Flash Enabled Skyfire Web Browser Available On Apple Store

Skyfire is a popular mobile web-browser available on Windows Mobile, Google Android, and Symbian platforms, unlike other mobile web-browsers Skyfire renders requested webpages on a proprietary server and then relays the result to end user's mobile phone. Using the same server-side rendering technology Skyfire is now available on Apple iOS letting users enjoy Adobe Flash powered videos on webpages which is not natively supported. While Flash has already been ported to some extent on iOS via Project Frash but Skyfire is available via official Apple Store and does not require a jailbroken phone to work like Frash.

Apple Forces Baseband Requirement For iOS 4.2.1 Update

Developer of popular TinyUmbrella application has confirmed an interesting development on Apple's strategy to block carrier-unlockers, starting from recently released iOS 4.2.1 Apple seem to be enforcing a minimum baseband (bootrom) version requirement for users trying to upgrade their firmware. Users have resorted on tools like TinyUmbrella and Sn0wbreeze to update their device firmware to latest version keeping an older unlockable baseband version letting them enjoy the newest Apple iOS version while retaining a carrier-unlocked phone, this has changed for now until someone hacks their way-in finding a new way to get around this. The worst part is that if you try to use an older baseband updating to stock iOS 4.2.1 you will be stuck in recovery mode with no option but to restore back to iOS 4.1 or iOS 4.2.1 which means no carrier-unlock.
