Apple appears to have approved an iPhone application capable of managing BitTorrent downloads.


BitTorrent, a free, open source file-sharing application for distributing large software and media files, while has wholly legitimate uses for businesses, organisations and individuals, can be used for sharing illegal files and infringing copyrights.

The iPhone application, IS Drive allows users to check and manage downloads from ImageShack.us, which offers image hosting, free photo sharing and video sharing, along with the company's paid download BitTorrent service.

TorrentFreak, a weblog dedicated to bringing the latest news about BitTorrent, claims IS Drive may have slipped through Apple's approval process simply by avoiding using the term BitTorrent.

Apple Inc. recently released the iPhone 4G iOS 4.1, but there are hackers who just want to jailbreak it, and the reason is why are they jailbreaking it so early. One of the main reasons that the users want to jailbreak the latest iOS is for the Cydia applications
and that one can also use the GameCenter on their iPhone 3G with Redsn0w 0.9.6.

Apple has announced that the latest beta of its iOS 4.2 software comes with printer support. The AirPrint feature allows users of the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch to print wirelessly over Wi-Fi, without needing to install drivers or software.
Although the software is currently only available through Apple’s iOS develop program, Apple says iOS 4.2 will be ready for the masses in November. The first devices to support AirPrint will be HP’s line of ePrint enabled printers.
AirPrint is said to support a full range of print functions through iOS, including page range selection as well as single-sided and double-sided printing. It will also feature a Print Center that coordinates your print queue, so you can keep track of the progress from across the office if you’re so inclined

Epic Games announced at the Korea Games Conference that the developer kit for its popular Unreal graphics engine will soon “generate iOS applications.” In other words, one of the most popular and advanced 3D engines used by console and PC video games will soon be used to produce graphically impressive iPhone iPod touch and iPad games.
Epic demonstrated a tech demo game running the Unreal engine called Epic Citadel [iTunes link] at Apple’s event unveiling the new iPod touch earlier this month, then made the demo available as a free download from the App Store. The demo has since been downloaded one million times, so the unprecedented graphics must have impressed iPhone and iPod-wielding gamer geeks.
Apple has been trying to make the iPod touch and the iPhone the biggest and best portable gaming devices, and depending on how you measure success, the company might have done just that. Casual games and remastered classics have performed well on the platform, and Apple just launched an Xbox Live -like social gaming platform called Game Center.
Epic Games revealed its iOS developer kit plans because it recognizes the potential of the smartphone gaming market. It also revealed that it is running the engine on the Android platform, but it didn’t say when or if that platform would be publicly supported in the developer kit.

A hacker called pod2g claims he’s found an exploit that will allow a jailbreak of iOS 4.1  , and other hackers from the jailbreaking community have confirmed it.
Jailbreaking (overriding Apple’s software lock-down on iOS devices) is usually a cat-and-mouse game: hackers find a new exploit, and then Apple patches it with the next iOS update.
