Jailbreaking may have gone completely legal in the United States but that doesn’t stop Steve Jobs and Co. in their fight against unofficial / unauthorized use of iOS based devices. Apple today has applied for a new patent which will allow the Cupertino based company to remotely disable any iOS based device (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) against any unauthorized usage which is not supported by the company, such as “jailbreaking” and “unlocking”.
Facebook has just released version 3.2.1 of Facebook for iPhone to fix bug fixes. We havent spotted anything new yet except for the bug fixes. Hit the update button now and let us know if you spot a change or two.
Facebook for iPhone version 3.2 was rolled out last night which brought support for the newly launched “Places” feature, support for background uploading of pictures and videos in iOS 4, along with other visual enhancements such as “Pull-to-Refresh” to iPhone. However for many users including myself, this new version was mostly broken, throwing “Unable to Load this Page” error on most pages. Oh and if you tried removing and reinstalling the app, it simply refuses to login.
As promised, Facebook 3.2 for iPhone is now available on the iTunes App Store. The most significant change in this new update is support for Facebook’s new service called “Places”. Apart from this, this new version also finally brings new “Pull-to-refresh” feature like Twitter app, and uploading of photos and videos in the background (iOS 4 multitasking). Full change log is as follows.
At the Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, CA, Facebook CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg, along with other developers, engineers and partners at Facebook announced a new location based product called Facebook Places. This is essentially a check-in service like Foursquare and Gowalla that allows you to check-in to places that you have been to share it with all your Facebook friends and family. You will be able to see which of your friends are currently at the same venue and which of them have been there. There is also going to be an option which will allow you to tag your friends into places you check-in. Of course you can change all that in your privacy settings and by default only those who are friends with you on Facebook will be able to see your check-ins. Facebook is also going to keep a complete history of check-ins that you have made at a dedicated page on web.
During Jimmy Kimmel’s live show, Justin Long took his iPhone out to share an interesting SMS conversation that he has had, in the process showing Cydia on his iPhone’s homescreen. For those of you who don’t know, Justin Long is the guy who starred in Apple’s widely popular and successful “Get a Mac” series of commercials which aired between year 2006 to 2009.
Just found this out and thought it was pretty neat and worth a share. This new wallpaper is fully optimized for iPhone 4’s Retina Display (960 x 640), and it shows off the internal circuit board of iPhone 4 in great detail. It is fresh, new and unique, and really shines on iPhone 4’s display as can be seen in the image below.
Boy Genius Report is reporting about a block of low level operating system code found in iOS 4 which reveals codenames for CDMA iPhone 4 and the next-gen iPad. Their sources at Apple has confirmed that the queries you see in the screenshot below refers to CDMA iPhone (on Verizon) and iPad 2 and that they are about to hit the field testing stage. Also these new devices are said to auto-activate, bypassing iTunes for activation. Apple probably has done it so that carriers may not be able to find anything in the activation logs.
Cant wait for the official version? and want to get CineXPlayer for iPad on your iPhone and iPod touch right now? For those of you who don’t know, CineXPlayer is an iPad only app which allows you to load Xvid AVI files via iTunes so that you can easily play the format which Apple doesn’t allow. Since the developer hasn’t come up with an iPhone version of the app, a hacker decided to do it all by himself. You can check out the video after the break.
