Hackers Release iPhone OS 3.1 Jailbreak Tool for Third-Gen iPhone
Owners of the new iPhone 3GS can now jailbreak the latest iPhone operating system (3.1) thanks to the hardworking hackers known as Dev Team. One caveat: If you didn’t jailbreak the iPhone when it was running iPhone OS 3.0 or iPhone OS 3.0.1, you can’t directly jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1. Confusing with all the numbers, isn’t it? Allow me …

Apple has reportedly begun shipping iPhone 3GS units with a new bootrom, which might help combat hacks enabling installation of unauthorized software.

At this rate, it seems inevitable that the number of phones running Google’s open source operating system will eventually outnumber the number of iPhones, which run Apple’s proprietary (and closed) operating system. It’s a situation...
Perhaps Apple is getting ahead of itself. Even as the company plans to announce its “latest creation” on Jan. 27 , one of its last creation’s key features — the ability for special-purpose accessories to communicate with iPhone apps — remains largely unused.

In one of the boldest attacks on Apple’s iPhone so far, Verizon unveiled a TV commercial and website over the weekend that touted Droid, a new smartphone from Motorola, as a device that does everything the iPhone doesn’t. Verizon’s “iDon’t” TV commercial and website (warning: Flash-centric site) displays a series...
Apple has doubled the download cap for media downloaded on the iPhone over the 3G network. Before, iPhone owners could not download apps or iTunes media surpassing 10MB in size over the 3G network. A message would appear instructing users to connect to Wi-Fi to perform the download. Now that limitation has been increased to 20MB, according to...
In addition to a tablet device, Apple is expected to introduce the next major upgrade for its iPhone operating system in a press event next week, according to reports.

Apple updated the iPhone software development kit on Wednesday to allow internet telephony apps to work on the 3G network.
