iphone5 rumors coming on strong with the passage of buttons hybrid eating screens and more iOS 4.3 point one finally gets a full jailbreak untethered and a college student teaches just how to make 50 grand a year by jailbreaking all this and more coming up right now hello everybody I'm hi Mary veteran welcome to the pocket now I review the show we go through all this week school and it's not so cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices let's start this week off with a cool that's right the iphone 5 rumor mill is coming on strong this time we have images a Nepali fig next generation ipod touch sporting a capacitive home but instead of the clicking button we're used to now remember things make it to the next generation iphone before they make it to the ipod site so it's a probability we'll see it on the iphone 5 aside from that will that does fit the description of the probable larger screen inside the current iphone 4 casing and yeah there were talks of an 8 megapixel camera also making the device so again rumors well on the pen side we have apple playing with their old ipod 30-pin connector to bring Thunderbolt speeds of 10 gigabits per second and USB 3 pointers five gigabits per second though we're still not sure if that's going to be enabled through a software update the current generation iphones or if we can only expect it on the next generation iphone 5 now judging by the max story where the current devices then get the same Thunderbolt that the new ones did don't expect it aside from that will apples also playing with a hybrid eat ink display LCD that will allow you'd have en con sometimes when you're reading books and also the same current LCD that we currently know that way amazon's not going to be playing with those ads saying you can't really read books on an iPad an iPhone aside from that whoa we also have Apple playing with a probable vessel that has colors and that also allows capacitive buttons for you to play games with controls really cool for all of us waiting iOS 4.3 point 1 finally got it unto their jailbreak you'll need the pottage tool on the mac or snowbreeze on windows or redsnow what's the difference well the punch tool and snowbreeze are for those guys that are out there needing to keep their base bands for the carrier unlock on ultrasnow and rhett snow is for anybody that just wants to jailbreak their device now remember and keep in mind that the dev team has been alerting that iOS 4.3 point one and ultrasnow are not really working together well so wait before you make the jailbreak update because it seems that they need to update something first aside from that well really cool that we finally get it according to a storage newsletter Apple just purchased 12 petabytes of storage for no particular reason those 12,000 terabytes would probably serve Apple according to us to probably bring iTunes streaming services to the iOS platform since amazon already beat them to the game with android but still these are rumors nothing confirmed but the 12 petabytes are there let's see what Apple does with them given their already leaked and well kevin lee a college student from George Mason University just landed an interview on The Washington Post because the guy makes 50 grand a year by jailbreaking and unlocking iphones kind of a cool way to make a living this guy unlocks and jailbreaks as many as 30 to 40 devices per day from people from college who don't know how to do it just gave me an idea you know probably should consider that as a career move and while rumors have iOS 4.3 point2 being released next week but the only cool news there is that Apple will probably bring the verizon iphone up to speed with the GSM iPhone and release number updates that's pretty much it aside from that well a lot of bug fixes are mentioned but we really know that Apple is trying to close the gap on all the exploits that allow jailbreak so if jailbreaks your game might as well be where and yeah we're getting close to the not-so-cool section that's pretty much a mix there that is our for the coolest continue on with the not so cool Apple is just released an application called I ads for you to watch I ads all day on your iPhone some I ads are cool really worth watching but the sad news is having apple reject an application that was submitted a year ago from a developer for no particular reason and then seeing apple releasing an application that does exactly the same call that a copycat a recent survey to more than 4,000 people show that AT&T customers get fifty percent more dropped calls than verizon customers over the same iphone four now we're not going to blame this on antenna gate we're going to blame this on a terrible carrier in certain areas you know I didn't really complain about AT&T service in my area but then I went to Florida a couple of weeks ago and people would complain about drop calls but I wouldn't believe him until I would get as many as six to seven drop calls a day you know it's kind of disrespectful for you to be talking AT&T in your left hanging there alone nobody talking to you because your calls dropped you should really work on it and while everybody heard about that Zion theme the Toyota released in cydia for jailbroken iPhones a couple of days ago but let no more if you were interested because Toyota got a letter from Apple asking them to pull it from their marketing campaign really lame Apple i mean i would understand for you to be mad about this if you would offer us a way to skin our devices but it's not possible currently you know that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching I'm hi melody I don't remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
