As amazing, revolutionary and magical the iPad may be, the fact remains that it lacks quite clearly in the video playback department. It only supports H.264, .mp4 and .mov video formats.

Napster - the predecessor to P2P file sharing programs like Limewire - is now available for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch). This is not the Napster of the ‘olden days (circa 2000) when you could look up a song and download it straight to your 10GB hard drive. The file sharing service went bankrupt in 2002, bought by Best Buy in ‘08 and went legal last year.
iOS 4.2 was released earlier today. Just like iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.0.2, the new iOS 4.2 at the moment is not jailbreakable.

So if you rely on a jailbreak and unlock, stay away from this new firmware until new jailbreak and unlock tools are available for download.

We previously broke the news to our respected readers of a low-level bootrom exploit which would enable jailbreaking on iOS 4.1 and beyond with all versions of the iPod touch, iPhone and of course, iPad! This exploit was special in a way because Apple will not be able to patch the exploit with a software update, instead it will require Apple to release entirely revised hardware for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and we all know that we are at least 6 months away from any hardware revisions.
