ih8sn0w, the creator of sn0wbreeze has released a new version of his Windows only application which supports jailbreaking iOS 5.1 on iPhone, iPod and iPad ( which do not use an A5 processor ). The jailbreak will be tethered for now ( except for on iPhone 3GS with old bootrom ) until a better vulnerability has been found to enable untethered operation.
Even though it’s been some time since the iPhone Dev Team publically made available untethered jailbreak tools for iOS 5.0.1, they’ve been working hard to fix the remaining issues.

iPod nano was first launched in September 2005 and sold from that time onwards to December 2006. 5 years later, Apple has introduced a replacement program for iPod nano sold during that time as the batteries in these devices may overheat and pose a safety risk ( in rare cases ). To avoid any such issue, the program will get you a replacement unit without any battery defect.

I hadn’t written my take on his death yet as it’s difficult to accept that someone you admire isn’t there anymore.

Seeing as Tim has stood in for Steve during his medical leaves, this should come as no surprise to anyone.
If you haven’t had a chance to try iOS 5 Beta on your own, then you may not have noticed the new round button on the toggles. In all the iOS version prior, the toggle was rectangular. I prefer the new round toggle switch, and there is a reason Apple chose those buttons.
