The Smart Cover, which Apple rolled out with the iPad 2 in March, creates a novel way to keep the tablet as blemish-free as humanly possible, while helping to preserve battery life by putting the device into an instant sleep.
Over the last few weeks, it has become clear that Apple has already begun working on a new iPad, presumably to succeed the 6-month-old iPad 2. According to a report, the company's suppliers will begin assembling it in small quantities, presumably for testing purposes: all of them, except Samsung.
Those familiar with the iOS jailbreaking world are probably aware of Nicholas Allegra, commonly known as Comex, the author of the incredibly popular jailbreaking tool JailbreakMe. Now, he revealed in a tweet that he will be working as an internee at the company whose devices he loves hacking; Apple!
Considering it was created in the image of an iPod, you would have thought that the iPhone series would have the iPod feature down to a tee. That hasn't turned out to be the case, with many users unimpressed with the music functions on a device which were derived from the world's most iconic portable music player.
Despite learning over the last few weeks that Apple would be delaying the release of the iPad 3 until early next year, it looks as if Jobs and Co. are in the process of securing a decent supply chain for the display, with 3 shortlisted candidates.
If you're a regular reader of this site, or just a registered Apple developer, you're likely aware that iOS 5 Beta 6 was released on last Friday, as the system edges closer to its final form. If you have jailbroken iOS 5 Beta 6 using Redsn0w 0.9.8b5 (the old version), as we have mentioned before, you should have noticed some stability issues. Thankfully, all of these issues have been fixed in a new version of Redsn0w which was just released.
Most iOS users wouldn't like to trade the user experience of their system with the one found in Android, yet it's often nice to experiment with new user interface paradigms. Android Delete is a new jailbreak tweak that allows iOS apps to be deleted from the Home Screen just like they can on Android launcher.
Earlier this week, Apple seeded iOS 5 Beta 6 to developers for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch which includes usual bug fixes and performance enhancements.
If you've been following the Apple news recently, you're probably aware of iOS 5 Beta 6, the latest build of iOS 5 which was seeded to registered Apple developers. The first question you might be asking yourself is whether this new release can be jailbroken: the answer is yes, we have tested and can confirm that this latest seed of iOS 5 can be jailbroken using current version of Redsn0w (by pointing it to iOS 5 Beta 5 firmware), on any device other than the iPad 2.
As you might be already aware, iOS 5 Beta 6 has just been released. In order to sync iOS 5 Beta 6 devices, however, you'll need to install iTunes 10.5 Beta 6, which was also seeded to registered Apple developers today.
