New MobileMe calendar web app goes into beta

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Jul 7, 2010 a 8:31 am

Apple is launching a new version of the online MobileMe calendar web app, and much like they did with the new version of online mail, the design influence of the iPad app is unmistakable. Want in on the beta? Here's what you have to do:

To sign up, go to me.com/calendar and click "Request an invitation." You will receive an email notification when you have been added to the beta (we will add members in the order of their request over the coming weeks).

New features include:

The aforementioned new, iPad-like UI.
Shared calendars (for family and friends).
Published calendars (for groups and teams).
Event invitations with RSVPs (yes!).
Based on CalDAV standard.

It's good to go on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Mac, with Outlook support for the PC coming soon.

So, how does it sound? Enough of an upgrade? Anything major still missing? Anyone get in on the beta yet?

Full feature descriptions after the break.

iPhone OS 4 beta 1 redsn0w 0.9.5 jailbreak tool for devs now available

By Jeremy, Sunday, Apr 18, 2010 a 10:30 am

Just the other day iPhone Dev Team member, MuscleNerd, announced the release of iPhone 4.0 redsn0w 0.9.5 beta for developers and now he has announced beta number 2 0 [download link].

Since most jailbroken apps are currently busted in the iPhone O4 beta, this particular version of redsn0w is meant to be used solely by developers to fix their jailbreak apps and should not be used by anyone else.

TiPb Advisory: Not a developer and thinking of going to 4.0? Think twice!

By Jeremy, Friday, Apr 9, 2010 a 1:42 pm

iPhone OS 4.0 is already readily available over the internet. Somewhat less than honorable “developers” are even offering to “sell” access to the 4.0 beta. This has led to a lot of users getting, or at least thinking about getting, the 4.0 beta for their own iPhones (it's currently not even loading on iPod touches -- and forcing complete restores for recovery, so don't even consider that at the moment!). Well before you take the jump think carefully. And think twice!
