Many consumers having updated their devices to iOS 4.0.2 in the recent past found that all their jailbreaking efforts had been gone in vain. If reuters are to be believed, Apple is getting more keen on providing more open iPhone 4 and other iOS enabled devices like iPad and iPod. This would mean people being less keen to Jailbreak their devices, in turn, lesser number of people who would like their devices to go out of warranty (as clearly stated by Apple Inc.).

As per cultofmac and Apple‘s own discussion forums, In the past, a leading jailbreaking solution called ‘Jailbreakme’ had actively provided jailbreak solutions for iOS 4.0.1, but the security gaps were fixed by the iOS 4.0.2 recently, causing all iOS enabled devices to be reset to factory settings, and hence nullifying all jailbreak activities on these devices.

With Apple announcing it’s global musical event on 1st Sep’ 2010, experts also suggest that there may be an announcement of iOS 4.1 update along with the new iPod unveiling and more news on white iPhone on your way. So watch out for the updates on your iPhones, iPad’s and iPod’s… and hackers, no recommedations for you (officially).

Watch Flash videos even on your non-Jailbroken iOS devices now!

This should be a good news for all people who have been wondering how they will see Flash videos, specially on platforms like iOS. The popular video-sharing website, Vimeo has come up with a hybrid version of Flash/HTML5 video player which can detect the most suitable format to be played, according to the device you are using. They have really been working on getting this software running, for last over half year and now you can take a deep breath and watch your favourite Flash videos on your iPhone or iPad, without missing out on anything the Android guys are watching.

On the other hand, the largest video-sharing website Youtube.com is also in its testing phase for launching a similar service for iPhone, iPad but currently it is available on the Youtube App only. While all these web rivals are looking for alternatives, Adobe had already launched its Flash 10.1 on the HTC-Google co-branded Nexus One already. Experts are expecting to see the same on other RIM (Blackberry), Palm Pre and more Android enabled devices very soon.
