iphone 4G
"Coincidentally, a suspiciously large percentage of Android and BlackBerry owners may be suffering from the same delusion," Eisner wrote. "BlackBerry owners (24 percent) are almost as confused as iPhone owners since RIM doesn't currently offer a 4G phone. At least some Android owners could be answering correctly as Android 4G phones like the HTC Evo 4G or Samsung Infuse 4G have been available for some time. If nothing else this large number of misinformed phone owners serves to emphasize the fact that consumers are quite confused about 4G." Via MSNBC TechblogNow it isn't that difficult to grasp why many wouldn't know that they don't have 4G capable iPhones already since there can be confusion with the iPhone called iPhone 4, and many consumers don't care too much about the technical differences as long as the product works great.
If you are interested int eh differences between 3G and 4G networks then Wikipedia has a good descriptions: 4G is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards...setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users) via Wikipedia 4GCompared to 3G network speeds where:
system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GWhat does this mean for Smart Phone and iPhone Users on 4G? SPEED! And lots of it. You should be flying with faster video, page loads and more if the networks can handle it. So get ready for higher definition uploads of video to Youtube from your iPhone, cooler iPhone Accessories that might make use of the 4G networka gallery wordpress plugin and a Wordpress blog is all that you need to earn income on the net.
Apple currently has 4 iOS devices available. These are the iPhone, the iPod Touch, the iPad and the Apple TV. All of these devices can be hacked by a method known as jailbreaking.
There are two types of jailbreaking, tethered jailbreaking and untethered jailbreaking. Tethered jailbreaking and untethered jailbreaking. Essentially, tethered jailbreaking means that you have to connect your iOS device to your computer and jailbreak it every time you want to reboot your iOS device. On the other hand, untethered jailbreaking means that you can freely reboot without the need to connect to a computer.
But what is jailbreaking? Essentially, jailbreaking is a hack which gives the user full access to the filesystem. It also allows users to access applications, tweaks and customisations that you would never find on Apple’s official app store. Instead they are available in another app store known as Cydia. For example, you can turn on Wi-Fi, 3G and Location services without even leaving your current app. You can also unlock your iPhone, meaning that you can use it on almost any mobile phone network you want.
Now of course, there are some pros and cons to this. So just to scare off those who are not so sure about doing this, let me state the cons of jailbreaking your iOS devices.
Now yes, Jailbreaking is now legal as specified in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act(DMCA). However, if you do jailbreak then you may void your warranty. From what I know, if you restore your iOS device to the clean firmware, then you may be out of luck. This is because Apple’s people at their stores have many tests which can help them determine if you have jailbroken your device before hand.
The second of the many disadvantages there are of jailbreaking is that it can be used for piracy. There are people out there who have been able to crack the copy protection on the applications for all iOS devices. This way, applications that you have to pay for from Apple’s app store for iOS can be illegally obtained for free. You are also hurting the developers. They have spend a lot of time and money just to create applications that you can enjoy using. I encourage/highly recommend that you support the developers by always using Apple’s app store to get your applications.
You may also risk rendering you device unusable. If you perform the process incorrectly, you will have to plug your device in to your computer. You will then have to run iTunes in order to wipe the device clean and set up your phone from scratch.
By jailbreaking your iPhone, you can gain full access to the phone and delete files, which are important to the functionality of the phone. So remember, that with great power comes great responsibility.
Let’s move on to the good things that can come out of jailbreaking an iOS device. There are many different customisations that you can get. For example, you can customise the look and feel of your phone. You are able to change the colour of the keyboard, the icons on your home screen and change the slider on the lock screen.
You can also get features on your phone that allow you to do things that the iPhone should have had since iOS 1.0. Before iOS 4.0 came out, Cydia had applications that allowed the phone to be used as a Wi-Fi access point.
it provides Apple with ideas as to what to implement into a major release of iOS. For example, the idea of folders in iOS 4 came from categories which was available in Cydia since iOS 3.1.
All-in-all, jailbreaking your iOS device has an equal amount of pros and cons. If you are going to jailbreak, then please proceed with caution.

If you are a developer for iOS devices(iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads), and you have access to the betas of iOS 5, then I suggest downloading and checking out the iOS 5 beta right now.
However, a developer has done some investigation into iOS 5 and has found some device identifiers which hint at some upcoming iOS devices. Apple normally gives it’s hardware some identifier which they use internally. In particular, the identifiers given here, are “iPad3,1” and “iPad3,2”. These identifiers hint at what might be two versions of the iPad 3. It also has the identifiers ”iPhone4,1” and “iPhone4,2”. My thinking is these identifiers point to two versions of either the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4S.
Don’t hold me to my words, but this is what I think this means. Until next time, this is Adiman423 on behalf of iPhone Tutorial Videos signing out.
Many people thought that the white iPhone 4 would not come out until hell frozen over. Well, I am here to report to you all that hell has just frozen over. As of the time of posting this, Apple has updated their Apple store website for the UK and I can tell you that the white iPhone 4 is now available.
Upon further investigation, the white iPhone 4 in terms of hardware specification is exactly the same thing as the black iPhone 4. If you are going to buy a white iPhone 4, then be sure to buy a case as well.
However, with speculation of the iPhone 5 pointing to a release in September or early 2012, you may want to hold fire and wait until the launch of the iPhone 5. If your mobile phone contract is up for renewal, then you might want to consider it.

So earlier on today, Apple released iOS 4.3 and it is available for download.
It will work on the following devices:
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPod Touch 3rd Generation
- iPod Touch 4th Generation
- iPad
- Apple TV 2nd Generation
The features in this update are:
- home sharing
- airplay
- faster safari browsing powered by better javascripting
- change the side switch near the volume controls to be either a mute switch or a rotation lock switch (I cannot thank Apple enough)
- Personal hotspot for iPhone 4.
If you are ready to update, then plug your iOS device into your computer and open up iTunes. On the left-hand sidebar, click on your iOS device and you will see the main info window. From there click on update and the rest should hopefully take care of itself.
If you are on iOS 4.2.1 or lower and you are jailbroken, please don’t update until I advise you to do so. Until next time, this is Adiman423 on behalf of iPhone Tutorial Videos signing out.
On March 2nd 2011, Apple hosted an event where they unveiled the iPad 2 and iOS 4.3.
Apple has called their new iPad the iPad 2. It will sport an Apple A5 Dual Core CPU. It will have 2X faster CPU and 9X faster graphics. For the full specs, click here.
Finally, the iPad will be a white iPad and it will work on both the AT&T and Verizon. It will have a 10 hour battery life and over a month of standby. The pricing will be starting at $499 with the same configuration models. Starting out at $499 for 16GB and WiFi, and going up to $829 for 64GB and 3G. March 11th 2011 is when it will release in the USA, and it will release March 25th 2011.
There will also be a HDMI cable which will allow you to show the screen of the iPad. It will cost $40.
There will also be an interesting cover that apple will allow you to buy for the iPad 2.
After that, Apple talked about iOS 4.3. It will add home sharing to the iPad, better Javascript engine, AirPlay will be extended to support apps. After much hoopla, you will be able to use the mute switch as either a mute switch or a rotation lock.
For those on the iPhone 4, you will be able to use your iphone 4 as a personal hotspot.
Scott forstall came onto the stage today and demoed a feature on the new iPad 2 where you can manipulate a photo you take.
There will also be iMovie for the iPad. You will be able to edit your videos just as you would on the desktop. This app will cost $4.99 and will be available on March 11th 2011
There will also be Garageband for iPad. Put simply, it is looking really nice, you can create songs and plug your guitar into the iPad. The price for this awesomeness? $4.99 and it will hit the app store on March 11th 2011.
If you were unfortunate to miss event on the day, then I have left a video of the whole announcement which you will be able to view for yourself. If you are on the iPad or the iPhone, then you will be glad to know that this is a HTML5 video. This means you will be able watch the video without any problems.
In addition to this, Apple has now released iTunes version 10.2 for download. If you are on a jailbroken iOS device, then I can confirm that it is safe to update to 10.2.
On the whole, not an exciting announcement in my opinion. I would suggest to buy the iPad 2 only if you care about having facetime on the iPad and you want to have an iPad with a faster dual-core CPU. Otherwise, you are in the clear.

Update: Apple has now released the golden master version of iOS 4.3 to developers along with a second golden master of xCode. If you are a developer, I suggest you try it out and let us know what you think of it.
Apple has released beta 3 of iOS 4.3 and beta 3 of the SDK. You can now go to the iOS developer center and download your copy. Either way, please be sure to download your copy and let us know what you think of it.

If you are on iOS 4.1 or iOS 3.2.2 on your iOS device, you might have already jailbroken it. However, I have received word that there are some untethered jailbreaks for iOS 4.2.1 that will be released very soon. The whole on the operating system also has the potential to be used in iOS 4.3. I may have mentioned this in previous posts, however I cannot stress this enough. If you wish to keep your jailbreak, do not update to iOS 4.2.1 until further notice.
If you are going to update, connect your iOS device to your PC and launch iTunes and back up your iOS device. Then restore the device. When you restore, you will also upgrading, killing two birds with one stone. I should warn you that this process will remove all of your jailbroken apps. From there you can jailbreak again when the jailbreak is ready for download and installation.
In other news, host of web-based show diggnation Kevin Rose has received some information saying that the iPad 2 is most likely not to have a retina display. In the past, Rose did predict correctly about a previous iPod Nano having a curved screen. He was also correct on cut copy and paste iOS 3.0. With this track record, I think we can say that this could be a good prediction. However, I would not trust the rumours about facetime coming to iPad 2.

BREAKING NEWS: Apple has just released iOS 4.3 beta 2 has been released to all developers along with the SDK for iOS 4.3 beta 2 and xCode 3.2.6. So far there has been some changes made since beta 1. The multitasking gestures I had shown a video of in beta 1 have gone. I will update this post when I see other features emerge. If you are a developer who has access to iOS 4.3 beta 2, please go ahead, download it and let us know what is in there and what you think of it.
Until next time, this is @Adiman423 on behalf of iPhone Tutorial Videos
About a week ago, iOS 4.3 beta 1 was released to developers on Apple’s iOS developer program along with the 4.3 SDK and XCode. So what is new iOS 4.3 beta 1 you might ask?
Let me start off with something that many an iPad owner has been complaining about since the launch of iOS 4.2.1. When 4.2.1 was released, it has turned the screen rotation lock switch on the side of the iPad to a mute switch. With 4.3, you can now choose to keep it as a mute switch.
There has also been an addition which allows the user to do 4 or 5-finger gestures. To explain this better, I have left a video below to show how this works.
The third addition, is that you will be able to use your iPhone as a Wi-Fi hotspot. However, you can only have a maximum of 5 devices connected at a time. At the moment, Verizon Wireless in the USA will be one of the first of the networks to support this feature, but be patient and I can assure you that your network will support this feature.
All-in-all, this seems like another release from apple for the iPad. However, we have learnt a good lesson here. Complain in bulk and Apple will respond.
Now I am not going to spoil all the fun for you. If you are a developer, go ahead and download your copy of iOS 4.3 beta 1 and have a look at it for yourself, and feel free to let us know what you think of it.
On a side note, I can confirm that a Jailbreak for iOS 4.3 is also in the works. However, if you are on iOS 4.0.1 and you rely on Ultrasn0w for your unlock, do not upgrade to 4.2.1 or 4.3 beta1. If you are on 4.1 and you are jailbroken, do not upgrade to 4.2.1 or 4.3 beta 1. You will lose your jailbreak and will have to reinstall all your Cydia apps again. However, if you have paid for apps in the Cydia store, then you will not have to pay to download them again.

Nick Pack, an
iDroid developer, has just posted a video of an iPhone
3G running Android 2.3 Gingerbread (video embedded after the
break). It’s pretty sluggish, and the video quality is poor, but the
proof of concept is clear: it’s certainly Android 2.3 on an iPhone.
The same developer went
on to add that it’s still very early days for the port, and
that the “iPhone 4 port is under way and progressing steadily.” Of
course, once it runs on the iPhone 4, the Android 2.3 on the iPad is
just the tiniest of baby steps away.
While a public release of Android 2.3
for iPhone is probably a few weeks away, a stable build of Android
2.2 for iPhone is available from the iDroid site;
installation is pretty easy, and it runs quite well too.
so there you have it. A great way to get the best of both
worlds on an iPhone 3G. I have also left a video clip of this
above for you to have a look at. Though there may have been
performance issues with iOS 4 on the iPhone 3G, I am sure that when a
stable release of Android is ready, it should be usable. As
mentioned above, all of you iPhone 4 owners out there should also be
able to get in on the action soon as there will be a version of Android
for iPhone is in the works at the moment.
However, I should warn you that you will need to jailbreak
your iPhone if you want to try this out for yourselves.
I don’t know about you, but I personally think that it has been a long time coming. After god knows how long, the Skype app for iOS has been updated with support for video calling using either Wi-Fi or 3G. I am also glad to announce that this updated has been posted to the app store earlier on today, so go ahead and check it out.
For those of you who don’t know it already, Apple already has video calling (FaceTime) which is available on the iPhone 4, and the 4th Generation iPod Touch(released October 2010). FaceTime is only available on Wi-Fi for the time being unless you jailbreak.
I have an update for you all on the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.2.1. The iPhone dev team have released a beta test version of redsn0w for macs. I have a good friend of mine who have tried this on an iOS device they had going spare and the news is not good. At the time of posting, the iPhone dev team have updated redsn0w to beta 3 and it is still for Mac. However, redsn0w still has some bugs.
If you want to jailbreak and you’re on iOS 4.2.1, and don’t mind having to run redsn0w every time you wish to reboot, then feel free to use the current stable release available here . Otherwise, stay well away from it. If you are on iOS 4.1 or lower, then do not upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 until further notice.

update: I can confirm that Bluetooth is still disabled
If you are on O2 and have been waiting to unlock your iPhone 4 for ages, the wait could soon be at an end. O2 here in the United Kingdom has finally allowed users of the iPhone 4 on their network to unlock their iPhone 4. However if you are planning to switch to another network, then you would still have to honour the remainder of your current contract.
To start the unlocking procedure, just click here and click on the link that comes up on the page. You will be asked to fill out a form. After you have filled out this form, you will have to wait up to 14 days. Within this time you will receive a text to confirm that your iPhone 4 has been unlocked. Simply put a non-O2 sim in your iPhone 4 and connect your iPhone 4 into your computer, launch iTunes and a message will appear on the screen to confirm the unlock procedure has been completed.

So, fancy a few treats for your iOS device? You might be in luck. It turns out that the kind people at Gameloft have already gotten into the holiday season spirit. Every day until Christmas this year, it turns out that Gameloft are doing a special advent-calendar event, whereby since December 1st 2010, you can have a free game from them every day. However, be aware that each game is only free for 24 hours. Therefore you would have to be quick. So far, they have only made Driver (the classic gangster driving game) a free game.
To find out which games are going to be free each day, be sure to check out Gameloft’s twitter page here . You never know which game they will make free. However, unless they state any global restrictions, then it is available to every country.
