With the release of iPhone 4S, Apple release the most awaited new iOS 5 for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 2,iPad 3 and first-generation iPad at WWDC. Before the release of iOS 5 everyone was expecting some cool features in the new iOS as Beta version was available before the official release .

iOS 5 Features

I am going to list down 6 important features out of 200 features(as announced by Apple) which are there in the new iOS5.

Start Camera without Unlocking the Screen Lock

Take Pictures Without Unlocking Device Screen Lock

As we know camera app is one of the most used icon in an iPhone or iPad as generally most of us love to click photos, so keeping this in mind Apple has put a new feature in iOS 5 through which you can just open the camera by double-tapping the home button when the device is screen locked, the cam icon will come on screen, tap on it and start clicking!

Assistive Touch

Assistive Touch

This feature comes into play when physical buttons of your device start giving problems and you are not able to access them. In this situation Assistive Touch is a feature added which shows the physical buttons on your screen which you can easily access by tapping the icon.

Take pictures using Apple’s headphone remote

Yeah you read it right! If you are having an Apple’s headphone then it is now possible to take photos by just pressing Volume-Up button. This feature can be really useful in situations where you want to take a snap from your phone without touching your phone,but for that your headphone must be connected with your device over air.

A new split keyboard (only for iPad)

Split keyboard

It gives you a power to tap out a message using your thumbs. In landscape view, it’s not possible to type easily if you have smaller hands. To avoid this simply place two fingers on the keyboard and move them outwards to split the keyboard in half or at left and right hand side of you tab.
This feature is only included in an iPad because it has bigger screen and we need our both hands to type effectively.

Alternate routes in Google Maps

Alternate routes

Now you can use the great feature of Google maps in your new iOS 5. Before this, it was only possible on desktop computers/laptops, and now this great feature is finally available on iOS devices too. To obtain the route between the source and the destination, enter the source and destination place and then just tap Route 1, Route 2, etc., to move between shown directions.

What are Private and Public IP Addresses

What are Private and Public IP Addresses

Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are usually of two types: Public and Private. If you have ever wondered to know what is the difference between a public and a private IP address, then you are at the right place. In this post I will try to explain the difference between a public and a private IP addres in layman’s terms so that it becomes simple and easy to understand.

What are Public IP Addresses?

A public IP address is assigned to every computer that connects to the Internet where each IP is unique. Hence there cannot exist two computers with the same public IP address all over the Internet. This addressing scheme makes it possible for the computers to “find each other” online and exchange information. User has no control over the IP address (public) that is assigned to the computer. The public IP address is assigned to the computer by the Internet Service Provider as soon as the computer is connected to the Internet gateway.

A public IP address can be either static or dynamic. A static public IP address does not change and is used primarily for hosting webpages or services on the Internet. On the other hand a dynamic public IP address is chosen from a pool of available addresses and changes each time one connects to the Internet. Most Internet users will only have a dynamic IP assigned to their computer which goes off when the computer is disconnected from the Internet. Thus when it is re-connected it gets a new IP.

You can check your public IP address by visiting www.whatismyipaddress.com

What are Private IP Addresses?

An IP address is considered private if the IP number falls within one of the IP address ranges reserved for private networks such as a Local Area Network (LAN). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks (local networks):

10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (Total Addresses: 16,777,216)

172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (Total Addresses: 1,048,576)

192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (Total Addresses: 65,536)

Private IP addresses are used for numbering the computers in a private network including home, school and business LANs in airports and hotels which makes it possible for the computers in the network to communicate with each other. Say for example, if a network X consists of 10 computers each of them can be given an IP starting from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.10. Unlike the public IP, the administrator of the private network is free to assign an IP address of his own choice (provided the IP number falls in the private IP address range as mentioned above).
