Adobe CEO: Flash Coming to Android, Palm, and RIM 2nd half 2010

Posted by jailbreaknews on Apr 15, 2010 in Apple, Blackberry, Google Android, Palm, Videos, iPhone | 0 comments

Fox News conducted an interview with the CEO of Adobe: Shantanu Narayen. The main focus of the interview was Adobe’s launch of Creative Suite 5, but during the interview Narayen confirmed that a mobile version of flash would be launched for Android, Palm, and RIM in the second half of 2010. Noticeably (although not surprisingly) absent is Flash’s availability on the iPhone OS. Narayen comments on this, saying that Apple has made the wrong decision, and that this hurts the consumer in the end.

Narayen goes on in the interview mentioning that the Flash Player has been updated, which will allow developers more insight into what customers are viewing.

I for one am very excited for the second half of 2010. Mobile Flash could give operating systems such as Android, Palm, and RIM the edge they need to severely hurt iPhone sales. Not only will the inclusion of Flash allow the viewing of flash content on webpages, Shantanu also states that applications for mobile will be able to be created as well. This would bring a whole slew of new, awesome applications to all three of these operating systems.

Flash Mobile is just one of the great reasons to be a non-iPhone conformist. If this catches on, Apple may have no choice but to loosen up that closed, proprietary operating system they so dearly love.

What are your thoughts? Will Flash Mobile be a game changer? Should Apple take note and allow Flash? Will Android, Palm and RIM sales skyrocket? Tell us in the comments below!

iPhone 3G Jailbroken on 4.0 Beta 1 with Multitasking Enabled

Posted by jailbreaknews on Apr 14, 2010 in Videos | 0 comments

It’ll be a while before we see a 4.0 jailbreak released, but the awesome news about this is that multitasking has been enabled on the iPhone 3G. I think this is awesome because of course Steve Jobs said that it couldn’t be done, and that the processor wasn’t strong enough.

Well apparently it can handle it, it might not be able to multitask as much apps as the 3GS can, but the awesome thing is it can be done. Looks like my mom will be able to keep her 3G with T-Mobile and now multitasking

iPhone OS 4.0 Hints at iPod automobile integration

Posted by jailbreaknews on Apr 12, 2010 in Apple, Videos | 0 comments

An TUAW informant has slipped us some video showcasing a new application built into iPhone OS 4.0. Apparently bundled with iPods and iPhones, the new application transforms the iPhone screen into a simple remote control which is used to manipulate a menu system that’s fed out via a video lead. That menu system was captured in the recording shown at the top of this post.
Our source says that information bundled into the application shows that Apple intends this new “iPod out” functionality to be used in automobiles using the iPod Accessory Protocol (IAP). Hints as to this use are found in strings within the application itself. These strings include IAPSimpleRemoteCarButtonNotification and IAPSimpleRemoteCarButtonTypeKey.

He suggests that the application might be used in an Apple-branded car kit, where the user docks his iPhone or iPod touch and gains full access to the onboard audio libraries (no video at this time). The car kit could include both a video screen to show the menus and custom physical buttons that would produce the notifications to allow the user to move through those menus, and select from them.

Other hints in the application point to hands-free phone integration as well (kCTCallStatusChangeNotification). Incoming phone calls would be routed into the same system, allowing users to answer calls without having to pick up their device.

iPhone OS 4.0 is the newest OS for the iPhone family, set to come out this summer. There’s a Beta version for the developer out now, end users have to wait.

My final POV? Don’t upgrade, it could mess up your device, you need your UDID registered, and even that could cost up to $15.
