The iPhone Dev Team released Redsn0w 0.9.6rc15 to support untether jailbreak for all devices (except iPad 2) on iOS 4.3.3 firmware.
While Apple's iPhone 4 is now slouch in the speed stakes, we could all use a little speed boost now and again. With today's iOS apps and games becoming increasingly power-hungry, squeezing every last clock cycle out of our hardware is a must, and if you jailbreak it's entirely do-able too.
Ah, the humble white iPhone. When Apple first announced it way back in 2010 nobody could foresee the headline making chaos that would ensue and certainly nobody could have predicted we'd still be debating the handset all these months later. Even more amazing is what we're all getting so hot under the collar about - is the white iPhone thicker than the black one? Well, kinda, yeah.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Still holding out hope that Apple is keeping the iPhone 5 under raps with an eye on releasing it in the usual June/July timeframe? If that's the case then we're afraid one AT&T customer services rep. might just have ruined your day after they claimed Apple has told them there will be no new iPhone. Yet.
The just released iOS 4.3.3 firmware update for iPhone 4 has been successfully jailbroken using custom PwnageTool bundles. The jailbreak though is tethered only for now, which means that you will have to boot it into jailbroken state every time you reboot.
After the runaway success of Samsung's Galaxy S Android phone, it was always on the cards that the company would bring a successor to market. Now the imaginatively named Galaxy S II is on the scene - and if pre-orders are anything to go by, it's going to outsell Apple's iPhone 4. In Korea at least.
One thing we never tire of at Redmond Pie is hacks that use Microsoft's Kinect in new and interesting ways. If an iPhone is involved then you get double points, and that's exactly what Singaporean developer Rockmoon did.
We're sure everyone remembers the Microsoft Courier, the much-anticipated though ultimately cancelled dual-screen tablet. The idea was an intriguing one - two screens and an operating system that utilized both pen and gesture inputs. It was funky, but Microsoft said they could never put it into production and a little bit of every geek on the planet died along with it. If only our iPads could recreate some of that magic.
While Cydia has been the App Store of choice for iOS jailbreakers for, well ever few will argue that mire competition is needed in the arena. Competition is just what Lima promises to offer, and it has its own twist - it's browser-based.
