A tethered jailbreak is a term in which if for some reason you need to restart your jailbreaked iPhone you need your iPhone attached to a computer to assist with the booting sequence. Some users of iPhone tethered jailbreak is always worried that their iPhone might run out of battery or suddenly froze and that will require cold boot.. worry no more untethered jailbreak is here.

A new jailbreak tool named “Spirit” is now available which allows you to modify the iPhone OS to enable tethering or run apps not approved by Apple through appstore. The “Spirit” jailbreak works with all three iPhone OS powered iDevices such as iPhone 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, iPod touch 2G/3G, and the new iPad 3.2.

Speaking of iPad, the Spirit author mentioned that for iPad jailbreak is still in beta version which might resulted to some apps can cause problems for the device. I guess this must be something to do with Cydia, which is primarily designed for iPhone and using it for iPad might break some apps.

Also, you need to know that “Spirit” is for jailbreaking only and won’t unlock your iPhones this means you’re stuck with carriers supported by Apple (e.g. AT&T, etc.). You might also need to review the Apple terms that might break warranty or discontinue your mobile phone service by doing this process.

Just a reminder if you heard Jobs “Let’s Rock!” speech you should now heading your URL to Apple.com to see if those improvement he mentioned is just a matter of firmware update. What’s available for your iPod touch is the v2.1 firmware update, this will improve lots of things on your touch. Old firmware for update would cause you $9.95 but for those whose touch comes with v2.0 fw then it’s yours for FREE.

From 2gb to 64gb storage how cool is that?.. did I say it also sporting a GPS system? Well, don’t jump just yet, it’s just a rumor about the new generation of iPod Touch coming. Im not surprised that it needed that much storage juice primarily because it has to support the GPS data and maps.

But if this rumors are true then I might need to get ready current aging Garmin for retirement and switch to iPod Touch.

I thought we’re currently on recession but according to AppleInsider report that Apple issued a bulletins to some of its partner strongly suggesting that they should stock their inventory with iPods and MacBooks because these item will become extremely limited in coming weeks

Apple “strongly suggested” that resellers bring in—or place immediate lump orders for—approximately 4 weeks worth of their top selling iPod models. Supplies of the players would start to become extremely limited in the next seven days, the bulletin said.

Maybe Apple is expecting the economy to jump once the holiday seasons comes. Well, I hope so too!
