Andy Inhatko has noticed that the iPad keyboard dock mostly works with an iPhone 3GS running iOS 4. You can write emails, notes and anything you want with it. There are some considerations to make though.

DestroyTwitter 2, unMac Your Client (Again)
There are people who genuinely can’t stand Adobe Air applications. I don’t know why - sometimes the skin you’re in doesn’t matter when it’s executed incredibly well. Thus is the case with DestroyTwitter, which has evolved from an overly complicated yet powerful client into a focused, well-oiled machine.
Jailbreak iOS 4 iPhone 3GS and Install Your First Cydia Apps [with Compatibility List]
iOS 4 came out yesterday, and right after iTunes finished to install it on our iPhones we all wondered whether jailbreak was still possible. Yes, it is.

iOS 4 Fixes Over 60 Security Issues
Apple has posted a new support document online, describing all the security vulnerabilities they have addressed with the release of iOS 4.
iOS 4, Google Apps and Auto-Lock Issues
TUAW is reporting that Google Apps users who tried to setup their account using Microsoft Exchange (ActiveSync) ended up with auto-lock automatically set to 1 minute.
“Apparently this is due to the security certificates that Google uses with its Exchange servers. The servers can force security options on compatible devices, which your iPhone becomes once it is running iOS 4.
To be clear: if you have a regular Gmail account and set it up using Exchange, this auto-lock requirement will not be triggered. But if you use Google Apps for your personal domain, it may.”
Some Google users have also reported other sync issues with iOS 4, head over this thread if you’ve been experiencing problems too.

Steam User? You Shouldn’t Upgrade to 10.6.4
It seems like Steam for Mac doesn’t play well with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Valve itself has issued a warning to users who logged in during the weekend on Steam:
“The recent 10.6.4 update from Apple has noticeable performance issues for NVidia graphic chip owners running high performance games. If you wish to avoid this, you should consider waiting to install the 10.6.4 update until Apple has had the opportunity to address this issue. Full details of what is contained in the 10.6.4 update can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4150. If you have already installed this update and believe your graphic performance is affected, please contact Apple support (http://www.apple.com/support/) for details on what to do.”
If you’re a Steam user and care about your game performances, perhaps you should wait for Apple to fix these problems. Should happen soon.

WordPress App Updated to Support Fast App Switching on iOS 4
Apple has just approved a new version of the official WordPress application (2.5) which, like many other apps this week, adds support for iOS 4.
This update is more important than other apps though, considering that WordPress is the world leading blogging platform and that the iPhone / iPad app has been flawed by terrible bugs and UI inconsistencies for months.
