The iPhone Dev Team have released their latest updated version of PwnageTool, 3.1.3.

The video below proves that the iPhone 3GS is capable of playing back 720p and 1080p HD videos and not just VGA. But why won’t Apple allow it? Its looks like if the videos are not converted to the iPhone’s liking, or too demanding, the audio driver will crash. But certainly this is something Apple can correct via future firmware updates.

Newest to arrive the App Store is the TomTom GPS application for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. Versions specific for countries can now be found, these include the US and Canada, UK and Ireland, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Though pricing may be an issue for some with its App Store prices ranging from $79.99 to $139.99, it does mean that iPhone users will now have more choices when it comes to choosing the most suitable turn-by-turn GPS car navigation application. Continue reading »
