Just like how you could jailbreak the iPhone and iPod touch with custom PwnageTool bundles, you can now jailbreak the iPad using the same method.
Apple has just pushed out iOS 4.3.4 for the iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch. And thankfully, we have cooked custom PwnageTool bundles which allows you to jailbreak any device (except for iPad 2) running iOS 4.3.4, and at the same time preserve your baseband for an Ultrasn0w unlock later on.
As we've speculated over the last few days, iOS 4.3.4 made its debut on iTunes. The new release, without clear release notes, addresses the PDF exploit in Mobile Safari used by JailbreakMe.
It's a story that we hear all too often, not just in the iOS gaming realm but also in the more publicised, and often more costly world of home console gaming, but game piracy is a very real problem.
Multiple user accounts is a basic feature that's present in all major desktop operating systems, considered essential to maintain the privacy of users, especially when the machines are shared with many of them.

If you own a business that relies on iOS devices, have you ever wished you could purchase apps in bulk and easily deploy them to all your employees? Even better, how would you like to be able to distribute apps made exclusively for your company across all the devices in your business? Apple has introduced Volume App Purchasing for Business, which aims to do both of those things.
If you've been paying attention to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware that the third beta of iOS 5 was seeded to developers earlier this week, and inevitably found its way onto file sharing sites hours later. Similarly to previous beta releases of iOS 5, Beta 3 requires users to have a registered developer account with Apple in order to get past the system's built-in activation process. Thankfully, there's a workaround.
Wired video mirroring was first unleashed on the iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.x, but starting from iOS 5 beta, Mirroring went cables free via AirPlay but had certain limitations and didn’t work in some apps such as FaceTime.
Apple has always been a fairly malware-safe world, aside from an occasional threat that pops up every so often. While malware incidence has indeed been low on both Mac and iOS, Mac OS X anti-malware maker Intego, has developed a new malware scanner for iOS devices.
Gaming on iOS just got a little more exciting, with a new trailer being released showing off an upcoming title from the people behind the hugely popular game on Xbox, PS3 and PC: Bioshock.
