notcom a.k.a semaphore has released a new version of TinyUmbrella (v6.01.00) to add support for iOS 6.0.1 that was released last week and also to add support for iPad mini and iPad 4 that went on sale on Friday.
TinyUmbrella allows you to take backups of SHSH blobs (ECID SHSH) that can be used to downgrade to older iOS versions even after Apple stops signing the iOS firmware file.
Hot on the heels of jailbreaking iPad mini, the jailbreak dream has also successfully jailbroken the 4th generation iPad that also went on sale on Friday along with Apple’s smaller iPad.
Grant Paul aka chpwn has tweeted the screenshot of Cydia running on the jailbroken 4th generation iPad.
Analysis published on AnandTech reveals that the new A6X chip has graphics powered by PowerVR SGX 554MP4 GPU. Bottom line—yes the iPad 3 4 is faster than the iPad 4 3 (ugh death by typo monster). I’ve only just started playing with my 4th generation iPad (like finally got all the apps loaded from my restore), but I have noticed that it does seem faster.
Launch day is beginning to wind down around the world. Everyone is at home setting up new devices. Which, brings up the question—how did it go for Apple? Some reports are smaller than normal crowds. Other reports are iPad minis have sold out in other places with New York City having record crowds. What gives?
In the last of our unboxing videos (iPad mini and iPad mini Smart Cover), I unbox the 4th generation iPad. How does it look? Just as awesome as my 3rd generation, but with a lightening connector. How does it perform? Now that’s for later.
Hot on the heels of disassembling the iPad mini, iFixit has also disassembled the 4th generation iPad, which also went on sale in 34 countries earlier today.
The 4th generation iPad looks exactly like the iPad 3 (new iPad), but it comes with a number of improvements such as Apple’s new faster A6X chip, FaceTime HD camera, expanded LTE support and Apple’s new Lightning connector.
On Monday, Google unveiled the larger version of the Nexus 7 tablet – the Nexus 10 to compete with Apple’s full-sized iPad, which has been dominating the larger tablet market.
