greenpoison finally brings them tethered jailbreaks to iOS 4.2 point one verizon iphone 4 pre-orders gone almost as soon as they started and everything points out to verizon's network being lame on the iphone all this and more coming up right now hello everybody i'm high metal iveta and welcome to the pocket nail I review the show we go through all this week school and they're not so cool inside the world of Apple's iOS devices let's start this week off with the cool now greenpoison RC 5 is out it'll bring you onto their jailbreaks the iOS 4.2 point 1 for some compatible iPhones the iPad and the ipod touch now there have been issues with the server for greenpoison so if you don't get to be able to install city immediately just give it some time you know a lot of people are out there trying to get it and well if you're relying on ultrasnow to unlock your phone remember that upgrading to iOS 4.2 point 1 will pretty much leave you with a new baseband and not able to unlock your phone so proceed with caution and just do it if you really know what you're doing well verizon iphone 4 pre-orders went live is scheduled on februari third at 3am and while they crashed five minutes later and they pretty much sold out two hours later these are record sales for verizon and what's cooler is even having these devices already shipped to users at least some of them really the performance next up would be getting more coffee and waiting for februari ninth or making lines on februari 10th so far so good how many of you stayed up all night I know I did well rumors have iOS 4.3 being released somewhere around februari 10th with the verizon iphone 4 launch other safe every 14th for the iphone and ipod touch somewhere in April for the ipad and ipad 2 if it ever comes out though there aren't really any compelling reasons to upgrade to iOS 4.3 at least not that we've heard of so if you've just jailbroken with greenpois0n bice to you is proceed with caution and just you know really analyze if you really need this upgrade because I know the dev team has been having a lot of trouble working with the betas well AT&T is just announced that they will be adding an additional 2 gigabytes to the current tethering plans and guess what though also be offering wireless hotspot services for current AT&T customers so call this great competition this is announced for februari 13th so this would be the third day we do assume iOS 4.3 to be released remember wireless hotspot services allow you to connect up to five devices to your device using your device as a wireless hotspot so really cool services really great competition and well if you plan to be part of the group of people that will be making lines on februari 10th for the verizon iphone 4 launch just as an FYI remember they'll also be selling the device at Best Buy so you might want to try diluting the lines and going to bestbuy though we don't know who's going to have more devices or if they're even going to meet the man's considering the current performance for the pre-orders so let's see what happens well that does it for the cool that's continued on with the not so cool Steve Wozniak was recently in the engadget show talking about the iphone and mentioning the white iphone 4 and how Apple had already figured out how to fix the white iphone four issues with the camera the paint job and everything now the uncool part is having Wozniak eventually pull his comments back and saying they were just part of rumors so not really sure if the white iphone is anything other than part of our imagination lately anyways well verizon and AT&T have really shown how much they love each other Verizon ads are doing a great job at showing you how much drop calls you get on AT&T and well AT&T is doing a great job in showing people how they won't be able to do data and voice simultaneously on the new verizon iphone 4 just for the point think about it I mean it took AT&T customer six months to either consider moving away from AT&T because they hated drop calls or four rise in iphone customers or call them verizon customers to move to AT&T just because of the fact that they wanted the iphone if they didn't move already it's because they're happy where they are so i mean just drop it man and enjoy competition well continuing on with more verizon iphone news it seems that things are not going to be really well for customers pertaining data it seems that they're only be able to download up to 1.2 one point no mega down and up 2.5 up as opposed to current AT&T customers that get 3.3 3.5 mega VPS is down and up to 1.3 up not really sure what verizon is planning to do with their network to be able to support iphone customers and you know just four point this is verizon without iPhones already imagine what would happen if they already had iphones on sale in comparison to AT&T that already has them so not really sure what to expect if every tenth will be that they will know well the Sony Reader iOS application was recently pulled from the app store for selling books within the application without giving Apple the thirty percent cut this is totally legal if we go through the terms of services the problem is and let's forget about the sony reader application for now let's focus on for example the kindle iOS applications and ebooks i mean lots of us choose kindle better because you can read on Android you can read on iOS on a Mac on a PC just about everywhere even the web and you can't do that with ibooks so what would happen with you know ebooks and other services that gets sold within applications like for example senior magazines and everything even game so we'll see what happens with Apple these is this is really not good because obviously ebooks will get more expensive or they'll probably get pulled and I'm not going to be able to read them on my iPad so not really good news that's it for today's show thank you very much for watching remember to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now
