Traditionally, Apple has always denied its users with older version of a device, access to some new update or feature when a software update comes or some new feature is introduced. This has been Apple’s main strategy to lure its present customers to make the switch to new devices and attract some new customers by marketing on a single new feature as it happened in the case of iPhone 4S “Siri”, the new personal assistant. However, as it turned out there was no need to buy iPhone 4S as some developer had already ported Siri to his iPhone 4.

In addition to Siri, the Cupertino company added some Smooth Multitasking Gestures and AirPlay Mirroring in iOS 5 to the iPad 2. Those using Apple’s thinner, lighter, faster and younger tablet device now have the ability, using four or five fingers, to pinch the screen in-app and bring about the homescreen, making a pleasant change from overusing the home button. In addition, the gestures could be used to bring up the multitasking bar (swipe up) and jump between open apps (swipe left or right).

However,there is another way to get these features on iPad 1 without going through the tedious  jailbreak.

Despite no jailbreak taking place, this hack is executed using a modified version of Redsnow. It will only tweak  a few settings to unlock gestures and mirroring.

These photos could very well be Photoshopped so just consider this as a Runour and Unconfirmed news !

Check out the Pics below :

Looking at these pictures, the first thing that comes to our mind is the Tablet like setup. This stongly indicates a Touchscreen Macbook. If these pics do turn out to be true, then get set for the bigger version of iPhone
