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!)

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!!

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

Hi Guys,

Home poorly at the mo so taking the opportunity to catch up on my site.

This morning GameLofts Asphalt 6 has gone free on the AppStore for a limited time. This is an A* game with high quality graphics and well worth the download.

Next up is FaceBook Messenger. This is a strange additional App to the FaceBook app that purely concentrates on the ability to send and receive messages and receive push notifications when they are received. This is Facebooks rival app for apps like WhatsApp, LiveProfile, Blackberry Messenger and Apples own iMessages launching later this month with iOS5.

There should be an influx of new Apps and updates coming soon to incorporate all the new iOS Gubbings. As they do anything I think that is noteworthy will make its way onto the site

Goodbye free time!

Bejewelled 2 is free on AppStore today

Go Get It

Just found this to enable AirPrint on any printer on OSX.

I can confirm it works with OSX Lion 10.7.2 and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Reports say it works on Leopard too and also machines with PPC Architecture!

It’s called AirPrint Activator and comes from NetPuting.com

It will enable any printer attached to your mac to be shared by Apples AirPrint instead of just the few selected models that come baring the stamped AirPrint logo.

Go get it now! IT’S FREE

Hey guys.

The latest Facebook update to hit the AppStore (Free) has hidden inside it something of truly epic proportions! Thats right folks the long awaited iPad App!

Facebook have been quietly working away at an iPad app to be released in the future and plan on including it inside the regular AppStore Download to be enabled at a later date (As a universal App). Now this clearly has been left here by mistake and is not readily available to any tom, dick or harry. In fact you must be Jailbroken and have to install a small patch to access the iPad version.

To get the Gold at the end of this Rainbow make sure your iPad is Jailbroken (4.3.3 only for you iPad 2 guys) then install the FaceBook App from the AppStore. Once installed go into Cydia and install FaceForward which was coded by that clever @chpwn once your done Enjoy!!
