The Next iPhone Could be Waterproof

A week ago we told you about a company named Liquipel. As the name suggests, the company's work involves an invisible, liquid-repelling coating that can make your iPhone and other gadgets completely waterproof.

The Benefits of Jailbreaking the Apple TV

Apple has always stated that the Apple TV is more of a "hobby" device than a mainstream one, as its popularity level isn't even on the radar compared to hits like the iPhone, iPad or even iPod touch.

Still, there are many, many benefits to owning an Apple TV. There's iTunes movies and TV shows, Netflix streaming, access to NBA and NHL games, and iTunes match among other features.

But if you really want to reap the full rewards of owning Apple's marvelous $99 wonder box, you need to jailbreak it.

This concept video shows an iPhone 5 sporting not one, but two home buttons, right on the sides of the screen. I fail to see how practical this would be, especially when holding your iPhone in just one hand.

While we still don't have an exact release date, pod2g did give us something to wet our appetites. The hacker has just posted a video to his blog of an untethered jailbreak running on Apple's latest handset...

Corona Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 Updated to Fix iBooks

The release of the Corona untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 hasn't come with its fair share of problems, which led the Chronic Dev Team to update the tool a couple weeks ago to fix the Launchctl error.

Unfortunately, this update was not enough to fix all the problems inherent to Corona. The main issue that users have been experiencing is with the iBooks app, which would just display an error message at launch. We shared a few workarounds with you to fix this problem, but we knew an official fix was on the way...
