Wow! that was quick! MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has just posted a tweet which confirms that iPad has been jailbroken in less than 24 hours of release. This according to him has been achieved through a cross-team effort with Chronic Dev Team, comex and chpwn.
Deep down inside iPad’s file system, some amazing references have been found related to the upcoming iPod touch, iPhone and the iPad. So are we seeing something exciting coming up from Apple in the near future? Well only time will tell, for now, check out this screenshot below.
We’re quite sure everyone knows by now that there are going to be two models of the iPad, one is the WiFi model and the other which sports 3G. The WiFi model was made available to public today, and the 3G model which will ship in late April was spotted this morning in one of the Apple Stores at San Jose Valley Fair.
Apple has just released the iPhone SDK 3.2 on the iPhone Dev Center for developers, interested in developing for iPhone, iPod touch and the newly released iPad. iPhone SDK 3.2 includes the Xcode IDE, iPhone Simulator, and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
If you’re wondering about the box contents which are included, along with the standard iPad packaging, you’ve come to the right place. We have compiled a couple of unboxing videos in one place so you get an idea what you’ll get in with your iPad come this Saturday.
First of iPad reviews are now popping up on the Internet. From Wall Street Journal, to USA Today, to PC World, to New York Times, all have great things to say about the product. One thing however most of them have agreed upon is the fact that it is not really a notebook/netbook replacement, but rather a great companion which could do tasks like email, web browsing, music, videos, book reading and so on with great ease.
We saw a video a few days back in which Geohot performed an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 3.1.3. This will most probably also work on the iPhone 3.2 firmware for iPad. In the meanwhile, another iPhone hacker by the name of comex released another video, which showed off untethered userland (browser based) jailbreak for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. This new userland jailbreak of iPhone 3.1.3 by comex has now been given a name – say hello to “Spirit”, an untethered userland jailbreak for iPhone.
Apple has upgraded the official App Store page on the most famous social networking site Facebook, which now enables users to directly browse, and purchase apps on it. This update has arrived just in time for the first batch of iPads, which are scheduled to be delivered by this weekend.
As we have already informed you earlier today that Apple has released the final version of iPhone 3.2 SDK, including iPhone OS 3.2 (or iPad 3.2) for iPad to developers. This version of OS is compatible to work with iPad only. You can get your hands on the SDK now and start exploring the amazing things that you can do with it before the actual device, which ships on April 3rd.
Geohot showed us a video demo of untethered jailbreak for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad during the same time period when the iPhone’s SMS database was hacked by two amazing geniuses at Pwn2Own hacking contest. The hack really spread hope in masses that we can use the same technique back from iPhone OS 1.x days to jailbreak our iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.
