A few days ago, iH8sn0w released v2.9.2 of his popular jailbreak tool, Sn0wBreeze. The update added the ability for users to jailbreak their iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 5.1 (yes, it's still tethered).
Then last night, the hacker seeded another version of the software, bringing it to v2.9.3. This update includes a minor bug fix, but also features new jailbreak support for Apple TV's on iOS 4.4.3 and 4.4.4...
While we've already heard about Apple's new iPad and Apple TV, a few more things are trickling out after the event that just wrapped up in California. Along with iOS 5.1 and the new iPhoto for iPad, Apple will also launch iTunes 10.6 this afternoon.
There's no word on new features, but it will of course feature support for iOS 5.1...
Yesterday, 9to5Mac reported that it had heard from reliable sources that Apple was on the verge of releasing a new Apple TV. The site claimed that there's a good chance that we could see the product unveiled alongside the new iPad next week.
The report makes sense, considering the previous proof we've seen that an ATV refresh was on the way. But in case you needed any more convincing, AppleInsider has uncovered some new evidence...
Attention all Apple TV jailbreakers, FireCore has just released a new version of its popular jailbreaking utility known as Seas0nPass. The software is the ATV equivalent of an app like Absinthe.
In the latest update, which brings Seas0nPass to version 0.8.2, FireC0re has added in a new stitching feature which makes downgrading to previous firmware versions possible...
The Apple TV is in an interesting spot right now. Apple introduced the media hub, in its current form, all the way back in September of 2010. So in comparison to the company's other iOS products, the ATV is long overdue for a refresh.
But given all of the rumors that we've heard that Apple is building a full blown TV set, you have to wonder if we'll see another iteration of the set-top-box. Well whatever the next 'Apple TV' product is, we could see it very soon...
The folks over at FireCore have been really busy this year improving their aTV Flash (black) software for the Apple TV. Last month they released version 1.2 with a number of fixes. And today they're back with even more improvements.
Most notably, the program now offers automated backups which will allow users to restore to the firmware of their choice with a single click. FireCore also added a number of new translation languages. Keep reading for the full change log...
As noted by AppleInsider, Apple has quietly pushed out a tiny update for its Apple TV. Users will notice a new 'Genius' option on the Apple TV menu when browsing through movies or TV shows.
The Genius feature has been available on iTunes for years now, helping folks discover new music based on their previous purchases. And now Apple TV owners can use it to find new video content...
We've been on an Apple TV tear as of late, so how appropriate that the fine folks over at FireCore update their excellent aTV Flash (black) tool for Apple TV jailbreakers.
aTV Flash (black) version 1.2 brings quite a few new features to the table, especially when it comes to the media player that comes bundled with it.
Included with the latest version are new video zoom options, and a Kindle Fire inspired "recent" pages addition to the web browser.
Apple has been on a roll this week with software updates, seeding iOS 5.1 beta 2 to developers and iTunes 10.5.2 to the masses. Now the company has just released two more software updates for iOS devices.
The first is for the Apple TV 2, bringing the device to iOS 4.4.4. The update appears to just contain minor improvements, as no new features have been discovered yet. And the second is for the iPhone 4S.
Earlier this year, Apple seeded iOS 4.3 for Apple TV owners. Among the update's new features was the ability to stream previously-purchased TV shows from iTunes to the living room via Apple's new iCloud service.
For some reason though the feature has been limited to folks inside the US... until now. Reports are coming in that Apple has finally opened up pre-purchased TV show streaming to Apple TV owners in other countries...
Even though jailbreaking hasn't done much for the Apple TV what it has for the other iDevices, it still has made quite an impact. FireCore's aTV Flash (Black) application is a perfect example of that, adding several features to the popular media hub.
For those not familiar with the software, aTV Flash is a jailbreak application for the Apple TV 2 that includes a web browser and support for streaming dozens of file formats. It is the app for Apple TV jailbreakers, and it just received a major update...
Heads up Apple TV owners: Apple has just seeded iOS 4.4.3. The update appears to be another maintenance release, as we haven't spotted any major new features or differences in the software.
For those of you keeping track, this is the fourth update the company has released for its Apple TV platform within the last month. Each release has brought about specific bug fixes. So, what does the new iOS 4.4.3 bring?
