No JailbreakMe.com for iOS 4.1 beta 3.

I tried jailbreaking an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1 using JailbreakMe.com and it failed. What does this mean? Apple might have patched the particular security flaw utilized by JailbreakMe.com. Some say that JailbreakMe.com is exploiting a PDF font bug in Apple renderer.

I started the jailbreaking process @ 11:30 PM and 30 minutes later nothing is moving.

I call this a good news for iPhone users in general. Sure it stopped one method of jailbreaking but more importantly it closes a security hole.

I attempted the iPhone jailbreaking for demonstration purpose only.
Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.

Does JailbreakMe.com works on iOS 4.1 beta 3?

With the release of iOS 4.1 beta 3, many wonder if Apple has patch the supposed PDF security flaw that’s exposed by JailbreakMe.com.

So far, JailbreakMe.com warned that the (iOS) version is too new, and recommend downgrading to previous version.

Video is coming up.

I haven’t done the jailbreak yet, because I have not set the camera up. I will jailbreak the iPhone for demonstration purpose only.

Remember that Apple will not provide any supports for jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPad touch.

This might sound crazy but I just picked up Apple Battery Charger at an Apple Retail Store. It is all for review.

Is it possible this Apple branded Battery Charger a different kind of product?

Stay tuned!

Magic Trackpad is now available at Apple Retail Store.

I stopped by an Apple Retail Store on Thursday and I saw Magic Trackpad available for demo and sale.

Naturally I picked up one, just to see if Apple can make a truly usable input device. Apple has not been able to create widely adapted mouse and trackpad products in the computer industry for the past 15 years. For sure the single button mouse is still the running joke about Mac computers.

I’m down $75.04 for the Magic Trackpad. Well, it’s a little price to pay for what many call as research.

So after 2 hours using this, I can say that it works exactly as unibody MacBook Pro trackpads. I personally have no problem using it, but personal experiences may vary.

If you’re used to using the Unibody MacBook Pro, you will have no problem using the Magic Trackpad. It is a much bigger trackpad than any MacBook Pros have.

I found out I can use it with another mouse for a more ambidextrous work-flow.

Magic Trackpad requires Bluetooth-enabled Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.4 or higher for all features.
