It’s been a slow few weeks for us Jailbreakers, especially those of us who own PCs. If you own a mac, you’re probably thinking I have no idea what I’m talking about, but then again, you probably say that about ALL Windows users. I took this opportunity to talk about something that really upsets me about the Jailbreak community. Listen and learn…. remember… always go to the source… give credit where credit is due.
Always check the dev-team blog first. They are the official developers of the Pwnage Tool, redsn0w, and other tools.
Please follow @iPhone_dev and if you’ve jailbroken your phone, send them a thank you via Twitter.

By the way… please excuse my terrible editing. I recorded and edited this at 5am. The part you cannot hear says “There is a black cloud hanging over the Jailbreak community. This cloud is named quickpwn.com”
Ever wonder why you can’t download files larger than 10MB from the appStore or iTunes while on 3G or EDGE? Me too. Does it piss you off that you can only use Skype for the iPhone while on a wi-fi connection? Me too. It makes me wonder why I have a computer in my pocket that cannot use the cellular network I pay for to perform data-intensive activites. Don’t get me started on tethering.
Thanks to 3G Unrestrictor, all of the above mentioned problems (except tethering, grrrr) can easily be solved. 3G Unrestrictor simply fools your device into thinking it is on wi-fi when it isn’t. Try it. You can thank me later.

Recently, it has come to the attention of the iPhone dev-team that there are apps that are collecting usage data and location without your knowledge on your iPhone. Fortunately for those of us with jailbroken devices, we can take measures to protect ourselves.
