Ever since iOS 5 Beta 3 was seeded to developers earlier today, enthusiasts have taken a time to thoroughly examine the system and look for changes. It turns out that iOS 5 Beta 3 now allows users to set custom alert tones for everything, from new text messages and emails to calendar alerts.
JailbreakMe 3.0 has received an "essential upgrade" via Cydia today, allegedly fixing previous issues that caused Apple's Camera Connection Kit accessory, BiteSMS, and sometimes Cydia (disappearing problem) to stop working altogether. Every iOS user who has jailbroken their device with JailbreakMe 3.0 is encouraged to apply this update via Cydia as soon as possible.
According to MuscleNerd, a prominent member of the iPhone Dev Team, iOS 5 Beta 3, which was released to Apple developers a few hours ago, can be jailbroken using the same version of Redsn0w that was used for iOS 5 Beta 1 and Beta 2.
Right alongside the release of iOS 5 beta 3, Apple has also seeded the third beta of iTunes 10.5 which is a major requirement if you plan on restoring your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 5 beta 3.
Apple is now airing two new iPhone 4 commercials as part of the "If you don't have an iPhone..." series, which shows off iPhone features that aren't, according to Apple, available on any other device. The two new ads feature two well-known technologies: FaceTime and AirPlay.
It should be fairly obvious by now that a next-generation iPhone should be coming out in 2 months; what's unclear is what the new device will feature. According to a new picture that leaked onto the Internet on Sunday, the next iPhone will feature two cameras on the back for 3D video shooting. Is this a great revelation or just the result of half an hour worth of work on Photoshop? Read on.
Apple’s App Store was launched exactly three years ago on 10th July, 2008 with an update to iTunes. The very next day, Apple launched the iPhone 3G which, besides having subtle hardware/design tweaks over its predecessor, came with the App Store built-in on iOS 2.0. Apple expanded the Store’s scope last year when the company introduced its tablet iPad.
JailbreakMe 3.0 continues its steady growth with 2 million jailbreaks already applied since the tool came out (officially) last week. The news was delivered by Grant Paul (also known as @chpwn) via his Twitter account.
As any iOS user knows, Mobile Safari is a fast and an efficient browser, but it's not the most feature-packed. 360 Web Browser is a new mobile browser that provides a very functional browsing experience, with features such as Flash transcoding on certain sites for watching Flash video within the browser, and simultaneous downloads.
If you thought people jailbreaking on-display iPod touches and iPads at Apple Stores was cool, this you’ll find even more cooler.
