If you were Jack Dorsey, one of the co-founders and current chairman of Twitter, you’d want to think about something else big to follow up on your huge success.

While it doesn’t sound like anything groundbreaking, Dorsey’s new company Square is developing a tiny white cube (see photo above) that plugs into the headphone jack on either an iPhone or iPod touch. The cube is a credit card reader, something missing from all of those credit card apps currently in the iTunes App Store. Read more…

CEO John Lilly has announced that Mozilla will release an iPhone app to the App Store in the next few weeks. Lily revealed this information to GigaOM during an interview at the annual confab organized by students of the Haas School of Business at Berkeley.

“Mozilla will release an app to the iPhone app store in the next few weeks,” Lilly said. “It’ll surprise people.”

When asked if Weave was going to be part of the new iPhone app Lily and Jay Sullivan, Mozilla’s VP of Mobile just smiled and remained silent.

Weave is an in-development add-on for Mozilla Firefox. Its purpose is to push metadata out onto the cloud. One use is to allow users to synchronize bookmarks and browsing history across multiple computers, as demonstrated by the Weave Sync component. [W]

Apple has traditional rejected any application which could duplicate or mimic the functionality of current or future Apple apps. It may be difficult for Mozilla to get their app approved.

The bootrom for new 8GB iPod Touch shows that it’s still got 24K overflow…it *may* simply need some address tweaks

Update #1 10/17/2009

We can now confirm that the new 8GB iPod touch is not vulnerable to 24Kpwn. It took just 6 bytes for Apple to fix this:
load_module+16 43 68 LDR R3, [R0,#bdevImg.totalSize]
load_module+18 9A 42 CMP bufsize, R3
load_module+1A 13 D3 BCC FAIL find_named_image(illb): 000100d8 00024100 696c6c62 696d6733
dataSize totalSize illb img3 Given how small the fix is, it seems likely that it was also applied to that updated bootrom of very recent iPhone 3GS devices. We’ll be able to confirm this once we have an actual one of those in hand.

Update #2 10/17/2009

Confirmation that the new 8GB iPod touch is at least a tethered jailbreak. This device doesn’t require personalized img3 files in the way that the iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3G do. For this reason, it will “always” be jailbreakable (no need to rush and get your ECID signed hashes like you do for the 3GS and ipt3G). But for the foreseeable future, it will be a tethered jailbreak only.

Orbit, otherwise known as Expose for iPhone, has been submitted to the Cydia Store and should be available soon.

The application created by Steven Troughton-Smith was inspired by an Ocean Observations concept video. Using the app you can quickly jump to Springboard pages in an Expose type fashion.

Orbit will cost $1.99 to purchase (just enough to make sure he can afford to make a version 2.0) and will be available soon.

Apple has reportedly begun shipping iPhone 3GS units with a new bootrom, which might help combat hacks enabling installation of unauthorized software. However, iPhone hackers say Apple’s new firmware only causes a temporary inconvenience for jailbroken devices, and the handset is still hackable.

“It’s not going to be impossible to jailbreak even if the exploit we used is gone,” said Eric McDonald, a member of the iPhone Dev-Team, which publishes tools to jailbreak the iPhone, in a phone interview with Wired.com.

McDonald explained that Read more…

Some time ago, I looked around for a way to access my iPhone to use it as a portable hard drive, almost like a generic USB device, for copying files back and forth between computers. I decided on PhoneView. At the time I didn’t even care too much about the other features it offered. As time has passed, I’ve liked it even better and better. Read more…

This passed Tuesday Gist released an application for the iPhone that brings many of the site’s big features to user’s small pockets.

Where users will spend most of their time though is the app’s dashboard, which breaks down the latest news about people and companies they’re corresponding with based on news stories, blog posts, and tweets. This screen doubles as a Read more…
