A new Siri port has emerged from Grant Paul (chpwn), Steven Troughton-Smith and Ryan Petrich, called Spire.

What makes this port significant is that it is distributed legally (no copyright infringement here), something other ports have never...

Another day, and another update from pod2g in regards to the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak. He has decided to hand over the A4 jailbreak to the Chronic Dev Team to test and release, so he can focus his efforts on the A5 jailbreak (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) before iOS 5.1 is released: I read the...

DevTeam's @MuscleNerd has tweeted something very interesting today. We all know that downgrading back to a lower iOS 5.x firmware once your device has been upgraded, is not possible even if the SHSH blobs for your device have been saved offline. This is because with the introduction of iOS 5, Apple has changed the way .IPSW...
