The final version of sn0wbreeze is now available for download. For those of you who don’t know, Sn0wbreeze is yet another jailbreaking tool like blackra1n, redsn0w and PwnageTool for iPhone and iPod touch which can be used to create custom .ipsw files. But unlike the PwnageTool, Sn0wbreeze is fully compatible to work with Windows 7/Vista and XP machines.
Redsn0w is an alternative jailbreaking and unlocking tool to blackra1n for both Windows and Mac. It also enables users to personalize iPhone firmware’s with customized boot and recovery logos without having to use iTunes as there are no custom IPSW files involved. If other jailbreaking tools such as blackra1n, PwnageTool and sn0wbreeze didn't work for you, you can always give redsn0w a try to see if it solves all your problems.

The biggest benefit of using a stylus is in very cold conditions, where you have your gloves on and are unable to interact with your device. With this capacitive stylus, you can operate your HD2, iPhone and even Nexus One with more precision and ease of navigation.
