Apple seems to have equipped iTunes 8 to detect and prevent the Pwnage exploit, iTunes 8 will now flash the error below if you try to load an Pwned IPSW file with an unPwned device preventing the exploit to suceed.

But, the iPhone Dev Team seems to have already figured the way out by patching the iTunes 8 itself,
In an blog post iPhone Dev Team said:

The nice thing about iTunes decisions is that we can provide you with patches to counter them. We have one such patch already for Mac iTunes 8 for iPod touch. We’ll be working out the full suite of patches for all the combinations over the next week.

Finally the much awaited iPhone unlocking and jailbreaking software "Pwnage Tool 2.0" is released for public downloading, a more official announcement with detailed information is expected to be released in next few days from the developers the iPhone-Dev Team.

The new version of the free software "Pwnage Tool 2.0" allows iPhone owners to jailbreak and unlock older iPhones with firmware up to and including the new version 2.0, and jailbreak iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touches (so you can run 3rd party applications not supported by Apple and the new iPhone App Store), 3G iPhone unlocking is expected to be included in upcoming releases.

Pwnage Tool 2.0 is finally released but sadly does not support 3G iPhone unlocking (supports only jailbreaking for the new 3G version), However hackers have managed to unlock the 3G iPhone using a special SIM adapter as shown in the video below.

Apple is being sued for using false advertising stating MacBook LCD's supporting millions of color's, while in reality MacBook's LCD is only 6-Bit translating to 262,144 colors only, it is also surprising to know how Apple is using cheaper 6-Bit LCD's instead of 8-Bit considering the high price tag of MacBook's.

Just in time for Valentine's day Apple has announced 32GB version of iPod Touch, with this latest offering iPod Touch is now available in 8, 16 & 32 GB variants.

The iPod Touch (iTouch) series of iPod is similar to iPhone minus the phone capabilities, having Multi-Touch interface, 3.5-inch widescreen full color display, Wi-Fi connectivity and pre-installed applications for services like web-browsing, YouTube, Mail, Stocks, Weather, Notes, iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, Maps etc. iTouch is the gadget to go for this year.
