As many have predicted over the last few days, the fourth beta of iOS 5, Apple's next-generation mobile operating system, has just been released to developers today. While we didn't get the chance to play with the new build yet, it's likely to bring further feature enhancements and bug fixes to iOS 5.
Apple's methodology of testing a feature on one product and then trickling that feature out to other products looks set to be coming into play once again. According to the Display CEO of Electronic giant LG, Young Soo Kwon, Apple's next iPad will come with Retina display - just like on the iPhone 4.

These days, in order to downgrade an iOS device to a previous version of iOS, you need to have an old SHSH blob of that version, and the only way to do that is to back it up ahead of time, that is, when Apple is still signing the firmware. iSHSHit is a tool that backs up the firmware's blob for later use right on the device itself. The said app has now been updated to work with iOS 4.3.4 and 4.2.9 (for CDMA iPhones), which were both released to the public last week.
