iPod nano, classic v1.01

Apple today pushed out new bug-fix updates for a few of its newest iPods. The company released updates for new third-generation iPod nano as well as the recently released iPod classic. While the details from Apple are sparse, it appears to be a bug-fix only update and available via iTunes (sync tab).

iUnlock Reloaded

The freely available iUnlock tool used to de-restrict the iPhone has now been simplified even for beginners, according to a new update from the iPhone Dev Team enthusiast group.

The new version is effectively automatic and should complete the entire procedure in about 3 to 5 minutes, according to reports.
