Get some Dropbox love, the update is there.

Ka — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 09:59:58 +0000

Just a quick post to notify whoever doesn’t check the Appstore at least 4 times a day (for updates or new apps) that a new version of Dropbox (what a good service this is!) has been posted to the Appstore yesterday.

This update is meant to fix a few things, most notably, the compatibility with OS 3.0. Lot of people didn’t upgrade to 3.1 either because of the know “random shutdowns” or because no jailbreak was available, those same people couldn’t use Dropbox on their iPhone as the … [visit site to read more]

Blackra1n is here

vitovox — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 13:55:47 +0000

…And I’m giving it a shot as we speak…This is a Jailbreak only version, no unlock. If you own a locked phone then this is tabu for you. If you already updated to 3.1 or 3.1.2 then your baseband has been updated too. If your phone has been bought here in Luxembourg, there are no risks, they are all unlocked already. On the other hand if your phone is a US import, then Blackra1n will turn your iPhone 3Gs 32Gb into an expensive iPod Touch (hope this answered your question Iomad)

3.1.2 update available

vitovox — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:41:39 +0000

Jailbreakers beware. Apple released iPhone firmware update 3.1.2 that resolves the unwanted shutdowns and reboots issues. The dev-team warns that their jailbreaking tools are not yet compatible with the new firmware.

Blackra1n coming soon?

vitovox — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:58:17 +0000

I quote Geohot’s latest tweet: “black is the new purple”…

Some reading between the lines means that a jailbreak to jailbreak’em all is imminent. Rumors say even by tomorrow. So for all of you out there that went “snap, I upgraded to 3.1 by mistake”, there is still some hope.

Jailbreak for 3.1 released

vitovox — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 23:25:02 +0000

3Gs Jailbreak for 3.1 released by the Dev-team, but beware: only works on Mac OS X; will only work on previously jailbroken 3.0 or 3.0.1 iPhones. Don’t expect a preinstalled out-of-the-box 3.1 to be jailbreakable. Read carfully all the conditons in order to avoid irreversible damages to your device. Use at your own risk.
My personal opinion: if you have a perfectly running jailbroken iPhone 3.0.1 and are not missing on apps that require 3.1. to run (dropbox will upgrade to be backward … [visit site to read more]

My dream Homescreen

vitovox — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:20:18 +0000

This is just a concept homescreen….but damned I wish it will eventually show-up (even in cydia)

From the authors, teehan + lax:

“Here’s how we might design a new home screen. […] You can see from the screens it’s essentially just a scrollable list of applications and notifications. […] A scrollable screen of the stuff that matters to me. […] Application preferences would allow users to include certain feeds on their home screens.”

Snapture – the camera app that is by far way better than the built-in camera app – has hit the App Store today, just as promised by the developers. This is an old jailbreak … [visit site to read more]

The Dev-Team has released their jailbreak

vitovox — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:25:54 +0000

The Dev-Team has finally unleashed the power of their jailbreaking an unlocking galore. Unfortunately the hack doesn’t work with the iPhone 3Gs nor the 3rd gen iPod Touch (yet). But since 3.1 is an epic fail I guess I will just skip this version and wait for the 3.1.1 (or something) where the random shutdowns, memory leeks and the battery lifetime issues get resolved (I … [visit site to read more]

Jailbreak 3.1

vitovox — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:05:27 +0000

3.1 jailbreak is taking a bit longer but, apparently the Dev-Team is close to release their hack. They found a way that wont need any DFU mode and obviously as easy as redsn0w. So after all the Purplera1ns and Redsn0ws and Yellowsn0ws meet Greenpo1son. I’m sure eager to poison my … [visit site to read more]

Jailbreakers may need to wait to update to iPhone firmware 3.1

vitovox — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:11:12 +0000

Sure, Apple’s iPhone OS 3.1 includes a couple of new goodies like iTunes-based App management, but if you like your Jailbroken or Unlocked iPhone, sit tight until Dev-Team gives the all clear. You could otherwise lose your unlock for good.

“If you update to Apple’s new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock. In fact you may lose it … [visit site to read more]
