Seems like progress is being made with the iOS 4.1 jailbreak. The Chronic Dev-Team is behind this one who posted a very brief update on the GreenPois0n tool that they are launching.

The tool is designed to jailbreak all iOS 4.1 devices as well as past versions of iOS.

Many people in the comments are asking for a progress update. Any kind of update that we could actually give would be too technical for anyone to understand anyway, not to mention potentially reveal the exploit. Just know that things are going swimmingly and we are working as hard as we can.

The Einstein Project is expanding further and will be soon pushing out a Newton OS emulator app for the iPhone. The Einstein Project has been running since 2004 and has a goal of bringing the Newton OS (from Apple) on to various platforms. As the iPhone is believed by some to be the grandson of the Newton, it kind of makes sense that the old Newton OS should be made compatible with the iPhone.

The team behind it has managed to get it working (as seen in the video below). The Newton OS on iPhone is running a little slow at the moment although speed increases are expected over the coming months.

We also hear that Newton OS will be made compatible with the iPod touch and iPad through emulation. It isn’t clear if Apple [AAPL] will approve the app, and it is likely that they might not. However, if it does go ahead then it would be worth grabbing it just for fun and to see how the old Apple tablet worked around 20 years ago. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] will launch AirPrint in November this year. The AirPrint software will be part of iOS 4.2 that will bring muiltitasking and printing to the iPad.

If you don’t want to wait a few more months for wireless printing abilities then go and checkout the PrintJinni application that has been designed to print documents to Epson hardware.

The application costs $7 to purchase and once up and running, allows you to read various types of documents from various email services.

The app supports Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, MobileMe, AOL, and other IMAP-based e-mail accounts. Users can download, display, preview, and print e-mail attachments while maintaining accurate formatting. PrintJinni also promises easy discovery of supported Epson printer and all-in-one devices over a wireless network.

The iPhone iMovie app has been updated with the launch of iOS 4.1. The latest version of iMovie (version 1.1) has a number of new features that improve on the software. The first is that it is now compatible with the latest iPod touch.

The ability to split clips has also been introduced which was a problem before as you had to keep jumping out of iMove to go to the photos app to split video.

Music looping has been added as well as an In-App tips page. [Read more…]

Earlier this evening (UK time), Apple [AAPL] launched the iOS 4.1 update and it is now ready for download.

To get the update you just need to sync your compatible iPhone with iTunes and click the check for updates button. The process takes around 10 – 15 minutes to download, reboot and install the latest iOS on to the iPhone. Once done, you’ll get HDR photos, access to Game Center and a few other smaller details.

The new iOS version isn’t a major update, but does bring a few handy features to the iPhone. [Read more…]

Nike has created a new Nike+ app for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets users track their running progress without using the external sensor attached to a shoe.

The new app called Nike+ GPS is compatible with the iPhone 4, 3GS and the iPod touch 2nd gen through 4th gen. Of course the iPod touch doesn’t have a GPS sensor. For those with a touch, you’ll be restricted to tracking runs through the accelerometer which means you wont get maps of your run (unless you have an external GPS case). [Read more…]
