Do we really need The New iPad™?

Should iPad 2 owners have upgrade to The New iPad™?

These are the common questions arise after looking at eye catching new Retina display of The New iPad™.

Major Changes in The New iPad™

- Retina Display

- A5X Quad-Core Processor

- LTE (Long Term Evolution) Gives upto 72 Mbps speed (Forget The 3G)

- Same 10 hours of battery life even after this high configuration

Its been three days since people get their hands The New iPad™ and they started posting drawback of this high configuration iPad.

- The New iPad™ takes ages for charging

- The weight (Apple, We feel the difference)

- Animation Lag (Ridiculous)

I am not hating this new iPad but circumstances are valuable for those who really want ro buy the new iPad. Apple teasing people. Retina technology was part of iPhone 4. Apple could bring this retina feature to iPad 2 which has been unveil last year in March by Late Steve Jobs but they didn’t.

People already know what’s coming in the new iPad except that A5X processor.

We have something you really want to see, and Touch. (Apple’s The New iPad™ event Invitation Tagline)

We know what you have and forget the Touch!

Will you buy The New iPad™?

Do Comment and let me know your experience with The New iPad™

We all miss you Steve!

If your iDevice (iPad 1st & 2nd Generation, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPHone 4S, iPod 3rd & 4th Generation) not yet update to iOS 5.0.1, you definitely going to miss untethered jailbreak. Untethered jailbreak always tough to achieve.

iOS 5 update now OTA (Over The Air) so there is no solution on restoring iDevice to any other iOS version in future for now while its a different story in iOS 4 because you have to download updated firmware in order to restore/update iDevice. iOS 5 gives DELTA update.

DELTA update save much time to update iDevice but there are some bad signs too.

Saurik (Jay Freeman) the Godfather of Jailbreak has done brilliant solution to update/restore iDevice to any iOS version by saving .SHSH file to Cydia server and modified hosts file to switch update server. Lot of people have done this on there Mac/Windows to restore/update iDevices successfully. Its possible only for non iOS 5 update iDevices because its now OTA so no chance to save .SHSH file which is key to restore/update iDevices.

Latest iOS version: 5.0.1

Latest iOS Beta Version: 5.1 Beta 3

Latest iOS 5.1 Beta 3 Seeded to developer around 3-4 Days ago which has already patched the Corona Untethered which is done by Pod2g to achieve Untethered Jailbreak on latest iOS 5.0.1.

Untethered Jailbreak available on non A5 Devices.

A5 Untethered Jailbreak imminent.

If Apple seeds new 5.1 GM to public, it could be nightmare to iDevice user those who not on iOS 5.0.1/5.0 because they shall never going to update iDevice to iOS 5.0.1 ever.

If you want untethered jailbreak on 4S/iPad 2 please update your iDevice to iOS 5.0.1 before Apple seeds 5.1.

Untethered Jailbreak is available on A4 devices.

There’s some excellent news today for those waiting on the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. The official blog of iPhone hacker pod2g has issued a progress update that implies that the untethered jailbreak is coming very soon. According to the latest post, coding and testing for the jailbreak has been completed for all iOS devices, except the iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and iPhone 4 CDMA version.

IPhone 3Gs 5.0.1 jb worked.

Remaining to test: iPod 4G & iPhone 4 CDMA running 5.0.1.

Also, I’ve tested iPad 1 and it worked.

Now the time to finalize the jailbreak for old devices, fix some stability issues and package the whole.That will take some days.

In the meanwhile, I’m starting the research for iPad 2 and 4S. I’ll take you informed of my progress.

According to pod2g’s Blog.

That means the only thing still left to be done is for pod2g to package the code and decide when to release it. A little bit of testing for some devices is still required, however. Here’s the status update for the untethered jailbreak from his blog, for each device.

• iPod touch 3G on iOS 5.0.1
• iPhone 4 (GSM) on iOS 5.0.1
• iPhone 4 (CDMA) on iOS 5.0.1 (Not Tested Yet)
• iPad 1 on iOS 5.0.1
• iPhone 3GS on iOS 5.0.1
• iPod touch 4G on iOS 5.0.1 (Not Tested Yet)
• Apple TV on iOS 4.4.3 (Not Tested Yet)
• iPhone 4S and iPad 2 (Not Tested Yet)

Once final work has been completed for these devices, he will move to jailbreaking the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. If you’re looking to jailbreak now, current jailbreak methods for iOS 5 are limited to tethered jailbreaks using eitherSnowbreeze, Redsnow, or Ac1dsnow.  You can, also, add an optional semi-tethered jailbreak which will allow your device to retain much of its functionality in the event you need to reboot or power off.  You will not, however, be able to use jailbreak tweaks until you reboot tethered.  You will, however, be able to use your browser, message, make calls, and use various other services.  When the untethered jailbreak is officially released, you can bet we’ll have it for you.

No More Tethered.
