We just got a bit of clarification from the Chronic Dev Team who confirmed that GreenPois0n will only jailbreak the iPhone 4, iPad, and iPod Touch 4G. The news was later confirmed by MuscleNerd who made it clear that GreenPois0n will only work for iDevices boasting Apple's A4 chip.
As a reminder, GreenPoison is supposed to ship this Sunday. We'll get those guides and tutorials published asap! In the meanwhile, stay tuned for more GreenPois0n news as it becomes available.
After weeks of expectation, we can finally tell you for sure when the GreenPois0n jailbreak for iPhone will be released. According to P0sixninja, the new jailbreak tool will be released on Sunday, October 10 at 10.10 am GMT.
This is some good news for those of you who've been on 4.1 for a while. At this time, there is no indication if GreenPois0n will be the actual name of the tool. There is also no indication whether or not it will be tethered and for what device and iOS version it will work...
Some of you have been waiting for 16 years to see the day when Sega finally releases the sequel of its most successful game: Sonic the Hedgehog. Available in the App Store for $9.99 (*choke cough*), Sonic 4 [iTunes link] picks up right where Sonic and Knuckles left off.
It's as fast as it ever was. The only downside I can see to this so far is the price. Let us know what you think about this new game if you decide to download it.
You knew this was bound to happen sooner rather than later, though you probably didn't expect the first iPhone 4 Film Festival to come from Korea. To commemorate the recent launch of the iPhone 4 in South Korea, local carrier KT decided to create the very first festival that requires all competitors to film and edit their entries exclusively with an iPhone 4.
Twelve shorts by Korean directors were screened yesterday night for the opening day of this month-long event. Apparently not everybody was pleased by the capabilities of the iPhone 4...
The WSJ has a scoop today citing a person "briefed by Apple" who says the company will start manufacturing a new CDMA iPhone by the end of the year that would allow Verizon to sell the device beginning of 2011.
Of course, we've heard that before. Many times. Many, many, many times! So what makes this rumor different this time? Certainly not the source of the rumor, who let me remind you, is a person "briefed by Apple"...
There's a new iPhone 4 commercial airing since yesterday and it's all about the Retina Display. This TV ad shows the "highest resolution screen ever" in action, making everything looks "more beautiful than ever before".
This ad doesn't really differ much from previous iPhone TV ads. It has the same sappy/sweet/emotional tone that make these ads stand out from the other smartphone ads, and really make you want to buy an iPhone or at least be part of the Apple cult...
How do you like this new commercial?
iSuppli's teardown of the new Apple TV reveals that it cost Apple only $64 to make. Now I know why the Apple TV looks and feel so cheap... It's because it is cheap! Am I the only one being disappointed by the quality of the packaging and the remote control?
Here is some good news for jailbreakers and unlockers waiting for the GreenPoison jailbreak, which should now come out anytime soon. According to tweet by GreenPois0n developer P0sixninja, the new jailbreak tool will be able to hacktivate the iPhone.
This is particularly interesting to those of you who don't have an official SIM card to activate the iPhone, which is a necessary step in being able to use the iPhone...
I wonder if this iPad made of Legos is running iOS 4.2 or 3.2.2. Either way, I'm pretty sure it doesn't handle multitasking very well. Very creative. What do you think?

Since we now know that it is possible to jailbreak the Apple TV (and install apps on it), one thing we need to learn sooner rather than later is to put the Apple TV in DFU mode. Putting the Apple TV in DFU mode is not complicated, assuming you know how to press a couple buttons together...
Step 1: Make sure your Apple TV is connected to your computer via a mini USB cable.
Step 2: On the remote, press and hold the Down and Menu button together for a few seconds. Your Apple TV will start blinking. You can now release.
Step 3: Now press and hold the Menu and Play button together for another few seconds.
Step 4: Done! Your Apple TV should now show up in iTunes, from where you'll be able to restore it.
Next step is getting a jailbreak for this Apple TV. I can't wait for that.
