A Modmyifone forum post possibly reveals a beta version of the handwriting recognition. The application used is called HWPen which is for jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches.
If you have just bought a new iPod Touch , have paid the $20 dollar price to get the news apps or just upgraded to iPod Touch firmware 1.1.4 and want an easy step by step guide on how you jailbreak it, CrunchGear has got you covered. They have just posted a complete comprehensive guide on how to successively jailbreak your iPod Touch will little to no problems.
Many gadgets sites have been claiming that in fact the iPhone Dev Team have cracked the code for iPhone and iPod Touch Version 2.0. The reportedly got the software last night and have already found a process to jailbreak and unlock the new iPhone and iPod Touch.
Controversy over at Touchmods.net, our favourite iPod Touch VoIP hack site. Marian and the team promised an “XXXL” software announcement at the end of January, stoking the fires of expectation, and this week announced that, following a donated iPhone from French ADSL provider Free.fr, they’ve coded an iPhone VoIP application locked to that ISP’s service. Called Siphon, the app is included as a part of Free’s ADSL package, which of course means you have to live in France to be able to order it. Unsurprisingly, many Touchmods readers are frustrated that a) this is an app for the iPhone, not the iPod Touch and b) the potential userbase is very small; Touchmods promise to release an open version, compatible with iPhones and the Touch and unchained from Free, but that will apparently be “time-limited”.
Wikipedia might get contrary press arguing that it’s content isn’t as accurate as, say, Encyclopedia Britannica, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a fantastic resource and a great way to lose an hour or two following link trails. Now you can have such fun on your iPod Touch (or iPhone, for that matter) whether in the doctors’ surgery, on the train or in a cave, thanks to Patrick Collinson’s guide to installing the full English or German versions onto your PMP.
Security researchers have discovered yet another way to crash your multi-touch device. This is now done with 19 lines of JavaScript Code and through a cleverly crafted website. The exploit “memory exhaustion remote denial of service vulnerability” affects Apple’s Mobile Safari web browser, which is a huge part of the popular devices.
All it takes for a website to have the malicious code is just to add the 19 lines of code and persuade the user to view it. This will crash the system and the device will immediately reboot.
If you’ve already got an iPod Touch running firmware 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 that has been Jailbroken, rather than going to the effort of plugging it into your computer to run though the latest Jailbreak, why not use wunderkinds AriX and Ben’s iJailbreak Mobile, and do the whole thing directly from your iPod Touch.

Looks like the SIP-VoIP team over at touchmods.net have been busy. Last we heard, v.1 of the software that allows the iPod Touch to be used as a VoIP phone via its WiFi connection had launched, and the guys were busy putting together microphone schematics and parts lists. Now, there’s a pretty healthy list of 25 compatible SIP-based VoIP services - including the popular Gizmo Project and Asterisk - and they’ve just sold out of their first batch of 1200 microphone adaptors, priced at $45 a pop.
Cre.ations.net has posted the first iPhone 1.1.3 jailbreak. This will allow you to jailbreak your iPod Touch running firmware 1.1.3. The process is quite simple but not has easy as the JailbreakMe method for previous software versions.
Complete instructions after the jump
If you’ve been keeping up with the VoIP and audio-recording developments for the iPod Touch, you might be wondering how to get your hands on a microphone-blessed adaptor. The original plan was that those interested would send the widget’s creators the necessary parts (and perhaps a small beer donation) and have their completed microphone posted back; unfortunately it looks like demand far exceeded their supply potential and so plan B has been hatched: making the schematic and parts-list available so that you can build your own.
