The ongoing argument between Windows and OS X users as to which holds the crown is of fierce debate, with devotees from both sides quick to point out the various advantages and disadvantages of each.
The public may not remember, but up until 2001 the major high streets around the world were missing one key component - Apple retail stores. It wasn't until May 19th 2001 that the first two Apple retail stores opened in Virginia, changing the way the company did business by showcasing their own products in their own stores for the first time. Prior to the first store opening, Apple relied predominantly on electronics and big box computer stores to give their products a high street presence.
2011 was a year made up of mixed fortunes for Cupertino-based Apple. From a trading and financial aspect; they went from strength to strength with success of the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S becoming their most successful product launch in the companies history with 4 million units being sold in the first three days. Let us not forget that the share price also breached the $400 mark in 2011 for the first time.
After going through a relatively quiet patch during the latter months of 2011, the last three weeks have been a hive of jailbreaking activity. They say; you can have never have too much information, but there has been so many updates posted to blogs, and various Twitter accounts that in some circumstances it has been difficult to keep up. Let's try and bring some sanity to the situation and see where we are at.
With iPad 3 set to be announced any time in the next few months; the rumors and counter-rumors are beginning to gather pace. Just recently there were reports that Sharp was to be the producer of panels for the new, high-resolution displays, but that now seems unlikely.
If you aren't familiar with 'OnLive', they are predominantly a company who offer a cloud-based gaming experience where the games are stored on remote servers and delivered to users through an internet connection.
The cat and mouse game between the engineers at Apple and the people that provide us with jailbreaks is turning into more of a war than a game. For as long as I can remember, the production of a jailbreak for new devices and firmwares has always had stumbling blocks, but rarely has it thrown as many obstacles in the way as the current pursuit of the A5 jailbreak. We are only eight weeks away from the the iPad 2’s first birthday, and in that time we have only seen an untethered jailbreak possible on iOS 4.3.3 using JailbreakMe 3.0.
For those of you who have been involved in the jailbreaking community for quite some time, you will no doubt be familiar with the legendary hacker known as PlanetBeing. His real name is Yiduo David Wang, and at one point he was one of the core members of the iPhone Dev Team alongside the likes of MuscleNerd. Obviously we all know the former as one of the biggest names involved in providing baseband hacks and device unlocks, whereas Wang was more focused on the actual jailbreaks.
We brought you the information at the beginning of the new year that Apple were planning on holding a small scale event in New York, stepping away from their usual event home within San Francisco. At the time of writing there wasn't a great deal of information available about the specifics of the event, other than it was rumored that Eddy Cue, the companies Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services would likely be in attendance.
