iPod Touch "3G" cases have camera holes
You know how this works. Case manufacturers "sometimes" get information on upcoming iPod Touch information before the rest of the universe so they can have their products ready at launch. In the past, they’ve leaked important information and Steve Jobs even cited them as a leak issue during a keynote. They have also been wildly inaccurate in the past as well (iPhone nano anyone?).
With that in mind, UXSight has the following image for us to enjoy:
Notice the space for a camera in a different area as the iPhone’s? HardMac speculated in May that the new line of iPod and iPod touches would have cameras iLounge then posted mockups of iPod’s with cameras, saying their source had described the somewhat unorthodox location in the iPod Nano and iPhone-like iPod touch. While the camera is pretty much a gimme at this point for me, I’m interested in the "3G" name. Does that mean the new iPod will have a 3G radios in them or does it simply imply that this is the third generation device? I can only hope for the former.
Other case manufacturers have joined in. See Below:
Mac version of PurpleRa1n iPhone3GS jailbreak available
Available for download now. If you want to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS and have a Mac, you can now do so. Interestingly, we are hearing that Ultrasn0w, the SIM unlocker for iPhone 3G from the iPhone dev team also works for iPhone 3GS (in many cases).
Once you have Cydia from PurpleRa1n, you can install UltraSn0w from there. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.
3.0 Update breaks 3rd party video cables for iPod Touch and iPhones
For those who have their iPod Touch or iPhones connected to their TVs through a third party video cable, the 3.0 update was a bad one. It appears to have disabled the ability of non-Apple cables to transmit video. Forum members at iPod Touch Fans and MacForums are both reporting the issue.
One forum member reports:
I have an AV Cable for my iPod Touch 1g which up until now worked fine. Then I updated to 3.0, jail-broke it fine and everything else seems ok, but the AV cable brings up the message about it not being a valid accessory.
It isn’t clear if Apple will restore this functionality in a future update.
As a side note, those with Apple chipped cables also notice a significant difference in the way video out works on their iPods. The video no longer plays on the device while it is playing on the TV. The device only displays the album art of the video.

First iPhone 3GS jailbreak posted w/Video
As predicted, the iPhone 3GS is now jailbroken. George "Geohot" Hotz is the first to publish a full jailbreak for Apple’s new phone, only a few weeks after its release. Called Purplera1n, the jailbreak is only Windows for now but there will be a Mac version soon. The Dev team is also working on an update to their ultrasn0w tool that will unlock the SIM as well.
Update: Video posted a below.
