Yes you read that right! If the video embedded below is anything to go by, running Android on iPad will soon become a reality.
The final version of iOS 4.2 was originally scheduled to drop sometime this week. We then heard about reports of it being released on Friday (Tomorrow), with iTunes 10.1 and Mac OS X 10.6.5 on this past Wednesday. While OS X 10.6.5 did drop on time, iTunes 10.1 didn’t.
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.
iOS 4.2, at least from what information we have so far, is slated for release this Friday and it’s going to be a significant update for iPad (not so much for iPhone / iPod touch, though). And of course, there’s going to be a jailbreak to accompany the new iOS version. Here’s all you need to know.
While we recently covered a jailbreak app called Private Area that did the same thing, it simply pales in comparison to the one this post is about: iDiscrete.
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.
Probably the most easiest way to install Android on an iPhone 2G/3G is via iPhoDroid, which we did cover previously. But the problem with it is; you should have a computer to run the whole process of installing Android on your iPhone 2G/3G. But thanks to Bootlace 2.1, you can now install Android 2.2.1 Froyo on your jailbroken iPhone without needing to connect it to any PC or Mac!
Have you ever wanted Android-like panoramic wallpaper scrolling when you switch homescreens on your iPhone or iPod touch? Well, now you can with a tweak for jailbroken iPhones / iPod touches called Parallax.
Remember the HTC myTouch 3G with the near-perfect Chinese iOS 4 clone that we posted back in mid-September? That thing has a brother now: and it’s a Samsung Galaxy S-“branded” smartphone that seems to be running on the same software.
