The Pangu team today released an update to the Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether package, pushing the patch to version 0.3, but it was pulled almost immediately because it caused issues on 64-bit devices, such as the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPad mini 2, 3 and iPad Air 1, 2.
The Pangu8 untethered jailbreak has well and truly arrived, with the Chinese team behind the tool having released an updated version featuring English language support and bundling the latest version of Cydia in as standard. Over the past fortnight, authors of some of our most cherished and revered tweaks have been busily adding support for the new iOS 8 / 8.1 software and its accompanying jailbreak, and if you enjoy tinkering with the look and feel of your device's home screen, then one of the best tweaks in the business has just been bumped with support for iOS 8.0 through 8.1.

With Apple touting HealthKit and Google also joining the fold with Google Fit, it was inevitable that Microsoft would join the fold at some point, and having taken the wraps off its fitness-related Microsoft Band wearable, the accompanying health and fitness platform - aptly named Microsoft Health - was also launched alongside the wrist worn gadget.
