The iDongle has been in the making since early January, an electronic engineer graduate named Renaud got frustrated when his iphone 3GS went dead while he was out and his iPhone got stuck on the apple restore screen. Renaud being frustrated with his tethered jailbreak and always having to worry about his iPhone going dead, thought of the iDongle. The iDongle is a hardware gadget running off of your traditional 9v battery that is able to boot your tethered jailbroken iphone/ipod if it were to go dead while you are on the run. Did I mention it also has the ability to jailbreak your un-jailbroken iPhone/iPod that is on firmware 3.1.2 or lower. This is a must have if you have an iPhone or iPod and have to deal with the tethered jailbreak we all dread. Read more…
Everybody is trying to capitalize on gadgets and usually the magic word is ‘iPhone’. You got iPhone cases, cleaning products, skins, sleeves, underwear, rocks… and a pair of jeans. That’s right, the WTF product of the day, is a pair of jeans *compatible with the iPhone and iPod Touch*
The WTFjeans have two front pockets, both divided in two separate pockets, where you can stick an iPhone, iPod Touch, USB sticks, or any gadget you like. The interior of the pockets is made from micro-fiber that will protect your iPhone or iPod touch, as well as cleaning it when you take it out. Read more…
Back to the nightmare of explosions on Apple products, in fact, a few days ago in a school in West Newbury, Massachusetts, a girl’s iPod has suddenly exploded.
Fortunately there were no major damage, thanks to the prompt intervention of firefighters and police. It was not made known the model of the iPod, but most likely the cause that triggered the explosion is due to the battery.

Apple has reportedly started allowing older iPod touch owners to upgrade to iPhone OS 3 for no charge.
The information comes via PocketGamer’s Tracy Erickson,
Syncing a second generation iPod touch today with an older version of the software prompted me to accept the free upgrade. How exciting.
Just as when asked to download and install the latest firmware on an iPhone, iTunes simply asks for confirmation – no signing in to pay for the software.
If anyone can independently confirm this please let us know in the comments…

The iPhone Dev-Team has just released redsn0w 0.9.4 to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G (No unlock for 3G), iPod touch 1G and iPod touch 2G (older Non-MC models only). Do not update to iPhone 3.1.3 firmware yet if you want to preserve your unlock for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod touch 2G (new models) and iPod touch 3G. This is because the new iPhone 3.1.3 firmware updates baseband to 05.12.01 on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G which makes it impossible to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS and 3G.

The iPhone Dev-Team has released RedSn0w 0.9, a cross-platform jailbreaking, unlocking, and customizing tool for iPhones and iPod touches. This version adds support for the iPod touch 3G as well as IPCC tethering.
How is it different from blackra1n?
- It offers custom logos and verbose boot
- It installs Cydia, afc2, and the IPCC tethering hack without needing separate downloads. Because they’re all installed in one go, redsn0w doesn’t need the multiple levels of installs that blackra1n requires.
- It uses their original Pwnage bootrom exploit for iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, and iPod 1G. (Because it’s a bootrom exploit, it can’t be fixed by Apple without a new hardware release.) Note that redsn0w 0.9 does use the USB exploit for iPhone 3GS and iPod 2G+3G running 3.1.2, but that exploit will be fixed in Apple’s next FW release. Read more…
