We all enjoyed iOS 4.2.1 on our iOS devices: it brings multitasking for iPad, folder, AirPlay (sort of) and wirelessly iOS printing which is called AirPrint. But AirPrint is currently on Mac OS X only and works with some HP-printers. Mac users can use Printopia to enable AirPrint for non-compatible printers. Windows users can do the same now!


For Windows users who want AirPrint to work with their computer there is a new tool works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows called ‘AirPrint Activator.’

After downloading the tool from the link below, install and activate AirPrint for Windows. Then you have to have the printer in System Preferences (printer properties) to share. Already, all printers under Windows 32-bit or Windows 64-bit for iOS 4.2.1 and AirPrint available. Please note that AirPrint.exe must be enabled in Windows Firewall. [via 9to5mac]

MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has just tweeted that Ultrasn0w unlock is on it’s way and you’ll be free at last. The unlock for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS on baseband 05.14.02 (iOS 4.1) and baseband 05.15.04 (iOS 4.2.1) will be released this Sunday.

Good progress today…everything is on track for updated ultrasn0w by Sunday/Funday at the latest (longer for iPhone4!)

MuscleNerd has wished a happy Thanksgiving today for everyone and told people not to wait for unlock today because they celebrate with their families too! Apparently, the latest Ultrasn0w update will work with iPhone 3G and 3GS and it may take a bit longer to release iPhone 4 integration. Anyway, stay tuned as we'l post immediately whenever the tool is updated and available.

Everybody’s loving iOS 4.2 for iPad: it brought multitasking to the tablet, folders, AirPlay (sort of) and, ehm, AirPrint. We have already talked about this. As more users upgrade to the new iOS every day and jailbreak it using the latest version of Redsn0w, they need really a list of compatible Cydia apps and tweaks.


MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has published a spreadsheet on Google Doc showing the compatible Cydia apps, you can navigate to this link to check the list of apps & tweaks in Cydia compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the color is green that means it works with no problems, if it's yellow it means that it have some problems. Any you know, red ones are unusable and not working. The list should be upgraded consequently when an app gets iOS 4.2.1 compatibility.
