4.3.2 & 4.2.7 (Verizon) have arrived. Jailbreakers and Ultrasn0w Users Beware

Well we all knew that it was coming, just not this soon. Today Apple has released it's newest update to the iOS firmware version 4.3.2 for the iPhone 4 (GSM) iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad and 3rd and 4th generation iPod touch, as well as 4.2.7 for iPhone 4 (CDMA) and iPad 2 (CDMA) Verizon products.

This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

● Fixes an issue that occasionally caused blank or frozen video during a FaceTime call ● Fixes an issue that prvented some international users from connecting to 3G networks on iPad W-Fi + 3G

● Contains the latest security updates

As always if you are have a jailbroken device make certain to back up your SHSH Blobs via Tiny Umbrella, as well as stay away from this update if you are a Ultrasn0w unlocker. As @Musclenerd stated in a recent tweet:

"Apple sure is aggressively patching these untethered jailbreaks lately (but that's still better than lawsuits)."

Stay tuned for updates as more is known about todays newest firmware release.

Glasses-Free 3D on the iPad 2

The Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble at EHCI Research Group have some pretty impressive things going on behind their walls. Using head-tracking technology and the iPad's front facing camera and basic 3D graphics, they have created a glasses-free 3D experience that uses the camera and movements of the user's head in front of the screen.

We have seen similar success with the Nintendo Wii and essentially this is doing the same thing. The 3D graphics change accordingly to the position of the user creating the illusion of the 2D objects moving on the iPad. There is no ETA as to when this will hit the iPad and is strictly in development, impressive none the less.

A "Settled' Rebel lives to Ra1n another day.

In what many view as an unexpected turn of events Sony vs George Hotz, aka Geohot have reached a courtroom settlement. Known for his unmatched skills at jailbreaking iDevices, releasing such tools as Blackra1n and Limera1n, as well as his newest feat exploiting the Sony PS3 (for the second time). The litigation process has been on going on for the past few weeks finially coming to a rest a few hours ago.

In a statement from Sony and Geohot "The parties reached an agreement in principle on March 31, 2011... As part of the settlement, Hotz consented to a permanent injunction."

Hotz then later added “It was never my intention to cause any users trouble or to make piracy easier.”

What does this mean for the future of Hackers that are prosecuted by large corporations is yet to be known, however; it cant look to good when Hotz consented to a permanent injunction after being prosecuted for what Sony is calling "illegal activity". Could this settlement be the cornerstone to future courtroom prosecutions? Time will tell.

4.3.2 ...... Already??

Apple released 4.3.1 roughly 2 weeks ago. It contained various "fixes" to the iOS software including:

Fixed graphics glitches on 4th Gen iPod Touch

Baseband updates for the 3GS and iPad (original)

Fixed memory hang that results in memory corruption when reading large files from USIM filesystem

Fixed problem with NTLM authentication in apps and on websites

Fixed issue with the Springboard and 3rd party apps not recognizing the gyroscope on the iPad 2

Resolves bugs related to activating and connecting to some cellular networks

Fixes image flicker when using Apple Digital AV Adapter with some TVs

Resolves an issue authenticating with some enterprise web services

Changes the behaviour of the battery percentage

AND as most of us know @i0n1c with the help of the Dev Team released the ONLY public jailbreak tools RedSn0w and Pwnage Tool for Mac OS X and with the help of @iH8sn0w an update to his Custom ISPW Creator sn0wbreeze was released for Windows. Which is all well and good.... unless you own an iPad 2 in which case your there is not a current jailbreak tool for. .... there is peace again in the community. Users have changed their constant bombardment of requests to focus on Unlock Tools (ie UltraSn0w) and Cydia App compatibility issues with the new Apple Firmware. (Some things never change.)

Which leads us back to the rumor mill, and Apples release of iOS 4.3.2 in the next couple of weeks (Save those SHSH blobs now people !! TinyUmbrella) Will we see a jump to iOS 4.3.2? GREAT SCOTT I hope not, it will be nothing more than bug fixes and security patches. Hopefully this won't send us into another Jailbreak drought for those who haven't yet Jailbroken on an earlier release. The real prize will be seeing what iOS 5 looks like and how much it has changed structurally. Word on the street is that developers will get that as soon as its rumored debut at WWDC this June 6th in San Francisco. In the meantime, and as always, stay away from 4.3.2 until deemed safe by the community.

Dev Team Releases Pwnage Tool 4.3

A few mintues ago the Dev Team released Pwnage Tool 4.3 for the 4.3.1 firmware on all devices except the iPad 2.

"Three years ago (almost to the day!), the first version of PwnageTool was released for firmware 1.1.4. So today we’re excited to release another edition of both PwnageTool and redsn0w to bring an untethered jailbreak for Apple’s latest firmware, FW 4.3.1."

This new tool for a jailbreak also comes with the a warning to Ultrasn0w Unlock users.

"WARNING WARNING — ultrasn0w users don’t update yet! We need to first release an update to ultrasn0w that fixes some incompatibilities when FW 4.3.1 is used on the older basebands supported by ultrasn0w. And remember once we do fix ultrasn0w for 4.3.1 (we’ll announce it here and on twitter), you must only get there via a custom IPSW from PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze or xpwn! Don’t ever try to restore or update to a stock IPSW, or you’ll lose the unlock!"

You can download these new Jailbreak tools from the Dev Teams Blog here.

UNLOCKERS BEWARE 4.3.1

While we all wait for Dev Team to release the 4.3.1 Jailbreak tonight via Pwnage Tool and RedSn0w, users of Ultrasn0w and older basebands for unlocks have been warned to stay away from the new firmware until patches have been made fixing some compatibility issues.

"ultrasn0w unlockers remember: please stay away until we get a chance to fix the problems 4.3.1 has with older basebands" -@MuscleNerd

Stay tuned as the Jailbreak will be released shortly.

A fully protective iPad 2 case that emulates the Apple Smart Cover

I love the functionality that the Smart Cover provides for the iPad 2, the only drawback I can find is that it doesn't protect the back of the device. As it turns out the people at XenGadget have a solution for that. An iPad 2 Case that emulates the Smart Cover while keeping your device snug and scratch free, some piece of mind for the discounted price of $34.95.

A company has provided a solution to Googles April Fools Joke "Gmail Motion" by using a Xbox Kinect and some clever coding.
