This will erupt lots of cries and disappointment but this was important to post as I know many of you have been really looking forward to it. The creator of Spirit has posted an update, “now” confirming that he is not going to release his jailbreak tool on Friday (tomorrow). Moreover, he has also deleted his “update” where he said that it was coming this Friday.

We did inform you all yesterday that Spirit untethered jailbreak for all the iDevices including iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will be released very soon. And now we have been tipped by our readers that it is in fact coming as soon as this Friday (if all goes according to plan) – the same day on which iPad 3G ships.
Well it now looks like Geohot is not going to release his jailbreaking bits for the iPhone and iPad anytime soon. According to some of his recent tweets, his tools are not ready for primetime use yet. What this probably means now is that he is not going to release blackra1n for untethered iPhone 3.1.3 jailbreak (as previously thought), iPhone OS 4 and iPad before the next-iPhone is out this summer.
Microsoft is set to bring the largest instant-messaging network to the iPhone platform. Neowin has grabbed exclusive screenshots of an early build of Windows Live Messenger for iPhone, which will be released in June as part of Windows Live Wave 4 launch.
One of the most anticipated game title of the year has finally arrived on the iPhone and iPod touch. Gameloft’s Iron Man 2 brings the magic of the superhero film, based on the Marvel comics character named “Iron Man”. Here is a quick look at all the features that the game offers.
I have just been tipped off on twitter about Limera1n.com – a domain which has been registered by the infamous iPhone hacker named George Hotz (aka geohot). The domain whois record for both blackra1n and limera1n shares same record and confirms that it has been registered by geohot on March 27. Whois record also reveals that it was last updated on April 13, almost effectively the same date when geohot successfully jailbroke iPhone OS 4 which makes it even more authentic. Though there is no confirmation about this by geohot himself.
Earlier this week, we informed you on how some hackers managed to port Android on the Apple iPhone. For those of you who were a little hesitant on trying it out because of all the advanced instructions; here is a simple step by step guide for you (courtesy of Android A Alot) which will enable you to dual-boot Android with iPhone OS on iPhone 2G.
Apple enthusiast site 9to5mac has managed to grab a screenshot from the latest version of iPhone OS 4, which shows a notification popping up in landscape view. While this is likely done in an error, there is still a remote possibility of Apple bringing such support to iPhone. After all, iPhone 3.2 for iPad supports landscape view, then why not on iPhone and iPod touch?
Earlier today, two prototype models of iPod touches were spotted on eBay which had cameras on the back with one of them shown running a development version of iPod OS, while the other one was running ‘switchboard’ window which could perform screen and camera test. They were marked as DVT-1 and DVT-2 which confirmed them as a development model. The recently “lost” iPhone 4G also had “DVT” written on its back.
Designer Anthony De Rosa of ADR Studio is back, this time with a design which has been inspired by the recently “lost/stolen” real next-gen iPhone which was reviewed and ripped apart by the folks at Gizmodo. Anthony explains his design as follows.
