The update for PwnageTool 2.0.2 to jailbreak iPhone 2G and 3G models,
and unlock the iPhone 2G, was moved to the iPhone Dev Team’s “sparkle
update system” when a serious bug was noticed – and the update removed.
But the sparkling will start happening once more in a few hours!

There is plenty of talk about Apple wanting a slice of BlackBerry pie with the iPhone 3G and MobileMe. But what is Research in Motion doing to fight back? Being Bold in Europe, is the cryptic but correct answer...

When Jonathan Zdziarski found a clue suggesting that Apple's iPhone firmware included a mechanism for disabling applications that appear on a hit list maintained on the company's servers, the conspiracy theorists came out in force. But as the saying goes, "just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean They aren't out to get you."

Got an IceTV subscription and a compatible PVR, Windows Media Center PC
or IceTV on your Mac? Sure, IceTV has allowed mobile phone users to
browser to its “remoterecord” website to do the same thing, but why not
create a dedicated iPhone app – and a Facebook app to come soon, too?

Having confirmed that it was not April 1st, and assured that this was no prank, there can only be one conclusion to be drawn from the appearance of the 'I Am Rich' application at the App Store: someone thinks that iPhone users are a bunch of filthy rich nutters...

With virtualisation becoming a mainstream technology, it’s becoming reasonable that Linux distros like Ubuntu will not always require a dedicated computer but instead be contained within a virtualised environment, whether on a Windows desktop or as part of a consolidated server farm. It’s not always plain sailing though – here are some problems you might encounter as well as their solutions.

Symantec is aggressively expanding into the “endpoint virtualisation”
space by seriously upgrading its virtualisation capabilities and
credentials, buying out nSuite, a ‘virtual workspace management’
company whose product competes with VMware’s VDI solution, Citrix’s
XenDesktop and XenApp combo and other competitors.

Previously I bemoaned the telco’s lack of iPhone vision for enterprise customers. Despite Apple touting push mail as a business benefit, it seemed impossible to get an iPhone and use it with an existing SIM card or company plan. Not so, the powers that be have changed their mind and I’m happy to report my wishes came true. The iPhone is back in business.

(Updated since publication:) iPhone
OS 2.0.1 has arrived, promising faster surfing speeds, snappier program
operation and lots of other as-yet unknown bug fixes, but the big
question for unlocked and jailbroken iPhone
owners on OS 2.0 is whether or not it’s safe to upgrade. Here’s what I
did to make it work, although any attempt you do at trying the same is
at your own risk!

After reading good things about Sun’s VirtualBox, I decided to download
version 1.6.2 two weeks ago to run Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual machine
within Windows Vista. While it worked perfectly at first, the
installation of the virtual tools in Windows caused a complete system
crash, which I could only fix by doing a System Restore. What happened,
and now that VirtualBox has just had a maintenance upgrade to 1.6.4,
will I try it again?
