After seven betas, one GM and another performance improving update (which itself has two betas), iOS 5 hasn’t received an untethered jailbreak yet. Folks who wish to enhance their experience with apps and tweaks from Cydia have to make do with a tethered jailbreak, but it appears that the jailbreaking community is getting closer and closer to an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 as one hacker has sent out an update regarding its progress.

Folders for iOS were introduced back in 2010 with iOS 4 but, for people who like to install dozens of apps, the feature is quite limited in functionality: You are only allowed to place 12 apps inside each folder and you can’t place a folder within a folder. To get enhanced folders, you have no choice but to jailbreak your iOS device and install folder-enhancing tweaks.
Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) was announced on October 25th about two weeks ago and we got our first look at it on November 2nd just four days ago. While the trailer was very short and it seemed that it did not reveal much about the game, but if you looked closely enough, you would’ve found a lot of references to previous games in the series and you would’ve found out what to expect from the title when it releases next year. Still, even if you didn’t look closely enough, that won’t be an issue since we will analyze the most minute details after the jump.
Motorola sure is quick with announcing new smartphones. We saw the Droid 3 and Droid BIONIC released recently and we are just a week away from the release of the Droid RAZR which is a high-end superphone exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the USA. Droid RAZR is just another Motorola phone which has been rooted before it has been released because it, apparently, is subject to the same exploit that was used to root Droid 3 and Droid BIONIC. We’ve got the step-by-step guide for your perusal after the break!

Only days after seeding the first Beta of iOS 5.0.1 to developers, Apple today has dropped iOS 5.0.1 Beta 2 to the registered developers of iOS Dev Center.
According to a report published a few hours ago, Apple is preparing its retail stores for an all new self-check-out-without-confirming system called EasyPay.
Released just yesterday, iOS 5.0.1 Beta was jailbroken already using Redsn0w (by pointing it to the final iOS 5.0 firmware file). The iPhone Dev-Team has now released an updated version of Redsn0w which can recognize the 5.0.1 firmware file so that you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick.
According to a report published earlier today, Apple is planning to completely overhaul all of its product lineups sometime next year.
Apple has just released an update to their popular media player program iTunes. The update, numbered at 10.5.1 Beta 2 for developers, brings support for iTunes Match on Apple TV (10.5.1 Beta 1 brought it for iOS devices) which scans your music library and can match tracks with tracks in the iTunes Store.
