Apple Suggests You Should Open Presentations In…iBooks

Right after the iPhone 4 was announced, Apple updated its website with screenshots of the new features. Mail.app has a dedicated page on the website, and we noticed that Apple posted a screenshot of Mail allowing you to open a presentation attachment in Keynote. Too bad Keynote for iPhone hadn’t been announced at the keynote, so we all wondered whether that might mean that iWork suite was on its way to the iPhone.

Tripmix, Music Blocks made Easy

In North Carolina, my respective radio station is 106.5 The End (link might contain NSFW content). And while I don’t know too many people who still listen to their local radio stations, I’m a huge fan, thus the shameless plug (and the window sticker). Occasionally they’ll have a block party weekend, where they’ll play two or three songs by the same artist in a row, and it’s a format I really love. But now when I travel, I can have a block party weekend wherever I go with Tripmix.

Geohot’s Next Jailbreak Tool To Be Called Limera1n?

It seems like popular hacker George Hotz is already working on the next version of his popular jailbreak tool for iPhone and iPod Touch, currently called “Blackra1n”. According to Redmond Pie, the next iteration should be called “Limera1n” and it turns out that a website is already online and the Whois record points to the same credentials Hotz used for Blackra1n. We’re embedding it after the break.

I think Hotz is indeed working on this Limera1n tool, but it’s the one that will jailbreak OS 4.0 devices, so it’s not going to be available soon, like next week. As for the jailbreak of the current iPad, we heard that it’s near completion - so I guess that should come anytime now. Hopefully, we’ll be here in two weeks discussing Cydia for iPad.

Jailbreak for iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1 Available

Dev Team’s Musclenerd has just announced the first public jailbreak of the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta 1. Aimed only at developers of jailbroken apps, this jailbreak is done using RedSnow (Mac-only) 0.9.5 beta, available here.

The jailbreak doesn’t work on the iPad and, again, is still very broken and unstable. Still, it seems to be working.

Also, iPhone 3G only for now. More to come in the next days.


Video Shows Jailbroken iPhone 3G With OS 4.0 and Multitasking

Last week we reported that some developers found out you can enable multitasking on the iPhone 3G by simply changing a string in a .plist file from “false” to “true”. Today a video has been released, and it shows an iPhone 3G, running OS 4.0, jailbroken and with multitasking.

The jailbreak has probably been done with the iH8sn0w tool, whose developers has announced they are working on the iPhone OS 4.0 version. You can easily spot that it’s an iPhone 3G by how slow (compared to the 3GS) it opens Settings and Clock. Check out the video after the break.
