Here strikes an end to the long awaited untethered jailbreak for Apple’s iPhone 4S and for iPad 2. Almost a year after the Cupertino California Company has launched the A5 processor, ten months after the release of the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S release after 3 months, the extraordinarily talented hacking team at Chronic Dev have cracked the long awaited untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.

Untethered jailbreak allows your devices to run code and applications that are not legal by Apple; this indicates that you can do many more things with your device than what it really offers. In simple, Untethered means that the device stays jailbroken even after it is reset.

The team at Chronic Dev has as well released the Windows version of the jailbreaking tool known as Greenpos0n Absinthe. Similar to Mac, the windows version is easy to use and offers you with an untethered jailbreak for your iPhone 4S and iPad 2 running versions of iOS 5 or 5.0.1.

Joshua Hill, the Team member noted that creating a jailbreak was not an easy task for the Chronic Dev Team. In the Twitter he tweeted that it received over 10 million crash reports in the week after releasing the tool last month, cheering the team to exploit the possibilities of finding out a tool for both A4 and A5 devices.

Further Hill added that the team turn out to be real serious on creating a jailbreak for A5 devices when Apple released the iPhone 4S, last October. Therefore, demand for an untethered A5 jailbreak grew exponentially overnight.

Here we go with a latest update from the Search Giant, Google which has just now unveiled that Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich’s native theme, known as ‘Holo’, is necessary for any Android 4.0 device in order to have access to the Search Giant’s plethora of apps, as well as the Android Market.

As you are aware, that Ice Cream Sandwich’s native UI theme would be seated into the Operating System level of the platform, however, to compulsory access to the Android Market? This is quite a step further than earlier thought to be.

The Search Giant’s default Holo theme is basically a set of UI widgets and design elements, which developers can utilize in developing apps. Despite the fact that this may perhaps indicate that the Search giant has opened the choice to third-party developers to design widgets and apps with the native theme, it does not at all signify that Google is mandating the usage of the theme on anyone, in particular not manufacturers.

Google’s Holo theme will strike as the default theme for any app that does not request exclusively the device’s default skin, which essentially indicates that the look and feel of third-party Android skins, like HTC’s Sense UI, Samsung’s TouchWiz, and others, won’t integrate as deep into third -party apps apart from developers design them to do so.

Now here strikes the latest news of an all new Siri tweak called H1Siri which states to be a full Siri functionality on iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4.

According to the Chinese microblogging service same as the Twitter, the new hack comes from a group of Chinese hackers calling themselves the “CD-Dev Team”, where in the hackers had initially wanted to just run a small test, however as the code was leaked. Now their servers can’t keep up with the demand.

However beyond server unresponsiveness, there are several other fine reasons to skip this hack, including the fact that it appears to break people’s phones and involves running illegal code. According to one of the Sources, which have advised readers to be wary of this new port after its own tests with H1Siri failed, the latest port involves the use of copyrighted binaries from the iPhone 4S. Merely put, it works as it uses illegal code. Notable iPhone hacker “chpwn” (Grant Paul), confirms this.

He as well notes that another good reason to be cautiously before installing H1Siri on your iPhone 4: it gives the software’s creators access to your personal data:

Those are all very good reasons to avoid H1Siri, however if your Siri lust can’t be assuaged, perhaps this last bit of info will: the darned thing doesn’t really work.

However, as the privacy issues that are arguably more concerning for most users. By using the H1Siri proxy, you’re mainly redirecting your text messages, calendar, email, contacts, location and other details via a third-party server, with no guarantees as to what. So it is definitely not worthy.
