We have just been tipped off, by the user himself to an interesting story that he posted over at ModMyi Forums where he bought a new iPad (running iOS 4.2.1) for his lady as a Christmas present, only to find out that he was not able to jailbreak it using the latest version of Redsn0w.
Earlier this month, Comex of Spirit and JailbreakMe fame confirmed that a more efficient userland-based untethered jailbreak method for iOS 4.2.1 will be released before Christmas 2010.
Cydia is a household name amongst the jailbreak community, but what does the word really mean? and why was it called that? Those of you who have jailbroken iOS devices are very likely to have used Cydia. The credit for this store which brings extra unrestricted functionality to our iOS devices goes to Jay “saurik” Freeman, who happens to be the brains behind this concept.
We have already told you about an upcoming tool named Antid0te which promises to enhance the security mechanism of all the current jailbroken iOS devices so that they are secured as much, or even more than the non-jailbroken iOS devices. This new method uses ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) process which has been absent from all the current iOS devices, making them vulnerable to attacks such as the ones demonstrated at Pwn2Own contest.
After releasing a jailbreak app which enables AirPlay functionality via third-party apps, Erica Sadun has now released AirPlayer for Mac OS X which mimics as Apple TV (2nd-gen) to playback videos from iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to your Mac.

Earlier this month, we reported that Apple’s second generation iPad will begin shipping somewhere around the end of February 2011. And now multiple sources close to Apple's component suppliers have suggested that the upcoming tablet will feature not one but two cameras: one on the front and other on the back. Largan and Genius have been detailed as the suppliers who have received orders from Apple. The claim seems to be fairly valid as Genius is also the current supplier of the iPhone 4's camera.
