While Google Android is eating away the Apple iOS dinner as it's already surpassed the gross usage numbers and new Android mobile-os powered devices are popping-out almost a few weeks, as not-expected Apple has let down it's fans by just releasing a not-so-major successor to company's flagship mobile phone "iPhone 4" - named "Apple iPhone 4S". As everybody was eagerly awaiting a brand new, feature rich "Apple iPhone 5" the rumors are now put to a rest as Apple's new phone (Apple iPhone 4S) is now officially unveiled and there is no iPhone 5 for the time-being.

Complete specifications of new Apple iPhone 4S with features, images, rates, availability, and videos posted after the jump.

Popular iPhone hacker group "iPhone Dev Team" member musclenerd tweeted screenshots of upcoming "in-development" iPhone jail-breaking utility redsn0w, the images show redsn0w-0.9.8b5 and does not feature any "Browse" button which is there in all current versions allowing users to manually browse the iOS .IPSW files.

We are always busy, but are actually bored deep down, so time and time again we try every possible means to amuse ourselves. Hardly anyone can resist the temptation of fantastic videos, so enjoying movie on “in” communication devices like iPhone iPad is a brilliant way to cheer up.

But what if you are too busy to wait for the annoying format conversion and sync process? What if you want to save hundreds of videos, whether watched or not, on your iOS devices? To make it easier and more accessible to play more videos on iPhone or iPad in consideration of memory size as well, Digiarty Software, Inc. produces Air Playit, an audio video streaming tool for streaming any video in any format to iPhone iPad directly from PC or Mac via Wifi, 3G or 4G.

With Air Playit, you can watch videos as many as possible on your iOS devices while taking no space. Air Playit is composed of 2 parts: the server part is on your PC or Mac getting ready for streaming media to your iPhone or iPad, for example, import video folders from your computer or iTunes Playlist to the “Shared Folders” for streaming;

A must watch video for every tech-lover, this is the future of our books. "Al Gore's Our Choice" is an interactive app for Apple iPad and iPhone, featuring America's vice president's narrative tour spiced-up with great photography, interactive graphics, animations, and more than an hour of engrossing documentary footage this is simply a great experience.

In India Apple iPhone is neither a common-device nor is it officially available for any other service provider than Airtel and Vodafone, and hence customer-care representatives of non-iPhone carriers fail to provide a working GPRS settings for these devices. The same problem was faced by me while configuring IDEA GPRS on my friends Apple iPhone 4, luckily configuration was as simple as entering IDEA specific "APN" value just like we did in BSNL GPRS Configuration earlier.

Recently Opera for iPhone got approved in the iTunes store and now Firefox is ready to bring the Firefox experience to the platform - sadly, not as an full blown individual web-browser but as an iPhone application dubbed Firefox Home letting users instant access to their Firefox desktop history, open tabs and bookmarks on iPhone via Firefox Sync service.

Here is an excerpt from the official announcement posted at the Mozilla blog :

"Firefox Home for iPhone is part of a broader Mozilla effort to provide a more personal Web experience with more user control. For devices or platforms where we’re unable to provide the “full” Firefox browser (either technically or due to policy), we aim to provide users with “on the go” instant access to their personal Firefox history, bookmarks and open tabs on their iPhones, giving them another reason to keep loving Firefox on their desktops."

A video sneak peak of the preliminary, non-branded version of the Firefox Home app for iPhone is also posted and can be seen after the jump.

Few days ago I shared a post on how to activate and setup BSNL 3G on your mobile phone, however, if you are using Apple iPhone 3G/3GS then sadly BSNL does not provide you any automated method to configure iPhone specific 3G settings, sending an SMS with iPhone as phone model to receive configuration settings result in the reply below.

After lots of tinkering I was able to get BSNL 3G working on my Apple iPhone 3G and surprisingly all it needs is a single APN value to get configured as demonstrated below.

As anticipated few months ago iPhone worm's and viruses have now started to appear in wild, Mac security software provider Intego Security has unveiled a new hacker-tool dubbed iPhone/Privacy.A which utilizes the default SSH password vulnerability in jailbroken iPhone's to gain access to iPhone's data enabling hackers to steal users email, contacts, SMS's, calendars, photos, music files, videos and virtually anything on users device.

Written in Python the iPhone hacking utility allows hackers access to victim devices from computer's running Windows, OSX/Unix and Linux allowing them to do anything with stolen data, to prevent yourself from this and similar threat's all you need to is to change the default SSH password on jailbroken iPhone's and iPod's following the simple how-to guide provided next.

You may soon need an anti-virus solution for your Apple iPhone and iPod Touch devices as there seem to be an increasing number of reports claiming virus and trojan outbreaks on jail-broken iPhones, almost an year ago iPhone Trojan named '113 prep' created quite a buzz being the first virus/Trojan for iPhone appearing onto the radar, now iPhone users are reporting strange message popups on there devices.

Despite this being suggested as an iPhone Virus or Trojan by some forum members I am very much sure that it is nothing more then a prank, but considering the current scenario of increasing number of jail-broken iPhones having ability to install unverified cracked applications this can soon lead to make malware creators target these devices.
