    Its useless about the iPt1G because it wasnt until the 2G model that they supported buttons on the headphones.

    That the ipt1g doesn't run IOS5, and has a vulnerability in the bootrom that means (like the old 3GS) it can be restored to any iOS version at any time, makes this criticism a little irrelevant.

    Oh, also you're wrong.The iPod Touch 1G has its own headset, that plugs in the dock connector, and has a microphone, earphone, and clicker.It's really hard to get hold of, but so is the iPod Touch 1G.

    That refers to the headphones with the volume buttons...the first iPod Touch 1G had the headphones with just one button...like the first iPhone, you could pause/play, skip, or go to the previous song with the a single, double, or triple click, respectively

    ih8sn0w wont release until there is a real need for it. As it can be patched (stopped) by Apple. It is a one off event.It needs Blobs/Apticket/BBticket as well.. so as he said: "its not bein publicly developed til after the next jailbreak gets patched."(as you wouldn't have all the necessary stuff to do it for 5.0.1)

    Yeah my battery life has been horrible since updating to the latest mobile substrate. I just downgraded back to 0.9.3995.You can download older versions by going to http://apt.saurik.com/cydia/debs/ and using iFile on your iPhone to install the previous version.

    Ok, question. I’ve updated my Mobile Substrate and tested it out. I turned my device off and the back on holding the UP volume. It worked, as my Tweaks etc. were disabled. Now here’s the bad news:I cannot get my tweaks towork. I still have my jailbroken apps etc. I restarted my phone 3 times and each time it hangs at the Apple Boot Logo. The only way i can start my phone up now is by holding down the volume button at the startup. If this is the case then using this feature is not worth it. How do I get my tweaks to work again? I need an answer ASAP. Has anyone come across this issue?

    I need some FIN help!!!!!...... I would not suggest anyone using this feature if you do upgrade. My phone is practically a Semi-Tether at this point. I cannot boot my phone unless I hold the Volume Up at startup. Any tweaks I download do not work. I am very frustrated. Can someone get back to me if they have a way to fix this issue. I need some help. My device was fine until i tested out this new update.

    Just wanted to bring to your attention that I found many websites selling jailbreak/unlock for iPhone 4s on 5.1 firmware. One of them is http://www.jailbreakiphone4s.com/If you enter their contact phone number (0844 884 9594) in Google search. You will find more web sites using this phone number. What they sell to you is Absinthe for 5.0.1 and they (or he/she) are saying that it is their software. Another one is http://www.iphone-unlocker-pro.com/Actually, I found their advertizing on iphonehacks.comSorry if this subject was covered already.
