Swipe For Mail – The New Way to View Your Email

Swipe for mail allows users to swipe left or right to see their next or previous emails in the Mail app. This is another app made available for jailbroken iDevices. According to Cydia, Swipe for Mail adds the ability to swipe left or right in Mail.app to retrieve the previous or next email. No icons are added to your home screen or settings and there are no options to configure either.

We tested the Swipe for Mail tweak on a jailbroken iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 and we can confirm that it works just as advertised. It might be a small tweak but we feel that it is a very useful tweak which makes reading email a more pleasant experience and it saves you plenty of time. If you are one of the few who prefer tapping their screen this might not be the tweak for you as it involves swiping. It is however a great simple tweak that you can add to your jailbroken iPhone or iDevice that uses the Mail.app.

You will of course need to have a jailbroken device to install this tweak and if you need help jailbreaking the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 you can use Absinthe. If you have the iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1 and iPod Touch you can use Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. Swipe for Mail can be downloaded for free from Cydia under ModMyi repo which is included by default.

Two New Siri Related iPhone 4S Commercials Released By Apple

Apple have released two new thirty second commercials in their next step in promoting Siri, the headline feature of the iPhone 4S. The first of these commercials centres around a Road Trip and features the integration of Siri with the Maps application, location services, Yelp and it also demonstrates the intelligent voice assistant's ability to give on the fly directions to a specifically requested location.

The second commercial focuses on a young music lover and pays attention to how Siri can display musical notes to help the young musician learn new skills as well as composing a text message from spoken words to the other band members. This commercial shows Siri's use of the Wolfram-Alpha service to pull up search results and it also shows how users can program their own nickname into Siri.

Apple products such as the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad have changed the way we think about consumer technology and they have also dramatically enhanced the way some people actually live their lives. The iPhone and iPod touch brough such technologies as FaceTime which allows people to connect to their loved ones via video entirely free of charge once they are connected to a Wi-Fi network. The iPad also comes with FaceTime capabilities but it is also about to play a pivotal role in reinventing educational standards across the United States. It is also used quite extensively in the medical and aviation industries to enhance professional standards.

Apple's products may be amazing but their success is all down to their ability to market them. Apple knows how to market perfectly using effective visual campaigns, simple and immediately recognizable television commercials and perfect product placement strategies. They engage with their audience and encourage sales. Both of the new Apple commercials follow a familiar pattern and they are simplistic whilst still focusing entirely on the product they are attempting to promote. They invoke an emotional reaction and they demonstrate how the iPhone 4S and Siri work in real world situations and how they can easily be integrated into daily life.

Unlock iPhone, Jailbreak iPhone and iPhone Unlocking What's Different - iPad 3 Leaked Parts Have Been Compared With The iPad 2

The iPad 3 is getting closer and iPad 3 leaked parts have been compared with iPad 2 parts and the findings show a slightly thicker profile, bigger battery, bigger retina display and high resolution camera. It is just a matter of weeks before the iPad 3 event if rumors are to be believed and to add fuel to the fire it seems that iPad 3 parts and components have been leaked and if this is correct they reveal some interesting information about the brand new iPad 3 device.

This news came from the folks over at 9to5Mac in the form of a report in which they cite a post over on ilab.cc which is full of photos of some of the iPad 3's leaked components. The back panel suggests that the iPad 3 will be about 10mm thick which is 1mm thicker than the iPad 2 and this is supposedly due to the newer more powerful components such as a larger camera sensor, bigger battery and thicker dual LEB backlit LCD panel. Ilab.cc compared one of the rumored sharp high resolution LDC panels and found that it fits absolutely perfectly with the leaked iPad 3 back plate.

That's not all, the iPad 3's camera hole is different to the iPad 2 design and this suggests that the iPad 3 may just come with a more respectable rear camera too. The results of this iPad 3 component leak study match perfectly with the rumored hardware specifications which are a longer lasting battery, a 2048x1536 9.7” retina display and better camera sensors to match the higher resolution. It isn't clear as yet if there will be a quad core A6 or just a faster more efficient dual core A5. According to latest reports the iPad 3 is set to be announced in the first week of March at Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts in San Francisco.

Jailbreaking To Become Illegal Again

In July 2010 the United States government ruled that jailbreaking and the unlocking of Apple iphones was deemed to be a legal act as long as the process wasn't being carried out with the intention of circumventing copyright. This ruling was a major blow for Apple especially as they had invested so much time and money into making their devices and their operating systems as secure as possible. Apple has always been a public advocate for making jailbreaking an unlawful act.

Apple released a short statement at the time that stated that whilst jailbreaking would be officially legal it would still void any official Apple warranties. Apple also stated that their goal was to insure that customers have a great experience with their iPhone and that jailbreaking could severely degrade the experience.

Last week we saw that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is lobbying for users to add their electronic voice to a petition which aims to ask the United States Government to declare once again that jailbreaking an iPhone does not violate the DMCA. The EFF are asking for this initial exemption, which is set to expire to be extended to cover tablet devices such as the Apple iPad which is not currently covered in the original ruling.

Charlie Miller who is an iOS developer is an advocate for this change and he has been alerting his Twitter followers to the petition and directing them to the EFF website where they can add their voice. A recent Tweet by Charlie Miller makes a plea for users to sign the online petition to help keep jailbreaking legal and to add the iPad to the ruling.

A lot of people were under the illusion that the ruling was permanent and that no further action is needed but Miller has been quick to point out that this is not the case. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is due to expire and according to statistics, the new Absinthe jailbreak tool which is being downloaded by so many shows that jailbreaking is still extremely popular and the jailbreaking community is thriving and expanding. A growing number of software developers now make a living from selling their software and tweaks on Cydia.

It really is important to have your voice heard and if you want to sign the petition all you have to do is visit the Electronic Frontier Foundation website and send your comment to the Copyright Office. Comments must be received by the 10th of February 2012.THE REST OF THE POST HERE (between these two SPAN`s, so dont edit them.) or delete them.

Untethered Jailbreak For iOS 5 Now Works On iOS 5.0.1

Last week you may have heard about iOS developer and hacker Pod2g’s new untethered jailbreak exploit that ran on iOS 5. This was tested using a third generation iPod Touch running iOS 5.0 and he wasn’t sure if it would work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. He did say however that he would test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back with his results.

Well the wait is over and we can confirm that after testing the exploit on his iPhone 4 running the latest iOS 5.0.1 firmware, he has confirmed via Twitter that it is working. This ultimately means that you can now update your iOS device to iOS 5.0.1 and still jailbreak it. If you are an iPhone owner who relies on Ultrasn0w for your unlock you are advised against upgrading to preserve your old baseband. Here’s what Pod2g has to say on his twitter account: Got an untethered iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. Feel free to update.

This is great news for anyone who accidentally updated to iOS 5.0.1 only to find that they were locked out on the new firmware with no way to downgrade to iOS 5.0. It is important to note that so far the exploit has only been confirmed working on A4 based devices and below like the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 4G and 3G, Apple TV and the first generation iPad. There has been no confirmation as yet as to whether this will work on A5 based devices such as the new iPhone 4S or the iPad 2.

Currently there is only a semi-tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 and you can choose from either Redsn0w, Ac1dsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. If this new jailbreak works untethered then this really is great news.

Seas0nPass Lets You Jailbreak Apple TV 4.4.4


If you are looking to jailbreak Apple TV 4.4.4 you can now do so using Seas0nPass for Windows and Mac. Apple released a firmware update for the Apple TV device which has fixed a number of bugs and as with all firmware updates many users have been looking for information about a potential jailbreak.

Seas0nPass is a utility much like the Pwnage Tool which has been designed specifically for the 2nd generation Apple TV and this will now help users to jailbreak and boot Apple TV. Seas0nPass allows users to create custom firmware files for the Apple TV which renders this jailbreak process very easy and simple to do. There are plenty of great tutorials that will show you how to successfully jailbreak Apple TV.

The Seas0nPass jailbreak is a tethered jailbreak and this means that you need to manually put your Apple TV into a jailbroken state every time you turn it off. The jailbreak does however allow for a little more freedom and usability than Apple would like and it also opens the doors to some great new possibilities too. You can even turn your Apple TV into your very own web server to running XBMC.

The Seas0nPass is not like jailbreaks for touch based devices and there is no Cydia or tweaks available to enhance the users experience. That being said however, it is a worthwhile venture and makes Apple TV a little more interesting. Apple TV costs you just $99 and it is a really cheap and compact device that does a really good job. If you have Apple TV and you are looking to jailbreak it then now you can with Seas0nPass.

How Corona Untethered Jailbreak Works For iOS 5.0.1

Corona is an untethered jailbreak that works on iOS 5.0.1 released by pod2g. This A4 only exploit is now released to the public and pod2g has explained in a blog post exactly what Corona is, what it does and how it has sped up the process of finding an untethered jailbreak.

It has previously been the userland exploit that hackers were using in order to breach the stringent iOS security structure. With the iOS 5.0.1 release, Apple has patched all the pre-existing userland holes. This meant that pod2g and other hackers had to look for other ways to deliver jailbreaks. If you are not familiar with the jargon used in software development you might find the explanation below a little difficult to comprehend.

Pre-iOS 5, security researchers used to include the untethered payload as a data page, rather than a code page in the Mach-O binary. The Mach-O loader never bothered checking the authenticity which was great when hackers were looking for security flaws. ROP enabled the execution of code to occur by using signed code in the dyld cache as opposed to writing new executable code. Techniques discovered by the likes of Comex enabled ROP to be started by the Mach-O loader.

Now that Apple has upped its security game, data pages now require signature via their servers in order for the loader to authenticate the binary. @i0n1c has demonstrated ways of passing through the verification process and this method could possibly be used in an iOS 5.1 jailbreak.

With the Corona exploit, pod2g looked for a way to initialize unsigned code without using the Mach-O loader, looking for flaws in the existing Apple binaries that could be found using standard launched plist mechanisms. By using a fuzzer he discovered a format string vulnerability in theracoon configuration parsing code.

In order to apply the jailbreak at boot, racoon is started by a launched plist file which then executes the file which exploits the format string bug and gets the unsigned code going. There is a lot of in-depth information in pod2g’s blog post and for those who aren’t familiar with the jargon it may be too much to read. All that readers need to know is that this untethered jailbreak works.

How To UNTETHERED Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Using Corona 5.0.1 Untether:

Untethered Jailbreak For iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Well Underway

Pod2g has taken his research and development as far as he can and he is now collaborating with members of the Chronic and iPhone Dev teams to complete what he has started. He recently released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 on older generation devices so this is the next step. We have already seen Pod2g's work in the updated version of Redsn0w and in the Corona utility on Cydia so things are really looking up.

Unfortunately though for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners the teams have been unable to release an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak for these devices because they don't have the relevant exploits to inject the untethered files. The exploit that has been used to jailbreak the developers test devices requires the use of an official developer account and this means it cannot be released to the public.

For all those anxiously waiting for news of this new jailbreak it appears that MuscleNerd is also in on the action as well as Cydia Founder Jay Freeman aka Saurik and they have been posting updates via Twitter. It looks like progress is being made and they are hoping to have the A5 jailbreak available as soon as possible.

Rival To Apple's iOS Music App Has Been Released Called Shazam

Shazam is a service that launched in 1999 as a company who provided users with the ability to identify music using their mobile phones. Well now it seems that Shazam player for the iPhone has been released to rival Apple's iOS Music App.

Shazam works by creating an acoustic fingerprint of the music it hears through the microphone and it is then compared to a central database where it matches the song. Shazam is already available for Android, Blackberry and Nokia devices that have java. It has been downloaded over 165 million times since 2008 and it seems they have decided to expand their portfolio.

Shazam has decided to work on creating a new music player application the will compete against the stock music app on iOS devices. This brand new application is being billed as a free of charge replacement for the current iOS music app and it is promising to offer much more functionality than is given by Apple. This includes the ability to have synced lyrics, artist biographies, smart playlists and social sharing capabilities meaning that users can share their content on Facebook, Twitter and other services. LyricPlay is one of the great features of this new app and it allows users to view the lyrics from songs directly in their music library. This feature does require licenses from rights owners and at the moment there are approximately 50,000 sets of lyrics available. If this sounds good to you then why not check out the Shazam app today and see if it is what you are looking for.

Use Sn0wbreeze 2.9 to Jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 Untethered On iPhone, iPad And iPod Touch

Pod2g's Corona untethered exploit for iOS 5.0.1 has breathed some new life into the jailbreak community which has had very little to boost about since the release of iOS 5 just over two months ago. Those of you who are running iOS 5.0.1 can now enjoy an untethered jailbreak 5.0.1 using this exploit.

A tethered jailbreak has been available all along using both Sn0wbreeze and Redsn0w but now it seems as if the full untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 has finally arrived. You may not know this but Pod2g's progress only applies to devices running on the older A4 chip so this is available for the iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch.

Sn0wbreeze which is a very popular Windows only jailbreak utility for creating custom iOS firmware with preserved basebands, has now been updated to jailbreak untethered which is great news and you can find plenty of great tutorials on how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 untethered using Sn0wbreeze. For Mac users it is worth noting that the PwnageTool has also been updated which means these users can also enjoy an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak.

If you are looking to unlock your iDevice many of the newer basebands are simply too tough to crack at the moment so it is worth noting that both Sn0wbreeze and PwnageTool can help with baseband preservation which will allow you to use Ultrasn0w to unlock your device.

If you are running an A5 device such as the iPhone 4S or iPad 2 you will have to wait a little longer to see a jailbreak as these devices are proving quite difficult for the modders and dev teams to infiltrate. A lot of progress has been made on the A5 front so hopefully it won't be too long before there is an untethered jailbreak available for the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1.

Untethered iPad 2 Jailbreak Running Successfully On iOS 5.0.1

All those who have been patiently waiting on the release of an untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S can now breathe a small sigh of relief. The timescales for this release are indeed shortening and a public release could happen at any time.

Every blog and twitter update signals that Pod2g and his dream team of developers are winning their battle against the A5 devices. This whole process began back in November last year and judging by the amount of retweets and replies that each update receives, the jailbreak community is waiting in anticipation of A5 liberation. The people that have been involved in this process have been drip feeding information to the community whenever a goal has been reached or a problem has occurred. This jailbreak journey really has been one of the most transparent in jailbreak history with Pod2g really doing a great job of keeping his fans in the loop.

Recent updates from Pod2g have included a video which shows the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 with an untethered jailbreak. Now we have perhaps the shortest ever blog post by Pod2g which just showed an image and four words. It showed a picture of an iPad 2 with Cydia 1.1.3 running full screen and clearly showing that it is running on iOS 5.0.1.

Apple Sends Out Invites For Special Event On January 19 In New York

Apple were planning to hold a small scale event in New York this month which would take them away from their usual event home in San Francisco. There wasn't a great deal of information available last week but it now looks like Apple have sent out media invites for this event which will be held on the 19th of January in New York. These invitations follow the familiar pattern of being visually simplistic and not giving away any specifics other than confirming the date and that it will be based around an educational announcement.

Now that this event data and topic have been confirmed speculation can begin on the actual specifics of the event and the nature of the announcement that Apple will be making. Back in December 2011, the Michigan Institute of Education announced the launch of an online learning initiative which will offer a select portfolio of MIT courses through a web based platform. It is well known that Cupertino has a long standing relationship with MIT and people are wondering if this is what the announcement will be about.

Other stories have centred around the fact that the announcement could be related to the iBooks store and application which users can download free of charge and many are thinking that learning text books could become available on iBooks. Others are wondering if Apple are going to introduce a platform where people can create and upload their own books to the iBooks store similar to Amazon Kindle.

The iPad is also something that many are taking about and many are wondering if the adoption of the iPad into educational learning environments could be on the cards. Whatever January 19th brings you can be sure that we will be reporting and bringing you all the details.

Apple Event Set for Jan. 19th, 2012:


Display Your Now Playing Song’s Album Art In iOS 5 App Switcher

There is another great new jailbreak tweak called AlbumArt which allows you to display your now playing song’s album art in your App Switcher. This is a great tweak for music lovers so let’s see what all the fuss is about.

AlbumArt has been developed by deVbug on AppSwitcher and it looks to be one of the simplest tweaks we have seen in a long time. It is a one trick tweak and it does this very well. All you have to do is install it and it will replace the Music.app icon on your iOS 5 App Switcher with album art for the current song being played.

This new tweak has been tested on the iPhone 4 on iOS 5 and it works just as advertised. It is coupled with the back/play/forward button which means you basically get a full Android like widget for the Music app under the app switcher. This really is a great tweak and if you have album art associated with your songs you will love it. If you don’t have album art associated with your music all you will see is a black and which music icon. Thanks to the amazing retina display featured on the iPhone 4 this tweak looks really great.

In order to use this tweak you will need to have a jailbroken device and you can jailbreak iOS 5 using Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. AlbumArt on AppSwitcher can be downloaded for free from the BigBoss repository under Cydia.

New Untethered Jailbreak For iPhone 4S and iPad 2 To Be Released Next Week

Two days after Christmas the iOS community were treated to the release of an untethered jailbreak for all A4 devices running iOS 5.0.1. This jailbreak represented nearly two months of hard work and research by pod2g followed by some great work by the iPhone Dev and Chronic Dev teams to package the jailbreak and make it available to the public.

Pod2g has been at it again and this time he tweeted that he has made progress on the A5 jailbreak development and that he expects to see a jailbreak release within a week. This means that all iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners could soon be set free to enjoy all that jailbreaking has to offer including Cydia. This isn’t a guarantee that there will be a release next week but at least we have an update on the situation and initial time release estimation. Once everything else goes to plan we should see things happening very quickly.

The Chronic Dev team also tweeted an update and member p0sixninja alerted jailbreakers via twitter that they should upgrade their devices to iOS 5.0.1 while they still can. If you are one of the many people waiting for an A5 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 then get ready for the good news to be released. We are pretty sure that developers have already been producing some great tweaks for iOS 5 and Siri are more than ready to welcome some new jailbroken devices into the jailbreak community.
