Facebook Messenger, developed by Crisp App, is a recent inclusion in the App Store which helps you make Voice over IP (VoIP) calls to your Facebook friends even if they are on browser. The app is built over Facebook's API to connect to the Facebook servers, however, the VoIP feature has been developed by Crisp App Limited. Compatible with your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, Facebook Messenger requires you to have a minimum of iOS 3.1.2.
We have already covered numerous reports in the past regarding front-facing camera for FaceTime calls on the yet to be announced next-gen iPad 2. And now, citing their friends with iPad 2 screen protector inventory as source, 9to5Mac claims to have got images of the screen protector which seems to have been designed for the iPad 2.
We informed you yesterday how Apple's iBooks app refused to open digital books loaded with DRM if the device was jailbroken. Comex discovered that the app was checking if the operating system allowed it to execute an unsigned binary, and if it did, the book wouldn't open. Now both PwnageTool 4.2 and Sn0wbreeze 2.2 have been updated to include a fix, but what if you're already jailbroken using Redsn0w 0.9.6, 0.9.7 or GreenPois0n? Now thanks to a simple fix available on Cydia, you can now easily fix iBooks from the device itself.
It appears some people have been experiencing issues when trying to run Apple's iBooks app on jailbroken devices, specifically the ones done via recently released GreenPois0n. Today though, iOS hacking king Comex tweeted that he has discovered the reason for the crash, and can now start to implement a fix.
Free access to The Daily for iPad has been extended to February 28th, beyond its original two-week trial period which expires today. Could this mean that Apple will release iOS 4.3 on 28th of this month?
We have just been tipped by one of our readers about UK carrier Three blocking Cydia servers on their 3G network.
Things just got real folks! At their big event today, HP finally announced its swanky new tablet to the world, and it's a beauty!
Called the HP TouchPad, the tablet is the result of Palm being absorbed into the world of HP with webOS beating at the heart of the device. With more sliding and swiping than you can throw a stick at, this new version of Palm's webOS brings the software up to version 3.0 and it's never looked so good.
We've told you all about adding animated boot logos to your iOS device before, and the app that makes all the magic happen is now available on Cydia.
We love FaceTime, and we love Jailbreaking. With that in mind, it's no surprise this post by Italian blog iPadevice caught our eye. What the post explains is how a reader (DjBeppee) has managed to get FaceTime running on a jailbroken iPad running the latest beta of iOS 4.3.
I've said before now that we are firmly into 'silly season'. With both iPhone and iPad updates expected to be announced in the coming months, this is the time we start to get all those juicy rumors about specifications, prices and possible release dates.
