Apple’s hugely popular iPad tablet, which revived the dying tablet industry last year, is being used in a wide variety of previously unexpected ways. This fact was highlighted in May’s If You Asked ad that Apple aired for the iPad 2 which showcases how the device is used by different people for different purposes.
If you've been paying attention to the news lately, and especially to this website, you know how much we've covered iOS 4.3.4, Apple's emergency security update for iPod touches, iPhones and iPads. If you're still thinking about installing it, there's yet another reason you shouldn't if you're using an iPad 2: you can say goodbye to jailbreaking it altogether, at least until a new hack is found.
According to i0n1c, a well-known member of the iOS jailbreaking community, users should not expect to see an untethered jailbreak for the just-released iOS 4.3.4 anytime soon.
With iOS 4.3.4 just released, rendering the also just-released super-simple JailbreakMe useless, some might be wondering how to jailbreak the new release of iOS. Well the iPhone Dev Team has just pushed a small update to Redsn0w to make it compatible with the just released iOS 4.2.4 firmware. This new version of Redsn0w can tether jailbreak most iOS devices on iOS 4.3.4, namely iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G. The only device that's not supported at the moment is the iPad 2. The process should only take a few minutes to get Cydia up and running on your device.
Apple has just pushed out iOS 4.3.4 for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch. And thankfully, we have cooked custom PwnageTool bundles which allows you to jailbreak any device (except for iPad 2) running iOS 4.3.4, and at the same time preserve your baseband for an Ultrasn0w unlock later on.
Released alongside iOS 4.3.4 is iOS 4.2.9 for CDMA based iPhone 4 on Verizon’s network that patches PDF vulnerability in Mobile Safari exposed by the recently released JailbreakMe 3.0 tool by Comex.
Multiple user accounts is a basic feature that's present in all major desktop operating systems, considered essential to maintain the privacy of users, especially when the machines are shared with many of them. As iOS devices, especially iPads, acquire more and more functionality that brings them closer to full-fledged laptops, it would only make sense for those devices to allow different user accounts. Thanks to this jailbreak tweak, known as iUsers, that is now possible.
If you own a business that relies on iOS devices, have you ever wished you could purchase apps in bulk and easily deploy them to all your employees? Even better, how would you like to be able to distribute apps made exclusively for your company across all the devices in your business? Apple has introduced Volume App Purchasing for Business, which aims to do both of those things.
In the tech blogging game, rumors are very much a hazard of the job. While sometimes we receive tips that make just enough sense to be real, others are more along the 'my brother's dog's vet's aunt heard that...' line.
