Apple iPad 2 Live Announcement to Take Place March 2 in San Francisco

Hans — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:31:52 +0000

The Apple iPad 2 Live announcement will take place tomorrow March 2 in Yerba Buena Center for Arts Theater, and you can watch Apple iPad 2 Live Announcement at 10:00 AM PST.

Although Apple hasn’t officially announced their event is about the iPad 2, it is obvious because the invite they sent shows an iPad behind their calendar. Many rumors are popping up already, and most of them say that iPad 2 will have a camera on the front and back and a slimmer design.

There have been rumors of iOS 5 as well, but I believe Apple will hold a separate event for iOS 5 later in April. The iPad 2 live event will start at 10:00 AM Pacific time or 1:00 PM Eastern time, so stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook, or Twitter to receive updates on iPad 2.

Verizon iPhone Announcement (2011) Coming January 11

Hans — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 05:31:18 +0000

The Verizon iPhone Announcement (2011) is going to happen today, January 11, 2010. Although neither Apple nor Verizon has confirmed the launch of a Verizon iPhone, we know that it’s happening due to reports from The Wall Street Journal, and many people bloggers being invited to Verizon’s event tomorrow.

Verizon iPhone Announcement Details

The Verizon iPhone announcement will take place at 11:00 AM EST/2:00 PM Pacific time. You can watch Verizon iPhone Announcement live, or come back here later tomorrow for updates. Just so you don’t get your hopes up, most reports are saying that the Verizon iPhone will NOT have a sim card slot, and it won’t work on Verizon’s LTE or 4G network. The Verizon iPhone will run on the CDMA network which has 3G speed, not 4G.

Verizon did hold an event during CES, but there was no Verizon iPhone Announcement. Instead Verizon demonstrated the speed of their LTE (4G) network which they recently launched. I’m sure the next generation iPhone 5 will support 4G, so I recommend you wait until next year if you want to get an iPhone on Verizon.

Verizon iPhone Hint appears on Skype Website

Hans — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 04:22:20 +0000

The Verizon iPhone is a heavily rumored Apple product, which has been in the news for years. Lately there have been lots of clues pointing to a Verizon iPhone hardware. Skype posted a document detailing the video calling feature they’re adding to iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Video calling hasn’t been officially announced by Skype, but will be covered in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) during January 6 2011.

The page on Skype’s website was located here, but was later removed after many sites started posting about it on the Internet. A copy of it was saved, and can be viewed at this page.

When the Skype page was up, it had a Verizon logo which suggested a Verizon iPhone. Of course Apple has launched the iPad on Verizon and it seems logical for them to launch the iPhone on Verizon as well. WWDC 2011 is in June, so we need to wait 6 more months to find out.

Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 Untethered for iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, and iPad DELAYED

Hans — Sat, 25 Dec 2010 19:18:30 +0000

Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1

The jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak was due to be released for iPhone 4, IPod touch 4G, and iPad hardware before Christmas. Now it’s Christmas today and the jailbreak has not yet been released. Why did this happen? Well, because someone leaked the SHAtter jailbreak exploit.

You can still jailbreak your device if you have an iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G, or iPad but it will be tethered which means you need to rejailbreak with redsn0w everytime you reboot your device. If you have iPhone 3G, or an older iPod touch then you’re in luck because you can follow the jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 guide and get an untethered jailbreak.

For an update on when the untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak comes out, download iUserbar new and you will receive an instant notification as soon as it’s out. Have a happy holiday!
