The developers of the new XMBC Media Centre released the jailbreak application for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and 2nd generation Apple TV. The XMBC Media Centre is the former XBOX Media Centre, which is the open source media centre program. The application is not a thin client streamer or a remote, it is a XMBC client that includes support for playing a variety of codecs, with hardware support for both 720p and 1080p HD video.

With the aid of the new application, you can easily drag and drop different media from your computer or even share it with your home network. Thus, “no longer is your AppleTV2 chained to iTunes.”

However, there are still some minor issues on that need to be straightened out. For example, The touch controls are not designed for 2^nd generation of Apple TV for it was for the previous generation of the device and was ported to iOS devices. Moreover, developers are working on the playback of 1080p content that was a little choppy. The developers are confident that this will be fixed soon.

The jailbreak application of XMBC is available at the Cydia App Store for free which you can easily download and install in your Apple devices. Just follow these easy steps.

• Launch Cydia on your jailbroken iOS device:
• Tap on the Manage Tab and then tap on Sources.
• Tap on the Edit button and then tap add to add the following repo URL to add sources: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/apt/ios/
• After it is successfully installed, tap on the Search tab and search for XBMC.
• Tap on XBMC-iOS to install it on your iPhone.

After you have done these instructions, you will see the icon of XMBC on the home screen.

We already reported about the possible inception of iPad’s second generation. We also heard a lot of speculations and rumors regarding the Retina Display of the gadget. iPad 2 is expected to be released on the end of March and April.

MacRumors found new graphics in iBooks application that are in need of higher resolution suggesting that iPad 2 may come with a display with twice the resolution of the first iPad. Thus, iPad 2 will have 048×1536 screen resolution at 260 DPI compared to current iPad’s 1024×768 screen resolution at 132 DPI.

MacRumors released a statement saying that, “Based on Apple’s marketing efforts for the original “Retina” display, it would suggest a DPI (dots per inch) greater than 300 to exceed the abilities of the human eye. A more practical approach would simply be doubling the resolution of the current iPad (1024×768) to 2048×1536 at a 260 DPI. While not quite a “Retina” display, it would follow with Apple’s efforts to avoid fragmenting their product line. From a developer’s perspective, the doubling of an existing resolution is much easier to support. Apple similarly doubled the iPhone’s resolution from 480×320 to 960×640 when they introduced the iPhone 4. Like on the iPhone 4, older apps can simply run pixel-doubled while native apps will take advantage of the full resolution of the new screens.”

MacRumor also adds that, “The “Retina” definition is based on a specific distance the device is being held from your eye. Since an iPad display would likely be held farther from your face, it would require a lower DPI to achieve the same effect.” This could also be the reason why Apple is planning to use the next generation GPU in future iOS devices and Cortex A9-based multicore processor.
