Why is there STILL no iPad 2 Jailbreak?

So like many of you, I have been patiently and anxiously awaiting the Jailbreak for the iPad 2. All the iPhones have new Jailbreaks, even the original iPad does. So why doesn't the iPad 2?

iPad 2 Jailbreak is on it's way!!!

That's right! Joshua Hill from the DevTeam Also known as @p0sixninja on Twitter has said that "Since 4.3.1 has already been exploited by @ion1c, we're working on finishing the iPad 2 Jailbreak now"

That's right folks! It is just a matter of time and the jailbreak for the iPad 2 will be released. Most likely as an update to Greenpois0n. So for all those who have been waiting, the wait is almost over!!!

Comex Does it again! Jail Breaks iPad 2 in 2 Days!

That right folks!!! We knew this would happen, but never expected it so soon! Comex tweeted just an hour ago this picture, of Cydia running on an nice new white iPad 2!!

The jail break has not been packaged for the public yet. It also still has to be tested out. But you can expect it VERY soon!!!! It will be nice to have all my lovely little Cydia tweaks back in place!

"Don't Panic!" A new animated Wallpaper for iPhones

*Click the image to the right to see the animation*

Along the same lines as the animated boot logo for jail broken iPhone's that I mentioned last week.. I have made a version to use as your wallpaper on your iPhones, you iPod touches.. However, for it to be animated, you will have to be jail broken.

The reason being, Apple does not let you use an animated Gif file as a background. It will display it, but will not animate it. The end result is, you background is the first frame of the Gif file. When you phone is jail broken however, we are able to use an HTML file as the wallpaper... and let that HTML file call and open the Gif.

Too complicated? No worries. If your phone IS jail broken, you can open up Cydia and search for "dont panic wall" you will find it. If you are not jail broken, all is not lost! You can still use one of the non animated versions of this image if you want. I have a few over at Deviant Art.

At the time of posting, the package has not made it onto the Cydia servers yet. Give it until tomorrow.

A look at Business Apps: LockInfo

As I have mentioned before, a big part of my job the last four years, has been to find new and innovative ways to incorporate iPhones and iPads into Microsoft Exchange environments. Most of my users are accustomed to Blackberries and they expect their iPhones to behave in the same manner. One of the largest complaints I received from my users early on was, there was no way to see your email and calendar at a glance. So being the good little Consultant that I am, I went in search of an answer. What I found, is nothing short of amazing!


First I would like to say, Apple made a HUGE mistake when they chose to not allow Apps and Developers to use the lock screen. The lock screen can do so much more and SHOULD do more. But nope. It just sits there with a clock on it and a pretty background. If you have an iPad, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that you have a HUGE chunk of prime grade A digital real estate sitting right there.. And what is on display? Your geeky Star Trek background and a clock. Well no more! This app changes all of that! And how do they do it, when Apple strictly forbids this type of behavior? Why they sell it on Cydia, that is how. Cydia is the Jail Broken App store, filled with themes and all manner of Apps that Apple would not allow onto the App Store. So first things first, you gotta Jailbreak your iDevice.

Once that is done, head on over to Cydia and buy LockInfo It is a steal at twice the price! Lockinfo allows you to display all kinds of information on your lock screen. For example, you can display you calendar, mail, text messages and missed calls on it right out of the box. That's not enough for you? Want to display the Weather or any other bit of info? No problem! LockInfo has a plugin system and people are all the time developing new plugins for all your favorite apps. I now run LockInfo on my iPad and just love it! It has never been easier to see if I have anything pending, or an important email has come it. I highly recommend this to everyone!

I was going to write you up a tutorial on how to install and use it, but iClarified has already beaten me to it and done a very nice job at that! So click this link and check it out!

To Jailbreak, or Not to Jailbreak?

There has been a lot of talk about Jailbreaking your iDevices in the news. And most of it bad. It is unfortunate that Jailbreaking has been given such a bad name. Apple and Mainstream Media, would have you believe that if you Jailbreak your iDevice you will A. make yourself susceptible to Viruses and Hackers and B. Only those who pirate software jailbreak. Apple does not want you to "root" your device. They do not want you to be able to choose how your device should act, or look, or what software you can run. Congress, has recently decided that Jailbreaking is not illegal. However, I would still restore your iDevice to original before you send it in for service. As for why would you want to? More on that after the jump.
