Looks like the rumors were true! Apple announced today that they will be offering students a free iPod touch or iPod Nano with the purchase of a Mac computer (Mac Mini excluded of course).
My question is simple, why would you ever pick an iPod Nano over an iPod touch?
I’ve received a few emails from people who can’t get the Firewire GUID patch for iSlsk to work. So I’ve rewritten the patch and posted an update to Installer.
In order to fully test it, I restored my iPhone to stock 1.1.4 firmware, jailbroke it and installed both iSlsk and the Firewire GUID patch and it seems to be working. If anyone is still having problems, please contact me and we’ll get things sorted out.
p.s. Remember to refresh your sources to get the update!
Ed has submitted another theme, xudaz, which is now available via the repo.
Looks like I complained a little too soon, Skyhook actually added my AP to their database and it now shows up on Maps. Seems like 19 days is the magic number.
On the 12th of April I’d posted on how to submit your AP to Skyhook Wireless (the folks behind the iPod touch/iPhone’s ability to plot your location based off available APs). Well, 18 days later and still no sign of being added to their database.
I feel so cheated… Okay, not really.
We’ve just added a new theme to the Hijinks Repo, courtesy of one of our readers.
MonochromeSketch by Ed is now online, just refresh your sources to get it to show up.
After posting on how to run Facebook Chat from your Firefox sidebar, I got to thinking about the other potential usages of popout.php. More specifically, using it as a browser based chat client on the iPhone.  Sadly though, Facebook has neglected to allow iPhone/iPod touch users the ability to run Facebook Chat from Mobile Safari. Lame!
Anyhow, with my limited programming skills I’m toying with a way around this, but don’t expect any miracles since I don’t really plan on using Facebook Chat all that often.
Reader Ed sent me a message on Facebook asking how to go about creating a theme for the iPod touch/iPhone. Here’s a quick tutorial.
First, an overview of what images you’ll need to create.
As you can see listed above, you’ll need to create Dock.png, StatusBar.png and Wallpaper.png. As well as an Icons folder. It should be noted that none of these are absolutely required, you can easily make a theme without a Wallpaper.png, etc.
Create a folder named after your theme, then store the files listed above in said folder.

Hot on the heels of their earnings call, Apple released the fourth version of the iPhone SDK beta. The SDK now supports OpenGL ES for the iPhone simulator.
The fourth beta version of the iPhone SDK includes Xcode IDE, iPhone simulator with Open GL ES support, Interface Builder, Instruments, frameworks and samples, compilers, and Shark analysis tool.
You can grab the update by logging into the iPhone Developer Center and clicking the download link.
Here’s the first of (hopefully) many themes I’ll be releasing for the iPod touch/iPhone. This is a updated version of the eGlass theme by exg5, this version is optimized for the iPod touch.
Preview after the jump.
