iOS 5 already jailbroken

| June 7, 2011 11:20 UTC | 0 comments |

MuscleNerd just tweeted that the iOS 5 beta that was released yesterday, has now been jailbroken. MuscleNerd confirmed this on his twitter, by showing the image you see embedded above. You’ll see Cydia and iSSH together with the iOS 5 only app Newsstand.

Limera1n + tethered boot seemed to do the trick on a 4th generation iPod touch with iOS 5 beta. Apple can of course still plug this security hole before the final release.

Here is the tweet:

Apple gearing for a "One more thing" announcement at WWDC?

| June 6, 2011 16:11 UTC | 0 comments | source

The Apple World Wide Developer’s Conference is about to begin. We know for a fact that Apple will announce the next version of both the desktop operating system and iOS. Their new iCloud service will also be announced. Some one who’s on site managed to take the pic you see above. It is clearly a banner, but why is it covered? Could Apple be prepeared for a “one more thing” announcement at the end of the keynote? The famous One More Thing has previously been used to announce, for ins the iPod Touch, iPod Shuffle, MacBook Pro

iCloud to be free at first, later $25 a year

| June 3, 2011 12:09 UTC | 0 comments | source

Apple iCloud icon OS X

Los Angeles Times reported today that Apple’s iCloud service will be free for a limited time. They didn’t state how long this will be, but it is intended as a free introductory offer. Apple will start to charge $25 per year for the service when the free-tier is over. The iCloud service will also be ad-supported. So even though you are paying $25 a year, you will still be seeing ads. DropBox and Microsoft’s Skydrive are both totally free of charge.

We will know much more next Monday, June 6, afterApple’s WWDC keynote. We will see iCloud, iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion announced at this keynote.

iCloud logo revealed – Banners go up ahead of WWDC

| June 3, 2011 06:55 UTC | 1 comment | source

Apple is set to reveal Mac OS X Lion, iOS 5 and iCloud. iCloud will be Apple’s new cloud service, most probably replacing MobileMe with more features and better integration.

I find it interesting to see that the new iOS logo still has the same old waterdrop background as seen in the previous iOS versions. Seems like a true weather blend with extreme Sahara dryness (Mac OS X Lion), rain (iOS 5) and cloudy (iCloud), for this year’s WWDC!

Thousands of iOS devices bricked due to Apple's Activation Server failure

| May 14, 2011 14:17 UTC | 0 comments | source

Several users have found their iOS device bricked after applying a firmware update. The update goes through well, but after the update it should call back home to get activated, and this is where the problems begin.

Apple’s Activation Servers are currently offline. After the update the device can’t be activated, thus resulting in a bricked device. This is also a problem with new devices, since they also need to be activated before a user can actually use them.

The error message shown in iTunes:

There is a problem with your device.

We’re sorry, the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information. To find your nearest Apple Store, click here.

At the time of writing this post, Apple hasn’t given a schedule on when the problem should be fixed. DO NOT upgrade your device’s firmware before Apple gets this sorted!!
