iOS and jailbreak[1] developers Steven Troughton-Smith and Nick, who goes by the Twitter handle @TheMudkip have now managed to get iPad applications running on an Apple TV; in full screen mode running on a 720p HDTV. We told you yesterday[2] how they were working on a way to bring iOS apps to the Apple TV. Well they have now moved a step closer to making this a workable solution.
The first Apple TV port enabled iOS applications to run in a windowed mode on the Apple TV; this allowed multiple applications to run side by side. Now however they have discovered a way to run iPad applications in full screen mode with a resolution of 720p.
The port is far from being ready for primetime however it doesn’t stop you dreaming about the possibilities of running iPad apps natively on your Apple TV. Apple has long been rumored to be bringing an App Store to the Apple TV platform. Maybe something like this will force its hand to get it done.

Next-Gen iPods Are Curved Screen Bracelets, Report Suggests

iOS 5.1 beta was released earlier this week[1] and it appears to block access to system settings shortcuts that you may have added to your home screen. Systems settings have been making quite a stir recently when it was discovered that you could access individual settings using a URL type web address. The web address could then be saved as a favorite with a fancy icon on your home screen. This would then give you one touch access to Bluetooth settings, Wi-Fi settings and much more.
One developer even put the various settings options together in one place, created a beautiful icon set and wrapped each up as an easily installable system profile[2]. Now, for whatever reason, Apple has blocked access to system settings via this URL method in the iOS 5.1 beta.
This is a very disappointing move for many as Apple has continually ignored how difficult it is to access settings like Bluetooth without having to navigate multiple settings pages just to get to the one toggle you need. Hopefully Apple has a simple solution up its sleeve which it intends to release when iOS 5.1 makes its public release.

Despite case-leaks[1] to the contrary, TiPb heard fairly consistently that we we shouldn’t expect a redesigned iPhone this year[2], and it turns out we heard right[3]. Business Insider, however, is saying that there was a redesigned iPhone[4] on tap but Apple pulled the plug months before.
Steve Jobs was unhappy with the bigger screen because it “fragmented” iPhones, Apple’s big argument against Android is the way all the different phones from different manufacturers fragment that operating system.
Which is odd, because screen size doesn’t “fragment” phones, iPhone or Android. It’s screen resolution that does that[5]. A 3.5-inch iPhone at 960×640 pixels is pretty much the same to develop for as a 4-inch iPhone at 960×640. It’s only if that 4-inch iPhone jumps to something like 1280×720 that developers have a problem.
Apple has several prototypes per generation and I’d be shocked if they hadn’t and aren’t still testing devices with different screen sizes. If Apple does ever choose to pull the trigger on a bigger iPhone screen, they’ll no doubt have a plan for it, whether it’s slightly reducing the density or boxing the content (like iPad does with iPhone apps) to maintain the pixel count.
Even if Apple stays with 3.5-inches, believing it to be ideal for single-handed ease of use[6], they can’t change the resolution arbitrarily without causing massive issues with pixels falling off the grid[7].
BI‘s source goes on to say this iPhone prototype had an aluminum back, like the iPad, would eventually use liquid metal[8] in “nano-chromatic” colors, and had a wide, capacitive Home button.

At its debut, the iPad offered a hardware-based screen orientation lock[1], while the iPhone used a software-based lock that was introduced in iOS 4[2]. With the introduction of iOS 4.2, though, the hardware-based approach as removed from the iPad, leaving both devices to lock their screens in the same way.
One of the first really cool things most new iPhone and iPod touch owners discover is that if they turn their device on its side, the screen automatically rotates to match the orientation of the device. That is, if you turn your iPhone on its side, in most apps, the screen will rotate to display lengthwise rather than heightwise.
Sometimes, though, when you turn your iPhone or iPod touch, the screen doesn’t move. In most cases, that’s because you’ve got the screen rotation lock turned on.
As its name indicates, this setting prevents your iPhone or iPod touch from rotating its screen no matter how you turn the device. To confirm that screen rotation lock is turned on, look in the top right corner of the screen, next to the battery meter, for an icon that looks like a curved arrow surrounding a lock. If you see that, screen rotation lock is turned on.
To turn it on or off, do the following:
While many apps can rotate to either portrait (straight up and down) or landscape (sideways) mode, not all of them can. The home screen on the iPhone and iPod touch can’t rotate (though it can on the iPad) and some apps are designed to only work in one orientation. If you turn your device and the screen doesn’t rotate, check to see whether the screen orientation lock is present in the top corner. If it’s not, the app is probably designed not to rotate.
While the iPad runs the same operating system–the iOS–as the iPhone and iPod touch, its screen rotation works a little differently. For one, its home screen can rotate. For another, the screen orientation lock is controlled a bit differently[3].
In the Settings app –> General, there’s a setting called Use Side Switch to: which lets you choose whether the small switch on the right side of the iPad above the volume buttons is the mute button or the screen rotation lock. If you set Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation, then that button is the only way to lock and unlock the screen. However, if you set that to be the Mute button, use the steps described above for the iPhone/iPod touch to access the screen rotation lock.
