A few days ago, I wrote about iPhonebrowser which enables Windows users to retrieve music from their iPod Touch or iPhone since neither have a "disk use" mode like other iPods.  However, if you are using Windows Vista 64-bit, you are out of luck with this software.

It’s a known fact: the iPhone hasn’t reached its potential, and it’s clear Apple doesn’t intend on unlocking the phone’s true abilities. As a result, iPhone wielders often come up with really cool ways to do things with their devices, and it looks like someone’s figured out how to use Apple’s mobile to replace certain wallet contents.

The iPod Touch and iPhone are not like other iPods; possessing no "disk use" mode. With other iPods it is possible to use that mode to access the flash memory or hard drive directly and pull music off the iPod, this is not possible with the iPod Touch or iPhone. But, there is a free and easy method of getting music from your iPod Touch or iPhone to you PC.

Criticizing Apple for capping the iPhone’s potential, Orb Networks released an application enabling users to stream Live TV and other video formats to the iPhone or iPod Touch from any PC.

Up to now Google News hasn’t been available to owners of the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. However, that’s now all changed, and wherever you are in the world, you’ll be able to keep up the all the latest news through Google.

A popular tech site discovered the iPhone 2.0 firmware recently seeded to developers includes a YouTube plugin for MobileSafari.app, but this plugin may not give us the in-browser YouTube support many have been waiting for.

A new exploit circulating around for the iPhone/iPod Touch requires no user interaction to execute.  Websites with specifically written code are able to lock up your iPhone or iPod Touch and can crash your PC or Mac running Safari.

The iPhone and iPod Touch are for all intents and purposes handheld computers with mobile processors, memory and storage space, just like a real computer would have.  And, just like a real computer, it should be shut down every once in a while for best performance.

Sorry, Amazon, Rhapsody, eMusic, and others, but it looks like there won’t be any iTunes support in the iPhone / iPod Touch SDK coming soon. This means third-party apps can’t access iTunes to change your music library.

AriX and Ben, the two teenage hackers behind iJailbreak, released version 0.6 of their software, an extremely useful 1.1.4 iPhone and iPod Touch jailbreak app for OSX.
