Untethered Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 from Comex to Release After Verizon iPhone?
0
i0n1c asking: so is not waiting for the next iOS for untethering?Till know Comex isn't able to give us an exact estimate for his long awaited untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1, he may care about patching his jailbreak exploit on Verizon iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.5, I think it's an acceptable excuse for Comex to let Verizon iPhone 4 users able to jailbreak their devices once they got it.
Comex replying: I don't know, I think I'm waiting for the Verizon iPhone.
Whats New in iOS 4.3 Beta 1 !
0
New Multi-touch Gestures to iPad:
iOS 4.3 brings new multi-touch gestures to the iPad. The new four and five finger gestures makes movement much easier, quicker and better; pinch to the home screen, swipe up to reveal multitasking tray, swipe left/right to switch apps.
Test Multi-Touch Gestures for iPad
This beta release contains a preview of new Multi-Touch gestures for iPad. You can use four or five fingers to pinch to the Home Screen; swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar; and swipe left or right between apps. We are providing this preview before releasing them to the public to understand how these gestures work with your apps. Test them and give us your feedback on the Apple Developer Forums.
Personal Hotspot to all iPhones
As expected, Apple has pushed personal hotspot feature to all iPhones on iOS 4.3 but it'll work like tethering on AT&T, likely with those fun-time data caps. No word on AT&T yet.
New Camera Effects
As noted by iSpazio, iOS 4.3 beta 1 firmware files hints at some references to new effect in the Camera app. The effects are; Thermal Camera, X-ray, Kaleidoscope, Normal, Tunnel of Light, Collapse, Turbine, and Enlarge.
New FaceTime Icon, Full Screen iAds
As reported by 9to5mac, iOS 4.3 brings a groovy, new FaceTime icon (above) as well as a new full-screen iAd banners and adds Airplay and Apple TV services (not apps on Apple TV -- yet) for apps. Specifically:
AirPlay Video support is now available as an option for developers in the MPMoviePlayerController class. It is also available to web authors via the QuickTime Plug-In or media element
Brings Back Orientation Lock
It seems like Steve Jobs changed his mind and decided to bring a new setting lets you choose for the switch to be an orientation lock or the new mute switch (via MacStories):
iPhone 3G and iPod touch Support Drop
As we reported, iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G have been discontinued as of iOS 4.3. Both of the devices are not listed anymore on the iOS developer website. This indicates that the latest iOS build for iPhone 3G and iPod touch may be iOS 4.2.1.
Everything in Brief
Engadget has made a brief video for everything you need to know about iOS 4.3, check it below
iOS 4.3 Confirming iPad 2 Camera
0
You will notice the same shutter screen as found on the iPhone and iPod touch in addition to camera roll icons for videos and pictures. We opened up the camera shutter images and the size is 1024 x 768, which is the same resolution as the current iPad.
Apple Removing Home Button on iPad 2 and iPhone 5
0
We have exclusively been told that the reason Apple just added multitouch gestures for the iPad in the latest iOS 4.3 beta is because the iPad will be losing the home button. Yes, we are told that Apple, at some point in time, will remove the home button from the iPad’s design. Instead of button taps, you will use new multitouch gestures to navigate to the home screen and also to launch the app switcher.
That’s not all, however. In addition to the home button disappearing from the iPad, we’re told that this change will make its way over to the iPhone as well. Our source said Apple employees are already testing iPads and iPhones with no home buttons on the Apple campus, and it’s possible we will see this new change materialize with the next-generation iPad and iPhone devices set to launch this year.
Additionally, we’re told Apple’s popular photo-taking application, Photo Booth, will be appearing on the next iPad. It’s also very possible that we’ll see iLife apps for iOS unveiled around the iPad 2 release as well.
It has been said that Steve Jobs didn’t want any physical buttons on the original iPhone at first, and it looks like he may soon get his wish.
Samsung Galaxy S2 leakes a photo and some specs... again
0
More rumors about the successor of the Galaxy S appear on the radar. This time a Korean newspaper focuses our attention to the Galaxy S2 by “leaking” a photo of it, accompanied by some specifications.
It’s logical to assume that Samsung is going to announce the successor to the Galaxy S at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. However, we are not exactly sure whether it’s going to look like this.
A couple of months ago we reported yet another rumor of the Galaxy S2 from what looked like Sammy’s leaked slides. Though the credibility of the slides is yet to be confirmed, we'd bet our money on the design offered there to be the real European-spec Galaxy S2. But who knows, that one here may be a regional version for either S. Korea or the US.
Back to the leak at hand, according to the Korean newspaper, the Galaxy S2 is going to run the latest version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread, powered by a dual-core processor with unknown clock speed, a 4.3” sAMOLED plus screen (that's the next generation) and an NFC chip.
Whatever the truth about the Galaxy S2 may be, we’ll provide full coverage from the MWC 2011 so you’ll be the first to know everything about the device as soon as Samsung announces it.

27 percent of you think 4G is what the latest iPhone is called, survey shows
0
January 12th, 2011 byChip
According to 27% of the people that took part in the latest Nielsen survey 4G is what the latest iPhone is called. True story!
With American carriers all keen to boast about their 4G networks to anyone who would listen, Nielsen decided to check how much people really know about 4G wireless tech. As it turned out 17% of the participants have never heard of it, while only 51% of the rest claimed to know what it means. Now that speaks volumes of the efficiency of those multi-million ad campaigns, doesn’t it?
And back to where we started, some 27% of the interviewed claimed that it was the name of the current iteration of the Apple iPhone. A new Android phone from T-Mobile was the answer of every 7th participant. Another 43% thought 4G stands for new devices that process data faster.
Still there were 54% that said 4G was a network supposed to allow data transfer speeds of at least 100 Mbps, while 16% went for either LTE or WiMax. The other answers that I’m willing to rate as close enough are wireless internet at broadband speeds (49%) and mobile network upgrade for high-quality video streaming (45%).

0
However, if the bootrom is different, Chronic Dev Team have their own exploit known as SHAtter which was saved in case if Apple changed the bootrom.

0
Andrea Cervone asking: So, if Apple releases iOS 4.2.5 on 10 February, you’ll preserver your new tool and exploits for that firmware? Maybe this will be a good move. Dev Team and Chronic Dev are releasing their tools for iOS 4.2.1, your can be saved for the future too.So, it's now clear that Comex has moved back about his last ETA (estimate to arrival) for his untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1 as it was related to iOS 4.3 (or iOS 4.2.5) official release. Anyway let's wait and see. Stay tunes
Comex replying:
I hadn’t seen that.
Interesting.. but a month’s
A long time to wait.
iOS 4.3 to Arrive by January 19th?
0
Mark your calendars, media nerds. Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011 is the day it all changes. Maybe.It's now highly expected that Apple will release iOS 4.3 with the arrival of this electronic journal "The Daily" by January 19th, as Apple has been said to be supporting The Daily with "recurring subscription payments" for iTunes accounts, this famous feature will only exist on the upcoming iOS 4.3. Anyway, let's wait and see. [via iSpazio]
That's the planned launch date for The Daily, the iPad-only publication News Corp. has been feverishly developing. The company has yet to say boo about it, and a spokesman declined to comment when I asked him about the launch date, which comes via a News Corp. insider.

.Redsn0w 0.9.7b6 Fixes Skype Issues
0
The sixth beta is now available (testers ONLY please!). This version fixes Skype. Please do not pirate the 4.2b3 IPSW! Only those enrolled in the iPhone Developer program have legitimate access to that IPSW using these links (http://pastie.org/1403214) (the links won’t work unless you’re a legit developer currently logged in).On the above quoted text section, dev-team confirmed that the next step is porting Monte which means that you will not be in need of 4.2b3 SHSH blobs to untethered your jailbreak on iOS 4.2.1 and to make the Windows version less painfully slow.
Unlike the last few betas, you can freely run beta6 over beta5 without a problem (but for testing purposes, we’d really like people to try both ways….from stock, and from already jailbroken).
Now that the sandbox, Bluetooth, and Skype issues are fixed, our next priority is porting Monte back to 4.1. We’ll also try to make the Windows version less painfully slow.
To use Redsn0w 0.9.7b6, use our guide posted here while removing usbmuxd steps since it doesn't required usbmuxd anymore.
GreenPois0n 4.2.1 for all iDevice(Soon)
0
p0sixninja: A lot of people are saying another tethered jailbreak is pointless, I agree. Focusing on getting untethered before releaseAnother point which may beat redsn0w, that this won't require SHHS blobs for 4.2b3 unlike the iPhone Dev Team's Redsn0w 0.9.7, according to a reply for someone asking if it is based on the same exploit Comex working on, and whether or not it will require SHSH blobs for 4.2b3 unlike Redsn0w 0.9.7.
