The white iPhone 4 has been delayed a number of times since June 24. Last we heard was that it would be released “this year” with no specific time scale of when this year it would arrive.

It seems like one though has been smuggled out of the factory looking at some pictures found over at MIC Gadget. Before we get too carried away here though, it’s important to remember that some companies offer white iPhone 4 conversion kits although there have still been a few official white iPhone 4’s spotted here and there.

We wrote about getting iPhone flash working earlier this morning. When we first came across Frash (the iPhone version of Flash), we came across a set of instructions with 8 steps to complete the installation process. The steps required you download the software, log in to you iPhone via SSH, enter a username and password along with port numbers as well as a bunch of other things.

Thankfully a more simple install process has already arrived thanks to a Cydia Repo. Rather than going through the whole process of SSH’ing in to your iPhone from a Mac, you can now simply do it in 3 or so steps. We say “or so” as jailbreaking is a requirement as well as tapping on the Cydia icon to load it up with the latter not really being a step as such.

Either way, jailbreak if you haven’t, open Cydia and add the following…

According to TechCrunch, we could be seeing the iPhone land on the Verizon [VZ] network in January. The reasons for this are related to tracking what components are in demand. In the case of the iPad, large 9.7 inch screens were being built which helped give some of the details away.

What we hear now is that Apple [AAPL] has placed an order for a large amount of CDMA chips. As the iPhone 4 and other models do not currently use CDMA, it is believed that they are being purchased for the Verizon iPhone 4. TechCrunch also go on to say that the iPhone 4 will arrive on Verizon in January 2011. [Read more…]

Earlier this week the iPhone 4 jailbreak was released. The new jailbreak for iPhone doesn’t require that you tether your phone to your computer to run it. Instead, you just load up a website in Safari on the iPhone and slide a button that jailbreaks the iPhone from the browser (thanks to a PDF exploit).

To show how easy it is to perform the jailbreak, someone managed to capture a video of himself jailbreaking an iPhone 4 demo model in an Apple [AAPL] store. [Read more…]

Apple [AAPL] has already managed to patch the security hole found in the iPhone 4 PDF function. This particular security hole allows software such as Jailbreakme to work that in turn, allows you to run the iPhone 4 jailbreak although there is also the possibility that malicious code could also be injected in to iOS with the security hole in place.

Apple will be releasing iOS 4.1 soon which will include a security fix within the PDF feature. In turn, this will also prevent the jailbreak from working for those who update to iOS 4.1.

Apple said in a statement… “We’re aware of this reported issue, we have already developed a fix and it will be available to customers in an upcoming software update.” [Read more…]

The Clear iSpot is a mobile 4G hotspot designed to allow smartphones and tablets to connect to the internet at 4G speeds.

The device is designed for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and when those devices connect over a WiFi connection, they are then capable of accessing the internet at 4G speeds rather than the 3G speeds that currently can restrict them.

The iSpot is capable of allowing up to eight wireless devices to connect up to it and has been optimised for Apple [AAPL] products. We are not sure what that exactly means, but we assume any WiFi device with a fast enough connection will be able to get the same benefits from it. [Read more…]

It was revealed this week that the iPhone 4 jailbreak uses an exploit found in the PDF code. When a web browser opens a PDF file, it allows code to be injected and executed which in turn, allows the jailbreak to happen. On the downside, the flaw in the PDF code also will allow malicious websites to link to PDF websites for other code to be injected that can actually cause harm to your iPhone 4.

Apple [AAPL], as expected, is looking in to the issue and we assume that by the time the iOS 4.1 update arrives in a few weeks time that the hole will be sealed preventing the iPhone 4 jailbreak in it’s current form from working for those who upgrade to iOS 4.1. [Read more…]

Earlier this week Comex released the iPhone 4 jailbreak. Today, the iPhone Dev Team has released the iPhone 4 unlock that allows users to easily switch carriers.

The unlock comes thanks to ultrasn0w which has been updated to include support for unlocking the iPhone 4.

The version is 1.0-1 and it is compatible with the iPhone 4 baseband 01.59 along with the iPhone 3G and 3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04. [Read more…]

The iPhone 4 Jailbreak launched yesterday in the form of a site you load up on your Safari browser on the iPhone. A small file is downloaded at that point which then can exploit the iPhone and allow access to install Cydia etc…

The exploit used takes advantage of an automatic PDF download in iOS that the jailbreak can inject jailbreak code and when you use the slide to jailbreak slider, the jailbreak code is executed that opens up the iPhone to be exploited.

The downside of this is that the vulnerability can also be opened up to malicious intent in that you could visit a website, click a button for example, and have executable code injected in to iOS that has a different agenda to what jailbreaking does. [Read more…]

The iPhone 4 jailbreak launched yesterday and along with that launch came an even easier way to jailbreak your device. Rather than downloading an app on to your PC or Mac, you simply visit a website in Safari on your iPhone 4, slide a slide to jailbreak button and away it goes.

This simple approach to jailbreaking the iPhone 4 means that even the in store demo units at Apple stores can be jailbroken as demoed in the video below.

The jailbreak was done by an Apple [AAPL] fan who visited a local Apple store and captured the whole process on camera. [Read more…]

Google [GOOG] Android smartphones are outselling the Apple [AAPL] iPhone in the US according to a recent report by analyst group Nielsen.

In terms of percentages, the number of smartphones sold this year using Google Android accounted for 27% of all smartphone sales. The Apple iPhone accounted for 23 percent of sales.

“While the iPhone has been the headline grabber over the last few years in the smartphone market, Google’s Android OS has shown the most significant expansion in market share among current subscribers,” writes Nielsen on its blog.
