Episode 46: iOS 5.1 Update

Hi Everyone,

iOS 5.1 came out this week. Don’t forget to backup your device before you run any updates and plan on 20-30 minutes for this update. Remember back in the tip for iOS 5.0, you can now run your update from your device. Set your iTunes to wifi and plug your device to a power supply (I have an alarm clock with a dock).

Here are a few highlights for this update:

·         Siri now supports Japanese…”Ohayo gozaimasu”
·         You can delete photos from “Photo Stream”
·         Camera on your iPad in easier to use.
·         With iOS 5.1, you can now run iPhoto and update your iMovie to create movie trailers…yeah
·         Camera shortcut is now visible on the “Lock Screen”. From the lock screen, place your finger on the icon and drag it upwards to open the app.

If you are in the market for an iPad, the new iPad 3 will be available on Friday, March 16th (if you saving up for my birthday in June, the Black 32GB Wi-Fi + 4G would be great…lol)
