that’s right, that’s Cydia.
George Hotz, famously known as the first hacker to unlock the iPhone, shows that he has hacked the iPad. Although it may still be a while till it is released to the public, geohot shows us the following picture on his blog. He also shows us that he has acquired the following keys for the 3.2 iPad Firmware:

And of course, the bootrom:

He says that it should be as easy as Blackra1n. We’ll see soon. . . hopefully.

So however ridiculous it may seem, some sources report that Apple may release a “Mini iPad”.
Now I know what you are thinking. . . . iPod Touch right, but no. This source reports that Apple is actually planning on releasing a smaller version of the iPad. The device should be a 5-7 inches and, of course, be appropriately cheaper than the current versions. The device is going to be marketed to group that needs a more portable device; one where text input may not be quite as important.
Digitimes quoted senior analyst Mingchi Kuo, who also works at Digitimes, as “citing talks with upstream component sources,” who have said the smaller iPad will measure between 5 – 7-inches, and will cost under $400 when it goes on sale early 2011. That price is not a stretch by any means of the imagination, considering the cheapest model of the iPad is available today for $499. Oh well, the idea of a mini iPad made me laugh.
Well Mr. Kuo, it makes me laugh as well.
Hey iPodTouchHackers, it’s been a long time since I’ve updated but this summer should have a lot of Apple action and I hope to give you coverage, hints, tips, and tricks along the way!
iPhone OS is going to have a lot of updates that are really going to change the way people use the iphone.
1. Multitasking
Double click the home button and up pops a “fast-switch” tool bar for your currently running applications. Apple has introduced this update with the following possibilities. Available for Background Audio Streaming, VoIP, Background Location, Push notifications, local application notifications, task completion, fast app switching.
2. Folders
Drag and drop your applications into folders that are automatically subdivided into categories but can also be customized.
3. Home Screens
You can now chose a different home screen and lock screen. One analyst believes the new iPhone will have a sharper screen as well.
4. Finally a universal inbox
5. iBooks – the same app for the iPad . . . just smaller
6. Game Center allows you access to 50,000 gaming titles in the App Store. Game Center brings social aspects to games. Challenge friends, leaderboards, achievements etc.
7. iAd – Apple’s version of ads, makes them more consistent, creative, effective, and probably annoying but we’ll see.
