FaceBreak is a Mobile Substrate extension that allows FaceTime calls over 3G.  New version now supports iOS 4.2.1/4.2.6(Verizon) and uses much less memory than previous versions.  !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?’http’:'https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+’://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js’;fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, ‘script’, ‘twitter-wjs’);lang: en_US

So for all of you USA users, anyone tempted to switch to Verizon now that they have the iPhone 4, I say do not do it. I purchased a verizon iphone and did some speed tests here in Oregon. At least in my region, AT&T was 10-20 times faster than verizon consistently in 3g data transfer rates.

Here are some tests:

Then I repeated the test with AT&T on EDGE. That’s right. I disabled 3g and used EDGE. I left Verizon on 3g, since that is the only way their CDMA works:

Firewall iP, the first and only Firewall for iOS, got updated to 2.0!

The first version of WeBe++ lacked one important feature: Cursor support – a severe problem for AppleTV 2G users. And for the large number of PS3 users, operating their device without these geometric symbol buttons (triangle, square, cross, and circle) wasn’t fun either. The new update solves both by a special PS3 widget. Give it a try!

It appears that Greenpois0n RC5 B4 supports Verizon iPhone. Enjoy :)

We now have a support channel on IRC:
#ios at irc.thebigboss.org, chat.thebigboss.org, or irc.conceited.net. If you don’t have an irc client, you can connect wtih this link.

If you want a native IRC client you can use mIRC for windows or Linkinus for OSX.

Chat etiquette:
1) Please pick a decent nick name don’t use mib_34234j
2) If you have questions or need help just ask the channel and wait around. People respond as they see the question sometimes 15-20 mins later.
3) DONT TYPE IN ALL CAPS (that’s considered yelling).
4) Don’t send private messages to people without permission first. Your question should probably be asked in public and may be relevant to other users’ problems.
5) It is perfectly fine to “idle” there which means connect, stay connected even when you aren’t there. Many of us do that.
6) Have fun!

It looks like posixninja beat Musclenerd to the punch. Green poison RC5 is out and provides an untethered jailbreak.  The exploit used is already known to be patched in the upcoming 4.3 firmware so it made sense to get it released as soon as possible. Currently only the OSX version is out but a Windows version is on its way out as well. You can it from http://www.greenpois0n.com/

Note: this version does not provide hacktivation.

And a note from Musclenerd:
For those having trouble getting Cydia via the GP Loader, just let redsn0w install it (don’t choose the Monte option)

For those having problems in osx v10.5.x try this: http://www.gadgetsdna.com/jailbreak-ios-4.2.1-with-greenpois0n-rc5_2-on-mac-os-x-leopard/8634

A few people have asked me my opinion on iPhone 4 on Verizon and how it will impact us, if I will switch to Verizon, etc. Interestingly enough, my opinion is exactly stated perfectly by cmdshift here.  It’s an interesting (and short) read.

As he suggests, I also wait for summer to see what is in store with iPhone 5.
