Constantly connecting your iOS device to your own computer to keep it in sync and backed up is a real pain. Lucky for you, we don’t have to do it anymore, thanks to iOS 5’s brand new Wi-Fi Sync feature.
Wi-Fi Sync (as its name might suggest) allows the device to sync with the computer over a Wi-Fi network rather than through a USB connection. It’s slightly slower, but we can do it any kind of time the device is on the same Wi-Fi network as the desktop. Better still, your own device stays perpetually connected: You can adjust settings as well as re-sync without to disconnect and reconnect any wires. (We can always continue to sync the old-fashioned method, of course.) Yet another benefit to this perpetual connection is the fact that whenever syncing, you re no longer stuck with the Do Definitely not Disconnect screen every time we re updating your own song list or perhaps changing a setting; instead, it all happens in the background, allowing we to multitask as well as use your own device during a sync session.
Set up Wi-Fi Sync: To enable Wi-Fi sync for your own device, you should connect the device to your computer-one last time!-and open up iTunes. Click on your device in the Source list as well as then scroll down to the bottom of the summary pane.
Check both the Sync With This Device Over Wi-Fi as well as the Open iTunes When This Telephone Is Connected box as well as press the Sync button to enable Wi-Fi syncing for your iPhone, iPod touch, or perhaps iPad.
The device will just sync with your computer whenever iTunes is running; as a result, you need to check the first two boxes in the Options section: Open iTunes Whenever This Phone Is Connected, and Sync With This Device Over Wi-Fi. Press the Sync button to save your own changes, and you re all set. By default, your device will sync with iTunes any time it’s plugged in as well as both are on the same Wi-Fi network; we can additionally force a sync by going to the Settings app on your device and tapping General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync as well as then tapping Sync Now.
With Wi-Fi Sync, we can keep your own daily activities running smoothly. But just what regarding whenever the next iOS update inevitably comes out? You don’t would like to have to connect your device back to the computer. And good news: With iOS 5, we don’t have to.
Install updates on your own iOS device: If you ve ever utilized an iOS device before, you re probably fairly familiar with the process of downloading app updates from the App Store app: When a little red badge appears in the upper right corner of the App Store icon, you open the App Store, navigate to the Updates tab, and download the app updates all at as soon as, to one by you. The Software Update process for iOS 5 is remarkably similar; but instead of going to the App Store, we go to the Settings app for any kind of program updates.
Such as the App Store, your own device perpetually checks for new software updates in the background. Whenever one is available, you see a red badge appear on the Settings app; to download it, open the app and navigate to General -> Software Update. There, we see a few short information about the update and a button to install it. You can also force the system to check for an update by navigating to the Software Update pane.
Due to the fact these iOS updates are “delta updates” (they contain only the parts of the system that have changed, and so we don’t have to download the entire program each time there is an update), they’re smaller; therefore, we can download them just about anywhere we have a decent 3G or perhaps Wi-Fi connection-on the bus, at home, walking down the street, you name it. To install these updates, however, you should have at least 50 percent battery lifetime on your device, or have it plugged into a power source.
Simply as a friendly reminder: Even though we can install these updates anywhere, you should always (usually, always) back up your own device before we do. You can use Wi-Fi Sync to back up to the computer, or perhaps, if you have iCloud Backup enabled, we can use that.
Install updates from your own computer: Maybe you re not that adventurous, as well as you d choose to install the software update the old-fashioned method. No problem: Just connect your own device to your own computer as well as check for updates in iTunes. (If we re making use of Wi-Fi Sync, we can additionally do this by plugging your own device into a power source and connecting it and your own computer to the same Wi-Fi network, and then opening iTunes.)

That’s based on Google’s latest platform version stats - the fortnightly changed breakdown of exactly what proportion of devices use each Android version - and the official activation numbers announced as part of the search giant’s financial results yesterday. Then, Google CEO Larry Page said 190m Android devices had been activated in total.
According to the platform stats, 1.8-percent of Android devices that have accessed the Android Marketplace inside the 14 day period up to October 3 2011 have been running Android 3.0, 3.1 or perhaps 3.2 (in contrast, 38.2-percent are running 2.3.3 Gingerbread or higher). Bashing those stats together gets we the 3.4m tablet figure.
Now, it’s worth noting that, because Google’s platform numbers are based on access to the Android Market, only those tablets that are Google certified - i.e. meet all of the company s criteria to include the official download store - are being counted. There are certainly more tablets available running alternative versions of Android as well as using third-party app stores, such as Amazon’s AppStore for Android, as well as they won’t be included in the total.
Nonetheless, it’s a disappointing figure compared to Apple’s iPad sales. The first-gen iPad sold 15m units in approximately a year, anything it seems all of the Android OEMs combined can’t challenge with Honeycomb.

Unfortunately, the business is but to amend the UK version along with other international versions of the page, at time of writing. According to those pages, first-gen iPad owners running iOS 5 should be able to “using four to five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen and swipe left or perhaps right to switch between apps.”
As many have complained regarding in Apple’s help forums, however, that’s certainly not the case. Apple is but to comment publicly, but instead has reportedly been pruning a few of the more frustrated posts from its user forum and making the amendments to the US website.
Limitations between different hardware versions are common, of course, but owners of the original iPad are particularly frustrated mainly because, with an Xcode hack, they had the exact same multitasking gestures working on iOS 4.3. This appears more such as a decision based on positioning than you on capabilities.
