Unlock or Jailbreak iOS 5 for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

Untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is on the way, according to Chronic Dev Team . They have already found several exploits that could possibly be used in a future iOS 5 jailbreak. At the same time, Apple quickly patched these exploits before the public release of the firmware. One of Apple's weapons in the arsenal against jailbreaking is the log of crash reports, sent automatically from iTunes that serves to identify possible exploits. Chronic Dev Team is trying to stop Apple from finding out about these potential jailbreak opportunities by circumventing the automatic crash reports from iOS. Now the Chronic Dev Team is hard at work collecting submissions from iPhone users everywhere. As per the report, these will be 10 million in one week to be exact, which will help the team identify possible exploits for a new iOS 5 jailbreak. The Chronic Dev Team recently released an app that collects iOS crash reports in iTunes and sends them to the team’s private servers to help...

Alternative Web Browser Choices for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

The built-in Safari web browser of your iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) is pretty nice but it still lacks a few essentials features that are now part of every modern browser. What’s Missing in Safari Mobile Browser iPad’s Safari browser doesn’t support tabs so it takes more time to switch between open web pages. There’s no private browsing mode so if there’s anything in your iPad’s web history that you don’t want other family members to see, you’ll have to clear the entire browser history. You cannot disable images from downloading, a feature that otherwise come very handy when you are on metered Wi-Fi connection where you have to pay per byte. Safari ships pre-configured with Google, Yahoo and Bing but you just can’t add Wikipedia or any of the search engines to that list. Alternative Web Browsers for your iPad Opera Mini , which is now among the most popular alternative mobile browser for iPhone and iPod Touch, is not iPad-friendly yet but there are some other good browser apps tha...

What does iOS update 4.0.2 means for my iPhone

Apple released another update for the iPod touch, iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 today, patching two security holes in the operating system. iOS 3.2.2 for the iPad has also been released. The update patches a security vulnerability in Safari, the same hole that hackers used to create the latest jailbreak. The update will patch the vulnerability found in Safari's PDF viewer, allowing for unauthorized code to be run on the device. Interestingly, the update is only available for iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4 users, Apple will not patch the vulnerability on 1st generation iPhone devices. The current jailbreak method, which can be used on any iDevice, uses the Safari browser and a single swipe of your finger to execute the unauthorized code, allowing users to run Cydia, a home-brew App Store developed by Jay Freeman. Jailbreak users should use caution, as this update will unjailbreak your device. The update also makes the signal bars display more accurately as apple quotes on official site ...

Adobe Flash now available for Apple iPhone 4, iOS 4, iPad

Beyond sporadic antenna-flavoured mishaps and AT&T exclusivity, there’s really not much to complain about when it comes to Apple’s iPhone. But it doesn’t run Adobe Flash, we hear you cry. Oh, but it does run Adobe Flash, we reply, or hadn’t you heard? Moreover, an annoyed Steve Jobs is probably grinding his back teeth right about now after Comex, a renowned member of the hacker community, publicly revealed the ‘Frash’ iOS solution, which nimbly circumvents Apple’s staunch refusal to embrace Flash on the iPhone. According to Frash’s creator, the hack runs through iOS on the Safari browser and work with the new iPhone 4 smartphone, as well as its predecessor the iPhone 3GS and also Apple’s iPad tablet computer. Of course, using Frash isn’t as easy as quickly popping into the App Store. Firstly, anyone looking to put Frash through its paces will need to be using a jail-broken iPhone, which instantly narrows compatibility. And the current available build (version 0.02) is extremely ...
