    Well you had to do it didn’t you. You just had to taste that infamous iOS 5 beta and now you have been cast from many stuff you used to in the previous version, don’t worry! We are here to help bring you back from the abyss!

    Prerequisites:

    1. The IPSW of choice (I would recommend 4.3.3) as no need to roll back further. Just make sure you have your SHSH stored with Cydia if you choose to go older then 4.3.3).
    2. TinyUmbrella. Just download the version that will work for your system.
    3. iTunes 10.5 beta. You should have this already as you needed it to install 5.0 beta

    How To Downgrade From iOS 5 To iOS 4.X Guide:

    1. Open iTunes
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Enter DFU mode
      • Turn device off
      • Hold power button for 3 seconds
      • Without releasing power button, hold down home button for 10 seconds
      • Release power button, but continue to hold the home button until iTunes recognizes your iPhone in recovery mode. If you did it right, it should just have a black screen with no connect to iTunes logo.
    4. Hold down the option key / shift on windows and click the restore button in iTunes
    5. Browse to wherever you have your IPSW saved and select it.
    6. iTunes will give you some warning, just click the flashing ok button.
    7. Sit back while your computer is working.
    8. If you are using an iPhone 4, you should be done. If not, you have received some sort of error more then likely. This is normal. Open TinyUmbrella and click the exit from restore button.
    9. YOUR DONE!!!

    Note:

    if you have changed your host file for cydia, you have to change it back to use this guide. TinyUmbrella will do this for you in the advanced tab.

    Interesting screenshots from Nuance’s new SpeechTrans Ultimate App. Nuance is widely believed to be working deeply with Apple on their speech recognition technology so maybe they know something.  Or maybe they just pasted screenshots that were too big on their App?!

    iPad with Retina Display was much rumored earlier this year, iPad 2X graphics were found in the iBooks application and were immediately assumed to be for the iPad 2, which does not include a Retina display once unveiled.

    Now, the guys at TechUnwrapped digging deep inside the new iOS 5 SDK have found images marked with 2X making the new iPad capable of displaying 2048 x 1536 resolution on its display (four times the pixels) of the current iPad (1024 x 768) this pushes the speculation further more as this is not apparently for pure testing purposes. The image below from Newsstand app.

    As iOS 5 is the base for the next generation iPhone and iPad it does make sense that the new iPad will get a really Retina display after all
