In case you haven’t heard yet, JailbreakMe 3.0 has already been released, giving you a really easy way to jailbreak your iOS device. Not to mention the only way (so far) to jailbreak the iPad 2. In case you’ve heard about it, then you’ve probably already went to the website, tapped the button twice, and currently have all sorts of unapproved apps and tweaks running on your iOS 4.3.3 device. Heads up then: Apple just said that they’re working to put out a firmware update that’ll patch the PDF exploit used by JailbreakMe 3.0.
In case you (those of you who own iPhones, at least) didn’t notice, Apple just released the final iOS 4.0.1 update that’s been hanging around the Apple dev page for a few days now. What does it do? Well, it’ll fix your signal bars like they said. Or at least fix how it’ll look. And no, it still won’t fix the antenna issue.
Hankering to get a little bit of the new iPhone 4’s feel but you don’t want to ditch your older iPhone yet? Apple finally released their iOS 4 software update, bringing along a lot of new features for your older iPhone (as long as it’s a 3G or 3GS), including multitasking, folders, an improved email app, and an overall better-looking interface among others.
Microsoft just put up their Windows Live Messenger app on iTunes. It’s free, so if you need an IM app for the Windows Live network, you can get it here. There really shouldn’t be anything more to it past that, but if you need the details (and you should; just because it’s free there’s no reason to download it if you don’t use it, right?), Windows Live can also link up with Yahoo!, letting you talk to YM-based contacts, and it also features status updates from social networking sites such as Facebook, Flickr and MySpace if you need to stay “updated” while chatting on IM, and allows for photo uploads and sharing. Windows Live Messenger for iPhone is compatible with any iPhone (including the new iPhone 4), iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 3 or later.
Good news for the large number of people who held onto their Nokia E71 handsets after Nokia unveiled the E72: The company’s Ovi Maps 3.0 walk and drive navigation app that was made totally free of charge a few months ago, has now been extended to support the older E71 and E66 phones.
