New Router Turns Your iPhone Into a Wifi Hotspot [No Jailbreak Required]

by Sebastien on Nov 20, 2010

When I saw this article on Gizmodo titled “Turn Your iPhone Into a WiFi Router Without Jailbreaking”, I had some serious hopes and expectations for what I was going to read. I imagined a device that would basically do what MyWi does to your iPhone, without having to jailbreak.

In a sense, the Nexaira Business Class II 3G/4G Wireless Broadband Router does just that. By plugging your iPhone into the router, you can instantly create a secure wifi hotspot using the 3G connection from your phone, and share this connection with around devices up to 200 feet around you… Read More

 

How to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM with RedSn0w

by Sebastien on Nov 20, 2010

Apple released iOS 4.2.1 GM to developers a couple days ago, and this new build can already be jailbroken using RedSn0w, as confirmed by Redmond Pie.

Even though the jailbreak process of iOS 4.2.1 GM is successful, it won’t take you too far as Cydia doesn’t work properly with iOS 4.2.1 and will crash at launch. If you know your way around the iPhone files, you can however SSH into your iPhone to manually install jailbreak applications.

Installing and jailbreaking iOS 4.2.1 GM is fairly easy, but it’s worth noting you should stay away from it if you rely on an unlock for your iPhone. iOS 4.2.1 GM will update your baseband, and most likely make it impossible for you to unlock for a while.

This being said, here is how to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 GM with RedSn0w… Read More

Instead of having to go to Settings > Brightness, you can simply double press the home button to launch the app switcher, flick to the right to have your iPod controls appear, and your brightness control is there… Read More

 

Tip: How to Quickly Respring your iPhone

by Alex Heath on Nov 19, 2010

Many of us jailbreakers know how frustrating it can be to debug the modifications we make to iOS. When installing an app in Cydia, if the app requires it, Cydia gives you a prompt to restart your springboard.

There are two types of restarts you can have on your iPhone: a hardware restart and a software restart. A hardware restart takes considerably longer, and it is when you see the Apple boot logo (or your own, modded logo). A simple software restart usually does the trick for installing new packages on your iPhone, and it also helps with ironing out the bugs you may be experiencing… Read More

 

App Review: Vacation Mogul

by Michael on Nov 19, 2010

Vacation Mogul by Alawar Entertainment is a time management simulation building game for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. In the beginning of the game you learn that you must save up money to reclaim a house that your disappeared sister used to own, but is in danger of being taken by your uncle’s greedy lawyer. However because you are short on cash, you have to complete missions and save enough money to buy your sister’s house.

Each mission has goals in which you must build hotels, recreational facilities and achieve a certain weekly cash flow to pass the mission. Example of the goals would be like building 2 hotels with a weekly income of $10,000.

Rage HD Lands on the iPhone [and It Looks Amazing]

by Sebastien on Nov 18, 2010

I’m not a gamer at all but I can certainly appreciate a good game when I see one. Rage HD, a first-person shooter from iD Software (the creators of Doom and Quake) is one of those.

Rage HD is an on-rails shooter where the character moves for you while you control his field of view, pointing and shooting at your enemies with an insane range of weapons.

Enough with the talking, let’s have a look at Rage HD in action… Read More

 

Google Docs Comes to the iPhone

by Sebastien on Nov 18, 2010

Google Docs users rejoice as you’re now going to be able to edit all your Google Docs documents, right from your iPhone (or any other mobile device for that matter). Simply pointing your iPhone to http://docs.google.com/ will take you to the mobile version of the site.

I think it’s worth noting that you’re only going to be able to edit documents. You will not be able to create new ones, at least for the time being. Have a look at the video below. It’s actually pretty impressive… Read More
