The secret of the design of the iPod nano and iPod shuffle

What you see above is a Confidential draft stolen from the labs of Cupertino that gives away the secret behind the design of two very different products, not only New iPod nano but even the shuffle. He laughed, but soon we miss .

And indeed, if split in half old iPod nano, roughly you'll be in his hands the two trinkets : a quadrant by iWatch Imperishable and a shuffle with the click wheel , ie a blow to innovation and the tacit admission that the previous model was half flop.

[SHAtter] [UPDATED] New Jailbreak for ALL Existing iOS Devices Forever

According to a new post on the iPhone wiki from the well-know iPhone hacker p0sixninja, reveals some information about the exploit (named SHAtter) discovered by him and pod2g. The information refers to a new bootrom based exploit which will make all current iOS devices always perform the jailbreak forever.

p0sixninja worked a lot for this vulnerability, then pod2g made a process to run the exploit on iOS 4.1 yesterday. SHAtter is the codename source for this exploit, this vulnerability acts on the hardware of the device, so Apple can't close this hole, only on the new devices.

All Apple devices produced before the release of this exploit will be free forever, including the newly released iPod touch 4G and the iPad. The next jailbreak may be tethered (not confirmed yet) which means you have to connect your device to your computer to be able to reboot it.

Anyway Apple loses the fight. As usual, we will keep you informed by any updates about this jailbreak that will frees all devices. [via Twitter]

Update 1: p0sixninja discarded the tweet and deleted SHAtter page from the wiki blog because the information was accidently misleading. Will Strafach updated his post to include more information and facts,

- We have not yet announced if this is tethered or untethered
- We have not yet announced details about the exploit
- Anything you read saying it is one of the above in definite terms is just speculation, again, we have not given official word about the tether status or any details regarding the exploit used.

We will keep updating for more information we get.

iFixit dissects the new iPod shuffle [photo]

It was only a matter of time for engineers iFixit publish their photo gallery on the dissection of the latest
products presented by Apple. This time it's the turn of the smallest : iPod shuffle. We had shown the images in real time with the conference. The design is a clear return to the previous two generations ..

The removal of the outer shell of aluminum took over half an hour because of an adhesive layer placed for further protection . The battery is soldered directly on the logic board : the price to pay when buying a device this small. Battery life , tested by engineers, was measured at 15 hours and the date of manufacture of the product ranges from July 2010 to August 2010.
As usual, the engineers at iFixit conclude their photo- gallery with the list of strengths and weaknesses. The fact that the controller is connected to the logic board through a connector is great for quick repairs. The strength and robustness of the product is excellent due to the absence of moving parts or sensitive as the display. Unfortunately, to open it must inevitably break even because of the use of connectors increasingly thin and fragile . After the jump find the photos removed.

There are Only 44 Million Active Monthly iOS Users, not 104 Million "Facebook Says"

It was just a week ago when Facebook posted that there's over 150 million active monthly users on mobile platforms, 104 million of them were browsing Facebook on the service’s popular iPhone app. This was a rather false figure, Engadget got in touch with Facebook and has updated its figures saying that there are only 44 million active monthly iOS users not 104 million. Here's what they say,

There are currently 44 million monthly active users of the Facebook for iPhone app. We recently changed the definition of mobile active users to exclude those who have only liked or commented on stream stories. Instead we are counting “active” users as people who have taken explicit actions within an application. This practice is more aligned with how we count overall active users for the site.

Well, it still an impressive figure. In my opinion, the 44 Million active monthly users are using iPhone and iPod touch not iPad, as the Facebook app bugs a lot on the iPad.
