Something amazing has hit the iPod Touch front. One team calls it the iPhonePedia.app. The other, simply Wikipedia.app.
That’s right. There are actually two application versions of Wikipedia.com’s database that are available for the iPod Touch (and iPhone, of course).
One huge difference between the two is the size of the download. Wikipedia.app will require ~2GB’s [...]

Some two months back or so I saw a problem. The problem was with the increasing number of sources that were appearing for Installer. The more sources there were, the slower Installer took to refresh them, particularly if one or more was down or being hit too hard. I thought of a [...]

Here is a quote from TUAW:
Last night, an anonymous tipster pointed us to this Austin Heap webpage that purportedly reveals the iPhone’s secret Application SDK key. Another tipster, also anonymous, then tipped me to iPhone “Elite” developer Zibri’s blog, that shows the same key. So what does this mean? Since all iPhone applications must be [...]

This is simply amazing…
13 year old’s Arix and Ben have programmed a mobile 1.1.3 jailbreak method with their own knowledge.
Here is what they’ve posted on their website on January the 28th (yesterday):

ZodTTD doesn’t sleep. Ever. I know this because no human being could possibly do as much as he does in the span of time he does it and still manage to saw a few logs. You already know his work so far: gpSPhone, psx4iphone and OpenTTD are his current projects. You [...]

The ipodtouchfans forum member who goes by the name of Shade, had an idea. His idea was to create an actual magazine which spoke only of the iPod Touch.
Some say this idea is no good because there is not enough iPod Touch news out there to convey an entire magazine subscription. This, I do agree [...]

He posted, with the help of many iPod touch Fans members, a list of 20 (as of this post) useful tips and tricks for the iPod Touch.

You’re probably sick to death of seeing articles on jailbreaking 1.1.3 — especally if, like me, you’ve spent a solid day trying to get the official Dev Team release to work, most of which contained varying quantities of fail.
