Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan is very distressed these days. The reason is he was upset because he missing his iPod at the Goa airport most recently. Sources close to the actor notify that his iPod contained important information. The actor had documented not only his schedules for his movies. And he did not even have a backup.

Saif is maha upset that he has lost most of the important details but hopes that the information will not be misused or leaked.“Losing an iPod also means that he will have to reschedule his complete work strategy and re-do a lot of things which is a tedious task for him.Besides his iPod, the actor has also lost oodles of weight, changed his hairstyle and redesigned his entire body language.

Even though we’ve never reviewed them here (what’s wrong with us?) we actually own and use both the Powermonkey eXplorer and the Solio Magnesium Edition Solar Charger  and find both of them quite satisfactory. However either of these solar chargers run upwards of $100 to own. ThinkGeek has the budget conscious in mind with the Pico Freeloader Solar Charger, a compact and lightweight wonder that according to the specs provides power of 35 hours on mobile phone, 14 hours on iPod, or 1.5 hours on GPS on a single ten hour charge. What’s particularly nice about the Pico is that you can recharge its internal lithium ion via USB in case of eternal winter (no sun). Oh, did we mention it’s only $39?

Jailbreaking your iPhone was never easy, but a new tool called JailbreakMe promises to change that. It lets you unlock an iOS 4.O device effortlessly. The free online-based tool, and instructions, come just days after jailbreaking your iPhone was declared legal  by the U.S. Copyright Office. Jailbreaking your iPhone lets you install various non Apple-vetted applications to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

The hack is accessible to anyone through JailbreakMe.com, via the Mobile Safari browser, and can be used with an iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G running iOS 4 and 4.0.1 (the signal bars update). Until now, jailbreaking your iPhone involved having the device connected to a computer, in a painstaking process that put off some of the more novice users. JailbreakMe makes hacking your iPhone much easier, as it’s a browser-based solution and requires no additional artifices.

Jailbreaking Through Its Paces

To test how simple jailbreaking using JailbreakMe is, I decided to use my second-generation iPod Touch and give it a go. Before you decide to follow this process with your iPhone or iPad, keep in mind that despite the legality of this action, Apple is still against it. The company reminded users last week that jailbreaking your iOS device voids your warranty, and you won’t get free repairs.

I pointed the iPod touch’s Mobile Safari browser to JailbreakMe.com, and started the process by sliding the button on the screen (which looks like the iOS lock screen). The hack started downloading, and after a couple of minutes, it began installing. A few more minutes later, the iPod touch was jailbroken and the Cydia Store app was installed. The whole process took less than minutes on a regular Wi-Fi connection.

Some Users Report Problems

Early reports on Twitter and on the Web say that some iPhone 4 owners who used JailbreakMe to hack their phones are having problems with FaceTime and multimedia messaging services (MMS). Comex, the creator of the service, said he is busy to fix these issues as soon as possible. Meanwhile, this site has a potential temporary fix.

The JailbreakMe site also had several issues this morning, as high demand on the servers has put a strain on the service. The Cydia Store (the store for jailbroken apps) also had several hiccups during my testing with the freshly-jailbroken iPod touch.

Taking Precautions

The jailbreaking process from JailbreakMe is not permanent. As long as you sync your iOS device with iTunes before you jailbreak it, you will be able to remove the hack by simply using the restore feature. If anything goes wrong, don’t hesitate to use it.

This is a guest post penned by Ethan Nicholas, developer of the million-dollar iPhone game iShoot and the newly released Kim Rhode’s Outdoor Shooting. Before the iPad was even announced, Nicholas was already conceiving his next game with the tablet device in mind.

The Internet is a funny place. After Apple announced its new iPad, I cringed at the hate being directed its way on sites such as Slashdot and Digg. Even the guys at Penny Arcade, whom I normally agree with, said “that iPad presentation had to be the worst thing I’ve even seen on on the Apple stage” and that Apple had failed to make a case for the device.

If you believe them, the iPad is going to be a massive flop.

Well, the unwashed masses on the Internet also predicted that the iPod would be a failure. They were wrong then, and they are (more…)
