Bad news: if you own an iPhone 4, be careful -- bypassing your lock screen is simply a matter of hitting "emergency call," dialling "###," presssing the call button, then immediately pressing the lock button. Voilá -- one cracked iPhone. After the break, there's a video of some Spanish Portuguese-speaking guy showing you how to carry out the exploit. This bug, which will surely cause a ...

As we mentioned earlier in the week, Geohot stirred up a bit of controversy with his Windows-only limera1n iOS4.1 jailbreak tool. But why should Windows users get all the unrestricted iOS fun? Limera1n is now available for OS X, so if you're a Mac user, it could be time to release your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the shackles of Apple's oppression. If you need an unlock, proceed with ...

The iPhone jailbreaking community is all fired up about limera1n, a new jailbreak for iPhones and iPod Touches running iOS 4.1. Limera1n works, but our pals at Engadget are reporting that it appears to be a quick, buggy release by notorious jailbreaker Geohot, upstaging the even more notorious iPhone Dev Team. The jailbreaking community is divided on this hasty exploit, because it's forcing the ...

I'm not an iOS user, so I'll keep this short and sweet: iOS 4.1, just hours after its public release, has been jailbroken by the notoriously nefarious Chronic Dev Team.

It sounds like there's still some work to do -- you can't jailbreak your iOS 4.1 device just yet! -- but I ...

iOS 4.1 is finally available to download, and the new features are what we expected for the most part. What you get out of the iOS 4.1 upgrade depends on your device. iPhone 4 users can take full advantage of the new iOS features, including Game Center, HDR photography and HD video uploading. You also get a fix for the proximity sensor bug, if it affected you. (Yay! No more accidental hangups!) ...

Developers and others with early access to iOS 4.1 have noted that the iPhone's new Game Center is now live. Obviously, game developers have had access to a closed version of Game Center in order to test out multiplayer features, achievements, and other Game Center features, but now they're out of the sandbox. Pixelated Geek has screenshots of Game Center, including the setup screens, the ...

The software centerpiece of Apple's fall event today was iOS 4.1, available for free download next week. The new version of the OS delivers the expected fixes for problems with Bluetooth and the proximity sensor, along with speeding up performance on iPhone 3G (finally!). It also packs two major new features: Game Center and HDR photos. Game Center allows you to compete against your friends in ...
