    Online Guide To Apple Configurator

    You may have noticed a few new articles on Apple Configurator 1 recently (which isn’t assuming anyone actually notices what I’m writing about).

This guide is now available at https://krypted.com//guides/apple-configurator/.

    Bushel: Notes On Unlocking A Locked Device

    We’ve all been there, or spoken with someone who’s been there: you’re looking at a locked device and someone doesn’t know the PIN to unlock the device. On an iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch a Mobile Device Management product such as Bushel can unlock that device by resetting the PIN and allowing you to configure a new PIN. It’s kinda’ awesome when someone forgets a PIN they assigned a device, leaves the company or just plain forgets. But, there are a few things we should probably mention about this feature of Bushel: Read More About Unlocking A Locked Device On The Bushel Blog

    Apple Watch Vs. Pebble DeathMatch (Comparison)

    When I started to write this, I had this idea that I’d write an article that looked at the features and the usability of the Pebble and those of the Apple Watch. Both have the ability to load custom apps, both have app stores, both do many of the same other tasks, etc. The problem with that premise for this article is that they simply aren’t even remotely comparable. Let’s look at why: Apps: The Apple Watch can support apps and glances from apps. You can load as many as the thing can take, you can get different types of apps and there are already hundreds (if not thousands –…
