There are rumours that this app "phones home" to the dev and disables/deletes all "pirated" music and apps on your device when syncing. Can not confirm it myself but interested in what others have found out. If so, no, not worth $10 for a spying big brother....]]>May 28th 2010 12:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
There's no realisitc way to tell that music has been pirated vs. backed up from your own CDs. So I'd say that rumor sounds suspect.]]>May 28th 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
It's not a joke, there are reports of this happening on several community forums...]]>May 28th 2010 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
No, he issued a statement saying this wasn't true.

I can def. confirm that the cracked version DOES indeed phone home and you are shown a webpage saying that it's a cracked version, that it will be shown only once, and that he hopes you enjoy it enough to purchase the app. THEN IT SENDS YOUR PHONES UDID.

Put 127.0.0.1 secure.getwifisync.com in your hosts file and you are all set.]]>May 28th 2010 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
Wow, wireless sync. Does this mean that the iPad can actually function w/o being plugged into a real computer, such as a netbook? Come on, keep trying to convince me this isn't the most expensive peripheral device ever, Apple.]]>May 28th 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/Why?
First of all, the developer of this application never planned for it to be released vid Cydia...He spend all that time, hard work, and energy on this, just so Apple could shit on his face and flush him down the toilet, for absolutely NO good reason? You're lucky we're getting this app at all, quite frankly.

Also, Jailbreakers are known to be into piracy -- I'm not saying EVERYONE who Jailbreaks downloads pirated or cracked apps (I for one do not and I have a jailbroken iPad), but the two do go hand in hand (ie -- you NEED to Jailbreak if you want to install pirated apps).

While I do think it is a bit extreme (I would rather implement code that pops up nag boxes and won't let you delete the application until you pay -- don't wanna pay, then have fun getting a nag box popup every 5 minutes), the dev is well within his right to make sure he is compensated for his hard work.

Want someone to blame? Blame apple -- I'm sure the proposed AppStore version of WiFi-Sync didn't have any music-fucker-upper functions in it :P]]>May 28th 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/FYI all, I purchased this app and it works awesome on XP.
Another interesting side effect to wifi sync is that DiskAid works wirelessly now!!! That to me is SO worth the 10$, but unpon reflection, the dev *really* should re-do the app and make it trialware, and use some sort of activation technology so theres no malicious code.]]>May 28th 2010 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/sry to the dev but i still got to plug in to charge the battery so its not of interest to me yet
if and when devices have wireless charging then this app would be create to replace the data cable]]>May 29th 2010 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
If the app has some kind of trial period where I can see if its something I'd like to pay for or not, I'd try it out to see if I'd use it, but without that (and with me no longer using my iPhone on a daily) it really isn't worth the risk.]]>May 28th 2010 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
It will (is) available for free ("trial") cracked from the usual places. The issue is rumours of it disabling non legit content on your device. ]]>May 28th 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
I know I can get a cracked version. No application this high profile would remain uncracked. But my thing is when devs do this it makes me think why are you trying to lock me into your application? Does it suck so bad that you have to "trick" me into buying your app?

At that point I don't buy based on principle alone. An app this expensive should have a trial in my opinion.]]>May 28th 2010 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
Sync it wireless on 3G, now there's something I'll be interested in!!

But on AT&T it might take a few hours

Its handy but way too buggy right now for it's 10 dollar price]]>May 28th 2010 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/May 28th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
1) You boot your computer. It's set to autostart iTunes.
2) iTunes detects you have iPod/iPhone/iPad connected wirelessly without booting up any apps on those devices.
3) iTunes compares the last time you synced the device with period of time you want it to sync. IE: You set it to sync every 24 hours, it does so.
4)You can stop wireless sync at any time, just like regular sync.

If it does not do all of these things, wireless sync is a big failure, because it's that much easier to connect a cable and be done with it.

Here's to waiting for a real wireless sync implementation. Cheers.]]>May 28th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/wi-fi-sync-now-compatible-with-windows-and-ipad/
The reason it does not come as trialware is because you would not purchase it after you've had chance to see how poorly it works.

iTunes locks up for about 2 minutes, then it says "verifying" for another 2 minutes, then syncing or creating a backup is painfully slow. You simply would not choose this option over a wired sync, so save your money until the dev team gets it right.

I personally think Apple only refused to list in the app store because its so poor.

Already deleted it and wasted 10 bucks!]]>May 31st 2010 11:02PM
