PC and Mac utility DiskAid allows you to make use of iPhone as a data storage device - but both uploading and downloading data require you have DiskAid installed on the computer, free (during beta) iPhone application USB Drive takes care of this by allowing you to use your iPhone as a true mass storage device which works right out-of-box on any computer without needing any third-party utility or driver.

You will need an jailbroken iPhone with Cydia installed to download USB Drive beta 2, also make sure you read all the instructions before using it.

iPhone application DRM is cracked and users actively share cracked iPhone applications and games but now here is something which lets you get paid iPhone games and applications legally for free - the only thing asked in return is that you post a honest review of that application at iTunes store.

With Chronic Dev Team's progress reports on iPhone OS 3.1 exploit and Jailbreak everybody was expecting them to take the lead with Greenpois0n jailbreaking utility coming before iPhone Dev Team release's their updated PwnageTool 3.1 compatible with Apple's latest 3.1 firmware update, however, the iPhone Dev Team has now once again taken the lead by releasing an updated version of PwnageTool 3.1 for MacOS X - the updated utility lets users jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1 by creating an custom IPSW file without updating the baseband and hence retaining the Ultrasn0w unlock and jailbreak.

The bad news is that the current release of PwnageTool 3.1 is available only for Mac OS X and supports iPhone 1st Generation (2G), iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch 1G only - that means no jailbreak for Windows and iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch 2G/iPod Touch 3G users as of now.

Much awaited iPhone OS 3.1 Jailbreak seems to be on the horizon but this time instead of the usual iPhone Dev Team, Chronic Dev Team seems to be taking the crown for 3.1 jailbreak as hints on their coming jailbreaking utility Greenpois0n start appearing on internet, the Chronic Dev Team earlier tweeted that iPhone OS 3.1 is still vulnerable and they are working on a jailbreak - now to make things more interesting they have posted a video showing proof-of-concept demonstrating the exploit working on iPod Touch 3G (video after the jump), they have named the exploit Greenpois0n and the site is already online waiting to be updated with a working jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.1 ;).

Finally, links to download iPod Touch and iPhone OS 3.1 are live and users can download them right now either automatically via iTunes or direct links provided at end of the post, the update is free for all iPhone users and iPod Touch users having firmware version 3.0 - it seems iPod touch users having older firmware version needs to pay $4.95 for getting iPod Touch OS 3.1.
