Dot.Tunes streams music to iPhones...

Dot.Tunes is bringing streaming music to iPhone and iPod touch owners via two new plug-ins designed to interact with its audio server application, enabling users to access a complete iTunes library via Wi-Fi. The company's plug-in for Apple's iPod touch provides a custom Dot.Tunes interface on the iPod that supports viewing all movies as well as videos, and enables users to play any track from an iTunes music library on a networked computer. A similar plug-in for the iPhone offers the same functionality on the cellular device, effectively removing the storage capacity limit of either device when users are within range of a wireless network.

iJailBreak automates iPod touch hacking...

A 13-year-old coder going by the alias of "AriX" has released iJailBreak, a tool meant to automate the process of hacking the iPod touch. Two previous pieces of hacking code are used: first is the TIFF exploit developed by "Niacin" and "Dre," while the second is iPhuc, a program meant to grant command-line access to an iPhone via desktops. Once run, iJailBreak can be used to simplify the installation of unofficial software on a Touch. iJailBreak is covered under v2 of the GNU General Public License, and available for download from Google Code; currently at v0.2.1, the app will only run on Intel Macs with Mac OS X Tiger, but a PowerPC version is said to be in development.
