Right on schedule , the iPhone Dev Team released this morning a brand new version of Ultrasn0w, its iPhone unlocking tool. On top of supporting the iPhone 4, it’s now also able to fully unlock iPhone 3GS’ and 3G’s on the latest baseband. If you want it, it’s available right now from Cydia on the Ultrasn0w repository : repo666.ultrasn0w.com As usual, make sure to avoid updating your iPhone after that as it will most likely re-lock your iPhone.
On July 10, 2007, a very important exploit to the hacker community was invented; it’s called an iPhone “Jailbreak”. Ever since that day, the term “jailbreaking” has been used so much I wouldn’t be surprised if I found it in the next edition of Webster’s dictionary. Jailbreaking has served many purposes since it was first introduced
For those iPad users that like jailbreaking and wish that they could modify their iPad springboard, beyond what Apple intended, there is now a solution at hand. It has been announced that the popular jailbreak app,Iconoclasm is now available for the Apple tablet. Like its iPhone sister, the iPad allows very little in terms of app icon customization
Apple’s permissive USB connection kit for the iPad can almost be seen as a provocation for iPad hackers of all kinds. I mean, the prospects of such an interface,slightly underutilized by Apple, are huge for those dreaming of hacking it for other purposes. First in line, the possibility to mount external hard drives on the iPad via USB. It’s not easy, as it requires a split USB cable because of power requirements, but it’s still a nice first proof of concept.
