With every iOS update released, attentions quickly turn to the hacking community to see what the state of play is regarding jailbreaking and unlocking. As was the case with the previous security update released by Apple some 12 days ago, you can still unlock your iPhone 4 running 4.3.5, but it will require purchase of the controversial yet effective Gevey SIM in order to work.
Mozilla appears to be attempting at entering the already tight mobile operating system market with their Boot to Gecko project, which was proposed today.
Yesterday, Facebook blocked all logins to their Facebook for iPad app that was unofficially released - hidden - inside the recently updated Facebook for iPhone app. We, however, were sure that there would soon be a way to re-enable the “leaked” iPad app as the iOS platform is supported by a very strong jailbreaking community.
With Apple's attention very much turned to OS X 10.7 Lion, they could be forgiven for giving Snow Leopard (10.6) the cold shoulder. The latest release of Snow Leopard, which brought the version number up to Mac OS X 10.6.8, has been out for a few weeks now and those not upgraded to Lion have been using it with relatively little issues.
Avatar Kinect, a new application for the Xbox 360, is now available for download on Microsoft's Xbox Marketplace. The new program uses Kinect's extremely accurate motion sensors to let users communicate with each other using their avatars. Ever wished you were a talking cartoon? This is your chance.
While primary attention is still being given to desktop apps, we are slowly and steadily seeing focus shift to powerful web apps thanks to the advancement of web browsers and technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. This is evidenced by OS-level projects like Chrome OS and Joli OS as well as products like Mozilla Prism or the built-in feature on Internet Explorer 9 & Google Chrome which allows users to integrate web applications with the desktop.
Today’s release of iOS 4.3.5 was probably the most unexpected release of iOS that we’ve come across with. Its just an incremental update which patches a certificate verification issue, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be jailbroken using the existing version of Redsn0w, and the iPad (1st-gen) is no exception.
Earlier today, Apple released the new iOS 4.3.5 firmware to patch a critical security issue with certificate verification in iOS. It is important to note that there is currently no untethered jailbreak solution available for both iOS 4.3.4 (which was released on 15th July) and the just released iOS 4.3.5. Do NOT update to 4.3.5 or 4.3.4 if you want to keep your untethered jailbreak.
If you've been paying attention to the news today, you're probably aware of the unexpected release of iOS 4.3.5, an update that allegedly fixes a security issue with certificate validation. If you've backed up a blob from an older version, fear not, you can downgrade very easily.
Jailbreak 4.3.5 with Redsn0w: Apple has unexpectedly pushed out an incremental update for iOS 4.3.x, and it is dubbed as iOS 4.3.5. This minor release is no more than a security update, aiming to patch issues with certificate verification. The good news is that we have tested it and can confirm that the current version of Redsn0w can jailbreak the just released iOS 4.3.5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G.
