Could the tension get any higher than that? A few hours after iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for iPhone 4S and iPad 2 announced that the release was imminent, we know have more details coming directly from pod2g.
In a blog post, the French hacker responsible for the upcoming jailbreak for A5 devices revealed the name of the tool that will be released by the Chronic Dev Team: Absinthe...
We know. We're as eager for the A5 jailbreak to drop as you guys are. Probably more. But even though we've been saying it for weeks now, we think we're extremely close to a public release.
And The Dev Team confirms that in its new blog post entitled "Corona A5 jailbreak nearly ready to pop!" The post provides some important information regarding the highly-anticipated exploit...
More updates from the jailbreak world this evening; as if the anticipation could possibly get any higher.
The app that contains the exploits used for the iPhone 4S jailbreak is essentially finished and the final touches are being placed on what we can only assume will be the latest version of GreenPois0n.
Earlier this evening, @planetbeing tweeted that fellow Chronic Dev Team member Nikias Bassen, better known as @pimskeks, has finished the majority of the app that will contain the heavily anticipated iPhone 4S and iPad 2 A5 exploit.
We know. We've been telling you the same thing for the last three weeks now, but it seems that this iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak is right around the corner, as Chronic Dev Team frontman P0sixNinja just tweeted that it shouldn't take much longer now.
Of course, we've heard that before. Several times. But something tells me, this time it's for good...
Apple has posted a promotional video for their recently launched iBooks Textbooks feature, and you can watch it right now.
As you're no-doubt aware of, Apple hosted a media event this morning in NYC to unveil their new education initiative.
We've tried the iBooks Textbooks ourselves, and we liked what we saw. Now you can head over to Apple's website to see a video of their new take on educating the masses via the iPad and iBooks.
We just got the chance to go hands-on with one of the first textbooks to appear in Apple's textbook section of the iBookstore, and we were very impressed by what we saw.
Besides the fact that the book downloads are very hefty in size, making for a pretty lengthy download time over Wi-Fi, the content is great for education. Kids in school are going to learn a lot, and best of all, they're going to enjoy doing so.
Check inside for our hands-on demonstration of E.O. Wilson's Life on Earth — one of Apple's flagship textbooks to demonstrate the power of textbooks on iPad...
Apple's ongoing Education media event located at NYC's Guggenheim Museum is all about learning, and facing the challenges in the field of education today.
Apple unveiled some slides that paint a pretty startling picture about the state of the United States’ educational system when compared to other places in the world, citing overflowing class sizes and lack of enough textbooks, among other dire problems.
With all of this in mind, Apple is trying to help — and it's no surprise that the iPad is at the center of two initiatives — one of them is to reinvent textbooks. iBooks 2 is at the center of the reinvention process...
As is the case with any desirable piece of technology, the iPad has been the unfortunate subject of more than a few scams in its time, and a new one has come to light in Canada recently.
According to reports, some unlucky buyers have picked up new iPad 2 units from some Best Buy, Future Shop, Walmart and London Drugs stores only to find that the boxes do not actually contain iPads as expected, but rather a giant grey slab of modelling clay.
It's not even a nice color...
By now, most of you are familiar with the jailbreak application known as IntelliScreenX. The utility, which only works on devices running iOS 5.0+, was introduced by Intelliborn in mid-October last year.
Well, planetbeing, who is a member of the so-called dream team of hackers working on the A5 jailbreak, just tweeted a photo of IntelliScreenX running on his iPad 2 (shown above)...
We already warned you, but it might be the right time to remind you again that iPhone 4S and iPad 2 owners should update to iOS 5.0.1 asap, should they want to be able to jailbreak, when that A5 jailbreak is released.
According to recent reports, the Corona exploit has been patched in iOS 5.1. This means the upcoming jailbreak will probably work on iOS 5.0.1 only, and if Apple released iOS 5.1 before the jailbreak is released, then you might get out of luck and unable to jailbreak. BigBoss explains:
If you haven't figured it out by now, this whole A5 jailbreak thing is kind of a big deal. The entire jailbreak community has its eyes on pod2g and the rest of the "Dream Team" as they finish up their work on the highly anticipated exploit.
iPhone 4S users are now going on three months without a jailbreak, and iPad 2 owners who upgraded to iOS 5 last summer are going on 7. But it looks like we won't have to wait much longer, as pod2g says the A5 jailbreak is just days away...
We know, we know, the wait is killing us, but all we have to relieve the tension is a few tweets from the "Dream Team" of iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for A5 devices, namely the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.
The latest update is a tweet from planetbeing revealing that the A5 jailbreak is out of the sandbox, which means we should see the jailbreak released very soon...
