For long has twitter and other sites been swarmed with rumors that Apple is developing a 7″ iPad have been shot down by none other than the head honcho himself, Steve Jobs confirmed that at the 4th Quarter Apple Conference Call he confirmed that the rumored 7″ iPad is not in Apples iron sights right now and may not be for sometime now.

The iPad in my opinion is just the right size for just about anything, for movies you can switch to a landscape view and for websurfing a portrait view and the size of the current iPad is perfect its not too big and not too small, it isn’t even heavy like other tablets are a 7″ iPad would be useless and just make the iPad lose its touch, the screen size on the current gen iPad is enough for everyone while a 7″ iPad will demand more room on your arms and will make it a burden to hold.

Yep, You heard it right, Freaking $8,000,000 iPhone 4 is the world’s most expensive phone yet and the reason for that is its covered all the way from top to bottom with Diamonds. This iPhone 4 has been designed by British designer Stuart Hughes.

The iPhone 4 is Rose Gold Plated and covered with 500 diamonds. The phone was made for some Super Rich Australian Businessmen.

From Small World:

The handset is wrapped in more than 500 individual flawless cut diamonds totalling 100 carats.

It features two interchangeable diamonds which fit over the ‘home’ button – a single cut 7.4ct pink diamond and a rare 8ct single cut flawless diamond which are together worth more than £4 million.

The back of the phone is plated in rose gold and the Apple logo glitters with 53 diamonds.

The price of the phone is a mind blowing 8,000,000 Dollars and we can only imagine the iPhone4 in our own hands in dreams. :p

According to them the Jailbreak is complete and will be released on the confirmed date.

I guess sunday will be a funday after all

Things have progressed to the point where we don’t expect anymore roadblocks. ETA for greenpois0n is 10/10/10 at 10:10:10AM

The GreenPois0n Jailbreak is based on a low-level bootrom exploit which will pwn all supported current iOS devices for life. To avoid this Apple wont be able to patch it through a firmware update but a revised version of those iOS supported deceives would have to be released. The new Jailbreak is also capable to hacktivate iPhone 4, running iOS 4.1.

A few weeks ago, An Update to the PayPal App was confirmed which would allow you to capture (front and back side) photographs of your check to deposit it instantly and that update has been released a few while earlier.

From the app’s official page:

Use the PayPal app to send money to your friends and family, add a check to your PayPal account, and lots more. It’s faster and easier than going to the ATM, writing checks, or sending gifts the traditional way. You can even use it to manage your PayPal account – anytime, anywhere.
• Easily send cash gifts, collect money for a group gift, or repay a friend.
• Have fun and use the “Bump” feature to exchange contacts or send money.
• Give back and donate to a charity, you can also post it on Facebook.
• Stay connected with your money. Check your PayPal balance, withdraw funds, request money, and more.
Don’t have a PayPal account? It’s quick, easy, and free to sign up for one at paypal.com.

What’s New in Version 2.7

• Check capture lets you snap a photo of a check and the amount gets added to your PayPal account
• History improvements make it easier to find past transactions with new search and filter options

But the App has limited the maximum deposit to 1000$ per check and $3,000 per month which means that it wont totally replace check-depositing, So for larger deposits you still have to go to the bank. Just to let you know that PayPal has limited this and its nothing to do with the app.

Also do make sure that you get the latest PayPal App Version for your iPhone. Download PayPal for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad [iTunes Link]

GreenPois0n which is an infamous jailbreak of anything and everything Apple, though right now there is a challenge of whether devices running iOS 4.1 can actually be jailbreak, well GreePois0n is allegedly coming out with an “ultimate” jailbreak tool that will jailbreak not only the iPhone 4 but every other iOS 4 device, the problem is there is no release date but as the old saying goes ” You can’t rush perfection” so maybe the unannounced release date is actually a good thing. The tool is going to be a low level version of the popular SHAtter exploit.

In related news a hacker from the iPhone Dev Team who goes by the alias of “p0sixninja” has confirmed a work around so that jailbreak iPhone 4′s can bypass the activation phase of iTunes. It has also been reported that the people who are on the 05.14.02 baseband won’t be able to jailbreak until the new version of Ultrasn0w is released.

The challenge of tackling the iOS 4 jailbreak may seem like a long and endless fight but now there is a light at the end of the tunnel and maybe we can expect these to release sooner than expected, let’s keep our hopes up and keep our eyes open for any new updates.

Apple has just approved the use of a new BitTorrent App for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Soon after the relaxation of its App Store Restrictions, The first apps to benefit from it were Google Voice clients (like GV Connect and GV Mobile+) and now this app named IS Drive which is basically a BitTorrent-based torrent managing app has been approved by Apple.

Previously known as Jack Torrents, The app was available through Cydia only for the jailbroken iOS devices. The new app will allow ImageShack’s torrent service users to manage their torrents from an iOS device.

From the App’s official page:

This app allows you to check and manage the downloads in your ImageShack Drive account. For downloaded videos, you can even view thumbnails (if ImageShack is able to provide them).

Developer Derek Kepner, in an interview with TorrentFreak, said:

I’m on dangerous ground here, and I know that, I’ll probably add a search feature where it’s up to the user to manually add the torrent site they want. The app will not be designed to easily break the law and I hope no one intends to do so. But if a user is determined to break the law, what business is that of mine or Apple’s? They could do the same in Safari anyway, right?

The app is availble for download and costs 4.99$ from the Apple App Store. Download IS Drive for iOS [iTunes Link]

Update:
As expected the app has now been pulled from the App Store.
