iPhone SDK 3.0 is out for developers

The new firmware for the iPhone has come out for developers, and is to come to the end users by later this year around summer. The newest features are really interesting and should make you reconsider if you want to get it or not if you have an iPod Touch. In recent weeks, the iPod Touch 2g has finally been jailbroken, and that allows you all to use it for homebrew purposes and now once the official supported jailbreaks come out, I am all for jailbreak. However, once summer rolls around and the 3.0 SDK is released for purchase, the iPhone owners will surely upgrade and then wait for the jailbreak for 3.0 to come out, but it will probably pose a harder change for iPod touch owners.
Among the newest features from apple with the newest firmware, we find copy, cut and paste, landscape mode for notes, and mail, accessory support, and many other features.

Update: You know that bluetooth chip that we all found in the iPod Touch 2G for the Nike+ when we were taking them apart? It turns out that that chip was really a bluetooth chip, and when firmware 3.0 finally comes out, we the proud iPod Touch 2G users will be able to use bluetooth enabled headphones.

Today the iPhone OS 3.0 is coming

We all know how popular the iPhone and iPod touch products have been, and now today is the day that the third version of the iPhone operating system is to come. Read about it at the Gizmodo liveblog where the event will begin at 1PM EST.
On a different topic, do you need Microsoft office? Not willing to drop more than a hundred dollars? Do you have enough morals keeping you from pirating it? Are you a student at a school/college that gave you a school email? Then these deals are perfect for you at Microsoft.

HOLY SHIZ its HERE!

The jailbreak for the iPod Touch 2G has finally come out, from NitroKey, only problem is that it has a price of 15$USD. So, the question now is whether it is better to wait for the free redsn0w or get this. It is firmware 2.2.1.

Have an iPhone, iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch 1G?

If you haven't already then I truly recommend you jailbreak your iPhone/iPod touch. Once you jailbreak your iPhone/iPod touch then a whole new world of home-brew software will be open to you.

What are the pros to jail breaking your iPhone/iPod touch? Well you can change the design of your device, hide some of those apple default apps, emulate older games from those old discarded gaming consoles, use your iPhone as a modem, and so much more!
What are the cons of jailbreaking your device? Well there are absolutely none, and the whole process is free.
Below is a link to a gizmodo step by step guide to jail breaking the iPhone 2g, iPhone 3g, and the iPod Touch 1g

Side note: The iPod touch 2g is still incapable of being jailbroken because of its architecture. We will be bringing you the update as soon as possible. If you are tech-savy enough, then you can hack it, but there is only a tethered and semi-tethered option that is public from the dev team.
