Apple has released iOS 4.2.6 (Verizon iPhone 4 firmware). This release comes ahead of the scheduled February 10, 2011 launch date.
The iOS 4.2.6 firmware, build number 8E200, file weighs in at 652mb.
One of the major differences between iOS 4.2.6 and the current iOS 4.2.1 for the GSM iPhone 4 is the Personal Hotspot feature, through which up to 5 devices can connect to the internet using the wireless network the iPhone 4 creates. iOS 4.3 is to bring the Personal Hotspot feature for GSM iPhone 4s.
We have a bit of a jailbreak theme happening today. MuscleNerd has claimed that Geohot might release a new untethered jailbreak in the coming weeks.
It seems as though they are going to release the jailbreak on the same day as the Verizon iPhone 4 launch. New owners looking for a jailbreak on day 1 could be in luck!
It seems like 2011 will be the year of the dual core smartphone. We have been informed that Nvidia, Qualcomm and Broadcomm among others have already released multi-core platforms with others on the way.
While LG Electronics (LGE) and Motorola already unveiled their dual-core smartphones at CES, HTC, Samsung Electronics and Nokia are expected to showcase similar models at the upcoming Mobile World Conference (MWC), indicated the sources.
It is now expected that the upcoming iPhone 5 will have a dual core processor. RIM already has a dual-core CPU in its upcoming PlayBook tablet and Apple is believed to be looking at a similar chip for its 2nd generation iPad.
There has been a lot of talk this week about the Apple iPhone Alarm clock bug. The basic iPhone alarm clock decided not to work on the 1st or 2nd of January and the mass iPhone user base wasnt very happy! However, why do they care when there are a lot of alternative alarm clock apps for free on the app store?
Here are a couple free iPhone alarm clock alternatives.
Nightstand Central Free – This ad-supported alarm clock reminds us of the Android operating system with its flip clock on top. We like its helpful weather report included just below the timepiece. It works when you have the phone sleeping and the screen is locked, but for that background alarm capability, you’ll be limited to just four different sounds with the free version.
Theme Clock Alarm – Swipe from side to side, and you’re offered a choice of a dozen different clock styles. Some of them are stylish. Others, not so much. Surprisingly, this app is not ad-supported, and you can wake to vibrate-only alarms without sounds. What’s the catch? Although you can lock your screen and put it in sleep mode, the app must be running for its alarm sounds to work. This one would work best in a dock overnight.
EA has dropped a massive 68 iOS games to only 99c each for the holiday season. Here is a list of all the games:
TeamViewer developed recently the version 6 for their popular remote access software, they’ve included the mobile version as well and now the Android app is available to download.
TeamViewer is one of the most know applications we can use to access computers remotely, their free version is quite complete and with no complexity for installing nor using it. The mobile versions represent a great tool if we need some quick access to remote machines, that’s why they’ve developed the apps for iPhone, iPad and now Android (beta).
Here are some of the features:
You can download the free app for iPhone, free app for iPad and the Android app (which is fully functional until January 11 of 2011).
