Here’s how to set it up on your iPad:

First of all you need to find your Serial Number. You can find this under System>General>About. This is your unique mobile identifier and you are going to need this to set up PhoneIt-ipad.

Next you need to buy PhoneIt-iPad and then insert your Serial Number when requested.

Next go to Cydia and add the following repository: http://apps.iphoneislam.com then locate PhoneIt-iPad and install it.

Once you have done this the tweak should work directly and you will be able to make calls and send SMS messages.

If the video that was posted last month is to be believed then this app should work really well but you should always think twice before giving out your unique Serial Number to a third party so be sure to use your own discretion here.

The PhoneIt-iPad tweak was developed by iPhoneIsland who also developed FaceIt3GS which is a software patch that allows iPhone 3GS users to use FaceTime which is legally restricted to iPhone 4, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4G users.

If you plan on using PhoneIt-iPad you will need to jailbreak your device and it is important to note that this tweak will not work with iOS 5.

Comex is well known amongst the jailbreaking community and he is especially known for his JailbreakMe series of jailbreaking tools. The first version of this tool worked on iOS 1.1.1 for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The second version worked on iOS 4.0 an all iOS devices and the third version was released just a couple of weeks ago.

JailbreakMe 3.0 which is codenamed Saffron works on all iOS devices that are running iOS 4.3.3. It uses a PDF exploit found in Mobile Safari along with some other magical techniques that makes this the fastest jailbreaking tool around. This is also the first tool that was able to jailbreak the iPad 2.

Comex has released the source code for Saffron so that other hackers will be able to go through it and create their own tools. As it currently stands, JailbreakMe 3.0 won’t jailbreak iOS 4.3.4 as Apple updated the iOS firmware to patch the exploit that Comex used in Jailbreak Me. If you are a hacker and you fancy taking a look at the Saffron source code to see if you can come up with another solution you can get it at GitHub.

The report came from John Paczkowski of All Things D and he stated that according to his sources the next iPhone whether it be the iPhone 4S or the iPhone 5 will launch sometime in October of this year and not September as was previously thought. On the website All Things D you can read all about it and why the date has been changed from September to October.

With so many different reports circulating and rumored dates of September and October it really is getting very hard to predict when Apple will unveil the next generation iPhone and like most people out there I guess we really going to have to wait and that wait could be an additional 30 days if these new reports are to be believed.

We don’t even know for sure about the design of the next model as there are contradicting reports surrounding this too. Some say that the next iPhone will have an iPhone 4 like design whilst others suggest that the next generation iPhone will have a tapered curved design.

Again it is all really just speculation and until Apple decides to put us all out of our misery and unveil the product no one can be certain for sure. So whether it will be a September launch or an October launch no one really can say for sure all we can say is that the next generation iPhone will be launched sometime this year. If there are any further developments on this story we will be sure to let you know.

Do desperately need to have NFC available with your iPhone 4? If your answer is yes, here is how to get it but keep in mind it is not for everybody. NFC stands for Near Field Communication and it’s main purpose is processing financial transactions by moving your iPhone near an NFC payment terminal. With this technology you wont need to bother yourself with pin numbers and other trivialities, just move your iPhone close to the terminal and your payment will be processed in a second without you needing to do anything else. NFC will most probably be a standard part of the next iPhone model, the iPhone 5.

At the time being, NFC is available only on a small number of Android devices, but with this hack you’ll be able to do the same with your beloved iPhone 4. For this to work you will need to have a credit card which supports the latest NFC technology. When you get the NFC credit card remove the iPhone 4 back cover, insert the credit card on the battery and afterwards carefully put the cover back on your iPhone.
Thats all, you can pay your StarBucks coffee with your NFC enabled iPhone 4. The glass back of your iPhone doesn’t block the NFC communications at all.

But really this hack isn’t something essential as there are not enough NFC terminals around to make it really useful. Could this damage the iPhone 4? We don’t think so. But any way you can show your friends which proud themselves that Android is better because of NFC that they aren’t completely right. It is as good a reason to hack your iPhone as there is. Anyway do let us know if you try this out.

This new malware scanner for iOS devices has been developed by Intego and it is a new tool that will scan places where malware is likely to be stored. This includes scanning the dropbox folder, mail attachments and more within iOS. VirusBarrier is an on demand scanner and this means that it doesn’t run in the background so you will have to manually scan files from the app itself.

There has never really been a need for anti-malware on an iOS device because all software that runs on these devices has been reviewed by Apple. The only exception to this is if you have a jailbroken iDevice.

According to the developers of this app the main use is to prevent malware from going through these devices into computers at home or at work via email or remote locations such as MobileMe or Dropbox. VirusBarrier is equipped to detect Windows, Mac and Unix viruses and the virus definitions are updated on a regular basis. You can download the VirusBarrier app from the iOS App Store for just $2.99 for the year. After this license expires you can purchase an additional license for just $1.99 per year.

Whether or not you need to purchase this new app is entirely up to you but it can’t hurt to keep everything as safe as possible can it? What do you think, would you install VirusBarrier on your iDevice and do you think there is a need for it?

The warning was issued by @MuscleNerd who is a prominent member of the iPhone Dev Team and he advised jailbreakers to stay away from the iOS 4.3.5 update on his Twitter account.

The new iOS 4.3.5 came as a surprise for so many people especially when you consider that iOS 5 is being developed and due for release early in the Fall. iOS 4.3.5 update was issued and includes a fix for a security issue when validating certificates but not much else was changed as far as we know.

There is no untethered jailbreak available and there might not be seeing as though iOS 5 is fast approaching. If you do want a jailbreak you can still get a tethered jailbreak using Redsn0w. With the tethered jailbreak you are required to plug your device into a computer running Redsn0w every time it starts up in order to boot it into jailbroken state and this can be a pain.

As for untethered jailbreaks it is suspected that the jailbreaking community might not want to expose any more vulnerabilities in the iOS code at the moment as they would be fixed in iOS 5. If this is the case it will mean that jailbreaking iOS 5 will be easier and it will happen much quicker when it is released. For the time being users are urged to stick with iOS 4.3.3 or earlier and not to upgrade if they want to keep their untethered jailbreaks.
