New 4G iPhone

So, if you haven't seen them already, check out the new pics released by Gizmodo this last week, and the stories about how they got the iPhone 4G and what it has... pretty cool.



However, about a year ago I saw parts for a phone similar to what we are seeing here, from my supplier (to whom I won't release my source), for the alleged 4G that was to be released last summer. In my professional opinion, I believe we will see something like the beta version we see here. I have another source, however, who builds SIM cards, and there hasn't been any buz at his plant over the slim-sims or whatever they are calling them. (It's like half the size of the SIM cards we use now).

New Jailbreak for 3.1.3 and 3.2 Devices

Hello all! I am pleased to announce a new Jailbreak tool available for free called 'Spirit', available at spiritjb.com. This tool, available for Windows or Mac, is an untethered* jailbreak for the iPad, iPhone and iTouch on the latest firmwares for each device. This is NOT a carrier unlock, just a jailbreak method so that you can have the latest software on your device and install application and modifications that Apple doesn't necessarily approve of (such as Music Controls or Shrink).



According to the official site, if you currently are using a tethered* jailbreak, you have to restore to use Spirit. Do not upgrade if you use an unlock on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. (You can, however, restore to 3.1.2 if you have SHSH blobs for that version on file through Saurik or on your computer.)



Please note that this will not bypass activation, and in fact won't work unless you have already activated your device with a valid SIM chip.



The MAC version

The PC version





* Tethered devices are those that have the latest bootrom which means if your battery dies and/or you power off your device, you have to use a jailbreak tool to boot the device, tethered to a computer.
