iPhone 5 packaging caught on camera

If you're wondering what your iPhone 5 will come packaged in, here's your answer. In traditional Apple fashion, the box will be simliar to previous versions with nothing but an angled photo of the iPhone 5 on the front and writing on the side.

Countdown to an exciting event with Can't Wait for iPhone and iPad

Counting down to an important or exciting date like Christmas, you baby's due date, or the iPhone 5 launch? Then Can't Wait is for you! Can't Wait is an iPhone and iPad app that has a single purpose -- to keep track of the number of days until or since important dates in your life.

There are two main screen views in Can't Wait: a list of all your events and each event's individual page. When adding an event to your list, you select one of 10 colors, give it a title, indicate whether it's and event you "can't wait" for (countdown) or an "unforgettable" event that's already passed (count up), and select that date.

The Events screen will show the list of all your events. Shown with each event is the number of days until or since the event and it's title, date, and color. You can sort the list by nearest, farthest, name, or color. You can also swipe to delete individual events or tap the little arrow to the right of an event to edit its information.

If you close the Events page, you'll be take to the individual screens for your events. Each event's page is very minimal and shows only the numbers of days, the event name, and the associated color. The numbers are displayed nice and huge and for coundown timers, the event name is in a small font at the top, and for past events, the names are at the bottom. If you tap the Twitter icon in the lower left of the screen, you can send out a Tweet that shares the info on that screen. For example: "5 more days until iPhone 5 launch". Unfortunately, Facebook integration has not been added, yet.

On thing I've noticed about Can't Wait is that it counts down different than I would. For example, if it's currently Tuesday, I would say that there are 3 more days until Friday. Can't Wait says there is 2 days. I'm not sure if this is cultural thing, because I have encountered other apps the have similar countdown methods. I think there should at least be an option to pick if you want "0 days" to mean the day before a date or the date itself.

The good

  • Count down number of days until a specific date (like the launch of the iPhone 5)
  • Count up the number of days passed since an important date (like your wedding date)
  • Gorgeous UI
  • 10 colors
  • Share to Twitter
  • Universal for iPhone and iPad

The bad

  • Some colors are associated with a bolder font giving the illusion that those dates are more important
  • Countdown considers the day before the event as 0 days instead of 1 day
  • Can't share to Facebook (hopefully that changes with new Facebook integration in iOS 6

The bottom line

Can't Wait is an extremely simple app -- which is precisely what makes it so great. It's clear that a lot of effort went into the overall design with the pastel colors and beautiful, yet, minimalistic UI. The folks at Romly have found the perfect balance between design and function with Can't Wait.

HTC shows design work for Windows Phone 8X and 8S, strips them bare (video)

HTC shows design work for Windows Phone 8X and 8S, strips them naked video

HTC and Microsoft have been cautious about what they'll let us see of the software on the Windows Phone 8X and its 8S counterpart. Apparently, they don't have any such compunctions about leaving the phones' naked components hanging in the breeze. Along with outlining the essentialist, Metro-inspired philosophy behind the Windows Phone 8 devices' design, HTC's new behind-the-scenes video (after the break) shows the internals without that extra-colorful shell getting in the way. The exposé is more about the sheer demand for customized hardware to match those distinctive enclosures than anything too scandalous -- that tapered shape requires some finessing on the inside, we're told. Whatever you think of HTC's guided tour, the company has at least learned its lesson and decided against including any unexpected prototypes this time around.

PayPal Blocks Argentine Peso-to-Dollar Conversions

Online payment service PayPal will prevent users in Argentina from making domestic transfers. PayPal users in Argentina will only be able to send and receive "international payments" starting on Oct. 9. The move is apparently linked to the Argentine government's 2011 decision to restrict the purchase of US dollars, a move implemented either to prevent tax evasion and money laundering, or to prop up the value of the peso, depending on whom you ask. This created a black market for U.S. dollars, and because PayPal's exchange rates were more palatable than the black market's.

How to transfer data from your old Android or BlackBerry to your new iPhone 5

How to transfer data from Blackberry or Android to an iPhone 5

Switching to an iPhone 5 from an old Android, Windows, BlackBerry, or webOS phone, and not exactly sure how to transfer your data? Transferring old iPhone data is as easy as restoring from iCloud or iTunes, but crossing platforms can seem like a bigger headache. Here's the good news -- it doesn't have to be. There are lots of services available to help you get your data from one device to another.

There are two main ways to move all your data over to your new iPhone 5: desktop sync via iTunes and cloud sync via Google, Yahoo!, Exchange, etc.

Music and media

How to re-download movies, music, and tv shows on your iPhone iPad or iPod touch

Depending on where you bought, or how you put your music, TV, movie, and video library together, you have several options available to you for getting it on your iPhone 5.

iTunes

If you're already an iTunes user, it's easy to sync your information over to an iPhone. You can transfer large quantities of media from iTunes desktop over USB or over Wi-Fi sync, to your iPhone 5. You can also use iTunes in the Cloud to download specific media files directly to your iPhone over-the-air (OTA).

If you don't use iTunes, you can still move you music over that way. Just drag any DRM-free MP3 files into iTunes, and then sync away. If you have a very large library, you can even sign up for iTunes Match and move all of it into Apple's cloud locker.

You can sync multiple iOS devices (if you already have an iPad or iPod touch) with one iTunes library or set up multiple iTunes libraries to keep things extra neat and tidy.

Amazon, Google, etc.

Amazon and Google both have their music apps available for the iPhone, so if you've bought music from either of them, just download the appropriate app and you're good to go. Amazon Instant Video is available for the iPad, but not yet for the iPhone.

Mail, contacts, calendars, and data

mail contacts calendars iphone

Whether you use Gmail, Yahoo!, Hotmail, Exchange or another mail service, setting up your e-mail shouldn't be an issue. If you store your contacts, calendars, and other important data with Google Sync, Exchange, or Yahoo! syncing services, we can help you pull that over too. If you don't, you can still most likely import that data within iTunes as a last resort.

Google Sync

Here is a way to use Gmail or Google Sync to transfer your data. If you're already using a Gmail or Google Account to sync your mail, contacts, and calendars, this process is dead simple. Just make sure you've done a sync on your current BlackBerry, webOS or Android device.

  1. On your new iPhone tap Settings and go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
iphone_settings_mail
  • Tap on Add Account...
  • iphone_mail_accounts
  • Now tap on the Gmail option.
  • iphone_mail_choices
  • If you want full push, you can also set Gmail up as Exchange as well. Visit Google's Exchange page for instructions on setting up this way.
  • After your account is verified, you can simply choose to sync what items you would like to sync by turning those options On.
  • sync options for gmail
  • If a message pops up asking what you'd like to do with the data, choose to replace your iPhone data or merge data. Whichever is appropriate to your situation.
  • After you've done this you can continue using Google Sync if you'd like or disable it and use iCloud going forward. Just delete the Gmail account or disable it. If asked what to do with the data on your iPhone, just choose to keep it on your device. Then sign in with iCloud and it will now sync everything up and everything new from here on out.

    Note: Google may have issues syncing your contacts unless they are in the "My Contacts" category in Google. He had some contacts listed in other groups and they wouldn't come down. So make sure all your contacts are filed under the general "My Contacts" group if you're having issues with your iPhone syncing into your Contacts app from Google.

    Yahoo! Sync

    To perform a sync with Yahoo!, you are essentially going to repeat the same steps you would for Google sync (see above), except you'll choose Yahoo when you choose your new account type. All the options should be identical when it comes to syncing contacts, calendars, and email accounts. And again, when you're done you can choose to continue using Yahoo! Sync or use iCloud.

    Exchange and Hotmail

    If you're using Exchange at work, and/or Windows Live Hotmail at home, again the instructions are the same as above just choose Exchange ActiveSync as your account type, or hit the new iOS 5 Hotmail button and you're set. (If you have problems with a work Exchange account, check with your IT department for the proper settings).

    iTunes data transfer

    If you don't use any Google, Yahoo!, Exchange or any online service and you're just looking to transfer your contacts to your iPhone, you can do that too. Whether you have Windows or Mac, you can transfer contacts from your current smartphone to your iPhone pretty easily.

    1. Plug your old device into the computer and sync them with either Outlook, Exchange, or Mac Address book. This process is pretty easy but varies from device to device, so you may need to refer to your specific device instructions in order to do this. If you still have an issue doing this, head on over to the iMore Forums for some expert switcher advice and help.
    2. Once your contacts are already on your computer, you can plug your new iPhone into your computer.
    3. Open iTunes and click the Info tab under your iPhone sync settings.
    4. You will see a Contacts option. Select that and choose what contacts you would like to be synced to your phone.
  • Click sync and wait for iTunes to do its thing. When complete, your contacts should now be on your new iPhone.
  • Note: You may have noticed iTunes has native options to configure Yahoo! or Gmail sync. You are more than welcome to use these options as well. They are just as easy. You can also choose to sync calendars via iTunes as well. Use whatever process is going to be more convenient for you on an ongoing basis.

    Photos

    Transfer photo data

    The iPhone is super easy when it comes to photos. Regardless whether you use a Mac or a PC, all you've got to do is get pictures off your old device and onto your computer. Your iPhone and iTunes can do the rest.

    PC users

    1. Simply sync or transfer the photos from your old device into your photos on your Windows PC. Whether you choose to do this with your actual device, or from removable storage like an SD card is your choice.
    2. Plug your new iPhone into the computer and open iTunes and navigate to the Photos tab.
    3. Navigate your way to where you save your photos to your PC when choosing what photos to sync and make sure to choose the pictures you'd like on your phone.
    4. Click sync and wait for iTunes to finish. Your photos should now show up in the Photos app on your iPhone.

    Mac users

    1. Plug your old device into your Mac and open iPhoto. (If iPhoto doesn't recognize your Android, webOS, or Blackberry phone, simply transfer the pictures from the removable storage in your device, if you have that option.)
    2. Your device should show up in the left navigation pane of iPhoto.
    3. Name your album and import the photos. Alternately, you could select just the photos you'd like on your new device if you want.
  • Open iTunes and go to the Photos tab. Select the albums or events you'd like to sync to your new iPhone.
  • Click sync and wait for iTunes. After the sync is complete, you should see your new Photos in your Photo app on your iPhone.
  • Next steps

    The iPhone is a pretty easy device to transfer data to. Once you've gotten all your data from your other device into a cloud service or on your computer, it should be easy as pie. If you guys have any issues doing any of this, feel free to check out the iMore forums for answers to many questions.
