Our sister site Gamer World has a preview of an upcoming 3D racing iPhone game called Wingnuts Moto Racer.
“With WWDC next week and the iTunes App Store on the horizon, developers must be scrambling to get their products out as quickly as possible. No one wants to be left behind when the doors open and happy iPhone users get a first look at what’s available. The developers, at the time of this writing, are probably one bug away from a nervous breakdown.,” the writer writes.

Although the new iPod Touch firmware v1.1.3 was released only this week, it seems like hackers have already managed to jailbreak it.
Jailbreak is the procedure that makes the iPod Touch writable and accessible for third party programs and other modifications.
According to a video posted online (if it’s not a fake — see for yourself below), the iPod Touch was indeed jailbreaked, since the Installer.app iPod Touch third party programs installer is working on what appears to be a v1.1.3 firmware iPod Touch.
Although, the creators of the jailbreak for some reason do not want to release it before Apple makes the Software Development Kit available next month — one theory is it’s since they’re afraid that Apple will relock the device along with the SDK release if the exploit was to be published now… That doesn’t really make much sense, does it?

Our sister site iPhone World reports that AppSnapp, a “jailbreak” web application to be used with any iPod Touch device, was just released.
AppSnapp allows one to jailbreak his iPod Touch just by accessing the website, and also fixes a TIFF critical file exploit.
Initially all Apple iPod touch devices have a read-only mode enabled, which means one cannot install third party application on his iPod Touch. The AppSnapp iPodTouch “jailbreak” hack removes this restriction, therefore allowing you to install your favorite third party applications.
To access the hack point your iPod Touch Safari browser over to http://jailbreakme.com/ — but make sure you really understand the associated risks.
