Sébastien Page ∙ June 30, 2011

We know JailbreakMe is right around the corner. Comex keeps dropping hints at an imminent release but unfortunately there always seems to be bumps in the road. This time though, it appears that Comex is almost done ironing out the kinks of JailbreakMe.

In a tweet sent a few hours ago, Comex said he's running out of bugs to fix, which seems like an indication that we might finally see an iPad 2 jailbreak sooner than later...

Upcoming Jailbreak App Allows You to Run Multiple iPhone Apps on Your iPad’s Screen Simultaneously

Jeff Benjamin ∙ June 30, 2011

Don't you just hate running iPhone-only apps on your large iPad screen? When you enlarge them they look all pixelated and ugly, but when you keep them at normal size, much of the iPad's screen goes to waste.

Your disdain for iPhone-only apps might soon change if this jailbreak app in development ever sees the light of day.

We're assuming the tentative name of the app is Polyonix judging from the screenshot, and it allows you to run multiple iPhone apps on your iPad's screen at the same time...

iPad Changes the Life of a Little Girl with a Sight Disorder

Cody Lee ∙ June 30, 2011

While some folks mock Apple's use of words like "delightful" and "magical" in their commercials, others are firm believers in the empowering abilities of the products. Take Mrs. Bligh for example.

Fiona Bligh's daughter has Albinism. The genetic condition not only affects skin pigment, but also causes eye problems. Holly Bligh has been struggling in school for years with her poor eyesight and inability to fit in. Then one day, Holly's mom decided to get her daughter an iPad...

iOS might be the mobile platform to beat when it comes to gaming, but you'd be hard pressed to find me something as unique as SpringBoard Invaders on the platform.

As its name implies, SpringBoard Invaders brings a Space Invaders inspired arcade game right to your iPhone's SpringBoard.

Guest Author ∙ June 30, 2011

DreamBoard, the popular iPhone theme solution, has gone free on Cydia after previously selling for $2.99. Dreamboard is a popular Winterboard alternative that can mimic the looks of Android, Windows 7 etc.

Google+ Gets a Web App While Waiting for a Native App

Cody Lee ∙ June 30, 2011

In case you've been under a rock for the last week, Google just formally announced its next major product. The king of search engines and pop email services is now hoping to conquer the social networking space.

Google+ launched on Tuesday to a small group of beta testers, and since then has been a popular tech topic. The service looks remarkably like its Facebook competitor with features like 'Streams' and the ability to 'Check In' to local businesses.

As an avid iDevice user, the first thing I wanted to know was what kind of access I'd have to the service from my iPhone and iPad...

Beautiful iPhone 5 Concept Design

Cody Lee ∙ June 29, 2011

It seems like everyone and their dog has their own opinion of what Apple's next smartphone will look like. While most people believe that the next iPhone will look relatively similar to its predecessor, others feel a more radical change is on the way.

Then you have the folks that think that both will show up this fall. So which is it? If rumors have confirmed one thing, it's that we really don't know what Apple is planning for the next iPhone. But here's hoping it looks something like this...

Guest Author ∙ Updated March 12, 2018

Update: As Saurik confirmed in the comments section, this is not an update and jailbreakers should stay away from Cydia 1.1.2.

Earlier today, Cydia 1.1.2 went live. We haven't noticed anything major in terms of improvements, however, the only ones we've seen so far are some slight enhancements with search functions, and an overall slight improvement in performance, as well as a few bug fixes.

There's no changelog present in this release either, so it's only a small update...
