iPhoDroid for Windows Now Available

We've talked about iPhoDroid before, a port that allows you to install Android on your iPhone 2G or 3G. Up until now, iPhoDroid was only available for Mac. Sergio McFly, the developer of iPhoDroid finally got time to bring support for Windows.

This is For Those Who Are Scared to Jailbreak Their iPhone

After weeks of self debate and bugging Sebastien about the possibilities of jailbreaking my iPhone 4, I took the leap of faith Wednesday night and cracked opened my device. I must say that the whole process was unbelievably painless and took no more than 5 minutes to perform the hack and update the Cydia packages.

I used JailbreakMe to perform the procedure and I will vouch for the website any day. After 2 or 3 minutes of loading, the device was jailbroken and ready to be used. Perhaps it was the Apple aroma in the air after their event, but nevertheless having jailbroken my iPhone 4 makes it feel like launch day all over again...

Screenshots of iOS 4.1 Show HDR Photography & HD Uploading Abilities

The release of iOS 4.1 will come next week sometime but Gizmodo has gotten ahold of some screenshots that show off the new operating system's fanciest feature. As Steve Jobs announced today the new OS will enable high dynamic range photography, otherwise known as HDR.

For those who are unaware of the premise behind HDR, the feature takes multiple images to create a more colorful splash and sensation for the final product. Whether your a highly tuned photographer or just like snapping shots with your iPhone you'll be able to experience the benefits of having such an ability within your native camera app...

iTunes 10 Download Now Available

iTunes 10 is finally available for download. As we reported this morning, not only iTunes 10 comes with a new logo, but it also brings a bunch of exciting new features, like Ping, a music social network.

As always when there is a new update, you should hold on to it if you are on an unlocked or jailbroken iPhone, at least until the Dev Team gives us the go.

Is the iPod Touch For People Who Don’t Want an iPhone?

Apple's event today wasn't filled with too many surprises. The iPod Touch was beefed up in features that included many of the predicted and leaked abilities that were floating around. Mimicking nearly all of the features of the iPhone 4 makes me wonder now more than ever if the Touch is specifically designed for those who don't want an iPhone.

Adding FaceTime and Retina Display to the Touch gives it both of the best features from the iPhone 4. The speedy A4 chip will make the two devices close to equal in processing time, something that the iPhone previously ousted the Touch in considerably. So what's the difference?

iPad to Get iOS 4.2 in November

I hope you're not holding your breath on multitasking and folders for iPad because according to Steve Jobs, it won't be available until November of this year.

When Apple introduced iOS 4, they made it clear that it wouldn't be available for iPad until "this fall", so technically we're on schedule. Still, I would have expected something sooner than that.

During a live event today, Steve Jobs made a demo of iOS 4.2 for iPad. It looks good but nothing groundbreaking.

Among the new features expected in iOS 4.2, we have:

Multitasking Folders Printing - on a wireless network AirPlay - streams content to the new Apple TV Game Center Better email - unified inbox, threaded emails And more...

Underwhelming?

New Jailbreak Application Removes Selected Apps from the App Switcher

Are you confused by the title of this post? Yeah, me too, but I couldn't figure out how to clearly say what I wanted it to say. Anyways, now that I've got your attention, I want to talk to you about a new jailbreak app called Remove Background.

You might remember the Remove Background SBSettings Toggle we showed you a couple weeks ago. The Remove Background app works hand in hand with it.
