    Interesting screenshots from Nuance’s new SpeechTrans Ultimate App. Nuance is widely believed to be working deeply with Apple on their speech recognition technology so maybe they know something.  Or maybe they just pasted screenshots that were too big on their App?!

    Apple has begun selling unlocked GSM iPhone 4 in the US. The 16GB black model starts at $649 and the 32GB $749. The unlocked device has all the features and can be used worldwide on supported GSM:

    If you don’t want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone 4 is the best choice. It arrives without a micro-SIM card, so you’ll need an active micro-SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide.

    The unlocked iPhone 4 requires an active micro-SIM card that you obtain from a supported GSM wireless carrier. Simply insert the micro-SIM card into the slot on your iPhone, connect to your Mac or PC using the USB cable, and launch iTunes on your computer to complete the setup.

  • JailbreakMe 3.0 For iPad 2 Jailbreak is Imminent?

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Featured, iPad, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves, Rumors No Responses

    iPad 2 is the only device left without jailbreak or accurately Apple’s A5 processor-based architecture in iPad 2 and later iPhone 4S/5 seems a hard puzzle to solve. The Limera1n exploit, which worked on A4-based iOS devices like iPod touch 4G and iPhone 4, is hardware-based and, since iPad 2 is A5-based, the exploit doesn’t work on it. And so the community has to find an all-new exploit this time around.

    iPhone hacker Comex and his JailbreakMe tool, which worked on a userland exploit, used to jailbreak iOS 4.0/4.0.1 with a very simple method of “slide to jailbreak” bar and Comex’s tool did the rest. However the exploit was later patched in iOS 4.0.2.

    Today, Comex has updated his website for the tool JailbreakMe. The updated page teases an image:

    The image shows a signboard with the word “PDF” written on top of it. this is might be pointing towards a potential PDF-based exploit. however its highly likely the new tool would work on iPad 2. Comex teased a lot of tweets:

    We just pin our hopes for an untethered jailbreak for iPad 2 as well as other iOS devices on iOS 5 which is set to release this fall.
