Yesterday, Musclenerd over on Twitter posted a screen shot of the new Pwnage Tool. The Pwnage Tool is compatible with a whole range of iOS device and includes the iPhone 4, 3G, 3GS as well as the iPod touch 2G, 3G and 4G and on to the iPad and Apple TV.

Each of the devices needs to be running iOS 4.1 or 3.2.2 for the iPad for this tool to work with. [Read more…]

BGR has heard a couple of interesting things recently that indicate a second model of the iPhone 4 has just hit AP testing while the iPhone 5 has supposedly hit the EVT stage. We’ll explain in a moment what that means.

The new iPhone 4 is codenamed 3,2 and is believed to be a CDMA version of the phone that will allow it to land on networks such as Verizon [VZ]. The AP stage is the very last stage of testing before a product goes to the manufacturer ready for release.

BGR point out 3 scenarios which reveal that the phone could be compatible with all networks and include a SIM card. The next scenario is that the phone isn’t CDMA at all, but instead is a hardware variation (perhaps to secure potential jailbreak holes) but also fix the antenna issue that some users reposted (OK, many users). The final scenario is relating to CDMA again but this time it has a SIM slot to be compatible with roaming in other countries. This last stage doesn’t seem like an Apple sort of thing to do.

The Apple [AAPL] app store has just hit the 300,000 apps mark according to VentureBeat. The 300,000 number includes both free and paid apps for iOS devices.

The actual number of apps, according to the report, is 300,975 which adds around 50,000 since August when Apple announced the store was at 250,000. That means in about 2 months Apple has managed to add a good chunk of apps to the app store. [Read more…]

Pocket-Lint spotted a white iPhone 4 the other day at a press event. When speaking with the owner of the phone it seems to be that Apple [AAPL] has delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 due to the white not being correct. For example, the white home button isn’t the same color as the white used for the glass.

With Apple being a perfectionist it has decided that it wont release the phone till everything is 100% right. [Read more…]

When Apple [AAPL] rolled out the latest iOS 4.2 beta 3 download yesterday, a few new features were added such as the new SMS ringtones section. This new part doesn’t allow you to put your own ringtones on the iPhone, but a bunch of new message tones are now available.

Thanks to Gizmodo, you can now take a look, or have a listen we should say, to all the new SMS ringtones that you will soon be able to select from. [Read more…]

The Android Police website is reporting that the next version of Android OS could be landing soon. The SDK has been tipped to launch next week for Android 3.0 Gingerbread although the numbering isn’t confirmed as 3.0 just yet.

After Android 2.2 launched, Google [GOOG] started slowing down the Android updates to put them on a 6 monthly basis rather than whenever ready. By doing this they prevent fragmentation that we still see on many Android based devices. [Read more…]

Last time we heard, Geohot had left the iOS jailbreak scene. We now see that he is back and has released Limera1n. Limera1n allows you to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on several devices which includes the iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G all using 4.0-4.1.

The new iOS 4.1 jailbreak uses a different exploit to what the GreenPois0n jailbreak does and because of this, the team behind GreenPois0n (that uses SHAtter), have decided to delay the launch so that Apple [AAPL] doesn’t have the opportunity to patch two exploits. [Read more…]
