On My iPad. I commented on Twitter recently: You know what? There are some really, really great iOS apps out there. Every day, I need my Mac a bit less. A few people seemed keen to hear more. For the purposes of this discussion, I'm ignoring the software development work. I know we still need Mac OS X to develop iOS apps. This post is about the apps I use on my iPad. Let's start with the dock: SafariMailCalendarEvernoteNoteshelfTwitterrific I've had an Evernote account since forever but it's only since iOS 5 shipped that I really started using it in earnest. Noteshelf is a new addition to the dock. Twitterrific is the only iOS Twitter client I've been able to live with. Page One Here's my home screen from top left to bottom right.
Flipboard Flipboard is another app like Evernote that I've had around for ages but it's only recently clicked.

Published on 11-03-2011 02:49 PM Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 is fully compatible with the iOS 5.0.1 Beta released to developers yesterday.
Yesterday, Apple pushed out the iOS 5.0.1 Beta to developers which has fixed numerous bugs in iOS 5 and brings the beloved multitasking gestures back to the original iPad. It was reported that iOS 5.0.1 could have been jailbroken with redsn0w 0.9.9b7, although you would need to point redsn0w to the iOS 5.0 firmware file, and the jailbreak was tethered. Originally Posted by Dev-Team Blog Redsn0w version 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta that Apple let developers start testing this week (so you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick). For those iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 users who preserve their baseband, the Mac version can also produce the NO_BB_* custom IPSW's for 5.0.1. This is still a tethered jailbreak for all except old-bootrom 3GS users. This new update brings support for the iOS 5.0.1 Beta. You can download Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 for Mac, here. The Verge.
