While the rumored launch is tomorrow, some retailers are already selling the white iPhone 4 ahead of time. One lucky Italian folk has been able to grab his from H3G store in Italy.
This whole sordid affair started when I was (un)fortunate enough to spy a blog post at TheAtlantic by Alexis Madrigal, the site's Senior Editor. In his lengthy post Alexis (you don't mind if I call you Alexis do you?) waxed lyrical about the impending apocalypse thanks to a piece of software called Lantern. This OS X application allows a user - obviously malicious - to gain access to an iOS device and browse all the data it's been collecting on its unwitting user. Such scary information includes the photos you've taken, where they were taken (thanks to the location information stored inside it. Yes, that's the information you told it to save when you first opened the Camera app) and your SMS history. Your Safari browsing history is also available.
Since I'm a frequent Google Maps and Foursquare user, I keep my GPS set to on at all the times. We all know how sucky that can be towards the battery but I'd get really sick of turning GPS on and off manually each time I had to use either of the apps.
With all the screaming and shouting about the iPhone's penchant for collecting data on its user's location, PC Mag saw fit to reach out to various players in the mobile market, namely Nokia, RIM, Google, HP and Microsoft. Only one replied, the always-willing-to-blow-their-own-horn Microsoft.

While Apple is yet to officially respond to iPhone location tracking saga, but despite being on a leave of absence from Apple, CEO Steve Jobs apparently has responded.
It's all kicking off these days with what seems like the whole internet, nay they whole planet going into meltdown over the fact the iPhone and even Android phones are tracking our every move. Thankfully however not everyone is jumping on the hysteria bandwagon.
The iPhone Dev Team has updated PwnageTool to version 4.3.2 to support untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.2 using i0n1c’s exploit. All devices (except iPad 2) are supported. This includes iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad 1, iPod touch 4G/3G and Apple TV.
What we like at Redmond Pie is nice simple apps that do one thing and do it well. Fitting firmly into that category has to be ipswDownloader - an OS X app built with the sole purpose of downloading the IPSW firmware files Apple releases for iOS.
When YouTube launched its YouTube Live service, the prospect of watching live streamed video from all our favorite content providers excited us all. There was just one problem though - YouTube's Live streaming was very much a Flash affair, leaving us iOS fans out of luck. But as is usually the case though, there's now an app for that.
