For those of you who are keen on searching for flu vaccines though, we want to point you in the direction of several flu related apps that you can download from the App store on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

First up is Swine Flu Protection, which costs $99 to download and provides you with detailed information on the H1N1 virus, including information on what to do if you think you have been infected with Swine Flu.

If you would like a similar app, but don’t want to pay for it, you may want to try an app called ‘Fight the Flu’, which is currently free to download. It has a simple and easy to use interface, but unlike the first app, this app will provide you with a flu tracker via zip code, allowing you to see the volume of affected people in the area that you live in – pretty smart we say.

Finally, if you’re looking for a lighthearted take on Swine Flu, there’s also a free game which you can download, which puts you straight into the role of a white blood cell which has just been infected by Swine Flu – it’s pretty fun and the trial version is free. Simply search the App Store for ‘Swine Flu’ and you should find it.

On a more serious note, we think you’ll find the second application mentioned above the most useful, particularly since it contains a lot more useful information which is packaged nicely in the interface. If you currently have the flu, download these apps now and let us know your thoughts on them.

We can now confirm that the software is now available and we have a video guide showing you how to install it.

The download links have been provided by the guys over at Redmond Pie, who have also taken the time to shoot a video guide, showing you exactly how to get this running on your device if you are unfamiliar with installing jailbreak software.

You’ll be pleased to know that PwnageTool 4.2 supports almost all devices, meaning that those of you with an iPhone 4 can enjoy this as well. You’ll now be able to make full use of software such as Cydia and you won’t need to reinstall any more software after rebooting your device. PwnageTool 4.2 also supports the iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, 4G and even the recently released Verizon iPhone too.

If you are wondering if this is available on the iPad or Apple TV, rest assured as PwnageTool 4.2 should work just fine as well. If you know what you’re doing, head to RedmondPie for the download links. Just a quick reminder, if you’re planning to use PwnageTool 4.2 on the Verizon iPhone, it will void your warranty with Apple and Verizon – but you probably already knew that.

Check out the video tutorial below. If you run into any trouble whilst updating, leave us a comment below. You can also head to the iPhone Dev Team website here for help from other users.

The Chronic Dev has now released its untethered Greenpois0n, which you can see for yourself here. However, we have to warn that the site has been going offline a lot; this must be due to high demand.

What is so important about this latest version of Greenpois0n is how you can now jailbreak without the need to tether to a computer, not only that but PC World also reports that you no longer have to re-jailbreak your iPhone after you have rebooted it – saving a huge amount of time.

Engadget who first learned of this new version of Greenpois0n reports that you will be able to use it not only for Mac, but also Windows and Linux. They do warn that this version was made quick, so you best hold of – just until we know of any issues.

Techtree warns that iPhone 4 users should avoid this jailbreak, as it does not have a carrier unlock, meaning you will be unable to use your SIM if you do so.

There have been a few reports that the jailbreak does not work, as Greenpois0n has been crashing. Have you managed to download the untethered version Greenpois0n of yet, if so has it worked for you?

Sadly, we don’t have an exact date for when this new untethered GreenPois0n update will release, but you can at least put your mind at ease in that it’s definitely on the way soon. You can check out the video in question below to see it working for yourself.

We’ll be informing you as soon as this download becomes available, but for instant updates on the untethered jailbreak, you can visit the official GreenPois0n website here, and also p0sixninja’s Twitter account here.

Like always, the tutorial guide comes to you courtesy of RedmondPie, as they have given us the important details on ultrasn0w 1.2, which has the ability to unlock certain basebands on iOS 4.2.1, and also iOS 4.1.

It is worth pointing out that this new unlock method does not work with the latest iPhone baseband, instead it will only work on jailbroken iPhones with basebands higher than 05.13.04.

Providing you meet the requirements, you can then head over to RedmondPie for a full guide on getting the unlock to work. As always, those of you with an iPhone 4 will have to wait a little longer for the iPhone Dev Team to work their magic once again.

If you are planning to try out the new ultrasn0w 1.2 software, let us know how you get on.

If you head over to the Apple Support forums, you’ll see that the problem is pretty widespread and is affecting most people when they try to initiate the update process.

Below is a screenshot of the error message which you may have been greeted with:

The good news however, is that the guys over at RedmondPie have compiled a list of steps in which you can take, which should fix the problem for you.

There are 9 steps in total, and you’ll be able to view them below thanks to RedmondPie:

How to Fix Error Code 1013:

Step 1. On your Mac, go to your “Applications” folder.

Step 2. Now navigate to the “Utilities” folder.

Step 3. Launch “Terminal”.

Step 4. Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and hit return.

Step 5. Enter your password

Step 6. Use the down arrow key to find the “gs.apple.com” entries. Once the cursor is in front, make sure you comment out the line(s) by entering “#” in front of the text.

Step 7. Save the file by pressing CONTROL+O.

Step 8. Exit the nano editor by pressing CONTROL+X.

Step 9. Restore your iDevice.

Try them out now and let us know if it worked for you. Just to let you know, we had no such problems updating, but obviously a lot of you did. We’ll let you know if there is official word from Apple regarding this problem.

You can download the Mac version of this jailbreak here and the Windows version of this jailbreak here, however there are some instructions and warnings that you must read beforehand.

You can see all of the information you need to read through beforehand here, the main thing you must know is that ultrasn0w unlockers should not use this jailbreak as it does not allow you to create custom 4.2.1. IPSWs.

There are already well over 1000 comments (here) where people are asking and answering each-others questions, if you are having trouble using redsn0w 0.9.6b4 it is well worth reading this comments as there are plenty of useful tips and how to guides to look at.

Have you successfully used redsn0w 0.9.6b4 to jailbreak your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad?

As reported from BGR, the update is officially known as iOS 4.2.1 Golden Master, and although we’re unsure of what has been fixed up exactly, you can presume that it has something to do with the WiFi issue which apparently stopped the global rollout of iOS 4.2 for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users.

If you have a developers subscription with Apple, you can download it from their dev center now and find out what the update does yourself. Considering that this is the second GM update for iOS 4.2, we’re hoping that there will not be any further delays until the update lands for real.

What are your thoughts on this latest GM update? We’ll let you know if we get any further details on iOS 4.2.1.
