iOS 4.3.3 has been released today by Apple for iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch 4G/3G to fix the much talked about location tracking bug found on devices running iOS 4.x.
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.
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.
Ahh, those crazy hackers. They like nothing more than a bit of competition mixed in with their late nights and Mountain Dew. It appears some new-old competition just joined the race to dump the iPad 2's bootrom.
Back in the early days of jailbreaking, there was a young Cydia competitor going by the name of Icy. Working in a similar way to Cydia, Icy was always the faster, smoother and generally shinier app aggregator and download service. Unfortunately development on the app was ceased but now it's on its way back, and you can download a beta version right now.
This story that just won't go away has once again jumped into the headlines with Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs telling All Things Digital's Ina Fried that Apple isn't collecting location data in the way most of the media has claimed over the last week.
While there's no real reason to want to run an iPad app on your iPhone or iPod touch, few will argue that this is just plain old cool. One clever little coder has written an app called iTelePad2Pod that will make the magic happen. Obviously a jailbroken device is a necessity here, but you already did that didn't you?
We told you a couple of days ago about a handy little app that allows users to download iOS firmware files direct from the web, as well as listing what apps are required in order to jailbreak and unlock each one. The only issue was ipswDownloader was OS X only. Thanks to one individual, that's no-longer the case.
This whole sordid affair started when I was (un)fortunate enough to spy a blog post at TheAtlantic by Alexis Madrigal, the site's Senior Editor. In his lengthy post Alexis (you don't mind if I call you Alexis do you?) waxed lyrical about the impending apocalypse thanks to a piece of software called Lantern. This OS X application allows a user - obviously malicious - to gain access to an iOS device and browse all the data it's been collecting on its unwitting user. Such scary information includes the photos you've taken, where they were taken (thanks to the location information stored inside it. Yes, that's the information you told it to save when you first opened the Camera app) and your SMS history. Your Safari browsing history is also available.
