Can I Upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5.7 with a Jailbroken iPhone?

The short answer is yes. In fact, according to the iPhone Dev-Team, the latest version of Mac OS X is more iPhone jailbreak-friendly than the previous version. This is due to the fact that version 10.5.6 prevented users from putting the iPhone into DFU mode.

The Dev-Team states, "The new 10.5.7 Leopard update is safe. In fact it's more jailbreak-friendly than 10.5.6, since the DFU-mode bug is gone."

How can I export my Shazam tagged songs list?

First of all, your iPhone must be jailbroken and running SSH. There is currently no built-in functionality in Shazam to export tagged songs or backup tagged songs to a web account.

SSH is free and can be found on the Cydia installer. Connect to your Wi-Fi network and look for the name of your network under Settings -> Wi-Fi. Select the blue arrow for more information about your network and make a note of the IP address of your iPhone.

Connect to your iPhone from a computer using an SSH client. The username is 'root' and the default password is 'alpine' to connect.

The latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta version is live for developers, and requires installation of the iTunes 8.2 pre-release for activation. Questions and speculation have arisen over a reference to Blu-ray included in the "About iTunes" window of iTunes 8.2.

The second, and arguably more interesting device is somewhere between an iPod Touch and a netbook. Dubbed the "media pad" by a source talking to BusinessWeek, this entirely new Apple hardware would also have access to the Verizon Wireless network, and have the capability to make calls using WiFi.
