iH8sn0w has pushed another update to his Sn0wBreeze jailbreak solution for Windows. As the only current jailbreak tool for iOS 4.3, Sn0wBreeze 2.3 offers a tethered jailbreak for those unlucky enough to update their firmware to 4.3.
Sn0wBreeze 2.3b2 adds several improvements from the first beta, but nothing too significant. Sn0wBreeze 2.3 is still in beta, and iH8sn0w and team are working hard to create an untethered solution for the popular Windows jailbreak tool...
If you don't pony up the cash for a 3G-enabled iPad 2, you won't get the GPS capabilities of a carrier network connection. That means that, unless you are connected to a Wifi access point, the maps functionality of the iPad will not be able to track your location or give you live directions, etc.
The internal GPS is definitely one of the biggest pros for the 3G models of the iPad. With an internal GPS, the iPad can be a great navigation tool for your car's dashboard. So, what can you do to get GPS on the iPad 2 without a 3G connection?
A new report claims that you can use the iPhone's data connection through tethering to enable GPS functionality on the iPad...
Some new cases have surfaced on Alibaba that claim to be designed for Apple's unreleased and unannounced iPhone 5. These iPhone 5 case listings, alongside similar designs from Hard Mac, point to an iPhone 5 design that is very similar to the iPhone 4's.
If these cases are legitimate, the iPhone 5 will not be as significant of a redesign as speculation assumed. However, it is also noted that these cases lend credence to a slightly larger screen...
In a recent post about the next version of Cydia, we got some great feedback from users about what features they'd like to see in Cydia 1.1.
The creator of Cydia, Jay "saurik" Freeman posted a long and informative response to our article that gave some insight into the current and future state of Cydia. He chose many questions posed in the article's comments to address key issues.
We're very grateful that saurik decided to share this information with us. He addresses several key topics concerning Cydia...
Daylight Savings Time has stuck again! A bug that reportedly caused the iPhone's internal clock to not adjust properly to Daylight Savings Time has resurfaced with the recent time change.
Two days ago, we told you about a glitch with the iPhone's clock not changing to the correct time for the DST "spring forward" of one hour. At the time of the report, no one was really sure to what extent this clock glitch was affecting users.
Complaints seemed to not be as wide spread as the last time there was a DST issue, but many people were (and still are) experiencing problems with their alarm not going off at the right time...
There's a plethora of location-based apps to choose from in the App Store. Check-in services like Foursquare and Gowalla are popular, and there are some pretty niffty location-based search apps like Siri Assistant and Where.
Localscope, by Cynapse, is a search/navigation app that encompasses the features of most location-based tools in the App Store. By using the backend of services like Google and Twitter, Localscope allows for a more full and encompassing experience of searching for locations around you...
The anticipated jailbreak tweak to rule them all, Springtomize, has gone live in Cydia and is now available for purchase. We showed you a detailed preview of this awesome tweak several days ago, and now you can install Springtomize and play with it yourself.
Most jailbreak tweaks focus on one specific aspect of iOS (whether it be the status bar, dock, icons, etc.). Springtomize aims at being the one-stop shop for your tweaking needs. As far as customization is concerned, Springtomize may very well be the king of jailbreak tweaks.
Ryan Petrich, developer of jailbreak apps like SwitcherMod and Action Menu, is helping work on the next major version of Cydia with saurik and team. Cydia 1.1 is slated to bring significant updates, and will most likely focus heavily on graphics.
While we're not sure when Cydia 1.1 will be ready, it seems to be coming along nicely on the development side of things...
Could it finally be true? Could the mythical white iPhone 4 really be on the distant horizon for consumers?
According to Apple's VP of Marketing, Phil Schiller, the white iPhone 4 will be available for purchase "this spring." This statement corroborates an earlier comment from Apple's co-founder, Steve Wozniak. Woz also said that the white iPhone would be available for purchase in the near future...
The iPhone's internal clock has been notorious for having glitches with Daylight Savings Time. This morning (2 A.M.) marked the Daylight Savings Time "spring forward" of one hour, and there have been numerous reports of the iPhone's clock falling back an hour instead of falling forward.
Complaints starting streaming in via Twitter this morning from users who were not woken up properly by their iPhone's alarm. While complaints vary, the general consensus seems to be that the iPhone's clock fell back an hour at midnight instead of falling forward...
The iPhone 4's stunning retina display is perfect for a pretty wallpaper. Designers aren't necessarily cranking out beautiful wallpapers for the iPhone, and truly superb iOS wallpapers can be hard to come by.
If you don't know where to look, you may miss many of the best wallpapers available for the iPhone. Luckily, the folks at Beautiful Pixels have collected some awesome iPhone wallpapers for you to use on your home screen...
It's no secret that Apple's system for notifications in iOS sucks. Many other mobile operating systems, like Google's Android, use a more unobtrusive method for delivering new notifications.
Apple is definitely working on making the notification system in iOS better, but until then, we can only gawk at interesting concepts of what a complete iOS notification redesign would like like. The latest and greatest concept uses the iPad 2's new Smart Cover...
