If you have a Verizon iPhone and you have updated the carrier file please let us know what and how much did this change your iPhone, that is if you note any specific changes. You can leave us a comment in the comments section bellow.
Apple has upgraded the iTunes to version 10.2 and this has stirred some rumours about Apple planing measures about jailbroken iPhones.
They have upgraded iTunes in addition to the forthcoming iOS version 4.3 and the new iPad 2. But since Apple always improves in order to make things harder for the jailbreak community, some iPhone jailbreak developers have doubts that Apple could use iTunes to block jailbroken iPhones. Because of this some users don’t want to upgrade their iTunes version at all.
While iPhone users with jailbreak have Cydia as free version of App Store, iTunes is still the only software used for the firmware upgrade, backup, maintenance and almost everything else.
This has prompted developers in the famous Dev Team to work on the development of an alternative to iTunes software which will be tailored to suit users with the jailbreak and unlock on their iPhones.
One of the main members of the Dev Team which is also known as @posixninja, and is one of the main people behind iPhone jailbreaks said in a twitter message, that the Dev Team is working on their alternative iTunes software.
In his tweet to an iPhone jailbreak user he said that they are busy working on this project and that it wont be available for at least next 6 months.
So this project is still in the beginning phase. And in order to accomplish this they will need to solve some complicated issues. This new alternative to iTunes should have similar options like the official version of iTunes including app management, iDevice sync option, media player etc. It should also be able to upgrade and downgrade firmware versions similar to Pwnage tools.
Lets hope they will develop this as soon as possible.
Apple has released a new update to iTunes. The new iTunes version is 10.2
This update will precede the new iOS firmware upgrade 4.3 which will be publicly available on March 11th.
This iTunes will have improved HomeSharing. HomeSharing improves user experience by enabling iPhone users to simply stream content between their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch including their video and audio files.
This iTunes also brings improved security features and it has removed some bugs from previous versions. If you want to upgrade to iOS 4.3 you will need to upgrade your iTunes version too.
All iPhone users with a jailbreak will be glad to hear that this new iTunes is tested and find out to be safe and working with jailbroken devices.
The shift + restore option remains same as in previous versions and it also has DFU mode option. So go ahead and install the new upgrade and of course let us know how did go for you.
You can download iTunes for Mac and Windows for free from Apple’s website.
Greenpois0n released for Mac and Windows user, this version supports firmware 4.2.1 You can upgrade your iphone to latest firmware version and Jailbreak easy now. How to guides and download links available at unlockanyiphone.

Reading PDF files is one of the most common task today on various computing platforms. Whether you are reading some documents, checking email attachments or simply downloading files from internet you will need a good PDF reader. Normally, your iPad would open a PDF with your Safari browser but in many cases this isn’t quite a comfortable solution. Especially if you are using PDF documents more frequently, it would be quite reasonable to find a nice PDF reading app. iTunes offers you a variety of different paid and free apps for this purpose.
Lets see some of the more popular choices among iPad users.
Stanza is an app coming from online bookstore Amazon. Stanza offers a nice integrated dictionary which is quite useful for serious reader. Stanza is well known by the speed with which it renders often demanding PDF files.
GoodReader for iPad is an app that besides reading PDF files can be used to open web pages, increasingly popular open office documents and even audio and video files. Files can be easily transferred from your desktop computer to your iPad through iTunes or directly through your wireless home network. Another useful option is that you can download files from your Google docs account.
GoodReader is overall a great app but it has some drawbacks, the biggest one being it is slow when turning pages. This is especially troublesome when you turn pages in documents heavy with pictures.
My last choice is Cloud Readers. With this free app you can import your files through your wireless home network. It is much more convenient than the previously described app because it renders PDF pages faster and it also has a option called Two Up which helps you to view two pages of your document at once.
The group which calls themselves Chronic Dev Team is preparing a release of a new jailbreak tool which should work with the new iOS 4.2.1 for iPad, iPhone and iPad. The good news is that this jailbreak will be untethered which means you wont need to use the tool every time you reboot your iPhone unlike the Redsn0w tool released earlier by the Dev Team. The group became famous after releasing Greenpois0n for iPhone and iPod on 4.1 and for iPad on the 3.2.2 firmware.
As a proof they have published a video where they demonstrate jailbreaking of an iPhone 4 on 4.2.1 firmware. It is clearly visible from the video that it is indeed a untethered jailbreak.
They didn’t said when exactly will the jailbreak be available but they have promised it will be quite soon.
How badly do you need a new jailbreak?
iPhone owner from Kent, UK was the lucky person who downloaded 10 billionth app from the Apple app store. Gail Davies said it was one of her kids who actually downloaded a free game called Paper Glider. Paper Glider is a highly addictive game developed by Neon PlaySeems. In this game you need to fly a paper planes around the room avoiding ceiling fans and other obstacles by tapping the iphone.
It seems that Ms. Davies hung up the phone after receiving a call from Apple representative as she dismissed whole thing as a practical joke. But after returned call with some more explanation she was more than happy to receive the iTunes gift card with $10,000. It remains to be seen what can a person download to spend such a credit on iTunes.
Apple store has brought a revolution in the area of producing, distributing and selling of software. Today app store offers more than 300,000 different apps for the iPad, iPhone and iPad. iOS enthusiasts can choose among many different apps in a wide range of categories like games, news, social networking, business, productivity tools, health and many other kind of apps.
They are so devoted to the quality of they products and services that they are bringing their innovative thinking to marketing also, like shown in the example above. Great PR for marginal cost. Apple stays Apple, they are certainly at the top for a good reason.
