If you’re in need for iPhone 4 jailbreak after upgrading to the latest iOS 4.1, there’s good news for you. A new jailbreak called limera1n from Geohot has just being released ahead of iPhone Dev Team. This release however is reported to be slightly buggy as listed on their site.
Some known bugs are 3GS new bootrom is broken and Cydia icon will only be displayed when restarted after installing. From what we have seen with others, this is far from perfect so jailbreak at your own risk. Currently it is only offered for Windows, so linux and mac folks gotta wait for another update.
If you understand the risks involved and be the first to have cydia on iOS 4.1, head on to limera1n.com.
Will iOS 4.1 make things faster for the iPhone 3G?

Anyone who’s using the iPhone 3G and updated its OS to any variant of the iOS 4 are probably regretting the move. There’s no denying that iOS 4 have made the iPhone 3G unbearably sluggish. With promises of bug fixes and improvements in response and speed for iPhone 3G users, is the new iOS 4.1 worth the download?
While we wait for iOS 4.1 to be available for download, the good people at AnandTech ran some tests comparing the iOS 4.1 with it’s predecessor the iOS 4.0.1 and the iOS 3.1.3.
So what did the test reveal? You can read about the full test here. But the gist of it is that, although the iOS 4.1 does offer up improvements in terms of speed and response over the 4.0.1, it appears that the new generation of iOS is beyond the limits of the aging iPhone 3G with it’s 412Mhz processor and 128MB RAM.
“The bottom line is that if you have an iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1 will make you hate how slow your phone is a little less. Apple deserves credit for keeping a device just over 2 years old fully updated and supported. On the other hand, it’s obvious that Apple could have saved some face had it optimized the initial iOS 4.0 ARMv6 kernel for the iPhone 3G a little more than it initially bothered to.”
Conclusion, if you’re planning to keep your iPhone 3G for a couple more years, you might want to consider downgrading to a 3.1.3 if you can.

First look at iOS 4.1 HDR feature

Picture on the right has gone through the iOS 4.1 HDR processing, left has not.
iOS 4.1 will only be available for download next week, specifically sometime around September 8, and one of the features that a lot of people are excited about is the built-in HDR feature for iPhone 4.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. What HDR does is basically balances the high, low and mid-tones of a picture to produce and even tone across the picture. Normally if you take a picture where there’s a strongly lit area and a poorly lit area in the same composition, you either get a picture that’s too bright in the strongly lit area or too dark in the poorly lit area. HDR can balance that out by combining high, low and medium exposures in one a picture resulting in an image that is more like what you see with your own eyes.
So how does the new HDR feature in iOS 4.1 perform? Is it able to really balance out a high-contrast picture? AppleInsider gives a first look at how HDR performs on the iOS 4.1 and iPhone 4. Click on the link to read more.
Apple UK has revealed the latest iOS — ver 4.1 — will be available for download on September 8. A quick look at Apple’s Asian region website and we’re still seeing the very vague “coming soon” placeholder there, but you can bet your horses that once the iOS 4.1 is launched in the UK, it will be a matter of hours (or 1 – 2 days at most) before we can download it here in Malaysia.
As always, keep it locked on to SoyaCincau.com, we’ll keep you posted on the latest.

After the introduction of iOS 4, iPhone 3G users complained about slow performance after upgrading. Steve Jobs had purportedly responded by saying a fix was underway to solve these sluggish issues with the next iOS update.
During the big event few days back, Steve Jobs announced that the new iOS 4.1 update carries a lot of bug fixes for the iPhone 3G which we hope addresses the issue.
So has the iOS 4.1 fixed the slow issue? Gizmodo puts that to the test. Overall, it is faster than the previous iOS 4.0 especially when it comes to Maps.
Head after the jump for the video comparison.

Apple introduces iOS 4 – what to expect

If you’re an Apple fanboy, you might have already known that there was an Apple media event early this morning to announce the arrival of a slew of new iPods, a new Apple TV and, what we’re very interested about, an update of the iOS 4.
The iOS 4.1 which will be available for download next week, will add a few new features to the iPhone including major bug fixes for the iPhone 3G and other versions of the iPhone.
So what improvements can you expect with the iOS 4?
First up, iPhone 3G owners running iOS 4 will know that having the iOS 4 installed on your device has turned it into a bit of a slouch, with overall performance being laggy and unstable. With version 4.1 Steve says “a lot of bugs” on the iPhone 3G will be fixed. He didn’t elaborate much on what kind of bugs has been fixed but we expect to see major improvements in performance for the 3G in addition to bug fixes in the iPhone’s proximity sensors and Bluetooth performance.
Most of the other improvements coming for the new iOS 4 will be for the iPhone 4. If you’ve got one, you’ll soon be able to take pictures in HDR mode where the iPhone 4 will automatically combine three seperate exposures into one HDR image. This is not really a feature we think, it’s more of a neat party trick for the iPhone 4.
With iOS 4.1 iPhone 4 users will be able to upload HD videos directly from their phone via WiFi. Again, not really anything groundbreaking here, in fact we’re surprised that it wasn’t available from the start.
