This is what you get after two slow news days! Apple’s 3G 64GB iPad in the microwave oven, enjoy :)
Spirit was today released for any iProduct with OS version 3.1.x or 3.2.
What’s Spirit?
- Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch on the latest firmwares.
- Spirit is not a carrier unlock.
- If you currently are using a tethered jailbreak, you have to restore to use Spirit. Do not upgrade if you use an unlock on an iPhone 3G or 3GS. (You can, however, restore to 3.1.2 if you have SHSH blobs for that version.)
Requirements
- Any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch on firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3, or 3.2.
- An activated device: one not stuck on the Connect to iTunes or Emergency Call screen.
- Any version of iTunes 9 (including 9.1.1).
- Syncing with iTunes before trying this highly recommended.
Note: On iPad, all this is still sort of beta. Some packages in Cydia, not designed for iPad, might screw up your system and require you to restore. Be careful. (And no, Cydia’s appearance is not final.)

Update: Can confirm that this really was easy. I just finished installing this on my iPhone 3GS 3.1.3, and it worked flawlessly.

LG Innotec will produce a 5-megapixel camera for the iPhone 4G.
LG Innotek will supply 5-megapixel cameras for Apple’s next-generation smartphone, the iPhone 4G, according to the industry on Wednesday.
The electronics component maker began producing the sophisticated cameras at its plant in Gumi this month and will mass produce them starting in the second half of this year.
The news means that LG Innotek’s camera technology has been recognized in the global market, an analyst with LIG Investment and Securities said. As the cameras fetch high prices, they will improve the firm’s sales, he added.
Bloomberg news reported in January that the upcoming iPhone will likely include a more advanced camera. “Upgrading to a 5-megapixel camera will bring the handset into line with that offered by Google’s Nexus One,” the report said, quoting a Goldman Sachs analyst. The iPhone 3G and 3GS are equipped with 2-megapixel and 3-megapixel cameras, respectively.
Apple is expected to announce the next generation iPhone at WWDC starting June 7th.

Opera Software just released the first maintenance update for the Opera Mini Web Browser for iPhone. The new update is mainly a bugfix update, with only one new feature, and that is support for Hungarian language.
What still bugs me about Opera Mini, is the horrible implementation of zoom. It supports only two zoom states, that can’t be adjust to your liking. Still waiting for a bigger update for me to switch over from Safari to Opera.
