    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?!

    iPad with Retina Display was much rumored earlier this year, iPad 2X graphics were found in the iBooks application and were immediately assumed to be for the iPad 2, which does not include a Retina display once unveiled.

    Now, the guys at TechUnwrapped digging deep inside the new iOS 5 SDK have found images marked with 2X making the new iPad capable of displaying 2048 x 1536 resolution on its display (four times the pixels) of the current iPad (1024 x 768) this pushes the speculation further more as this is not apparently for pure testing purposes. The image below from Newsstand app.

    As iOS 5 is the base for the next generation iPhone and iPad it does make sense that the new iPad will get a really Retina display after all

  • 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.

  • iOS 5 Beta Hints At Two New Models Of iPad and iPhone

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

    TUAW reports, while digging into iOS 5 beta seeded to developers yesterday, references to two new, unreleased iPad models “iPad3,1″ and “iPad3,2″ discovered. Current iPad 2 models indicated in iOS as iPad2,1 (WiFi), iPad2,2 (GSM) and iPad2,3 (CDMA), the discovery leaves us with a speculation that next iPad iteration getting two models, iPad3,1 for WiFi model, and iPad3,2 being the one with dual GSM/CDMA chip.

    A discovery of iPhone4,1 and iPhone4,2 models were also noted in the beta. However, there’s no mention of iPod touch 5th generation in the current iOS 5 beta, leading to speculation that a new iPhone could be announced this Fall along with iOS 5 and iCloud launch, but not a new iPod touch.

    Interestingly, there are no mentions of a new iPod touch. If there really is no iPod touch 5 ready to launch in September (the typical iPod refresh time), sources believe it could be because Apple is reserving the spotlight for another member of its iOS family, namely the iPhone 5.

    Model identifiers are usually a good indication of new products to come in the next months, the following beta releases could bring more model identifiers in the future.
