iPad Deals
0Now the iPad 2 has been released I have put together a great little iPad Deals comparison website to help people find the best iPad deal for them. The best deals I have found so far are all from 3 Mobile so I have kept it simple on the site and 3 is all I provide links for, after all why would anyone want an iPad from O2 when 3 offer a much better deal?
Unfortunately, the day after the site launched was the same day that the UK seemed to run out of stock of the iPad 2 so the deal comparison site is quite pointless for the moment!
Over time I plan on expanding the site to cover worldwide iPad offers to help out our overseas friends, but for now will stick to UK only iPad deals More >
No I don’t want a new iPad for Christmas
0Who are all these idiots lining up to buy their loved ones iPads for Christmas? Any fool only needs to do a quick google search to see that a new iPad is due for release next year, with some reports saying the iPad 2 will be released as soon as February!
The safest bet for anyone wanting the latest iPad is to sign up for a free iPad with freebiejeebies, collect the required number of referrals and wait a few weeks until we know for certain when the iPad 2 will be released.
With the usual expected technological advances between 1st and 2nd gen iDevices, we can expect a big upgrade with the iPad 2. Simple things like adding a front facing camera for skype and facetime would be nice and are quite obvious options for Apple. Doubling More >
Limera1n – Jailbreak your iPhone 4.1 iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPod, Apple TV
1While we were waiting for 10/10/10 and the anticipated release of the Chronic Dev Team’s Greenpois0n jailbreak, the original iPhone jailbreaker George Holtz decided to come out of retirement and release his own version – called Limera1n. His reason being, ‘to make the Dev Team do the right thing’. We’re not sure what the spat is all about, but we do know that this competition is good for us iPhone users, as we will eventually have a choice of unpatchable jailbreaks to choose from.
Unlike Greenpois0n, Limera1n also jailbreaks the iPhone 3GS because it uses a different exploit. Greenpois0n uses the SHAtter exploit while Limera1n uses…well we don’t know, but something else.
So, the Chronic Dev-Team decided not to release their greenpois0n jailbreak tool just yet, perhaps so Apple will concentrate on closing the hole that Limera1n is exploiting so they can release More >
Greenpois0n – Jailbreak iPhone 4 for life
0The iPhone 4 ultimate jailbreak is soon to be released to us. The jailbreak will work on all recent iDevices including the iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 4G, and possibly even the Apple TV (iTV ?).
Greenpois0n will be release on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10 by Joshua Hill, also known as p0sixninja from the Chronic-Dev Team.
The jailbreak, which uses the SHatter exploit will only work on iDevides that incorporate the new A4 chip (so not good news for 3G owners), and works by exploiting the bootrom which means Apple can’t do anything about it. That’s right, with all previous jailbreaks Apple would release a new firmware that switches off and blocks the hack – so iPhone owners would need to continually jailbreak their devices. Now, once the greenpois0n is activated it can’t be turned off by an update from Apple.
We’ll provide a full review and how-to guide as More >
Your iPod touch can be an iPhone – says Apple
0Remember the Apple Peel device from China that turned your iPod Touch (rather clunkily) into an almost-iPhone (see the related posts after this article)? Well, according to Patently Apple, Apple have recently filed a patent to do the same, only better and more sleekishly Apple-like.
This was one of twenty seven patents filed by Apple on the same day, ten of which included similar functionalities.
With the iPod Touch selling so many units, the ability for users to make ad hoc calls by way of a wireless or plug in widget – without the need for costly data plans from mobile providers could potentially be another goldmine for Apple.
