Jailbreak on iOS 4.2 will be untethered. Possible delay due to Cydia compatibility.

By Farbod, Tuesday, Nov 2, 2010 a 8:23 pm

Comex has announced on his Twitter feed that iOS 4.2 will be an untethered jailbreak. While current devices can be exploited and jailbroken for their lifespan without the possibility of a patch, the ability of the jailbreak being untethered was still at issue.

An untethered jailbreak differs from a tethered jailbreak in that a tethered jailbreak must be connected with a computer after each and every reboot of the device. Comex has developed userland exploits for Star, Limera1n, and Greenpois0n, keeping them all untethered.

redsn0w beta Jailbreak for iPhone3G, iPod touch 2 on iOS 4.1, 4.0

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 a 7:49 am

The Dev-Team have released a redsn0w beta Jailbreak for iPhone3G, iPod touch 2 on iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.0.

It uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that we’ve been using since the 2.x days. It does not include the SHAtter exploit developed by pod2g. Nothing new is revealed to Apple with this jailbreak.

If you use the ultrasn0w unlock, they tell you to wait for pwnagetool as redsn0w requires you to update with Apple's firmware which might shut down the possibility for you to unlock "forever".

No iOS 4.2 AirPrint for iPhone 3G

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Sep 15, 2010 a 2:42 pm

No iOS 4.2 AirPrint wireless printing for iPhone 3G owners, according to Apple:

Printing is available only on iOS devices that support multitasking.

Which iPhone 3G does not.

So add AirPrint to the list, along with wallpapers, fast app switching, HDR photos, and the rest, and how much further behind is the 2008 flagship falling?

No HDR photography for iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS?

By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Sep 7, 2010 a 10:54 am

While we won't know for absolutely certain until the final release version of iOS 4.1 for iPhone arrives sometime this week (maybe Wednesday), it's looking like HDR photography will be exclusive to iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4, and not available for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users.

iOS 4.1 to fix proximity sensor, Bluetooth, and iPhone 3G performance bugs

By Rene Ritchie, Wednesday, Sep 1, 2010 a 3:00 pm

Steve Jobs began his introduction of iOS 4.1 for iPhone and iPod touch not by listing the new features, but by listing the bugs it fixes -- proximity sensor, Bluetooth, and iPhone 3G.

Each of those were annoying enough to be near deal-breakers for some, so their being fixed is certainly good news. Finally.

Jobs: Performance fix for iOS 4 on iPhone 3G coming soon

By Rene Ritchie, Saturday, Aug 21, 2010 a 7:48 am

Steve Jobs has purportedly told a beleaguered iPhone 3G user that an iOS 4 performance boost is coming soon via software update. Here's the complaint:

I've waited patiently through 4.0.1 and 4.0.2, looking for a fix that will make my phone work again. I've read the forums that advise me to jailbreak my phone or use some other method so I can downgrade back to a version of iPhone 3, however I'm not prepared to use a method that is not supported by Apple.

And the reply from Steve Jobs:

Software update coming soon.
