I’m sure that by now you’ve heard of the horrible 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on Friday. More than a thousand people have lost their lives, countless have been injured and losses worth billions of dollars (or zillions of yen) have shook the country and its people. Those who are able to, are urged to donate to Japanese Red Cross Society … or alternatively, by purchasing an iOS video game!
iPhone developer and hacker iH8sn0w has released an update to Sn0wbreeze 2.3 (iOS 4.3 jailbreak for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch), which among many things, brings an option to enable Multitouch Gestures on supported devices, patch for Mobile Substrate, bug fixes for both iBooty and iBSS, and sleep bug fix for iPod touch 4G / 3G users.

Since the iPad 2 is out, the rumor mill has now shifted to another much awaited device, the iPhone 5. Based on the reports by a Chinese parts reseller, iDealsChina, iPhone 5 will feature 2 SIM card slots along with dual phone lines. The report is confusing in nature since it is speculated that iPhone 5 will include Qualcomm Gobi cellular/data chipset which helps support both GSM and CDMA connections in the same phone. It is more than a speculation though since Verizon iPhone 4 already includes that chip while it doesn't have a SIM card slot. May be this is what the folks at iDealsChina meant by dual SIM card slots? Now the new iPhone can not have dual SIM capability along with CDMA support, can it? Probably not.
