AirPrint Hacktivator Enabled iOS Air Print Service

We are still unclear exactly how Apple will launch AirPrint in iOS 4.2. At the moment, the last we heard was that shared printers are now not supported and the only way to print from the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch is to print to one of ten AirPrint compatible wireless HP printers.

If this continues to be the case then you might want to test out AirPrintHacktivator that manages to re-enable the service. To get it to work you’ll need a Mac along with the latest Max OS X 10.6.5 as well as iOS 4.2 GM of course. [Read more…]

Angry Birds Coming to the Big (TV) Screen

Pigs have taken your eggs. What better way of getting back at them by firing ‘angry’ birds from a massive slingshot directed straight at them. That’s pretty much it as far as the premise goes and that’s really all you need to know.

Since it’s launch on the iPhone back in December last year, Angry Birds has gone from strength to strength. With downloads literally in the millions, the fowl-flinger has seen huge success amongst it’s rivals and since then has more recently arrived on smartphones running Google’s Android operating system and is currently still doing rather well indeed.

Run Android on your iPad with OpeniBoot

OpeniBoot is some software that allows you to run the Google Android OS on your iPad or iPhone 4, or what we should say is that it will eventually be the doorway to letting you install Android on iOS devices.

The software is still in early stages of development and not quite ready yet from what we understand. However, a video has been created (and embedded below) that shows OpeniBoot opening up an iPad for usage. What OpeniBoot is, is the open source version of the bootrom on iOS devices. When injected in to the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch, it allows unsigned code to be booted on to the device, ie, Android could be booted. [Read more…]

Apple AirPrint via Mac/Windows Could Be Delayed

AppleInsider has reported that AirPrint in iOS 4.2 could be delayed indefinitely for those who would connect up to a printer on a Windows or Mac based device. Rather than being able to print to a shared printer as originally planned, it seems that this feature might be pulled out of iOS 4.2 and instead of using shared printers, the system might only work with wireless printers in the HP range.

Specifically, the five models mentioned are the following…

* HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One Printer – C410
* HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer series – C310
* HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer series – B210
* HP ENVY 100 e-All-in-One Printer Series – D410
* HP Photosmart eStation Printer series – C510″

Apple MacBook Air Battery Lasts 2 Hours Longer Without Flash

While Ars Technica was testing the MacBook Air, they found that dumping flash actually boosted the battery life of the Air by two hours.

The MacBook Air doesn’t have Adobe Flash bundled with it on these new models. Instead, Apple suggests that users can download the latest and secure version themselves if needed.

The MacBook Air tested was capable of about six hours of web browsing on a full charge without flash. However, when flash was installed, that dropped to just four hours. [Read more…]

Apple Dead Pixel Policy for iPhone, iPad and Other Screens Leaked

Leaked information has revealed the Apple dead pixel policy for those with any Apple device with a screen.

Items covered in the dead pixel policy are classified by screen size with 1 to 3.5 inches being the lower size all the way up to 30 inch screens.

Some interesting things to point out from the leaked dead pixel policy is that the iPhone, iPod touch and any other device with a 1 to 3.5 inch screen has a zero tolerance policy meaning that 1 dead pixel (bright or dark) is enough to have a repair or replacement done. [Read more…]
