To everyone that wants to be sure and get there shsh’s saved before sauriks server gets slammed with shsh requests from every jailbroken user in the world plus the new ipads on the market, I suggest you get your shsh blobs now. The main reason i say this is because saurik can’t handle all requests at one time and sometimes you will get a pending message when you open cydia. Remember that spirit is a user land jailbreak meaning that Apple is going to release a new firmware very soon after it’s release so for those of you who aren’t at the front of the line getting your shsh’s saved with sauriks server using cydia and your pending, say goodbye to your shsh blobs since apple stops issuing those as soon as a new firmware comes out and that is where saurik pulls your shsh’s from.. I apologize for the long rant but I just want my readers to know its better to be safe than sorry.

Sharing your current location with a contact could be as simple as a button press in a future iPhone upgrade, according to a new Apple patent application revealed this week.
While the assisted GPS in the iPhone currently allows users to view their own location through the integrated Maps application, the described addition would make it simple and easy to share that data with someone else. The location data could be quickly shared with a person who is currently connected with a phone call, or with someone who was recently sent a text message.

Server logs indicate that Apple may be testing two new versions of the iPhone OS.
The BoyGeniusReport found evidence of two new user agents in their log files. The first, iPhone OS 3.1.3 would be a minor bug fix. The second, iPhone OS 4.0 would be a significant upgrade to the operating system.
Its important to note that user agents can be faked; however, its fairly obvious that Apple would already be working on the next update.
