Skype has today pushed out an update for its popular iOS apps, with both the iPad and iPhone versions receiving new versions. The list of additions is a fairly short one, with two being particularly useful to many, and one being more of a pain than a feature.
Well well well, here's a tasty little morsel that we weren't expecting to crop up. If Mashable's Ben Parr is correct, and his sources aren't telling him lies, Facebook is set to launch its much-anticipated iPad app during Apple's yet to be announced special event for the release of iOS 5. This same event is expected to also play host to the iPhone 5 announcement.
OnLive, the fancy way of 'streaming' games to your computer or OnLive's own set-top box, excels at allowing those of us without monster PCs or Mac Pros, to play all the latest titles without needing to splash the cash on expensive upgrades by streaming the video to a client machine, and sending key and mouse commands back in the other direction. It works well, for the most part. The service even has iPad and Android clients, but that's not quite as exciting as you might think.
Social networking giant, Twitter, could have provided yet another clue as to the potential release date of the much awaited fifth release of Apple's iOS software. With speculation reaching fever pitch surrounding the impending arrival of iOS 5, it appears Twitter may have tipped Apple's hat for them, with pair of developer events suggesting a final version of the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch operating system could be in customers' hands before October tenth.
We are getting closer and closer to the release of iOS 5 it seems, as Apple has declared that all iTunes Match data on iCloud will be wiped out on September 26th.
According to a report published today, Samsung Electronics is seeking the ban of Apple’s popular iPhone and iPad products in Netherland.
According to a new press statement released today, Apple will be resetting iCloud backups on September 22nd to gear up for iOS 5 GM. The news comes from a statement published on Apple’s Developer Board which says that all data backed up by beta-testers on iCloud servers will be reset (i.e. deleted) on September 22nd. No reason has been given for why this is being done, but we have reason to believe that this is an indication that we’ll see the Golden Master release of iOS 5 very soon, perhaps as soon as September 23rd.
Redsn0w, the prominent jailbreaking tool developed by veteran of the scene MuscleNerd, has today been updated to version 0.9.9b1 and brings with it some key improvements, rendering it one of the most significant updates to date.
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be in the presence of some of the finest and most influential members of the jailbreaking community. Scores of iOS modding enthusiasts, reporters and developers turned out for the first ever jailbreak convention, now called JailbreakCon (formerly MyGreatFest), of which Redmond Pie was one of the key sponsors.
Folks, this is big, big news. In fact, we’d call it the biggest news of the week: jailbreak hacker p0sixninja of Chronic Dev Team has announced that five userland exploits have been discovered for the iPad 2 and is strongly expected to be used in the next generation iPhone.
