Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Dev Team says, regarding the DFU problems with Mac OS X 10.5.6 that: “We believe this behavior is due to a kernel bug not a specific countermeasure by Apple. Possible fixes are (try at your own risk!) -
1. Replace the following plugin kexts from within IOUSBFamily.kext with the ones from 10.5.5 and then rebuild kextcache (if you don’t understand this, then you shouldn’t attempt it!)
2. Use a USB hub in-between the DFU device and the Mac and insert/reinsert the iPhone’s USB cable.
3. Use a PwnageTool created .ipsw on Windows! Oh the irony!”
Then the Dev Team gives an update on progress with jailbreaking the iPod Touch 2G.
Here the team says: “Currently we are not investigating the iPod touch 2G. Other people outside the Dev-Team are looking into this, but we are not at the moment.
“Please don’t hassle us with comments and requests about this, they’ll just be deleted and ignored. If we do look at this device it will be sometime in the New Year and we’ll inform you guys if and when we commence this work.
“We would like to reiterate that this is not because -
- We are mean
- We are turning our back on the iPod touch community
- We have been paid off by JFK, Princess Diana or Elvis
“This is because -
- We have been busy with the 3G unlock.
- We have been busy with the CCC talk.
- Only one of us has a iPod touch 2G (but we’ll see what Santa brings)
- Our employers don’t get as excited as us about hacking expensive pretty devices
- Unfortunately our partners, parents and pets need occasional attention too.”
So... a nice collection of updates from the iPhone Dev Team, promises of more to come in 2009, and the long awaited iPhone 3G unlock now only days away!
