You can now Jailbreak an A4 iOS device Untethered. This includes the iPhone 4, iPod Touch and iPad 1.
A5 devices (iPhone 4S and iPad2 coming soon)

Be warned though that once you Jailbreak you will not be able to use the “Over the Air” updates now available in iOS5.

I personally am not Jailbroken any more as I love the stability and ease of being able to update whenever I can.

As a devoted iOS fan and still a fan of Jailbreaking I will cover how to Jailbreak on my standard Jailbreak Page HERE as soon as I get the chance to update.

Free today only guys so be quick!

First is Reckless Racing (think top down “Burn Out” with a chase element)

Then there’s Tofu 2 (the sequel to a pretty awesome puzzle game)

Both of these apps are universal so work on iPhone, iPod Touch and Full-Screen on iPad2!!

Enjoy!

Free on the AppStore today is WhatsApp Messenger. Well worth the download as its free messages to all your non iOS5 friends (iMessages exempt friends) and your cross platform Android Friends and Blackberry Friends too (if they ever fix their servers!)

Click the icon to download

iOS5 will be released to the public today and with it comes iMessage which is free text messages for everyone!! Plus many many more incredible features. It’s amazing but if you want to keep your jailbreak do not update.
To be honest I’ve been on iOS5 for months now as a developer but forbidden to talk about it under a Non Disclosure Act from Apple.
As it is officially launched today that NDA will lift and I can disclose just how cool it is. Im no longer Jailbroken because it gives me everything I want out of the box, plus with no Jailbreak it doesn’t crash or hang and the battery life is amazing.
My top 3 favourite additions -

iMessage – your iPhone knows if the person you are sending a message is on an iOS device that’s running iOS5 (that includes iPads and iPod touches) and if they are online via wifi or 3G it will send your message over the internet for free! You can see when it’s delivered, read (if you turn that feature on) and you can see when someone is typing a reply. Plus images and videos can be sent too all for free!!

Twitter – You can share anything from anywhere directly to Twitter as its built in to iOS. That includes photos, websites, map locations and videos.

Reminders – Ok I didn’t see the point of this at the beginning as I use my calendar religiously. However today I set a reminder to go off automatically when my phone knew I was at work, and it did! I then had a reminder to stop at the doctors after I had picked my son up from school and sure as hell as I drove out of the village my phone went off an reminded me to go to the doctors. This all worked from it knowing my location and amazed me. I now have a clever list of reminders that i can’t believe I never had in my life before.

Other cool new features -

Double tap home on the lock screen to see a button that opens your camera without unlocking your phone.

Edit photos right from the photos app and create and manage your own folders.

Notification center keeps all your push messages in one convenient screen you can pull down from the top at any moment. Finally say goodbye to those hideous popup messages and relish in the beauty of notification center. Plus get a text when your phone is locked, let them list up on your lockscreen but then open a specific one by sliding the actual notification to unlock straight to that app!

iCloud – Games, Apps, iTunes, Emails, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders plus much more now store their data in the cloud. This means you can access them from any device and keep everything in sync everywhere. Games are already using this for save files which means you can carry on where you left off on any one of your devices.

There’s much much more I haven’t covered but I don’t have the time right now. As soon as I do I will continue this write-up. For now what are you waiting for, press the upgrade button and enjoy iOS5!!

I am cycling 25 Miles from Home Farm in Chilthorne Domer to West Bay on Sunday the 9th October to raise money for the Piers Simon Appeal and SCHOOLinaBAG.

Piers Simon Appeal is a disaster relief charity that delivers aid worldwide.

SCHOOLinaBAG is a charity I am now working very closely with and is a simple solution created to help poor, orphan, vulnerable and disaster affected children throughout the world. Each SchoolBag is filled with stationery equipment and resources that will enable a child to write, draw, colour, calculate, express themselves and above all learn.

If you just gave me £1 yeah you’d be shy a chocolate bar but look on the bright side, its less on the hips and your £1 would contribute to my target which if I reach would buy 10 School Bags!

Please support this amazing cause, even if its just to get me in a pair of silly, tight cycling shorts! Im sure there will be pictures!!

Apple has just officially announced their media event is to be held on the 4th October at 10.00am PST (Pacific Time)
That’s 6pm for us Brits over the pond.
The event will be held in a much more intimate location on their campus instead of their regular haunt.
This confirms all the rumours and the graphic they are using to advertise it spins some new rumours of its own!
The graphics confirm the date, time and location but there is a strange number 1 on the phone icon. You’d usually see this if you have a missed call. Then theres the strap line “Let’s talk iPhone”
This implies the release of just one iPhone instead of the high end and entry level people are expecting? I for one only ever thought they’d release the one and use the current iPhone to replace the entry level 3GS.
The interesting part for me is the word “Talk” my thoughts on this are it is about the iPhone talking to its user and the user talking to its iPhone. Full voice control so we can talk operations and text messages and it types for us. Likewise it will read them out-loud too!
Not long until the 4th, a week today in-fact. All will be answered then

Thats right folks, because of the PGA TOUR Championship, EA are giving Tiger Woods 12 away for FREE
