Well the wait is over – iPhone 4 Jailbreak is out!.

Comex and other members of the iphone Dev-Team have released the newest iDevice Jailbreak.

JailbreakMe 2.0 Star is the name! – The userland jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3G on iOS 4 / 4.0.1, iPod touch on iOS 4, and iPad on iOS 3.2.1 is out !!. It is a browser based jailbreak, all you have to do is to browse to http://jailbreakme.com from your iOS device to jailbreak it.

Yes you read that right, no need to plug your device in to a computer, go ahead and jailbreak your phone while you wait in line at Starbucks!

Once the process completes (took about 3 minutes on my 15mbps wifi connection at home) you will have Cydia on your homescreen all ready to install your favorite jailbreak apps!

There is one warning floating around right now and that is to update your iPhone 4 to iOS 4.01 before jailbreaking to avoid Facetime and MMS issues. And to play it extra safe, restore your iphone from a backup in itunes once you have finished the jailbreak.

Step 3: Once you are done with the update, make sure you are connected to a WiFi network. I haven’t tested it on 3G so I recommend using it on a reliable WiFi network.

Step 4: Open Safari on your iPhone 4, 3GS or 3G and navigate to http://jailbreakme.com.

Step 5: “Slide to Jailbreak” to begin the jailbreak process.

Step 6: Wait till the jailbreak tool download the required files.

Step 8: Once done, you will be greeted with the following message: Cydia has been added to your home screen. Have fun!

Step 9: Close the browser and look for Cydia. You should now have it on your phone!

AT&T Opens Network To VoIP iPhone Apps

Users of Skype and other VoIP apps will be able to make calls on AT&T’s 3G network, reversing a previous decision by the company.

AT&T (NYSE: T) on Tuesday opened its 3G network to VoIP calls on the iPhone, reversing its previous position, as federal regulators consider applying proposed net neutrality rules to mobile phones.

AT&T’s decision applies only to Apple’s smartphone. The wireless carrier does not allow the use of voice over Internet protocol, or VoIP, over its 3G network on other mobile phones. Before the reversal, VoIP applications from Skype and other companies could make calls on the iPhone only over a Wi-Fi connection.

AT&T said it notified Apple and the Federal Communications Commission of its decision Tuesday. “Today’s decision was make after evaluating our customers’ expectations and use of the device compared to dozens of others we offer,” Ralph de la Vega, president and chief executive of AT&T mobility and consumer markets, said in a statement.

How To Use BranchCache in Windows 7

BranchCache is a network performance tool available in Windows 7 and Server 2008. It acts like a proxy in that it works only when requested by a client user. The typical user scenario where BranchCache will be useful is where a branch office has a slow link back to the central office. Any downloads that might occur will be slow because of the bandwidth connection. BranchCache is designed for such remote office operations.

There are two modes in which BranchCache works, hosted or distributed. In hosted mode, a 2008 server located on the branch office hosts the cached files. In Distributed Cache mode, a branch server is not necessary; file copies are directly cached onto the PC’s at the branch location.

When BranchCache is enabled, if there is a request for data across the network, a copy of the data or file is downloaded from the intranet website or a file server and it is cached locally within the branch office. As the need arises if another user in the branch requests the file, the user gets access to the content almost immediately as it is downloaded from the local cache rather than over a limited bandwidth connection back to headquarters.

Now I love my iPhone but I will openly admit that that coverage on AT&T’s network is nowhere near as good as my coverage was when I was on the Verizon Wireless Network.

Now it seems Verizon is letting people know, in a clever spoof to the iPhone “There’s an app for that” commercials

Watch below “There’s a map for that”

Net neutrality: FCC proposes three new rules

The FCC’s net neutrality guidelines would be a bill of rights for Internet users by prohibiting providers from blocking legal content or cutting connection speeds without explaining why.

The Obama administration proposed new rules of the road for the Internet Monday, standing up for the consumer-oriented principle known as net neutrality.

The guiding idea is that the big cable companies that build the information highway shouldn’t exert much control over where users drive.

Or, to cast the debate more specifically, proponents say it’s about making sure that Comcast or Time Warner doesn’t unfairly limit the potential for the next Facebook or Skype to arise.
