By now, you’re likely one of the over million strong iDevice owners who jailbroke their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches using Comex’s latest JailbreakMe V3 userland exploit. Because JailbreakMe exploits a security hold in iOS’s PDF rendering code, then allows you to patch that vulnerability with PDF Patcher 2, a jailbroken iDevice is ironically more secure right now than a device running stock iOS 4.3.3.

That’s not to say there weren’t problems though. If you jailbroke your device over the last few days and tried to use Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, you’d experience issues. But Comex is coming again to the rescue.

Check this out: at a recent Twitter Town Hall hosted at the White House alongside Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, President Barack Obama sent his first live Tweet… and did so on his MacBook Pro, modded with a conspicuous presidential seal over the iconic Apple logo.

While the release of JailbreakMe 3.0 has resulted in jubilation amongst most users, it has curiously prompted a national panic in Germany, where a country-wide warning for all iOS products has been issued by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security.

A federal judge Wednesday rejected Apple’s immediate bid to stop online retailer Amazon from using the “App Store” name, reports say. The iPad and iPhone maker had failed to prove “a likelihood of confusion” if Amazon continued using the name, a judge ruled.

TuneUp is the #1 add-on for iTunes. It cleans up song metadata like missing album info or misspelled names. It also delivers related music videos, and alerts you when favorite artists are playing in town.

It’s easy to use and can do a quick job of cleaning up the messiest library. But it’s not perfect: songs can be mislabeled and there’s been complaints of bugs and crashes. TuneUp costs $39.95/yr or $49.95 one time fee for a bundle. TuneUp also offers a la carte pricing for individual products. A free demo cleans up to 50 songs and removes 25 duplicates.

Yesterday I got a chance to talk to Gabe Adiv, founder and CEO of TuneUp Media,company behind the plug-in.

He gave me some interesting statistics about iTunes and listening habits, as well as thoughts about Apple moving music into the cloud.

The friendly skies weren’t so kind to a Russian pilot who had eight iPads nicked from his luggage somewhere between JFK and Moscow.

Oleg Korneev thought he wasn’t taking many chances with the precious cargo: he used two external locks and shrink wrapped his suitcase before boarding the plane.

We’ve seen keyboard style cases before, but rarely with this level of panache: the Aluminum Keyboard Buddy Case is made in a similar material and shape to the iPad 2, turning your Apple tablet into a reasonable simulacrum of the MacBook Air.

New screenshots demonstrating Facebook’s much-anticipated Project Spartan web app platform, in addition to a tentative launch date for the service, have been published online. And despite Facebook’s promise that the service isn’t intended to rival the App Store, developers say there’s no question.

The first authorised biography of Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been given a new title after its author, Walter Isaacson, persuaded publishers to go with something a little more “elegant.”

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has given airlines the go ahead to ditch old fashioned flight bags in favor of the iPad — a move that promises to save paper, time and money.
