George Hotz (a.k.a. geohot) confirmed during the “nuit du hack” meeting in Paris that he’s already working on an exploit for the iPhone 4. He said that he posted pictures of his jailbroken iPad way before Spirit released its tool, and now he’s working hard to release its exploit once the new iPhone is released.
How he believes the exploit is gonna work we don’t know, but in the meantime check out the (blurry) video of the meeting after the break.
Apple has finally released iOS 4, which is available as a software update in iTunes. The update is free for iPod Touch and iPhone users, but the compatible models are: iPhone 3G (no multitasking), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and 2nd / 3rd generation iPod Touches.
Google has rolled out some nice improvements for Gmail on the iPad, introducing a fullscreen compose window and several scrolling bug fixes.
“Today we’re happy to announce an improved experience for writing emails on Gmail web interface for iPad. When you write an email you’ll now get a big full screen compose window instead of splitting the screen between your inbox and the compose view. More text is visible at once and there are no more distractions with messages on the side. We’ve also fixed problems that prevented scrolling on long messages. Thanks to everyone who reported the issue via the ‘Send feedback’ feature at the bottom of the screen.”
Developed by Newscape Technology on top of a Blom dataset, the result is quite impressive. We look forward to the application in the App Store.
The Apple Store is finally getting some iAds love this morning in a few popular applications you might be familiar with. iLounge reports Avantar developed applications such as OneTap Movies and the Yellow Pages are gleaming with the shiny new banner, although there is one major caveat: iAds don’t officially launch until July 1st, and a test ad or empty banner act as current placeholders.
If you read MacStories or any other Apple-related blog out there, I guess you’re all big fans of the multitouch technology. You know, that little patented thing that powers your iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macbooks. Gestures, that’s how we interact with our devices nowadays. And now a group of researchers of Arizona State University is telling us that our beloved multitouch might actually lead to musculoskeletal disorders.

Update: Destroy Twitter 2.0 is now live. Check out the new features here.
We’re not hearing too much about Tweetie 2 for the Mac, and even other clients are getting stale as we venture forward in the Twitter verse. We also haven’t heard too much out of DestroyTwitter, but the master of DestroyToday (a quick warning, there is a disturbing image on his blog if you’re squeamish) and related projects is planning to release a big update today that should bring an improved preferences canvas, improved item rendering, and an overhauled account canvas.
DestroyTwitter is a solid Adobe Air client that should be released sometime later today, or as Jonnie Hallman puts it: “It’ll be released between now and 11:59pm EST.”
We’ll likely go hands on this evening and post a review tomorrow morning.
