12:45AM Adam Frucci | Piergiorgio Zambrini, the author of the ZiPhone unlocking tool, has allegedly come up with a way to crash iPhones remotely via a simple video. By playing the video, an iPhone would shut itself down, and iPods and Apple computers are also vulnerable. More »

iPhone 2.0 Gets Pwning On Windows (Unlock, Jailbreak) Via Convoluted Process
3:55AM Jason Chen | The guys at iPhone Hacks just found a way to take the iPhone Pwnage release yesterday and figure out a roundabout way to get the unlock and jailbreak to work on Windows machines. It’s only applicable to first-gen iPhones with 2.0, but if you’re really desperate to get your phone hacked, but not quite desperate enough to get within 10 feet of those “Mac” users, here you go. Not for the uber nooby. [iPhone Hacks] More »

Mercedes Benz Makes an iPhone Pouch…Wait What?
8:00AM Jason Chen | It’s Mercedes’ Swarovski Elements iPhone pouch from their GLK collection, which holds your iPhone the way that only a gaudy piece of leather can. Only 40 are going to be made (as of now), and will be raffled off in the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin to people who are rich enough to attend. More gaudiness after the jump.

11:25AM Nick Broughall | Remember the ZiPhone unlocking tools that performed some fancy-schmancy magic voodoo to unlock the original iPhone so that you could use it down here in Australia? Well, the guy behind that is now hard at work on the iPhone SDK beta 7, working out a way to unlock your iPhone 3G so you won’t have to actually pay for those applications through the App Store.
While he was tinkering, he discovered something very interesting: A list of networks around the world that will support the iPhone 3G. And as per the recent reports we’ve been hearing, Telstra’s there. Unlike those same recent reports, 3 is not.
Of course this is a list that’s currently in the iPhone SDK’s 7th Beta, so it’s far from a definitive list of carriers. But with Telstra there, it’s hard to imagine that they won’t make an announcement soon. Even though there are reports that they dropped the ball when it comes to BigPond content on the device, a conversation I had with a Telstra rep the other day painted a slightly different picture: “There’s still a lot of time between now and July 11″.

3G iPhone’s Upcoming Chip Found?
11:45AM Jason Chen | The iPhone SDK Beta 3 has barely been out for a few hours and Zibri, maker of the ZiPhone iPhone tool, has found references to a future 3G chip inside the new firmware. The chipset is the SGOLD3, which follows up the current S-GOLD2 in today’s iPhone. Here’s what the S-GOLD3 has support for, not all of which will make it into the next-gen iPhone: HSDPA category 8 (7.2 Mbps), cameras of up to 5-megapixels, MPEG4/H.263 hardware acceleration and “video telephony, streaming, recording and playback.” Again, Apple might not enable all these features in the actual 3G iPhone, but at least we know that they’re theoretically possible.
