WhatsApp 2.6.x on iPod touch

WhatsApp is an instant messenger service for the iPhone (and previously) the iPod touch & iPad. For some reason unbeknown to me they removed (in a recent update) iPod touch. Luckily, being the pro haxx0r that I am (:P) I found a way around this :) REQUIRED JAILBROKEN iPOD
1) Download (using iTunes) the latest update to WhatsApp
2) Right-click the app in iTunes and choose 'Show in Explorer'
3) MAKE A BACKUP OF THE IPA the close iTunes
4) Use 7-Zip/WinRAR/any other zip browser to open the .ipa before extracting Payload/WhatsApp.app/Info.plist and open it in a plist editor
5) Scroll down to the bottom and remove the whole dict that says something to do with RequiredCapabilites (right from the down to the )
6) Save the Info.plist and overwrite the one in the iPA
7) Now the update will sync in iTunes
8) You'll find you can't enter a phone number in WhatsApp yet. Fire up Cydia and install WhatsPad (yes it says iPad but install it anyway)
9) Respring when installed
10) Enjoy WhatsApp on your iPod touch! :)

Siri and iOS 5 GM

Just a quick post to let you all know: 1) iOS 5 GM was released last night. It doesn't require UDIDead to install on iPhones / iPods / iPads which have no UDID registered. There is no developer check in this release 2) As soon as the iPhone 4S firmware is out and decrypted I plan to look into the Siri feature. Devs have told us that much of it exists in the iPhone 4 FW already under the name of 'Assistant' but it can't be used. As soon as the FW gets available I'll see what I can do. Hopefully 0wnSiri will exist :) we can only see. Getting an iPad 2 port shouldn't pose a problem (Since it has the same CPU) and perhaps A4 devices too but if the code references certain parts of the hardware patching may have to occur (which we don't want if possible) but at this stage it's almost impossible to know =/ I'll keep y'all posted. Before releasing I'll test on my iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4. If successful y'all be the first to know! ~Christopher
