The biteSMS team has pushed out a compatibility update for JailbreakMe 3.0.
Just over a week ago, we discovered that Cydia's popular text messaging tweak, biteSMS, was conflicting with Comex's latest jailbreak, JailbreakMe 3.0.
BiteSMS' quick reply functionality would send users device's into an infinite boot loop. This was quickly confirmed with multiple sources, predominantly the biteSMS support forum, JailbreakQA, and of course our readers here at iDB.
It's crazy to me that the iPad 2 just launched 6 months ago, and already there seems to be a slew of iPad 3 rumors flying about. Personally, I can't picture Apple launching another tablet this year, but we've been hearing all kinds of gossip that suggests otherwise.
The word on the street is that Apple is looking to release a 3rd iPad this fall. The device is expected to have double the screen resolution of the iPad 2, and will be geared toward the "Pro" crowd in need of a sharper display...
We all remember the infamous "Apple's tracking my movements and is going to follow me around town with a camera" fiasco, don't we?
Assuming you've not been living under a rock for the last few months - and Apple's GPS data tells me you haven't - then you'll remember that Apple's iOS devices were accused of keeping tabs on users' locations and storing the information in an unencrypted file on said users' computers.
Well, as it turns out, one South Korean iPhone user has forced Apple to cough up a spot of compensation, though we aren't exactly talking mega-bucks...
Jailbreaking your iDevice has many benefits. One benefit is the ability to customize and make it your own by changing your lockscreen.
Jailbreak tweaks, such as Winterboard and Dreamboard, break free from these restrictions, and as such, these avenues of customization have spawned an underground community dedicated to providing beautiful, awe-inspiring themes and modifications for your iDevice.
One such example is Cardboard Cutout HD, created by tadad1. As the title of the theme suggests, the lockscreen is given a beautiful cardboard appearance...
When Apple first announced the iPad way back before we knew the joys that a 9.7" slab of glass could bring, we all immediately thought that the tablet would be a great coffee table device - perfect for leaving out and offering as a family machine.
The problem with that notion, though, is that the iPad is more of a personal device than Apple likes to let on.
Just like our iPhones, the iPad is designed to be used the way one member of the family likes it - their wallpaper, their settings, their apps. This approach really limits the way we can use our iPads, and plays right into Apple's hands when it comes to sales - two and three iPads sold per household instead of just one.
If only we had iOS user accounts, just as we do on our Macs...
Do you have a rather large pinch of salt handy, perchance? You do? Then let us begin.
According to Chinese-language site Sohu.com, the lack of a new iPhone this year could be down to a manufacturing problem with the handset's fancy new A5 processor.
The problem, according to 9to5Mac, is that Apple's oh-so-clever iPhone engineers are having issues with the A5 CPU getting a tad warm, what with the iPhone being so small and space being at a premium...
The App Store underwent some price changes for international customers yesterday. These slight changes are meant to reflect exchange rates accurately and balance out with the US dollar.
While many different countries saw price changes in the App Store, the US pricing structure has remained intact. Apple's main goal with these price changes is to accurately address the problem of inflated prices for international customers...
Apple has announced Volume Purchasing for Business in the App Store. The new Volume Purchasing program will allow businesses and educational institutions to buy apps from the App Store in bulk and easily distribute them to employees.
This is great news for large corporations that need a more streamlined way to distribute their B2B (business-to-business) apps in the workplace. Apple is clearly making itself more compatible with the corporate world...
Apple is looking to block sales of HTC smartphones in the US. Like the ongoing copycat lawsuit with Samsung, Apple claims that HTC infringes on several of its iPhone patents.
HTC has seen impressive growth in the last year, and the company is responsible for many of the most popular Android devices on the market right now. Apple feels that HTC owes a little respect (and by "respect" we mean money) for the allegedly infringed patents...
If you haven't heard of JailbreakMe by now, you may be living under a rock. One thing you're definitely not doing is flying in a plane, because a video has surfaced that shows an iPhone 4 being jailbroken with JailbreakMe.com from 20,000 up in the air.
The cool thing about JailbreakMe is that it allows you to jailbreak an iDevice in Safari on the device itself. All you need is an internet connection and a few seconds to let Cydia install. And thanks to the availability of internet access on most commercial airlines, we bring you JailbreakMe on a plane...
Here is a case that our pot-smoking readers might enjoy. It's called the iHit, and it started as a KickStarter project but it got quickly suspended by KickStarter due to the intended use of the product. The guys behind it are now looking for funding on their own.
Even though the video below can be a bit misleading, we all know what the purpose of the iHit is. Store some weed and your one-hitter in there for easy access, anywhere, anytime...
Spotify, the popular music streaming service, has finally hit the US. We reported last week of its imminent launch, and now the wait is over, but, unfortunately, there is a catch. If you had signed up last week, you are going to receive an invite to join Spotify. If you haven’t, the only way for you to start using their service right away is to subscribe to one of their paid plans.
They are not expensive, starting at $4.99 for the Unlimited package, which lets you stream unlimited music, and $9.99 for the Premium package, which allows you to stream to your mobile and offers an offline mode as well. Refer to this page for more accurate info...
