Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, stop what you are doing, go grab your A5 Apple device and prepare to receive the gift of liberation. For the last nine weeks all eyes have been firmly fixed on the individual blogs and Twitter accounts of the teams involved waiting patiently for day when the good news will appear.
The iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners waited patiently, then they waited some more, and finally after a little more waiting welcomed the Absinthe jailbreak software to the community. Produced by the famous Chronic Development Team, and supported by the conjoined efforts of Pod2g and the iPhone Dev Team, Absinthe offers users the ability to jailbreak iOS 5 and 5.0.1 into an untethered state.
We have waited nearly three months in total, and A5 owners have had to sit in envy for nearly four weeks as they watch their A4 device friends enjoy an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak, but the wait is nearly over. The release of the Corona A5 jailbreak is close and I can almost taste its liberating goodness.
The long wait is nearly over folks, and that elusive iOS 5 jailbreak for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S users looks to be only a matter of days away.
To coincide nicely with the impressive educational announcements made today in New York, Apple have also released iTunes 10.5.3 which adds synchronization support for the newly announced interactive books.
You may or may not be familiar with the iTunes U area of the iTunes Store which allows Higher Education institutions to make audio and visual content available for download and subscribe to. One of the main advantages of the U scheme is that users can listen or view a piece of content on their computer, or on the go by synchronizing with their mobile device (such as an iPhone or iPad).
Case manufacturers have a somewhat hazy past when it comes to predicting what upcoming Apple devices are going to look like. We had the iPhone 5 cases which promised a teardrop design for example, and we all know that didn't come to fruition.
With Apple said to be at the business end of producing the third installment to it’s iPad range, the question many analysts will be asking is, can rivals launch a serious challenge to the undisputed king of the tablet market?
Those who have been patiently waiting for the release of the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered iOS 5.x jailbreak can breathe a tiny sigh of relief this evening, knowing that the time scales are shortening, and a public release approaching. We still haven't had the green light from any of the developers involved that the jailbreak is ready for prime time, but with every blog and Twitter update; the signs are all pointing to the fact they Pod2g and his Dream Team of developers are winning their battle against the A5 devices.
If you actually took the time to research into the various lawsuits that are filed against companies in the mobile and technology industry, I think you might actually be surprised at the frequent they crop up, and the big names involved. Companies which on the face of things seem to have a mutually beneficial working relationship, have probably at some point been involved in a bitter legal dispute for one reason or another.
