One of the things which iPhones and iPod touches are still missing over Android devices is the animated or live wallpapers option which were first introduced with Android 2.1 on Nexus One back in January of this year. But thanks to this new jailbreak app called vWallpaper, you can now have animated wallpapers on any iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 4.x / iOS 3.x. This in my opinion is the single best reason (behind unlock of course) to jailbreak your iPhone or iPod touch now if you haven't already. Some of these HD animated wallpapers just shine like anything on the gorgeous Retina Display of iPhone 4. Don’t believe us? Check out the video after the break.
Facebook for iPhone App has Over 100 Million Users! That is as Much as All iOS Devices Sold by Apple
According to a recent post on Facebook blog, Facebook has over 150 million users actively accessing the worlds largest social networking site via mobile devices. Out of those 150 million active mobile users, “Facebook for iPhone” accounts for a staggering 100 million users per month. Now that is as much as the number of iOS based devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) sold by Apple as per June of this year. What this means is that there is a “Facebook for iPhone” app installed on almost every iOS device ever sold!
We have just updated Redmond Pie’s homescreen bookmark icon for all iPhones, iPads and iPod touches so that it is compatible with the higher resolution “Retina Display” of iPhone 4. You can add this bookmark to the homescreen of any of your iOS based device to keep yourself updated with all the latest news! Follow the simple instructions posted below to add it your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Jailbreaking may have gone completely legal in the United States but that doesn’t stop Steve Jobs and Co. in their fight against unofficial / unauthorized use of iOS based devices. Apple today has applied for a new patent which will allow the Cupertino based company to remotely disable any iOS based device (iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) against any unauthorized usage which is not supported by the company, such as “jailbreaking” and “unlocking”.
Here is what appears to be a leaked late production unit of a white iPhone 4 which is officially scheduled to launch “later this year”. 9to5Mac site which got the scoop on it believes that this might be one of those units which have been “scrapped by Apple at the last minute after defects in the white color clarity were found”. Unboxing and hands-on video after the break.
Facebook has just released version 3.2.1 of Facebook for iPhone to fix bug fixes. We havent spotted anything new yet except for the bug fixes. Hit the update button now and let us know if you spot a change or two.
As promised, Facebook 3.2 for iPhone is now available on the iTunes App Store. The most significant change in this new update is support for Facebook’s new service called “Places”. Apart from this, this new version also finally brings new “Pull-to-refresh” feature like Twitter app, and uploading of photos and videos in the background (iOS 4 multitasking). Full change log is as follows.
The unofficial release of PwnageTool for jailbreaking iOS 4.0.2 is now out in the wild. It can jailbreak iPhone 3GS (with old bootrom only) using iOS 4.0.2 custom firmware. There is of course no need to update to iOS 4.0.2 if you have iOS 4.0.1 (jailbroken using JailbreakMe) and PDF Patch installed from Cydia. But in case you have updated to iOS 4.0.2 accidently on your iPhone 3GS (with old bootrom), you can jailbreak it again using this version of PwnageTool for Mac.
If you haven't been living under a rock or something, you will probably know that it was Apple who first came up with this new innovative way of unlocking phone on a touch-screen with iPhone. The now “Slide to Unlock” screen that you probably see the most on your phone was one of the most “ooh aah” thing of 2007. Same goes for iPhone’s virtual keyboard which had this “letter pop-out” effect which no other phone at that time had.
Just found this out and thought it was pretty neat and worth a share. This new wallpaper is fully optimized for iPhone 4’s Retina Display (960 x 640), and it shows off the internal circuit board of iPhone 4 in great detail. It is fresh, new and unique, and really shines on iPhone 4’s display as can be seen in the image below.
