Sn0wBreeze 2.9.5 supports unteathered IOS 5.1 Jailbreak for iPhone 4 (GSM)



Sn0wBreeze has been updated to support an unteathered 5.1 (and 5.1.1) jailbreak on the GSM iPhone 4 and 3GS.  iPhone 4S users will need to use RedSn0w.

It also contains a fix for 3GS users using the 6.15.00 baseband having trouble with location services.  So, if you've switched to the iPad baseband and are encountering issues with your GPS, download Sn0wBreeze and watch the problem disappear :-)

New iPad doubles as hot plate?

Last week, a co-worker pointed out that the A5X CPU on the new iPad was 10% larger than its counterpart on the iPad 2, however still uses the same 45 nm architecture as the iPad 2.

This raises a question - is the new iPad prone to turning uncomfortably warm or overheating?  Looks like the answer may be yes.  According to multiple sources, when holding the iPad upright, it gets warm in the lower left corner:

Naturally there have been some "iPad Fire" jokes.  Ha, ha, ha. While this may remind many of the iPhone 4 antenna fiasco, keep in mind back in 2009 there were reports of the iPhone 3GS overheating that turned out to be unsubstantiated. So, we'll see.
