Well it now looks like Geohot is not going to release his jailbreaking bits for the iPhone and iPad anytime soon. According to some of his recent tweets, his tools are not ready for primetime use yet.

In a response to a new email, Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs has sent a very special email to one of his fan. This email provides some insight into why the man from the Digital world and CEO of Apple Inc has publicly thrown his support and strength behind the pro-organ donation bill making its way through California's state senate. Unlike all the previous email replies from Steve, this one is not about technology or Apple, but about real life. In just two words, Steve has shown his deep feelings, emotion and his human side to the public. Normally, everyone focuses on Steve as the CEO of Apple, but forgets that there also exists a real human being and a normal person in him, who does care about health and good causes.

Apple wasn’t kidding when they got Silicon Valley cops involved to investigate the lost iPhone HD/4G case. Last night, police entered Gizmodo’s editor-in-chief Jason Chen’s home (when he was away with wife) and held four computers and two servers in their custody and seized them.

Wi-Fi Sync is an upcoming app for the iPhone which lets you sync your iPhone or iPod touch (and possibly iPad too) with iTunes over a Wi-Fi network like Zune. The concept of the app is great! Check out the video after the break.
The greatest strength of Apple and its iPhone has always been the availability of nearly 200,000 apps in the iTunes App Store.

I have just been tipped off on twitter about Limera1n.com – a domain which has been registered by the infamous iPhone hacker named George Hotz (aka geohot). The domain whois record for both blackra1n and limera1n shares same record and confirms that it has been registered by geohot on March 27. Whois record also reveals that it was last updated on April 13, almost effectively the same date when geohot successfully jailbroke iPhone OS 4 which makes it even more authentic. Though there is no confirmation about this by geohot himself.
