Although developers didn’t give any release date for this release. Now a developer named euwars has brought us a method to install the Siri on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G in a step-by-step guide.

iPhone 4S-

Right after the introduction of fancy new Siri feature on the iPhone 4S developers are hard at work to bring this exciting personal virtual assistant to the other iOS users such as iPhone 4, iPad 2. Earlier developers were only able to port the GUI but for the actual voice recognition commands Siri had to connect to the Apple servers but couldn’t do so because of the authentication issues. Also it was speculated that Siri might be using the specific hardware acceleration features of the Apple A5 chip in the iPhone 4S. But this didn’t not turnout to be true Read More >

So far we already have the iOS 5 jailbreak solutions for the iPhone 4/3GS etc. although in the form a tethered solution. But users can indeed use a new way to do the semi-tethered if they like, which is a good compromise between the complete untethered jailbreak and a quite limited tethered jailbreak. But for now iPad 2 and iPhone 4S users have been out of luck as there is only iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak that is currently possible on the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S users are still waiting for any kind of jailbreak. But it seems that iPhone-dev-team is Read More >

As we know iOS 5 has already got jailbreak treatment on iPhone 4/3GS right from when Apple came with the first developer beta. And recently we had updated Redsn0w tool to jailbreak iOS 5 on the iPhone 4/3GS. Although this solution is still a tethered jailbreak but more recently we did found a good compromise in the form of a semi-tethered solution that allows to boot a tethered device although apps such as Safari, Mail and Cydia apps cannot be used, but still the core phone and messaging functionality is still available. iPad 2 users have been the most unlucky Read More >

If we look at the new features in the iPhone 4S in terms of the software – no doubt that new Siri virtual assistant exclusive for the iPhone 4S captures our attention. Although, many users didn’t like the Apple decision to make Siri iPhone 4S exclusive. But now as most of you already know that there are developers namely Jackoplane and iH8sn0w that have already managed to port it to the iPhone 4 and we are also hearing reports of working port for the iPad 2. Of course, for now the port for iPhone 4 is rough around the edges Read More >

Well, we are mentioning a lot of Cydia tweaks recently for the iOS 5 Notification Center. This is mainly because after the iOS 5 release new tweaks are being released every other day. And some of them are really useful. For example, earlier today we mentioned about an other Notification Center tweak that allowed to take quick notes directly eliminating the need to launch any app to do so from the springboard in iOS 5. Now we want to introduce another one that is equally useful but very simple to use and has a lot of eye candy factor going Read More >

As we know new Notification Center in iOS 5 is probably one of the biggest features in the new release which borrows this concept from the Android world. While the iOS 5 Notification Center is useful even in itself, but the real strength comes in the form of third party jailbreak widgets or Cydia tweaks that extend the functionality of the iOS 5 notification Center significantly. For example, in the past we reviewed quite a lot of Notification Center widgets including the UISettings,  WeeTwitter, WidgetTask, MusicCenter, SpringPrefs,RSSWidget to name a few – and of course WeeFacebook  for all the Facebook Read More >

But there are also some other cool features that are hidden down in the new iOS version.

So many times here, we talk about the awesome apps & features that Android provides to its users and it even extends to the distributions itself. Take a look for example at the at the forums like XDA for the number of distributions or ROM choices that are available for even a single device like Samsung Galaxy S2 (SII) – CyanogenMod, MIUI, Darky ROM and list goes on & on for the other custom ROM that popup every day for these Android powered devices. Certainly we cannot get the same level of variety or choices for installing the ROMs on Read More >
