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.
As many have been predicting, Apple release iOS Beta 3 today, the third pre-release version of iOS 5. While we don't know much about this release yet, it's expected to contain a vast amount of bug fixes and small feature tweaks.
Those who have been lucky enough to get their hands on a Google+ invite may now be wondering how to get the most out of the service from their iOS devices until the official Google+ app for the system becomes available. The same app has been available on the Android Market ever since Google+ was first announced, yet it's still undergoing Apple's strict approval process. Thanks to a Picasa client, however, you can now upload pictures from your device to Google+ unofficially.
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.
If you thought people jailbreaking on-display iPod touches and iPads at Apple Stores was cool, this you’ll find even more cooler.
Earlier this week, we showcased Swype for iOS, a new jailbreak that greatly increases typing speed on iOS devices. Back when we first previewed the tweak, it had several caveats, such as low accuracy and other bugs. Swype has now been updated to address those issues and make the port feel more like the original Android version.
