How to : Use GPS on WiFi Only iPad

I see the Wifi only version of iPad, kinda get transformed to the 3G version. Remember the MyWi app to use iPhone’s 3G on iPad? It filled in one gap in the Wifi Only iPad.

Next, you would have found out that the 3G-less version of iPad lacks GPS too. Sad na? No more. Just follow this tiny hack and have GPS on your iPad too!

  1. Jailbreak your iPad (Ignore if you have already done it).
  2. Get the BTstack GPS app from Cydia (worth $5).
  3. Turn off Bluetooth from your settings.
  4. Select the app and wait till it locates a external GPS device.
  5. Once done, let it Pair.
  6. Once done, it will accurately show your location and the data will start flowing in.

Now you can get out of that app and run other apps which require location Data. It will be carried forward by the app itself!

Winterboard coming soon to an iPad near you!

For all those who wanted to revamp and dress the current iPad Homescreen, here’s some good news. Winterboard, the famous app for iPhone themes from Cydia is soon coming to iPad, as tweeted by Saurik (The guy who made all this!).

With Winterbaord you will be able to overhaul the current looks of your iPad (with Jailbreak) to something what you would like at leave it at the mercy of awesome theme developers. I am sure they will find some good decorations for the 10″ screen!

Here’s a snap of how it looks.

Feel Windows Phone 7 on your iPhone!

This is the best part of having an iPhone. You can taste interfaces of several OS’s together without even needing to change your device. All you need to do is download some apps and your on it!

For Palm Pre like app switching, we had Pro Switcher. They actually ran Android on iPhone 2G too and amidst all this if you missed Windows Phone 7, then it’s here!

We’ve got a Windows Phone 7 theme released in Polish language (unluckily no English) at Deviantart.com (Direct Download Link – 11 mb). The theme resembles a lot of the actual OS save a few features which can only be possible on the actual Windows device. No Doubt the theme is worth it!

The theme comes with a little bit of text to read to install the theme and have it working flawlessly,
