For those who have their iPod Touch or iPhones connected to their TVs through a third party video cable, the 3.0 update was a bad one.  It appears to have disabled the ability of non-Apple cables to transmit video.  Forum members at iPod Touch Fans and MacForums are both reporting the issue.

One forum member reports:

I have an AV Cable for my iPod Touch 1g which up until now worked fine. Then I updated to 3.0, jail-broke it fine and everything else seems ok, but the AV cable brings up the message about it not being a valid accessory.

It isn't clear if Apple will restore this functionality in a future update. 

As a side note, those with Apple chipped cables also notice a significant difference in the way video out works on their iPods. The video no longer plays on the device while it is playing on the TV. The device only displays the album art of the video.

As predicted, the iPhone 3GS is now jailbroken.   George "Geohot" Hotz is the first to publish a full jailbreak for Apple's new phone, only a few weeks after its release.  Called Purplera1n, the jailbreak is only Windows for now but there will be a Mac version soon.  The Dev team is also working on an update to their ultrasn0w tool that will unlock the SIM as well. 

Update: Video posted a below.

Facebook for iPhone 3.0 is coming very soon. I can't predict an exact date when I will submit to Apple, but I can say that I am about 98% done. So what's new in this update?

Multiple sources have provided MacDailyNews with an internal AT&T memo that highlights the company's recent milestones and successes:

On this year's launch day, iPhone sales exceeded sales recorded on 2008's iPhone launch day, Black Friday 2008 and Dec. 26, 2008 — all heavy-volume sales days. In fact, this year we surpassed 2008's launch day sales at about noon Central time, and sustained our previous peak hour record, also set in 2008, for 11 straight hours.

Nice work by Crispen Porter Bogusky Bradley and Montgomery. They are in full backtracking mode now so this might dissapear from Youtube.

Stranger things have happened.  Have a gander at this somewhat hilarious patent illustration filed by Apple:

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing real-time feedback to karaoke users are provided. The systems and methods for providing users with real-time feedback while they are singing karaoke generally relate to receiving the user's vocals, determining whether the user is singing on key/pitch and providing real-time feedback to the user while the karaoke song is being sung. The feedback will be positive feedback if user is on key/pitch and it will be negative feedback if user is off key/pitch. For example, the feedback signal if the user is singing too low can be an exaggerated low signal of the user's own voice. This will encourage the user to sing at a higher pitch.

We actually really like this idea, even if it has little chance of making it to a final product.  It might be better on the AppleTV platform if Apple is still interested in that hobby.

Holy Star Trek!...this Arabic<-->English translator app seems to work eerily well. Will it soon be the universal language translator we've all only seen being wielded by the Captain Kirks of the world?  We're not sure, but this type of technology certainly could help us out on out our next trip to France.  When can we have?

There is plenty of upside to Apple's choice not to change the design of the iPhone3GS from the iPhone 3G.  All docks and accessories work between models, you know exactly where all of the buttons are on the device and "it ain't broke", right? 

Well, there is also a downside.  Those knockoff-makers have lots of time to perfect your look and feel.  Cult of Mac looked at popular Chinese iClones like the A88 or SciPhone i68 and found them amazingly similar...on the outside.

Voice Control and Copy/Paste(below) debuted today.

Skype 1.1 for iPhone was released (iTunes link) today.  New features include: 

- Send text (SMS) messages using Skype credit.
- Voicemail support.
- Support for the following languages:
English, German, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Spanish, Norwegian, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Italian, French, Polish and Japanese.
- Improved dialing help when calling phones.

Skype has taken the iPhone platform by storm.  Skype had passed the million mark within a few days of its launch on March 31st.  Then on April 8th, it passed 2 million.  In May it passed 4 million and is believed to be on at least one out of every 10 iPhones and iPod touches.

This is the first feature update since launch, though push notifications is what we were really hoping for.
