Just yesterday we told you that the Dev-Team have already Jailbroken the new iPad right on the release date. But no release dates on iPad 3 JailBreak have been given yet. Though, here is another big news for all of you waiting for an untethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1
Just today the hacker i0n1c uploaded a video of an untethered jailbreak on iPad 3 running iOS 5.1. In the video he shows Cydia running without any hiccup and the Cydia App shows the device information as iPad 3 and mobile operating system as iOS 5.1. To prove that it is an untethered jailbreak, he also rebooted the device twice. He also showed the Real Racing 2 HD game running in full glory. We guess he used the app to show that the AppSync is working fine on the iPad 3. [click to continue…]

With the Apple fanboys gearing up to queue up in front of Apple Stores on March 16 to grab the ” the new iPad“, serious buyers have something different to rejoice. With Apple deciding to continue selling the iPad 2 alongside “the new iPad”, it has reduced prices across all variants.
Even after the launch of ‘the new iPad” , iPad 2 is still a very capable tablet. It runs all business apps with ease and is perfect for Mails and web-browsing. Even for the entertainment junkies, iPad 2 has enough power under its hood to play the latest games and graphic-intensive apps as well. So you wont get the Retina Display and the 5 MPÂ i-sight camera, but honestly not many tablet user need these features. Even LTE connectivity is not available in all markets. Considering the above points iPad 2 makes quite a strong case for itself. And the recent price-reduction just makes the deal sweeter by a few grands. [click to continue…]

With iPad 3 nearing its debut the rumor mill is running on full throttle. With just a day left to make speculations before  they are all put to rest by Apple, The Verge says it has some new info regarding specs and configurations.
As per the reports iPad 3 will be sporting 1 Gigabytes of RAM which is pretty much a reality given the higher number of pixels the device has to handle on the Retina Display. There have been rumors flying that the iPad 3 would be LTE capable, and that it will definitely be announced for both the Verizon and AT&T networks. To be clear, that would mean two distinct, separate versions of the LTE tablet (one for each network). In addition, there’s a third international model which does double duty on 3G; a CDMA / GSM model using a similar radio chipset to the iPhone 4S (a Qualcomm Gobi chip). [click to continue…]

Apple recently made clear its intention to bring AirPlay mirroring to the Mac with the launch of Mountain Lion. But third party apps like Airparrot, brought the same functionality to Snow Leopard. The same developers have now released Reflection app which lets users of iPad 2 and iPhone 4S have their iDevices display on Mac’s display over Airplay.
The App is not complete but provides good functionality for a daily use. Once the app is installed users can select Mac from Airplay on iPad 2/iPhone 4S and Voila! the iDevice screen appears on the Mac in real-time. The display is encased in an iPhone/iPad frame and runs around 30 fps with quite a high-res of 1929-by-1080. Reflection supports Full Mirroring which means it mirrors both audio and video signals complete with orientation  lock. The Device can be set in portrait or landscape though. [click to continue…]

Ever since the launch of Siri and other voice-assistant apps each one of us has been stuck on the idea of our iPhones speaking to us. Before Siri came into existence, Â there have been various Cydia tweaks and apps which called out the Caller-ids or Message Senders name etc. SpeakEvents, recently released tweak by author K3A who does a pretty neat job of satisfying our hunger for iPhone-talking (pun intended).
The tweak once installed gets deep into the notification system on your iOS 5 devices. It can then read out all your notifications like Mail, Messages, Reminders etc. This takes away the need to manually check who the sender of the mail is or the subject. The tweak is highly customisable and this can be done right from your phone’s Settings.app. [click to continue…]

The most desired feature of the iPhone 4S is the voice-assistant Siri. The artificial personal assistant lets you save save calendar updates and reminders  along with other functions like making calls, sending messages and even play music. There have been numerous options available to port Siri on older generation iPhones and iPads like Siriport, Spire etc. The hack requires one to have a jailbroken device and also the use of proxy servers had its own safety issues. So finally when True Knowledge launched Evi on AppStore last month, it proved to be a worthy alternative to Siri. Maybe too worthy? [click to continue…]

The trademark between Apple and Proview has been heating up lately, according to a report from Appleinsider. The almost bankrupt monitor maker Proview got a severe blow when Shanghai Pudong New Areas People’s Court rejected the preliminary injunction against iPad sales in China. This is great news for Apple because it can sell iPads at its flagship store in Shanghai without any skepticism.
Proview, a Taiwanese computer monitor maker claims to own the name I-Pad n China, the same name Apple uses for its tablet computer. It has filed a $2 billion lawsuit against the Apple, the worlds most technology valuable firm. Proview being a bankrupt company cannot file any lawsuit without the permission of its creditors, who are maintaining silence for their own vested interest. They are seeing the Ipad trademark as the only asset which might help them recover their money. Li Shu, Proview’s lawyer has said that the creditors would be prepared to withdraw all their lawsuits if Apple makes a settlement for $400 million. [click to continue…]
