Goes back to two days ago, ‘indiscretion that wants a trackpad glass with multi-touch in the new MacBook. Analysts web have already talked about a possible screen under the glass of the new trackpad, but ComputerWorld has shifted attention to another issue: whether the new trackpad lost his only button?

The question is anything but easy answer. Indeed, it is unlikely that the new touchpad is used to the traditional way. The same Steve Jobs said in an interview to The New York Times that:

Multi-touch has drastically simplified way of controlling a computer

This could mean that traditional devices like the mouse (and his button) has begun the path of sunset.

The tethering, namely the ability to use your wireless phone as a modem and dirottarne the data connection directly on your computer, is a function disabled on iPhone 3G, although technically possible.

But if you are lucky holders of the device in question and you need to exploit the connection, know that there is a way to do so, provided that he daring, nerves balances, and the knowledge to be violating the contract signed (if you have subscribed any). Everything, in fact, basa jailbreak on the phone through the only means currently available: Pwnage Tool 2.0, with all the risks involved.

Nate Tru has made available on its blog a detailed guide - in English - which explains exactly how to obtain this result. While the tethering probably violates the terms of the contract with Vodafone and Tim, it is also true that virtually all other smartphones support such functionality and that many users will not want to abandon for any reason.

Of course, provided that enough to make you succeed the 600 MB per month of a typical Italian.

Dev Team has finally made available the expected 2.0 Pwnage, the instrument to practice activation, the jailbreak el ‘unlock the first generation of iPhone and iPod Touch. As already announced, however, there will be to wait a little ‘to’ unlock iPhone 3G.

The process itself is not overly complicated, also take on refined and “fumettosa” program. Basically, after downloading the Pwnage 2.0 and bootloader files, you simply need to download the new firmware 2.0 (by hand or through iTunes), change with the application created by the Dev Team and finally install sull’iPhone. At that point, at least in theory, with a few clicks and a little ‘waiting, we should have practiced unlock, jailbreak and activation of the device.

A guide in English very well made is this address and certainly many others are emerging around the Web. The council, as always in these cases is that they had no hurry and wait a few days, if not one or two weeks, so as to give time to resolve any problems that inevitably arise. A good way to prepare might be the careful reading of two or three different guides, and a look in the forums, so as to be prepared in case accidents occur path.

New announcement on the blog Dev Team. The work proceeds quickly but there is a bitter surprise: at the time the so-called PwnageTool 2.0, many hacks are possible, except one: the unlock of iPhone 3G.

It seems that the ‘elegant software tool that are working will include:

The activation unlock and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPhone of the first generation with firmware 2.0
The activation and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPod Touch with firmware 2.0
The activation and jailbreak (with support for third-party applications) dell’iPhone 3G with firmware 2.0

The problem would appear to be small, if we consider that in Italy you can buy an iPhone and use it with any operator without the need for dangerous hack the firmware. But certainly break the eggs in the basket to those who had planned a visit to the neighboring Switzerland, where 3G iPhone is cheaper but is bound, precisely, through the SIM lock.

If you are lucky holders of a ambìto iPhone 3G or - but technically you should not, at least for now - a long-generation iPhone equipped with the new firmware 2.0, then you may have already noticed that sometimes the phone has moments of annoying slowness and hesitation. If returned in this case, consolatevi: you are not alone.

In this thread on Apple forums, in fact, read several complaints about it, all very similar:

Mainly [occurs] in contact screen, but also beating texts. When appear contacts, I click on a name even two or three times, to appear before the result, and because of the delay in my response often happens accidentally clicking on the telephone number and initiates the call.

It seems that in most cases, turn off and on both momentarily resolution, but often the problem occurs soon after. It ‘obvious that, regardless of the extent of the problem, Apple will soon come to the rescue users with a permanent solution. A good opportunity, perhaps, could be the imminent firmware 2.0.1.
