The Associated Press just published an interesting piece titled New Gov’t Rules Allow Unapproved iPhone Apps which seems to announce the legalization of iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks:
Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple. The government is making that legal under new rules announced Monday.
The decision to allow the practice commonly known as “jailbreaking” is one of a handful of new exemptions from a federal law that prohibits the circumvention of technical measures that control access to copyrighted works. Every three years, the Library of Congress authorizes such exemptions to ensure that existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material.
Another exemption will allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
This is real big news! Up until today, there was a legal mystery surrounding iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks and even though you owned your iPhone, it wasn’t clear weather jailbreaking/unlocking it was legal or not. It seems it won’t be an issue anymore.
Now the big question is: will Apple be forced to provide a way to jailbreak the iPhone? Can you imagine the irony of the situation?

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 4 in 17 more countries on Friday.
Apple’s iPhone 4 will be available in 17 more countries this Friday, July 30. iPhone 4 features FaceTime, which makes video calling as easy as one tap, Apple’s new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in stunning text, images and video, and a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world.
The white iPhone 4 has been delayed until “later this year” and there is still a shortage of black iPhones in stores so I wonder how they’re going be able to fulfill the demand. Additionally, iPad screen manufacturer LG said even though it’s currently running at full capacity, the company won’t be able to meet Apple’s demand. That sure is a nice problem to have.
I know a couple people in the music biz and they like to record ideas on the fly ’cause who knows where inspiration might come from, right? Blue Microphone demoed the their soon to be released Mikey 2 at CEA Line Show in NY. The iPhone, iPod and iTouch compatible mic turns your mobile device into a mobile vocal booth. (more…)
Our friends over at Gizmodo got their hands on the latest iPhone, and it seems like there is a lot new with it including a second camera for video conferencing, a higher resolution screen and use of a mico-sim. Check the link for more details

I am sure you will hear a lot about this over the next few months and years. I have an iPhone and extremely excited to have its big brother.
I listened live to the Apple Announcement and here is some bullet points about the iPad I heard.

9.5 inch screen
Keyboard on the screen
All the apps from the app store will work on it. Original size or 2x the pixels for full screen.
Cost:
16gb = 499$
32gb = 599$
64gb = 699$
It has 3g built into it for the following through AT&t
