A few days ago Make Work had the chance to interview Jay Freeman (best known as Saurik), the guy who created Cydia and the jailbreak community as we know it today. He talks jailbreak, exploits, iPhone 4 jailbreak status.
Check out the video below. And remember, jailbreak for iPhone 4 will be released soon. [via iSpazio]
So exactly how many iPad 3G’s have landed in customer’s hands? AT&T gave up some of the juicy details as a part of their quarterly earnings report.
- AT&T reported that it activated service on 400,000-500,000 iPad “Wi-Fi + 3G” devices during the quarter, which actually consists of only the last two months of the quarter as the 3G-capable models did not begin shipping until the very end of April.
- 75-80% of iPad data customers are on the more expensive 2 GB plan priced at $25 per month as opposed to the 250 MB plan at $14.99 per month. AT&T had initially launched an unlimited data plan priced at $29.99 per month, and users who joined that plan while it was in effect can remain on it for the foreseeable future provided they do not allow their service to lapse.
It was also noted that 50% of all Fortune 100 companies have deployed or are piloting the iPad for corporate use.
Apple’s manufacturing woes continue as iPad delays become more evident. Display supplier LG cannot keep up with the demand for the slate-like device, claiming that they’re running at full capacity but may consider production cuts in August.
Reuters’ reports:
The company is a supplier to Apple’s iPad, which has sold 3.47 million units since its April launch, and Kwon said LG Display was unable to meet growing demand from Apple.
“Demand (from Apple) keeps growing and we can’t meet it all. Apple may have to delay launches of the iPad for some countries due to tight component supplies and strong demand.
“We are considering increasing production lines for iPad products but overall supply is likely to remain tight until early next year.”
It’s forecasted that 13 million units will be sold this year.

The iPad has no file browser. There’s no way to aggregate online services like Dropbox and MobileMe in one place by default. The iPad has no visible file structure to let users create folders, move files around, create new files in specific locations.
Still, is it enough to not come up with an app that overrides Apple’s limitations and allows you to build your own file browser? An app that is capable of collecting online services in a single interface, enabling you to download files from the internet and achieve a pretty good cloud-based workflow?
Actually, there are some apps with these features in the App Store, and I’ve tried many of them. Air Sharing HD is probably one of the best around, at least I used to believe until I stumbled upon the first release of iFiles for iPad.
The white iPhone 4 has been delayed again. And it’s the phone some are waiting out for simply because it’s not available yet, making it that much more lucrative to own. But will this hurt Apple’s bottom line? Not really. UBS analyst Maynard Um basically says an iPhone is an iPhone.
“We view the delay of the white iPhone 4 as net neutral as we believe [Apple’s] outlook likely did not embed sales of the white models given the ongoing manufacturing challenges.”
“Although the white iPhone could have potentially further helped sales, we note that consensus ests of $18.3 billion is much closer to mgmt guidance (about $18 billion) relative to historical trends. We still believe estimates could prove conservative given our view that guidance reflects conservatively achievable targets.”
Between sales of the iPad and the iPhone, Apple will still be incredibly successful. Color is a relatively minor issue, something that is making more news than it should. But if you haven’t gotten an iPhone yet just because of the color, may I suggest a TUAW reader’s approach?

It seems like Apple’s on a roll today. They’ve just announced the delay for the white iPhone 4, they’re updating the official website for the 17 countries that will get it on July 30, and they’ve just rolled out the much-anciticipated iPhone 4 Case Program.
Another update for Dropbox for iPhone, which reaches version 1.2.4 - an update aimed at fixing compatibility issues with iOS 4, together with some new iPhone 4-specific features.
The new version includes HD settings for iPhone 4, but only for newly recorded videos and not for those stored in the Library. Also, there’s a new “Require Immediately” passcode setting if a user leaves the app for a moment.
Check out the full changelog after the break, and go download the app here.
I’m sorry folks, bad news for those of you who were waiting for the white iPhone 4. It has been delayed again, Apple has just released a statement about it.
“CUPERTINO, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ – White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.”
Oh, you’re so funny Samsung. You designed an ad with “Hello” on top, but instead of Ls you put bars in there. Oh, so funny.
Now, please remind us what’s your exact status in the smartphone market, please. It’s so easy to hide mistakes by making fun of someone else.
