EXCLUSIVE: Icy Ready to Launch for iOS 4.x this week
We learned from rumours earlier this week that Icy, Ripdevs Cydia alternative that was shut down and made open source after 3.1.x release, is set to make appearance on iPhones and iPads near you. But since we were not sure about the legitimacy of the rumours, we thought to hold back until we could get to the roots of this. And it turns out that folks from Infini-Dev Team have been working hard to bring us back our old Cydia alternative, the fast and light-weight Icy.
Enjoy these screenshots:
Other than Icy, we have also received reports regarding Lima, a completely Mobile Safari based version of Cydia which let’s you browse and install Cydia packages right from Safari on your iPhone or iPod touch. Advantage of this would be no loading times every time you browse to Lima unlike Cydia. We have no ETA’s on when it will be released. Lima was teased running on an iPod touch in the video below:

As of now, Icy has been completely updated to work on iOS 4.x and has entered beta stage. It is being tested for bugs. And since these are no rumours, you can actually go ahead and download the beta version of Icy from here.
P.S. SSH this anywhere on to your iDevice and install using iFile. Respring and enjoy Icy cold Icy.
Thanks to Infini-Dev Team for their hard work. Do let us know what you think about these 2 projects in the comments below.

Read MoreWhite iPhone 4 Thicker Than The Black One
The white iPhone 4 is slightly thicker than the black iPhone 4, according to user reports.
A MacRumors forum member writes, “Just picked up the white iPhone 4 and realized it doesn’t fit into my Incase slider case. It appears that Apple has increased the size of the plastic that borders the glass on both sides by about 1mm. “
Ryan Cash of Marketcircle discovered the same…
A colleague of mine just picked up a 16 GB iPhone 4 in white. I was a bit surprised when I picked it up off his desk (I had my black 32 GB in my other hand at the same time) – it immediately felt thicker. We placed them side-by-side on his desk, and sure enough, the white iPhone was a hair thicker.

Read MoreHere’s How You Can Watch the Royal Wedding on Your iPhone/iPod Touch
The wedding of the year is just hours away. Millions upon millions will be watching the Royal wedding live on TV, but what if you’re unlucky enough to be out of the house when the big event takes place? Don’t worry, we at Jailbreaknews have got your back, thanks to YTLive.
With YouTube launching its live streaming service recently, iOS devices were left out in the cold, but with the help of YTLive, iPhones, iPads and iPod touches can also play host to the Royal wedding in all its streaming glory.
YTLive promises to bring streaming goodness to iOS via their web app. The site works by taking any YouTube Live URL and then converting the Flash stream into something iOS can understand. The result is a (relatively) seamless experience and one that’s certainly better than the alternative of, well, nothing. Just hit play and you’re good to go.
If you’re really into Royalty, you could even stream the wedding on your iPad and watch another channel on your TV. Now that’s multitasking!

Read MorePastiebot: A Twitlonger Replacement for Tweetbot
Filipo Bigarella, the man behind tweaks like Springtomize, CleverPin & FBPhotoSave etc. has come up with yet another tweak for Tweetbot, everyones new favourite twitter client.
We loved the Twitlonger for when we needed to say more than 140 characters to express ourselves. But in an update to Twitter for iPhone last year, support for twitlonger was removed completely. Bigarella has been working on the same idea for the all new shiny & glossy Tweetbot client for iPhone & iPod touch. Pastie for tweetbot adds an extra button to the user-interface while you compose a tweet longer then 140 characters. If triggered, the tweet is sent to pastie and a link is posted with your partial tweet.
Here are some screenshots:
The tweak has been through all the development stages and the beta version is now in hands of the testers. You can download the beta version from Cydia via the iSpazio repo for free.

Read MoreWhite iPhone 4 Finally Available
As we were all expecting, white iPhone 4 is now available on Apple’s online store after few hours of downtime in the US and also in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Macau, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and UK.
The white iPhone 4 is also available on Verizon and AT&T website in the US. Internationally, it should be available in local carrier stores and Apple’s authorized resellers.
MacLife reports that according to Brian White, an analyst at Ticonderoga, white iPhone 4’s “mystique and scarcity value” will drive sales of iPhone 4:
The purchase of consumer electronic devices is not always a completely rational decision, and people buy Apple products for many different reasons, including status, aesthetics, functionality, quality and the ‘cool factor.’
In our view, this delay has created a certain mystique and scarcity value around the white iPhone 4 that we believe could drive incremental iPhone 4 purchases in the range of 1 million to 1.5 million units per quarter until the iPhone 5 potentially comes to market in September.
Some industry observers feel that the late launch of white iPhone 4 is another indication that Apple will delay the launch of the next generation iPhone till fall this year.

Read MoreRumour: Apple acquires iCloud.com for $4.5 Million?
GigaOm is reporting that Sweden-based cloud storage company Xcerion has just sold its iCloud.com domain name for US$4.5 million and that the likely buyer is none other than Apple.
Until recently, iCloud.com was a domain name and a storage-as-a-cloud service owned by Linkoping, Sweden-based desktop-as-a-service company, Xcerion. Xcerion’s iCloud service has just been rebranded to CloudMe, and the company acquired the CloudMe.com domain on April 5, 2011. My source, who is familiar with the company, says that Xcerion has sold the domain to Apple for about $4.5 million.
Recent reports have said that Apple has completed the technical side of its cloud locker and is just finalizing licensing agreements before launching the service. iCloud.com would definitely be a fitting domain for Apple to launch the service on.

Read MoreDreamStore: DreamBoard Themes Store Now Available
We all know and love Winterboard. But it has not been looked after so well ever since the release. That’s when Wyndwarrior thought it was time to change everything again and DreamBoard came into being. It combines perPageHTML and abilities of winterboard and enables themes without the need of a respring.
Wyndwarrior has now announced the DreamStore. A whole new themes store completely dedicated to DreamBoard themes. You can not only purchase paid and free dreamboard themes, but it also provides you with an interface to submit your work on the DreamStore.
DreamStore is not available on Cydia for some reason. Therefore you will have to follow the instructions below to get it working on your iDevice.
NOTE: You will need to have iFile installed on your iDevice for this to work. And the copy of your DreamBoard should not be cracked. If it is, don’t bother reading on.
I’m assuming you already have iFile and DreamBoard installed.
Step 1: Download the .deb file for DreamStore by clicking here.
Step 2: Locate the .deb you downloaded in iFile and tap on it. Next tap Install to install it.
Step 3: Respring you iDevice.
You should now see the icon for DreamBoard on your springboard.

Read MoreWhite iPhone 4 Vulnerable to Limera1n & Redsn0w [updated]
The white iPhone 4 being released tomorrow is susceptible to the limera1n jailbreak, according to tweets by iH8Sn0w.
For future (tomorrow or today) White iPhone 4 users, limera1n is NOT patched and has no difficulty with current jailbreaks.
Also for those wondering, i0n1c’s untether will work for the device as well.
i0n1c’s exploit is iOS based. Since the iPhone 4 runs the SAME iOS, its fine.
Update: We have also discovered by a tweet from Chpwn that redsn0w 0.9.6rc9 is also able to jailbreak the new white iPhone 4.
We will keep you posted once we hear more from the devs on the white iPhone 4 jailbreak.
