It really is simpler than Blackra1n, see for yourself below.

As you may have already heard or seen, the iPad jailbreak for the first firmware available, 3.2, was released last night at around 7 p.m eastern time.

Now this jailbreak is easier than Blackra1n because it is just a one-button procedure and there is no “Spirit” icon that spams your springboard.

Now this is also a jailbreak for any iDevice on 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 but there is no unlock, as it is only an untethered jailbreak, unlock will come later.

The video at the top of this post explains how to do everything and the downloads for the Spirit application can be found on the Downloads page.

This video displays a developer apparently showing an iPhone application called Wi-Fi Sync that will enable users to wirelessly sync their iPhones and iPod touches with their computers or laptops via a local Wi-Fi network.

This app promises a complete sync of your iPhone or iPod touch with iTunes without having to tether or any other hardships. This could come in handy in a variety of times, it will also solve a lot of hassle.

The application will require a separate syncing application to be installed on the user’s computer. This will be available for only Mac OS X at first but a Windows version is already under development.

The developer said that he wants to put this in the App Store later on this week, hopefully Apple accepts and doesn’t have an issue with it. If any issue show up where Apple claims to have wanted that in their 4.0 firmware or something similar, then we may find this as just being available in Cydia for all you jailbroken users out there.

Gizmodo claims to have their hands on the next iPhone, the iPhone 4. They claim it was found lost in a bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS since it had a 3GS case on it.

To me this iPhone just looks like one of those prototypes from China that everyone on the internet reports to be the next iPhone. I’m not saying that this isn’t the real thing, I’m just saying that I would not be surprised if Apple were to change up the design and the software on the device since it has now been leaked. Now if this iPhone does indeed have 2 cameras (one on the front for iChat and one on the back) that would definitely change the phone game for good.

Some more things that seemed odd in this finding were that if this guy really did have a prototype of the next iPhone, why would he even have it in public? Think about it, if this holds the mystery to so many people across the world, I would highly doubt he would bring it out in public and then to leave it there? This seems really, really fishy to me and probably a lot of the other reporters out there.

The reasons I think it is real is because it looks very well built and it doesn’t look like somebody trying to fake it would be able to pull something this big off like that. The way the inside of the iPhone looks, it is actually pretty promising, the way the SD slot looks all the way to the camera on the inside (as seen below).

Again, these are just my thoughts, I could be right or I could be wrong.

Here is some of the info that Gizmodo claims has changed and what is new.

What’s new

• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It’s unclear if it’s the 960×460 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the “Connect to iTunes” screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What’s changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound

• An aluminum border going completely around the outside

• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

Apple has just release new firmware 3.1.3 and you know that means a new jailbreak is coming sometime soon, but this article is to inform you about the new features/fixes. One thing is that the iPhone 3GS will have better accuracy for the battery level, a problem where third-party programs would sometimes not launch, and a bug that could cause an application to crash when using the Japanese Kana keyboard.

Also, there are some security patches in the release, such as a CoreAudio fix to guard against maliciously crafted MP4 files, an ImageIO patch that similarly protects against malicious crafted TIFF images, improved handling in certain USB control messages to prevent someone with physical access to the phone from accessing private data using the device’s recovery mode, and some patches for WebKit that deal with HTML Mail messages and maliciously crafted FTP servers.

The file is around 291MB  and can be downloaded when you plug your device in and click install and update.

One of the biggest complaints so far about Apple’s new iPad tablet device is that there is lack of support for Flash content, a limitation also placed on the iPhone. When Steve Jobs was presenting the iPad at the January 27th Apple Event, he opened up web pages that had the “broken plug-in” icon and that’s when people realized that nothing has been done with flash still.

Well, the web browsing showed in the iPad promotional video showed a few web pages and there was flash running on the page, no “broken plug-in” icon appeared at all. This suggesting that either that the iPad device used in the video supports Flash or that Apple has manipulated the promotional video in order to hide the fact that the iPad does not support Flash, either way, it’s a mystery as of right now.

This could mean that Apple is hiding the fact that the device does have flash or that a later model of the device will include flash, only time will tell.

The Apple Tablet has been the big talk around Apple for quite some time now, people thought it would come last year, some people thought it would never come at all.

Well, Steve Jobs did announce this Apple Tablet today January 27th 2010, named the ‘iPad’(There are lots of pictures at the bottom of the post). This device is very sleek and the specs are: .5 inches thin, 1.5 pounds — 9.7 inch IPS display, Available in 16GB, 32, 64, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Full capacitive multi-touch, accelerometer, compass, speaker, microphone, and it has over a month of standby timeAnd it has over a month of standby time.

The iPad has a price tag of $499 for 16GB of iPad. That’s our base model. 32GB is $599, 64GB is $799. 3G models cost an extra $130. $629, 729, and 829 with 3G and an unlimited data plan for $29.99 a month on no contract, it is prepaid. These will be shipping out in 60 days. 3G models will ship in 90 days.

With this device, you can do everything you could do on the iPhone 3GS, maps, iTunes, Youtube, Safari, everything! The iPad will run the same apps as the iPhone and iPod Touch but just with a bigger screen and different controls. The only upsetting part is that there is still no flash on this device, which means that you most likely will not be able to run some programs or torrents.

The menu’s pop down from the top by dragging your finger, which is quite nifty. The e-mail and typing in itself is very responsive and looks absolutely fantastic! Here is an image below.

If you own a Mac, you can get events, places, and faces from iPhoto onto there as well, the slideshow effect is quite nice I might add.

iWork 2010 will also be available to use on the iPad and it looks fantastic! Tons of ways to use your data, here are some images of iWork running on the iPad:

There will be more info coming on this soon, so stay tuned, more pictures are below.

Here are some games being played on the iPad:

It’s pretty hard to believe that CES got hardly any talk this year, this means something is coming. A lot of companies spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to showcase their new products at CES and still, the majority of people did not go because there wasn’t anything Apple there because they have their own event, which is on the 27th of this month.

HotHardware says that AT&T may be losing it’s iPhone exclusivity as early as Wednesday at Apple’s media event where the Tablet is supposed to be announced

According to an inside source close to the going-ons involved in all of this, a new tablet of some sort may not be the only thing on deck for next Wednesday though. We have been led to believe by an inside source that AT&T will lose their iPhone exclusivity on the same day, though it’s not yet clear what other carrier (or carriers) will be stepping in to also carry the phone.

So is this possible that the new iPhone will be announced for more carriers?

This rumor of the iPhone going to Verizon or some other carriers is expected to expire in mid 2010. While the announcement of a Verizon-compatible iPhone definitely  seems possible sometime this year, we’re not sure how it would fit in with what is believed to be an event focused solely on the new Apple Tablet.

New reports just came through saying that the design for the Apple Tablet is similar to all the concepts made by people a while back  but with even more similarities to the iPhone. The buttons and features are said to be almost identical to the newest iPhone, the iPhone 3GS.

Here are the details:

Nestled in an aluminum shell that leverages the Apple’s expertise in unibody construction but thinner proportionality than the original iPhone, the tablet reportedly sports all of the same buttons found on the handset, right down to its iconic home button — which, like the volume toggle, is missing from the rendering.

Similarly, the tablet is said to sport all the same in/out connectivity as the current iPhone 3GS, including a 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack, built-in speaker grills, a microphone, GPS, 3G connectivity and a 30-pin dock connector. Like the rendering, its 10-inch display is framed by a black border that bleeds into its wrap-around aluminum enclosure.

Also, this Tablet may be compatible with CDMA wireless networks such as Verizon’s network, which would be really suprising although this is not confirmed just yet. More details will come about this Apple Tablet in the near future.

Google plans on buying mobile advertising provider ‘AdMob’ for $750 million in stock.

AdMob is a huge ad company ,probably the biggest after Google Adsense. AdMob is seen a lot on the Android Operating System’s applications and even in the App Store for Apple.

AdMob is said to still be in its early stages and that it has a lot more things in store for the upcoming years. Could this take over the top spot in advertising over Google Adsense? I do not think so because Adsense gets helped a lot from youtube and AdMob is not incorperated with Youtube yet.

AdMob has always focused more on ads for applications rather than in a web browser or on web pages but that can change once Google takes ownership. The acquisition shows just how serious Google is about mobile and about display advertising, said Greg Sterling of Sterling Market Intelligence.

This is a huge acquisition for Google since AdMob was their biggest rival in the whole advertising game.

Also, Google’s competitors including Yahoo, AOL and Microsoft have also recently made acquisitions of mobile advertising companies, I am curious as to what those may be and the functionality of them.

Both Google and AdMob have approved the acquisition and it is now a done deal.
