Sn0wbreeze v2.8b11 Released – Supports iOS 5.0.1
0November 11, 2011
iOS 5.0.1 was Apple’s answer to the battery problems plaguing iOS 5. Although, it has been reported that iOS 5.0.1 doesn’t seem to be fixing the problem at all. iOS 5.0.1 also plugs up some important jailbreak exploits that hackers are working on using to develop the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. Since it plugs up those exploits, Pod2g recommended not upgrading so that you can remain on the firmware that will support the untethered jailbreak when it comes out. If, however, you’re too late and you’ve installed iOS 5.0.1 and are having trouble downgrading, you can still have a More >

Unlock Your Windows Phone 7 With ChevronWP7 Labs
1November 5, 2011
The enthusiast developers at ChevronWP7 have released their inexpensive Windows Phone unlocking tool, ChevronWP7 Labs. This tool provides users with a way to inexpensively “developer unlock” their device, providing them with two key capabilities:
- Inexpensively run self-created apps on a physical device — Normally, budding developers would need to pay for Microsoft’s expensive ($99 per year) developer program, App Hub for Windows Phone 7, to run self-made apps on a physical device. (Enthusiast developers can run self-made apps for free in an emulator.) But ChevronWP7 Labs provides More >
Sn0wbreeze 2.8b10 Released – Jailbreaks iOS 5.0.1 Beta 2
0November 5, 2011
Apple recently released iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 to developers via an over-the-air update or the Apple Developer iOS Dev Center. You can use the current version of redsn0w 0.9.9b8 to jailbreak this beta as long as you point to the previous 5.0.1 IPSW file. Chances are the iPhone Dev-Team will update redsn0w to alleviate the need to point to the old IPSW file, however no new version of redsn0w has been released yet. Nonetheless, sn0wbreeze has been updated to do so.
iH8sn0w recently tweeted that he has updated sn0wbreeze to support iOS 5.0.1 beta 2.
He provided a changelog which can More >
HP Offers 32GB TouchPads To webOS Developers for $150
0
Even though HP said that it was out of TouchPads, it looks like there’s a few left for developers to purchase via their Developer Device Purchase Program. HP is offering up to two 32GB TouchPads for $149.99 each, as long as you send in a request for this discount coupon by November 18th.
The future of webOS may still be up in the air, but it looks like HP is at least still making a small effort to keep the developers interested.
The purchase has to be completed by November 27th, assuming stocks last that long — ever since the TouchPad fire sales began back in late August, the device More >
Audio Issues Plague iPhone 4S Users

The battery woes and random Siri outages aren’t the only issues that iPhone 4S users seem to be experiencing. Over the course of this past week, there has been a growing number of complaints in Apple’s support forums regarding problems with echoes on the iPhone 4S when used with a headset, all of which typically end up degrading over the duration with the conversation.
One of the many threads on the issue has reached 17 pages of posts with a number of users reporting the same issue on a variety of different phone models and carriers. Here is what one of the thread users had More >
Apple Releases iOS 5.0.1 Beta 2 To Developers
0November 4, 2011
Apple seeded iOS 5.0.1 beta 2 to developers today. This update came roughly two days after the first iOS 5.0.1 beta.
If you are signed-up developer you’ll be getting this update over the air. Or, you could head on over to the iOS Developer Center and download it without waiting. This version is identified by codename 9A404, while yesterdays release was 9A402, and more than likely the changes between the two are rather tiny.
The fixes, which include those introduced in iOS 5.0.1 beta 1, are:
- Fixes bugs affecting battery life
- Adds Multitasking Gestures for original More >
