There's been no shortage of iPad 3 chatter over the last few weeks. We've heard Apple's upcoming tablet could feature anything from a 7-inch display to 20-hour battery life, and seemingly everything in between.
The latest report, however, is particularly interesting. It claims that the next-generation iPad will sport an advanced, high-resolution IGZO display (indium gallium zinc oxide).
Hot on the heels of the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1, the FireCore team was quick at updating their Seas0nPass jailbreak for the Apple TV 2G on iOS 4.4.4.
Taking advantage of pod2g's work that's also been used in RedSn0w, Corona, and PwnageTool, FireCore released the latest version of Seas0nPass that finally brings an untethered jailbreak to the latest Apple TV OS...

This is a promotional video for Hyundai, who's having random people play their Hyundai Veloster game for iPhone on a giant screen in New York City's Times Square. That sure looks fun, doesn't it?
It's fair to say that Apple's iPhone has turned a few heads since its original release in 2007. The first iPhone was obviously a game changer, bringing glass-fronted, multitouch phones to the masses. The iPhone 4 was, and still is, one of the best-looking phones around.
Now check out the iPhone's grandfather above. See the resemblance?
The aforementioned image shows an Apple telephone that was in the works all the way back in 1983. The story goes that Hartmut Esslinger was responsible for the design of the telephone, and he knew what he was doing — he also came up with the design for the Apple II...
Yes, you read that correctly. Siri for Android has apparently hit the Android Marketplace. A developer by the name of "Official App" has published a supposed Android version of Siri.
Apple introduced Siri alongside the iPhone 4S, and the virtual assistant has been the most talked-about feature of the new smartphone since. Does Android's version of Siri have what it takes to steal the limelight?
The location-based aspect of the Reminders app is convenient but limited. As of now, all you can really do is setup reminders based on your current location or the contents of your Contacts app.
With MapReminders, you can peruse an entire map to setup reminders for certain locations easily. Check out our video walkthrough of this upcoming jailbreak tweak...
If you're the kind of person that likes to keep an eye on the weather forecast without having to load the Weather app or look out of a window, then you are going to love this!
Unfortunately, Apple does not allow the Notification Center weather widget to show up in the iOS lock screen, but there are plenty of jailbreak tweaks and apps that will do just that. What if you don't want to jailbreak, though? Now there is a solution, and it's made its way through Apple's App Store, too.
Unimaginatively named "Lock Screen Weather App," this app will do just what many have been crying out for – display weather information on an iPhone's lock screen without the need to jailbreak anything...
The iPhone 4S was met with much criticism when Apple debuted the handset back in October. Some publications have even listed the device as one of 2011's biggest flops, but sales have suggested otherwise.
In fact, according to popular marketing research firm comScore, the 4S has been so popular that it's managed to push Apple's US smartphone marketshare up more than 1% percent in the short time it's been available...
One of the most popular negatives that people like to throw at the iPad is its single-user experience. There is basically no ability for a family to easily use an iPad. No user accounts, and thus no account switching.
Perhaps Apple planned for each member of a family to own their own iPad, but as we all know, that just isn't feasible with a $500 tablet, especially in these poor economic times.
The latest patent application to find its way out of the people at PatentlyApple shows that Apple is well aware of the way people want to use their iPads, and that we want to be able to hand the device to another person and have them be able to use it as their own. No sharing apps, no logging in and out of things constantly. This being Apple, they want to do it a little differently.
We knew the iPad was making its way into governments around the world, but we had no idea to what extent. The Telegraph is reporting that the British Prime Minister is having a customized iPad app built for government use.
No, Apple's tablet isn't going to help David Cameron run his country. But it is going to enable him to stay on top of news and other important information. Think Flipboard, but with a lot more classified information...
We've conducted extensive tests here at iDB, and we have come to the cat-egorical (see what we did there?) conclusion that there is nothing more awesome on this planet than cats. Ceiling cat, keyboard cat, the list goes on.
Now we can add Fruit Ninja cat to the growing list of fantastic felines, after a video surfaced of one such feline showing that fruit just who the boss really is.
Just watch this video, we dare, nay double-dare you to not raise a smile. Perhaps even giggle a tad...
At iDB, we don't just pass along the Apple rumors; we also try to follow them on their road to either truth or debunking. And in the case of the recent Digitimes' iPad 3 report, that journey took less than 24 hours.
Yesterday we told you about Digitimes' latest claim that Apple would unveil two new iPad models at the Macworld (now iWorld) conference in January. But today, Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has effectively put that rumor to bed.
