We have been informed by a reliable source that iOS 5 should be available on September 30th at 10 AM PST just the same time as previous update releases.

 

Back in June, iOS 5 was introduced during the WWDC 2011. iOS 5 comes with features as OTA updates, a perfect notifications system, Newsstand, Twitter integration, the Reminder Up, PC-Free feature, the iMessage, Speech-To-Text feature and even more features unveiled in the released betas of iOS 5.

9to5mac earlier this week reported that Apple’s next-generation iPhone will be available in stores starting on Friday, October 7th. The report also included that pre-orders of the iPhone 5 will be available from Friday, September 30th. So the date of iOS 5 release is most likely true as Apple traditionally releases a new update to the public couple of days before the release of new iPhone hardware.

Are you surprised? Yes that’s right we have got some news that the most-famous hacker Geohot behind LimeRa1n jailbreak tool which still used till our day to jailbreak iOS devices. Anyway he dissapeard for some time but today we found that George Hotz (aka Geohot) is actually working for Facebook since May, but why do you think Geohot is working for Facebook? Check Geohot Facebook profile below:


The come-back of Geohot to Facebook amazed all the Dev-Team members and especially P0sixninja who made a video talking about the come-back of Geohot again. Surprisingly, you can’t add Geohot on Facebook as there’s no “Add as a Friend” button. Interesting, isn’t it?

Now give us your thoughts about what kind of work is he doing for Facebook?

The most observant of you surely remember the words of Steve Jobs when, about a year ago, presented FaceTime, the new service from Apple that make video calls from the device IOS, at first only fourth-generation iPhone. With a little ‘amazement, it turned out, indeed it was the same Steve Jobs to announce that FaceTime would have been a feature WiFi only “throughout 2010. At the end of the fifth month of 2011, one wonders if the new iOS 5 things will change.

Certainly almost no one expected that FaceTime also on the 3G network could be introduced without a major upgrade of IOS, which could then update to match its new5.0 firmware that Apple will be presented June 6 on the stage of the Moscone Center during the Keynote d ‘ opening of the WWDC 2011.

Could FaceTime on 3G as one of five new IOS? Very likely. Technically, Apple could implement this function from the beginning. However, to ensure that users always have as an efficient and precise, he preferred to wait and launch FaceTime only WiFi to test primarily the use by users and also to assess the prevalence (FaceTime could initially be used only between 4 iPhone , then also on your Mac, iPod touch and fourth-generation iPad 2), which was limited by its need to be connected to a WiFi network for video calls another contact.

Apple has nevertheless proved to be very careful with regard to this technologyhas been improved with every new iPhone firmware update, both internally and through integration with other applications on Mac and implementing the new cam in HD on newer models models . Precisely for this reason, given also the good results obtained by FaceTime on 3G iPhone on jailbroken (thanks to programs such as 3G Unrestrictor available via Cydia), there would be no surprise that in 2011, just 5 with IOS, Apple will allow users to FaceTime is used in WiFi on 3G.

If this happens, Apple users could hypothetically video calls to each other completely free of charge. However, it remains to understand what might be the response of the Italian telephone operators faced with a similar solution that both recalls the VoIP, certainly not loved by some, and what the actual traffic flow data users.

Recalling the words of Steve Jobs ” FaceTime will only work on WiFi for 2010 “we are quite confident that Apple can implement iOS 5 video in the long-awaited 3G iPhone and iPad 2.
