Apple today has released iTunes 9.2 for both Windows and Mac. This release brings support for iPhone 4, iOS 4 (formerly iPhone OS 4) for iPhone and iPod touch, support for organizing iOS 4 folders, faster backups with iOS 4, PDF syncing with iBooks and various other bug fixes.
The response that Apple has got for the new iPhone 4 has far outstretched their supply chain. Apple today has issued a statement in which they have stated that more than 600,000 iPhone 4s have been pre-ordered through Apple and its carrier partners yesterday. According to reps at AT&T, this is ten times as many orders as they took for the iPhone 3GS last year.
At this year’s WWDC 10, Apple not only unveiled iPhone 4, but also released iOS 4 GM candidate (formerly iPhone OS 4) for developers registered on iPhone Developer Standard or Enterprise program. iOS 4 is fully supported on iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen. iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2nd gen will be able to run this version of OS too but without multitasking and background wallpapers (unless you know where to look for it). Both the first-gen iPhone and iPod touch is not supported. An iPad version of iOS 4 is expected to be out by this fall.
Steve, the guy who was behind PushFix 2.0 (the first real fix for Push Notifications) for unlocked iPhones and Blacksn0w RC2 fix for iPhone 3.1.3 has just released Blacksn0w RC2 for iOS 4. This version of blacksn0w is basically a repackaged version of the original unlock released by geohot, and the binaries which were recently released by MSFT Guy for 05.11.07 baseband on iPhone 3GS, running iOS 4.0 GM (formerly iPhone OS 4).
For those of you who couldn't make it to the event, and want to relive the unveiling of iPhone 4 as was seen by WWDC 10 attendees present that day in Moscone Center. Apple has uploaded the entire keynote address on both their official website, and on their YouTube channel so that you don't miss some of the most important announcements by Apple in recent times.
Folks over at iLounge have posted complete video walkthrough of the new iPhone 4 running iOS 4. This has to be the most complete video that I have seen which covers everything from multitasking, iBooks, iMovie, FaceTime video calling to creating folders and more. The only downside is the lack of any audio, which is missing for the most part in the video. So make sure you turn on some music while watching the video.
Yes you read that right ! AppSync for iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4) is now available for all those of you who have managed to jailbreak your iPhones and iPod touches. For those of you who don't know, AppSync patches MobileInstallation file on iOS which is needed in order to install .ipa files manually without using iTunes.
Redsn0w jailbreak tool has been updated to version 0.9.5b5 which brings full support for iPod touch 2G, along with optional support to enable multitasking and wallpapers on iOS 4.0 (formerly iPhone OS 4) on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G which otherwise are disabled by Apple.
iPhone 4 was announced at WWDC 10 by Steve Jobs in front of packed audience at Moscone Center, San Francisco. This release without a doubt is a significant jump in the iPhone line-up since its introduction back in 2007.
The GM (Gold Master) release of iOS 4 for iPhone 3GS, 3G and iPod touch 3G, 2G has made its way on the popular file sharing and torrent sites. Unlike all the previous Betas, this release actually doesn't require registered UDID, and you can restore it on a Windows machine too but it will be pointless as for activation, you will still need iTunes 9.2 Beta which is currently only available for registered developers on Macs.
