The new iPhone 2.2 Firmware debuted today(to developers only). While I like the idea of having quicker access to Google in my iPhone browser. . .I can only imagine how much Apple will rake in from this tiny change alone. I’m curious to see how easy it is to touch the refresh button too.
2.1 has finally been jailbroken(for Windows)!
The iPhone Dev Team has released a version of QuickPwn for windows. And I thought we were going to have to wait until WinPwn3.0
You can click here or here or here(last 1 is a torrent) to download it.
I will be testing it out now on my iPhone(updating it now). I welcome anyone else to take a leap of faith with me as well.
Everyone knows by now how strong the iPhone has become in just a couple of years. It was humorous when Apple said that the iPhone would not be a platform for developers. The ‘hackers’ solved that problem right?
Then Apple got on board and decided to open up the device and finally let people develop legit applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. After 1 month of ‘following Apple’s rules’, they were able to put close to 2000 different applications on the device. In one month alone they had over 30 million in revenue and had served(1 million per day), and 60 million downloads. Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch said
And I’m not the only one who thinks that these apps are going to hit a saturation point real soon. And then it will become clear that the killer apps on the iPhone are the same as on your computer: email and the browser.
So why hasn’t there been any killer apps released in the App Store?
Check past the video for details on how to win your own BodyGuardz cover/skin.
I was sent a box of 2 protective covers for the 1st generation iPhone to test out from BodyGuardz.com.
I love the idea of these covers. I’m not a fan of putting a thick case on my device for protection, which makes it so bulky. I have seen these BodyGuardz covers go through some stress tests and withstand a key trying to be pushed through it. Now I doubt my pocket will do nearly that much damage. . .but that alone makes me feel safe when I toss it on the table or throw it in my pocket.
Who else is impressed with the 2.1 update? Now if they only released the official jailbreak for Windows.
So Winpwn 3.0 hasn’t come out yet. . .BUT there is a jailbreak for windows NOW!!!
