The Dev team, upon the release of Snow Leopard, also has some additional good news to announce: Snow Leopard “poses no new wrinkles for the redsn0w jailbreak or ultrsn0w unlock”.
- You can use redsn0w to jailbreak any iPhone or iPod Touch using OS X, Windows, or Linux. For both 3.0 and 3.0.1 firmwares, you should point redsn0w at the 3.0 IPSW. If you see it hang at “waiting for reboot”, just unplug and replug that USB cable.
- You can use ultrasn0w to unlock the iPhone 3G/3GS, or BootNeuter to unlock the iPhone 2G. Both ultrasn0w and BootNeuter are available via Cydia.
- You can use PwnageTool for Mac to create custom IPSWs with pre-installed packages.

Well, as was rumored, Apple will now official release Snow Leopard 10.6 this coming Friday the 28th.
Awesome!!
This is a finely tuned update that will streamline Apple’s OS and bring it to the next level.
It is so fast. Go to apple.com and check out some of the benchmarks, they are truly impressive. While there, you can also pre-order the $29.00 update.
As for why Apple is releasing this update before the 9th is a mystery to me. Any educated guesses?
I hope that with this new and fabulous operating system Apple will release a newer line of computers not too far in the future. Although most of their lines are either in mid-cycle or beginning-cycle of their release timelines, a new operating system like this will open a lot of new possibilities.
Here is a really cool link that shows you approximately how long it will take for a new Apple product to hit the market.

Although Apple has not yet confirmed this date, it is expected that the next “release party” is to be on September 9th. On this day, Apple’s top release will most likely be the iPod 3G . They will mprobably also update the rest of iPod line. Whats more, it is also believed that the Beatles are finally coming to Itunes. Personally, I hope that they remaster this old Band and bring its sub-par quality up to current standards.
Oh, and Facebook 3.0 is finally in the horizon. A much needed update considering the current version does not support much that makes Facebook so cool.
Itunes 9 is rumored to have facebook support as well…. but don’t bet too much on this haha. It seems like a far shot.
Apple also released a software update that fixes the beeping and hard drive freezing issue that has been occurring on many 15in. MacBook Pros with the 7200RPM 500Gb Hard drive.
Snow Leopard is expected to be released August 28th, why…. I don’t know.
Hope this gets you up to speed.

Here are just some updates I found interesting:
iTunes 9 – Will support Blu-Ray, Twitter/FB, App organization
iMac – Probable due for Blu-Ray update
Google Voice – Planned to be remade in the form of a web-app
8gb iPhone 3Gs – Contrary to my previous statement, I have now heard that it may just be a rumor. But, it is still up in the air.
Snow Leopard OS 10.6 - A sure September release
Macbook Pro - According to many studies and apple trends, Apple’s next release should include a new and improved graphics card. This is, according to LaptopCheck, the only place the Macbook Pro falls short of its otherwise sterling standards. As for the expected release date, I hope it will also arrive in September. . . with the full realization that this would be highly idealistic.
Macbook Pro 15 in. - Is now available with a matte screen just like the 17 in. It will cost you $50 extra but is well worth the green considering the glare on the shiny model.
Also, for anyone interested in a iPod Touch 32gb, that has never been touched, please contact me

So, in light of the recent lack of Jailbreaking news, I thought I’d advertise the sale of my 32gb iPod Touch 2g! Email me at roosterhelp at gmail dot com if your interested.

Tell you about Apple’s probable release of a new 8gb model for the iPhone 3gs. It seems like a good idea for Apple to open the market to lower gigabyte users. The price will, of course, also attract a new customer base as well. It is rumored that this new model will cost only $99.00.
and
Tell you that I’m currently dual booting Windows 7. To say the least, I am very impressed. Microsoft has made a recovery . . . . just in time for Apple’s release of Snow Leopard haha.

The Dev Team has, quite quickly, “recycled” redsn0w version .8 to jailbreak the new 3.0.1 OS update.
How to correctly update:
Let iTunes update or restore you to the official 3.0.1
Run RedSn0w
RedSn0w will ask you to identify the IPSW used.
MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE 3.0 IPSW AND NOT THE 3.0.1.!!
After the JB reinstall ultrasnow .9 for the unlock.
Done,
Good Job Dev Team
