The iPad 2, which was released earlier this year, is, from what I can tell, one of the slowest iOS devices to get a jailbreak. So far, it has only been jailbroken on iOS 4.3.3 and there has been no news of an iOS 5 jailbreak… until today, that is. An iPhone Dev-Team member has confirmed that the iPad 2 has been jailbroken on iOS 5 and we’ve got the details after the jump!
Unless their chipset has already been exploited and jailbroken on a previous device, it takes a lot of time for the iOS jailbreaking community to come with a jailbreak for a new iOS device. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2, both of which are based on a still (bootrom) unexploited dual-core A5 chip, haven’t received a jailbreak for iOS 5 yet, but it appears that they’ll be getting one soon as a certain eminent iPhone hacker has let us know that the iPhone 4S has already been jailbroken with a jailbreak for iPad 2 in the works.
If there's one thing we all seem to enjoy doing, it's looking into the future and making weird and wonderful predictions about what the future will be like, and how our world will be changed dramatically by the technology around us.
The recent release of Steve Jobs' life story as told by Walter Isaacsson has revealed quite a few details of Apple's future ventures, including their aspirations to enter the competitive connected TV market - spearheaded by Jeff Robbins - a guy who seems to have more than a little pull within the Cupertino company's ranks.
You may remember the news which was posted earlier in regards to the upcoming Google Music store. It appears that it may be coming sooner than we think!
Keeping your music, movies, TV shows and photo library in sync across multiple devices emerged as one of the biggest first-world problems with the rise in popularity of smartphones and tablets a few years ago. The issue has only recently been resolved to a certain extent thanks to solutions such as Apple’s iCloud and Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive, but managing data - and keeping it in sync - is still not as seamless as we would like it to be. Adobe is attempting to solve the photo library syncing issue to the fullest possible extend with their new Carousel apps for iOS and OS X which, well, keeps your photos in sync. Check it out after the break!
Last year, Adobe introduced an amazing new feature called Content-Aware Fill to their popular graphics editing program Photoshop. The feature was based on a technology called in-painting which allowed users to remove unwanted objects from their otherwise perfect photograph in a very easy way. Today, we came across an app called TouchRetouch which lets you do the same, albeit on an Android smartphone and it is what we’ll be talking about in this post.
Unless you've been living under a rock, or perhaps an oversized Android phone, the chances are you know that both Samsung and Apple have been at each other's throats for some time now, with both claiming and counter-claiming all kinds of weird and wonderful things.
The jailbreak community presents the perfect opportunity for developers to plug the holes which exist with each and every iOS release. Apple's fifth iteration of its mobile operating system has brought forth some great new features, but there is, and always will be, room for improvement.
It's really not a great time to be involved with Research In Motion. Take the company's tablet, for instance, the PlayBook was announced to much fanfare not that long ago, and after its release, some people went and bought one, not a lot, but some. Now the Canadian firm has had to delay the next big software update for the PlayBook, and things are getting worse for the beleaguered company.
