Alike most of you, I thought that the way that Geohot only allowed for Windows users to use his Limera1n jailbreak was a bit weird, but now you can enrage Steve on any platform you choose by using Limera1n by Geohot or Greenpois0n by the Chronic Dev Team. But remember, if you do try and break away from Apple's grasp, beware that there is always risks with Jailbreaking, so always back up.
The Incipio Hive is a gaming case made from silicone for the iPod Touch 4G. Incipio are known to have a gaming case for every Apple touch device, now your ultra thin iPod Touch 4G can get some extreme grip with the Hive gaming case, and it looks pretty comfortable to hold from here. The Hive comes in four colors and includes two screen protectors all for $20.

They have been rivals for a year and a half, but Cydia and Rock unite, as SaurikIT (the makers of Cydia) have acquired Rock and will be moving everything from Rock over to the Cydia store. And, not only will the stores combine, but all the software engineers will be combine as well. Which will make a much better Cydia as all of the knowledge and expertise come together. This is a great thing for all jailbreakers, I'm sure, but users running 4.1 will have to wait a bit longer to see the new Cydia Store as there is still no jailbreak yet.
Well iOS 4.1 is finally here after Steve Jobs announced it's new features last week at the annual Apple music event in San Francisco. Mr Jobs announced many things in iOS 4.1 including bug fixes to do with the proximity sensor and iOS 4 running incredibly slow on the iPhone 3G. But the main features of the new update are HDR photos and the debut of Game Center, Apple's version of Xbox Live.
HDR photos basically takes 3 photos, one over exposed, one under exposed and one that is normal. It then combines these and takes the best parts of each of the photos, i.e. the details in the shadows and the brightness of the sky to make a very detailed photo.
While Game Center is Apple's take on Xbox Live. There are many similarities to Xbox Live, such as Achievements and online multi-player with other iOS users. There are no games available that are combaitable with Game Center as of yet but expect them soon. Also, feel free to friend me on Game Center, my user name is patrickrigby01.
It is available for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 2nd gen, iPod touch 3rd gen, and the iPod touch 4th gen, so go download it now if you already haven't!
It is not even out yet, but the good people over at the iPhone Dev Team have managed to Jailbreak iOS 4.1. ?Comex, the creator of the Spirit and jailbreakme.com jailbreaks is saying that he has already located 2 exploits in iOS 4.1. The first one is similar to the jailbreakme.com jailbreak as it uses a loophole in iOS itself, which makes it simple for the user to impliment, whereas the second one is in the bootrom of the iPhone at the hardware level. Which makes the second jailbreak will be much harder to impliment than the first, but as the second one is deep down within the iPhone, it will be much harder for Apple to lock it down.
Look for it to be available the same day that iOS 4.1 is, which is rumoured to be September 8th.
According to Apple's UK website , iOS 4.1 will hit devices on September 8th. Which will probably mean that the brand new iPods announced on Wednesday along side iOS 4.1 will be released on that day.
iOS 4.1 brings many bug fixes to do with ?proximity sensor issue, Bluetooth, and iPhone 3G performance but it also brings many new features such as HDR photos, TV show rentals, HD video uploads over WiFi and Game Center.
