It was noted from the beginning by the skeptics that the iPad was merely a big iPhone which didn't really bring anything new to the table. What with the iPad tablet series coming with 3G technology (if you can afford it), it was surely only a matter of time before the creative minds tried to turn it into quite literally a big iPhone.

With iOS 4.3.4 just released, rendering the also just-released super-simple JailbreakMe useless, some might be wondering how to jailbreak the new release of iOS. Well the iPhone Dev Team has just pushed a small update to Redsn0w to make it compatible with the just released iOS 4.2.4 firmware. This new version of Redsn0w can tether jailbreak most iOS devices on iOS 4.3.4, namely iPhone 4, 3GS, and iPod touch 4G/3G. The only device that's not supported at the moment is the iPad 2. The process should only take a few minutes to get Cydia up and running on your device.

As we've speculated over the last few days, iOS 4.3.4 made its debut on iTunes. The new release, without clear release notes, addresses the PDF exploit in Mobile Safari used by JailbreakMe.
As you're probably aware by now, one of iOS 5's most prominent new features is system-wide integration with Twitter.

Multiple user accounts is a basic feature that's present in all major desktop operating systems, considered essential to maintain the privacy of users, especially when the machines are shared with many of them. As iOS devices, especially iPads, acquire more and more functionality that brings them closer to full-fledged laptops, it would only make sense for those devices to allow different user accounts. Thanks to this jailbreak tweak, known as iUsers, that is now possible.
