Dev-Team Releases RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 beta

With the availability of iOS 5.0.1 beta to developers, Dev-team has also pushed RedSn0w 0.9.9b8 to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 beta on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1 and iPod Touch 4G, 3G.


NOTE

• It’s still a tethered jailbreak
• Not recommended for unlock dependents
• Gevey SIM dependents can produce the NO_BB_* custom IPSWs for 5.0.1 to preserve baseband.
• UltraSn0w unlock is NOT updated with iOS 5.0.1 compatibilty
• Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta, you’ll still need to provide it once to redsn0w (at which point it will cache all the important pieces so you don’t need to select it again).

Redsn0w 0.9.9b8 will natively recognize the 5.0.1 beta that Apple let developers start testing this week (so you don’t have to play the “point at 5.0 IPSW” trick). Because the IPSW isn’t public, you’ll still need to provide it once to redsn0w (at which point it will cache all the important pieces so you don’t need to select it again).
For those 3GS and i4 users who preserve their baseband, the Mac version can also produce the NO_BB_* custom IPSWs for 5.0.1. (But please note that ultrasn0w doesn’t get updated for betas like this.)
This is still a tethered jailbreak for all except old-bootrom 3GS users.

Why We Can’t Have Siri On iPhone 4, iPod touch Right Now?

Recently we have reported that Siri has been successfully ported to iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G. Not only that it also has been successfully connected to the Apple servers. Now you must be wondering why the two developers chpwn and stroughtonsmith didn’t release it yet?

Siri On iPhone 4 Release Date

chpwn, The developer behind porting Siri to iPhone 4 has blogged why they can’t release how to install Siri on your iPhone 4 now.
Why? Because Apple owns the copyright on the software, images, and data used inside iOS. So Siri files shouldn’t be extracted from iPhone 4S or from iOS 5.

How to get Siri on your iPhone 4 Legally?

The only way is buy extracting the files from your own iPhone 4S and then will can run it on any device you want to run it on. But, if you already have an iPhone 4S, You already have Siri and don’t need to port it.

Just from that, you currently must already own an iPhone 4S to install Siri on it without a blatant copyright violation. But even that’s not all: if you do all of that, there’s still a few more reasons why Siri won’t just work.

Is There is another way to port Siri to older iOS devices?

The issue with the second method is more technical: the firmware files are distributed encrypted, and we do not yet have the decryption key to access the Siri files inside of the iPhone 4S firmware file.

But…

When we have the ability to decrypt the encrypted iPhone 4S firmware file — to extract the Siri files legally, without the need for an iPhone 4S — and we have an iPhone 4S jailbreak to obtain the other nececssary information at a mass scale, hopefully this can become a reality and everyone can try out Siri on their older devices. Until then, showing you a video that it is possible is the best we can do.

So, We are hoping to see the iPhone 4S jailbroken soon so that we can get Siri on older iOS devices.

iPad 3 Double Resolution Display Starting Production In November

Brook Crothers of CNET  has posted some info which he got from a reliable source regarding the iPad 3 Double resolution (2048×1536) which is rumored to go in to production in November.

iPad 3 Display

Samsung and LG will be the manufacturers of the iPad 3 displays in large numbers, But according to CNET source said that Apple could fall back to an (1600×1200) resolution due to a “quantum leap” in density at tablet size and that yields of working displays could be an issue.
The closest that iPad display manufacturers like LG Display and Samsung can get is 2048×1536 resolution display, according to the source. That’s a PPI of 264, twice the 132 PPI on the iPad 2.
But whether manufacturers can make them in volumes that Apple demands is the question. “They have production plans for 2,048×1,536 displays. Starting in November. But those are only plans at this point,” said the source, referring to LG and Samsung.
“It’s not a question of making just one. That, of course, can be done. The challenge is making lots of them,” the source said. “This is a quantum leap in pixel density. This hasn’t been done before.”
If manufacturers are not able to hit the volumes necessary for the higher resolution, there is an interim option of 1,600×1,200, according to the source.
The display is also expected to have a brightness of 550 nits. That’s pretty bright, as the typical laptop display panel tops out at about 350 nits.
