100 Million iBooks Sold
In one year, over 100 million iBooks have been sold, according to Steve Jobs.
Now, more than 17,000 Random House books are in the iBooks Store. Jobs states that Apple has over 2,500 publishers in the E-Book Store.


More Statistics
More than 200 million people have an Apple ID, which is probably more than Amazon. Also, Apple paid out $2 billion to the devs.
Over 100 million iPhones have been sold.



Over 15 million iPads have been sold.


While the AppStore has 65,000 apps developed for iPad, the Android Store only has 100.

33% thinner. From 13.4 mm to 8.8 mm, now thinner than the iPhone 4 (which is 9.3 mm). Also, its 0.2 pounds lighter - from 1.5 to 1.3. There are two colors, black and white, and its available on both AT&T and verizon.

Greenpois0n released!

The new greenpois0n jailbreak by the chronic dev team was released a few days ago. This jailbreak uses the Limera1n exploit instead of the SHAtter exploit to save the SHAtter exploit for next generation devices. Greenpois0n supports the following devices:

  • iPod Touch 3G
  • iPod Touch 4G
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPhone 4
All devices need to be on 4.1. There is a Linux and Windows version available here. Greenpois0n does basically the same thing that limera1n does. If you alredy had a jailbreak before, use Limera1n because it is easier to use. If you are a n00b, use Greenpois0n because it has detailed instructions on how to enter DFU-Mode.

Download Greenpois0n.

Limera1n Released!

The new jailbreak limera1n was released today. This should jailbreak not supported by the SHAtter exploit running 4.1 (3.2.2 for iPad). Geohot created this jailbreak in 6 months and it was supposed to be released on Monday (1 year after blackra1n) but insted it was released today before Greenpois0n. The greenpois0n jailbreak will now be delayed because the chronic dev team are planning to use the Limera1n exploit instead of the SHAtter exploit so they can save SHAtter for another bootroom jailbreak that could be used in an upcoming iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.

Limera1n supports iOS 4.1 and 4.0 (upgrade using iTunes).
