Jailbreakers Get Busy on iPhone OS 3.0
The iPhone Dev-Team (not the Cupertino version) hasn’t wasted anytime in declaring the iPhone 3.0 operating system “jailbreakable.”

iTunes 8.1 update
Apple have released a new update for iTunes, version 8.1
THis is to add support for the new iPod Shuffle we mentioned yesterday. They have also renamed the “Party Shuffle” feature into iTunes DJ, which can be used to select a list of songs and play them continuously, sounds a lot like “Party Shuffle” to me ;)
New iPod Shuffle – It talks to you!
Introducing VoiceOver, the feature that gives iPod shuffle a voice. With the press of a button, it tells you what song is playing and who’s performing it. It can even tell you the names of your playlists, giving you a new way to navigate your music.
The new iPod shuffle is jaw-droppingly small. It’s half the size of the previous generation. Yet there’s room for so much more. With 4GB of storage, it now holds up to 1,000 songs,1 and lets you enjoy multiple playlists, too.
Safari 4 Beta
Well as most Safari users, I downloaded the new Safari 4 Beta yesterday. Â I have been using Webkit for my day job for the last 6 months or so, so was quite used to the new Web Inspector etc. Â What I did not realise was that Apple were going to move everything around in their latest version.
I actually quite like the blue “loading” bar inside the address bar, as it gives me some idea as to how long I have left for the page to load, so to replace it with a 16×16 spinning thing at the end of the bar wasn’t too good in my view. Â To boot they removed the Refresh button and also stick that at the end, a bit like the iPhone Safari, although it works quite well on the smaller screen size.
I do like the “Top Sites” idea, although mine seems to put in web sites that I have never visited, let alone my most visited web sites.
Anyway, the point of this post was to re-post an article I found this morning, which thankfully points out some nice “hidden” preferences built into the new Beta version, which has enabled me to move everything back to look and work like Safari 3. Happy Days!
Here is the article on how to go about this:

Back from a great holiday
Just got back home after spending a great week in the Isle of Wight. The weather was fantastic while we were there and so the kids had plenty of beach time as well as all the normal holiday activities.

There are two terms used around the iPhone. One is Jailbreak and the other is unlock.
