If you remember, the legendary team released a tool called ‘Absinthe‘ to JailBreak iPhone 4S & iPad 2 on iOS 5.0.1. Due to the fact that this team also included DevTeam member MuscleNerd, they have updated their popular tool – ‘Redsn0w’. Now, Redsn0w has the capability to untether JailBreak your A5 based devices on iOS 5.0.1. It means that you won’t require to use Absinthe anymore if you are looking for a JailBreak.
In addition to it, we have many other features. If you have accidentally uninstalled the untether, it would let you re-install the JailBreak. Redsn0w also fetches saved SHSH Blobs/APTickets from Cydia automatically during the JailBreak. So, you don’t need to manually save them from any other tool such as TinyUmbrella. Moreover, it would now show additional information about your device, that is wether you are on an iPhone 3G with vulnerable baseband boot loader or an old bootrom in iPhone 3GS.
Pod2G seems to have resolved issues with ASLR which he had come across earlier. Today, he tweeted about his progress in bringing iOS 5.1 untethered JailBreak for new devices. Now, Pod2G has taken a step forward to ROP the payload. Hopefully, everything would end up soon and we would have a working iOS 5.1 untethered JailBreak running on all of the devices including the new iPad.
However, there are several exploits among the iOS hackers, but they would most probably use one of them. Also, i0n1c after the criticism on twitter could have decided to back off in the JailBreak scene. He surely has his own perceptions about how people use JailBreak to earn money. Anyways, Pod2G is actively working to make things possible once again. However, there’s no news on ETA of the release. [click to continue…]
If you were following the recent conversation of @i0n1c and @pod2g over twitter, you would realize that they had been fighting over the free JailBreak and the issue of earning money through donations. Anyways, all this began once Pod2G updated us on the recent situation of iOS 5.1 untethered JailBreak for all devices. It means that the new iPad which is based on A5X would get a JailBreak as well.
According to Pod2g, all those exploits which had been earlier found out by various hackers and iOS developers are ready for the new JailBreak. Currently, he is working on bypassing the ASLR at boot up. However, i01nc had previously demonstrated iOS 5.1 JailBreak in a video, but never made it public. Due to which he had to face many criticism on twitter and people even abused him for the same. [click to continue…]
There has always been rumors that Apple could come up with a 7 inch tablet in future. As per the recent report from Kotaku, a chinese portal called NetEase claims that Apple has plans to launch an iPad mini which would cost from $249 to $299. The attempt for a low cost tablet is to rival with the upcoming windows tablet that would appear in the same interval. Also, the site notes that there would be around 6 millions units ready for the initial launch.
For us, it sounds a bit skeptical because even after the launch of iPad 3, Apple has not discontinued its previous generation tablet. Instead, they have reduced its prices so that more people could afford the tablet and experience the post-pc era. However, John Gruber in a blog post earlier said that Apple has an iPad with smaller screen size in their labs. Although he was not sure whether the company has plans to launch it anytime soon or not. [click to continue…]
A year back on April 29, 2011 – Apple released the iPad 2 in India and we saw people lining up outside Apple stores to get one early in the morning. Stocks were in short supply for several months and given the reception the iPad 2 got in India, there is little surprise that Apple has announced the 3rd generation iPad in India.

Few days ago when we got a prompt reply from the official twitter account of Beejive that the application for iPad  is in the works, we were pretty much sure that the update would be released soon. Today, when we were going through the list of apps in the App Store which were due for the update, we came across the BeejiveIM for iPad. Finally, the application is now updated to support Retina display graphics for the new iPad and various bug fixes.
Since the day i have owned an iPhone and started exploring several Instant Messengers, i have been a fan of BeejiveIM application. Although the application is priced at $9.99 and continued to be priced consistently excluding sales on some special occasions, it has been in the top charts of the social networking category of App Store. However, there has always been competitors which compete with the application head to head, the Beejive application has remained one of its kind. [click to continue…]
Even though there’s no tablet available in the market which would let you experience the Windows 8 Metro UI, some developers have come up with a solution to run it on iPad. Yes, this application is fully functional and works flawlessly on the world’s top selling tablet. Don’t worry, this is not a hack or any illegal way. Fortunately, you would be able to turn your iPad into a Windows 8 based tablet using an application called – ‘testbed’.
The only complication is that you would require to connect your iPad with PC/Mac if you want to run Metro UI on iPad. Nevertheless, for the same purpose, you should have Windows 8 installed on the PC/Mac. On PC, the procedure is simple. All you need is do is to boot it up from an image or a bootable disk after burning it on a DVD or Pen drive. Whereas, on Mac, you could use bootcamp or Parallel desktop (if it’s supported) to run it on a partition. The consumer preview can be downloaded from the Microsoft website for free.

Do you remember when Apple demoed a real-time counting of 5 billion apps download at WWDC where one application was falling over the top of another randomly? Now you can have the same experience on your iPad with the help of a twitter client called ‘Crest’. Crest is an altogether different approach to view your twitter timeline in the form of falling people from the top to bottom, one over the another randomly. Though it offers limited functionality, but the gestures have been made really simple.
Once you open the Crest application, you would be thrown with a tutorial. Just read the tutorial on how to control the application using gestures. However, even if you skip the tutorial, it won’t cause you much harm. The application is really intuitive and requires a negligible effort to understand it completely. Enter your twitter credentials when prompted. Unfortunately, it doesn’t link itself with the system integration of twitter in iOS. So, you would need to enter them manually.
As soon as you have surpassed that login page, you would see a completely black screen. Now the Crest application would fetch data from twitter and boom! you would see icon of people from your twitter timeline falling onto your screen. Depending on the orientation, those icons would fall from top to bottom. If you want to read a tweet, tap on the icon and it would appear instantly. But don’t confuse yourself about the way in which those icons have been arranged. The arrangement of twitter timeline is absolutely random. Hence there’s not a way to figure out who tweeted first until everything is loaded perfectly and timeline slows down. [click to continue…]
There has always been rumors that the new iPad from Apple is experiencing some issues with Wifi signal reception. Recently, TabletPCReviews conducted a test where they figured out that the drop down in signals actually exists in iPad 3. According to them, they used a Cisco WRT310N 802.11a/b/g/n single wireless point for all of the iDevices. These iDevices constituted a new iPad, iPad first generation, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS.
As you can see, it covers almost all of the devices from old to new. And the test were performed using the SpeedTest.app which can be installed from the App Store for free. Though the test was done on the same floor, the distance was incremented after each test to know the problems with Wifi reception. In addition to the distance, they had several walls in between the iDevice and the access point. However, two servers were used in the test. One belonged to Los Angeles which was 32 Miles and another one at Ft. Worth, Texas was 1,175 miles away. [click to continue…]
A lot of people had confusion about the way Apple devices are charged. Just to clear the air, Apple VP, Michael Tchao explained that the new iPad is charged the same way, other Apple devices does. And customers shouldn’t bother about the mechanism, according to a report from AllThingsD. Whatever the case is, you would get 10 hours of battery life in one single full charge. Earlier, there were misconceptions that the new iPad charges only 90% even if it says fully charged.
The way things works has been explained here. Whenever an iOS device is charged 100% and the device remains plugged in, it drain itself automatically by a minute percentage and then charges the battery again way back to full. This is why you need not to worry about any of the iOS device even if you have left it fully charged for hours. This phenomena doesn’t include only the new iPad. In fact, all of the previous devices such as iPhone, iPod touch or other iPads are based on it. Also, it doesn’t matter when you unplugged your device from the charger. [click to continue…]
In addition to it, we have many other features. If you have accidentally uninstalled the untether, it would let you re-install the JailBreak. Redsn0w also fetches saved SHSH Blobs/APTickets from Cydia automatically during the JailBreak. So, you don’t need to manually save them from any other tool such as TinyUmbrella. Moreover, it would now show additional information about your device, that is wether you are on an iPhone 3G with vulnerable baseband boot loader or an old bootrom in iPhone 3GS.
