Interesting video featuring Woz talking iPhone 4 antenna problems (“a tiny, tiny issue blown out of proportion”), youthful idealism and yes, Apple. Check it out below.

Infinifolders: Unlimited Apps in iOS 4 Folders
Available in Cydia at $1.99, Infinifolders is a great tweak by chpwn (developer of Infinidock and Infiniboard) that allows you to bypass Apple’s limitations of 12 apps in a single iOS 4 folder. With Infinifolders you’ll be able to put inside a folder as many apps as you want, choose the color of the scroll bar and even paginate the folder.
It’s a very useful tweak, recommended to jailbreakers.
iPhone 4 Ultrasn0w Unlock Available
Last night the Dev-Team finally flipped the switch on ultrasn0w for iPhone, the unlock tool that enables you to use different SIMs on locked devices. It’s a pretty big deal for US users.To install the tool, you have to add the repo666.ultrasn0w.com repository in Cydia - of course you have to be on a jailbroken device first.
Version 1.0-1 of ultrasn0w works for:
iPhone4 baseband 01.59
3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04
Check out the how-to video after the break.

Apple Rejects Mosspuppet’s App Because of “References to Walt Mossberg”
Apple has a history for rejecting parody applications, or satirical ones. Remember the Mark Fiore fiasco? They eventually accepted the app in the Store. And the “Me So Holy” rejection? Your call.
What we have here today, though, is quite a thing. If you happen to know Mosspuppet, then you must know that it’s some sort of…parody of Walt Mossberg, well known WSJ tech columnist. I mean, just go watch a video on mosspuppet.com and get the idea. Now, the guys behind this amazing meme / parody / MG Siegler hater built an iPhone app called “Mossboard” that contains Mosspuppet’s typical “sound effects”. Check out the video after the break to see the app in action.
Apple rejected the app because of “references to the well-known third party Walt Mossberg.” Really? What about this? And remember, we’re talking about the official app of a parody here. I hope that this is just a mistake, and that the app will be approved upon a re-submission - even if I have the feeling that because Steve Jobs is close friends with Walt, the app review team decided to reject Mossboard. We’ll see.
Apple’s Exercise in Engineering
I’ve been curious as to why certain Apple projects aren’t updated immediately as new products hit. Let’s take Apple’s Remote application for example. It’s something so simple yet so useful you think Apple would have updated the little guy for the Retina Display right? And just think about the potential of navigating your iTunes library on the giant iPad screen! None of these things have happened, and a lot of us feel that Apple has forgotten about some of their App Store utilities.
Today, we have an explanation.
iOS 4.1 Beta 3 Available - Here’s What’s New

iTunes Cloud Syncing Coming to iPhone and iPad with Wi-Fi Sync 2.0
Wi-Fi Sync is a great tweak available in Cydia that allows iPad and older iPhone users to sync with iTunes without the need of plugging the USB cable in. Just make sure that you’re on the same local network and you’re all set.
Developer Greg Hughes has just confirmed with a tweet that the 2.0 version is in the works and that, together with proper iPad and iPhone 4 support, it’ll bring app synchronization over 3G and VPN. Think about it: you’ll be able to sync apps no matter where you are, as long as you have an active internet connection. I don’t know how the developer will let us remotely connect to our desktop computers (Google account authentication? Something like Here, File File?) but this will be one of the most useful things ever happened to jailbreakers.
iTunes cloud-syncing is one of the most anticipated features among iPad and iPhone users, and much has been said about Apple willing to implement it by 2011 - when the massive NC data center will open its doors to Apple engineers. We’ll see. In the meantime, just wait for Wi-Fi Sync 2.0.
