Apple’s A5 chip serving iPhone 4s and iPad 2 received its first public jailbreak not too long ago and we’ve already seen several tweaks that expand Siri’s capabilities. SiriToggles allows you to open apps and change system settings, while AssistantExtensions offers a plug-in architecture allowing developers to extend Siri functionality (command and GUI snippets). This week we were given yet another fun Siri tweak in Cydia, and it just may be the best one yet.
MyAssistant is a 99 cent app in the BigBoss repo that adds a ton of customization to the virtual assistant. The biggest feature here may be the integration with Activator, the app that lets you pick an activation method for just about any task. When combined with Activator, Siri can [...]

A trio of iOS developers: Grant Paul (Chpwn), Ryan Petrich, and Steven Troughton-Smith have recently released a new Siri port called Spire. This port mirrors all the iPhone 4S Siri functionality and works on the following iDevices: iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad (first generation).
According to a blog post from Chpwn, Spire comes in at around 100mb and the developers recommend connecting to a Wi-Fi network for downloading, not a standard cellular network because of its large file size. As of right now, there have been a few Siri ports which have gone public through Cydia but they were all deemed to be unsafe and illegal by the development community. This was a result of these ports [...]

The Chronic Dev Team has recently published a blog post titled “Weapons of Mass Exploitation” where they provide an update on the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5. It was more of a call to action, asking the jailbreak community to help send in device crash reports via a tool they released called the C-Dev Reporter. The crash reports would help the Chronic Dev Team discover a vulnerability in iOS, which they could use to help release a jailbreak.
In the past, the Chronic Dev Team released GreenPois0n, which was a popular jailbreak tool for iOS 4.2.1. A few months back, they announced that they had discovered 5 new vulnerabilities in the iOS 5 beta and recently a bug in iOS 5 that could possibly [...]

If you don’t already have an iPhone 4S, your wait will still apparently be long according to The Wall Street Journal. Anxious Verizon Wireless customers are reporting more than three weeks for their purchase to arrive. AT&T customers are waiting an average of 21 days as well, and Sprint customers have roughly a two week time period. This new report continues to prove previous claims of Apple experiencing a demand which was slower than expected for their iPhone 4S wrong. Apple stock previously went down due to these claims despite the initial success of the device.
According to the WSJ, the initial sales of the iPhone 4S were quite opposite of the rumors, calling them “unexpectedly strong” in the first month. According [...]
