iOS 4.2 Drops Today

[NessLookAlike]

So no Find My Iphone for my 3GS?! Even though it works if you pay for a MobileMe account?!

I don't want to go off on one if I've got the wrong end of the stick, but if I haven't - that SUCKS.

That's kind of BS. the 3Gs gets all the features of iOS 4.x & yet we don't get this feature? There's obviously no technical reason they can't do this so why hold back? Oh that's right, Apple needs to do little things to force an upgrade.

Sometimes I do hate Apple.

Now we just need the JB to drop. Perhaps a Thanksgiving Surprise? We shall see.

Now calm down guys, its possible that there will be a way soon for pre-iPhone 4 people that have jailbroken their devices to spoof themselves as iPhone 4's and qualify for the service. Anything's possible with jailbreaking, right?

time for a new article, MMI.

It's like anything else. Example game consoles. Ps1 came out them ps2 came out then Ps3. I am sure you can't get support for PS1 and who knows about ps2. It's technology you can't keep up, well not unless you have tons of money. Miscrosoft does the same thing with the OS. I am sure the android phones will follow the same thing, just wait and see.

I am hopeful that something like this will happen but again it is just bit of BS on Apple's part. The 3Gs isn't an old phone, a year & a half old, & I don't think it would have killed them to at least add that phone to the mix for Find my iPhone.

This is just a clear cut case of Apple being a douche about their services and only doing just "enough" to compete with other companies.

I thought it was weird the iPod 2 had wallpaper on the iOS 4.2 page on apple.com

Funny. I didn't know the iPod Touch 2g and 3g could get FaceTime. Also, what's with the iPod Touch 2g getting homescreen wallpaper? Looks like a screwed up picture.

does limerain or greenpoison still jailbreak

Funny. I didn't know the iPod Touch 2g and 3g could get FaceTime...

lol, that was also the first thing i noticed

What's even worse is they show the camera and FaceTime on the iPod touch user guide that comes preinstalled as a Safari bookmark on a 2G and 3G. I also like how they make the 2g and 3G a little dusty looking but the 4 is all shiny.

Someone please upgrade their Apple TV and see if you can now stream video such as MKV or MP4 formatted files.

Is there a set date when they will release it ?

How do I know if my shsh blobs are saved? In cydia, at the top of the screen, it says "SHSH: iOS 4.1, 4.2b3". Does this mean they're saved for 4.1? I have an iPhone 4 at 4.1.

If you have Tiny Umbrella (which you should because that's the only way to get 4.1 saved), there's a button in the top right I believe that shows you what you have saved. Cydia is kinda messed up on that right now and shows 4.1 and 4.2b3 for everybody. Or at least me, and I don't have 4.2 saved.
