    This Is How Multitasking Should Work On the iPhone

    In 2009, iPhone multitasking is a bit like apps were in the early jailbreak days. That is to say painfully, clearly possible, but simply not allowed. These jailbreak apps show how it could—and should—be done. More »

    New iControlPad Prototype Controls the iPhone with Dual Analog Nubs

    The iPhone gamepad case is back with an overhauled design that brings controls to the front, and adds dual analog nubs (the same as the Pandora gaming handheld). There's also an internal battery that charges the iPhone while playing. More »

    First iPhone Worm Discovered: Rickrolls Jailbroken iPhones

    Jailbreakers in Australia are being infected by a worm that changes their wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley. And while that sounds kinda funny, it's another reminder to make sure you've changed the default password on your jailbroken iPhone. More »

    Dutch Hacker Holds Jailbroken iPhones Hostage For €5 Ransom While Exposing Security Vulnerability

    Many of us have jailbroken our iPhones, but did everyone remember to change the default root password? Those guilty of that oversight are vulnerable to the simple intrusion method this guy used to hold iPhones hostage in the Netherlands. More »

    How To Enable MMS on iPhone 2G, Tethering on OS 3.1.2

    What better way to kick off the week than with two questionably safe iPhone hacks, each of which scratches a particular nagging itch: the first being lack of MMS on 2G iPhones, and the second being tethering on OS 3.1.2. More »

    Apple's Jailbreak-Proof iPhone 3GS Units Totally Aren't

    iPhone 3GSes now ship with a chained-down boot ROM, intended to thwart jailbreakers at a fundamental level. It's already been cracked. But for what it's worth (seriously, what?), it has made life outside the App Store a little less convenient. More »

    Dev Team Cracks iPhone 3.1.2, Jailbreaks Even Previously Unbroken iPhones

    The Dev Team has struck again, negating the security work of the iPhone 3.1.2 update. Looks like it'll work even if you've never jailbroken your phone before (though soon-to-be-released hardware may not?). Pwnage can be attained here. [Thanks, SE!]

    Apple's Shipping Jailbreak Resistant iPhone 3GS Units

    Maybe that downtime earlier is a result of bad karma for Apple's decision to start shipping iPhone 3GS units with a supposedly jailbreak-resistant bootrom. How long until the dev-team works around the immunity to their exploit? [iClarified via BGR]

    Blackra1n Jailbreaks iPhone OS 3.1.2

    iPhone OS 3.1 Jailbroken for iPhone 3GS Now

    It's done. iPhone OS 3.1 has been jailbroken for the iPhone 3GS now by the Dev Team. The catch: You need to have already Pwnd it at 3.0 or 3.0.1—you can't jailbreak 3.1 directly, for now. [DevTeam]

    Note to Apple: Please Put This in the iPhone, Now

    I need SmartScreen in my iPhone, an application that allows you to place Dashboard-like widgets on the lock screen, so you can quickly access small pills of information quickly without having to get into applications. Smart, smooth, and oh-so-nice. More »

    iPhone OS 3.1 Jailbroken and Unlocked, Except for the 3GS and 3rd Generation Touch

    The Dev Team has released their Pwnage Tool for the iPhone 3.1 firmware. The bad news is that it doesn't work on the 3GS or the new Touch. But it will, just wait, and you'll see. More »

    µTorrent iPhone App Rejected, Heads Over to Cydia

    µMonitor is little iPhone app that lets you remotely control µTorrent back at your computer. But like Transmission's Drivetrain app, it's been banned by Apple on anti-piracy grounds. Usefully, however: Jailbreakers can still pick it up via Cydia. More »

    Neat and Tidy iPod Touch Theme Makes My iPhone Jealous

    All of my iPhones are virgins. They've never been jailbroken nor have they been exposed to pictures of Jason shoving gadgets down his pants. But as soon as this theme is available for the 3GS, it's cherry-popping time! More »

    iPhone 3.0.1 Can Still Be Jailbroken

    Firmware updates are always alarming for a jailbreaking enthusiast—who knows if it'll ruin all the hard work that's gone into the unlocked device? But iPhone users don't have to worry, since 3.0.1 is no less hackable than 3.0. More »

    GV Mobile Google Voice App Available For Free On The iPhone via Cydia

    iPhone Push May Be Sending AIM Messages to Random People
