Got 2.2GB of storage free on your iPhone (or iPod Touch) and fancy carrying around a wealth of knowledge to impress ladies, ace the pub quiz and generally come across as a Smart-Alec? Then you’ll be wanting to follow Patrick Collinson’s instructions to put the entire English version of Wikipedia (minus extraneous links, unnecessary pictures and other rubbish) onto your cellphone, and never again be subject to the whims of a languorous EDGE connection when you’re desperate for another factoid.

The same geniuses who brought you the iJailbreak solution for Apple’s latest iPhone and iPod Touch 1.1.3 firmware have gone that extra mile of tweaking and created iJailbreak Mobile: now you can enable unofficial third-party software on your cellphone or PMP without even needing to use your Mac or PC. Requiring your device has already been Jailbroken for versions 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, the process involves adding ‘http://ijailbreak.com/repo.plist’ to Installer.app and running the new application that installs while with a decent WiFi connection.

After suspicions that the rumored iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak solution was a hoax, the Dev Team have pleased us all by rolling out a working patchfor the latest iPhone firmware that leaves unlocked handsets compatible with any SIM and, thanks to some clever on-the-fly adaptation of Apple’s official firmware update, doesn’t wipe any data from your cellphone. Available in Mac and PC versions, the software downloads the 1.1.3 upgrade, decompresses is, Jailbreaks and adds Installer.app to it, then flashes the iPhone with the modified version. After a reboot you not only have all of the latest Apple features - including multi-recipient SMS and assisted-GPS - but the ability to load third-party applications in advance of the official SDK.

After playing with a NES, Game Boy, and Playstation 1 emulators, a current release of a SNES emulator has been released in a beta version. The video shows the emulator running at promising frame rate. As of now the beta release isn’t open to the public, but can be obtained if you’re impatient by donating to the dev team. No idea when it’ll be out but I know I still have to finish Zelda: The Minish Cap on the Game Boy emulator.Â
