iPhone Unlock for iOS 4.1 and 4.2 Coming Soon?

Here is an interesting tweet from MuscleNerd saying that "a very nice unlock" is coming soon. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the Dev Team already has an unlock ready for release but they're just waiting for Apple to ship iOS 4.2, sometimes in the next few days.

I assume this unlock will work for every device and will be compatible with iOS 4.1 and 4.2 basebands...

PwnageTool iPhone Jailbreak for Windows Coming Soon?

According to a tweet from MuscleNerd, iPhone jailbreak developer Chpwn will soon start working on a Windows version of the PwnageTool jailbreak. To date, PwnageTool is a Mac only jailbreak that allows you to update your iPhone to a jailbroken firmware while preserving the baseband so you can unlock your iPhone.

The news about PwnageTool for Windows came from an argument between MuscleNerd and iH8Sn0w on Twitter. I've never been a huge fan of iH8Sn0w and his Sn0wBreeze tool, and it seems that the Dev Team isn't either...

RedSn0w 0.9.6b2 Jailbreak for All Devices Now Available

The Dev Team just released RedSn0w 0.9.6b2, a new version of their famous jailbreak tool for Mac and Windows. What's new in RedSn0w 0.9.6b2? The most interesting news is that RedSn0w will now jailbreak all devices on iOS 4.1: iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, and Apple TV.

Also new is the ability to have custom bootlogos on the iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch 2G. Perhaps the most interesting new feature is the option that implements the DFU button in PwnageTool...

Is Apple Starting to Censor the Word “Gay” in the App Store?

We already knew that the app approval process could be somewhat random. Some apps that shouldn't be approved in the first place manage to show up in the App Store, while others that shouldn't have any problem are rejected, sometimes for false reasons. In the end, Apple is always right: their store, their rules, right?

But what if Apple decided to reject applications simply because they contain the word "gay"? It seems that's what the developer of a gay networking app has discovered while submitting his application for review...
