How to enable Game Center for iPhone 3g on 4.2.1

Game Center is one of the many features that Apple decided, in its infinite wisdom to withhold from the iPhone 3g. There's not really any reason for this (other than to make us upgrade) and so you can enable it with this method:

iPad 2 to feature FaceTime camera and SD card slot?

Its pretty much a given right now that the next gen iPad, coming out in Ferbruary next year, will have a front facing camera for FaceTime. It is, however less certain that it will have a rear facing camera. An SD card slot seems far-fetched really. An image from Shenzhen MacTop Electronics shows supposedly a case for the next gen iPad with both a hole for a rear facing camera and a gap for an SD card.

Infinity Blade released on App Store

This stunning, long awaited game for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has finally been released in the US App Store. Currently priced at $5.99 its one of the more expensive games and also one of the largest at 318Mb. The graphics, however look truly stunning and I can't wait for it to come to the UK.

How to enable AirPrint for any printer

AirPrint was a much publicised feature of iOS 4.2 however what we've actually ended up with is disappointing to say the least. AirPrint currently only works with a handful of HP ePrint enabled printers. As pretty much no one has got one of these its a pretty useless feature. While its expected that things will change in a future update why wait? AirPrint has already been enabled for any printer hooked up to a windows PC.


For AirPrint to work you must first ensure you've got iTunes 10.1 installed. The printer must also be shared on your local network and your iOS device must have joined the same wifi network.
