I have just been tipped off by one of our readers who has got a reply from Chpwn, confirming that Cydia is now ready for primetime use on iOS 4.2.
Jay Freeman aka saurik aka the guy behind Cydia recently gave a rather interesting TED talk at TEDxAmericanRiviera where he talked about Apple’s “closed” App Store vs. the relatively open Cydia store.
Sources of MacStories have informed them that Apple will release final version of iTunes 10.1 along with Mac OS X 10.6.5 today, followed by the next major update of iOS (version 4.2) for iPhones, iPods and iPads on Friday, November 12, 2010. The arrival of OS X 10.6.5 and iTunes 10.1 before iOS 4.2 makes sense because they are required by iOS 4.2’s AirPrint and AirPlay functionalities.
Although iOS alerts you when the device’s battery drops below 20%, you might want to change that to something higher or lower depending on your preference and you can do that with PowerAlerter.
Chronic Dev Team have lived up to their promise! The source code for Limera1n-based GreenPois0n iOS 4.1 jailbreak tool is now available publicly for download.

Quake 3 Arena HD has finally landed on the iPad ! You can now relive the entire Quake 3 experience in full screen glory on your iPad. It even supports both offline and online play, with more levels that can be added via iTunes file sharing feature!

The much anticipated Skyfire web browser for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is now available for download! It was originally expected to go live this Thursday, but for whatever reason, it looks like they have released it today as it is now available on the US iTunes App Store !
Apple has already seeded the final Gold Master version of iOS 4.2 to developers. Public release is looming near. Once the new firmware is out, Apple will stop signing the old firmware, which will make it impossible for you to get SHSH blobs for iOS 4.1.
