Geohot has set up a new blog and is asking for help in his legal battle with Sony.
Media, I need your help. This is the first time I have ever asked. Please, if you support this cause, help me out and spread the word.
I want, by the time this goes to trial, to have Sony facing some of the hardest hitting lawyers in the business.
Together, we can help fix the system
Sony is suing Geohot and fail0verflow for jailbreaking the PS3 console. This is a case that could have huge ramifications for consumer rights. The EFF says, "Sony's core arguments — that it can silence speech that reveals security flaws using the DMCA and that the mere fact of a terms of use somewhere gives a company permanent and total control over what you do with a device under pain of criminal punishment — are both sweeping and frightening, and not just for gamers and computer researchers. Frankly, it's not what we expect from any company that cares about its customers, and we bet it's not what those customers expect, either."
The Library of Congress Copyright Office has ruled that smartphone jailbreaking was legal but they have not as of yet made the same ruling for game consoles. Geohot has helped many in the iPhone community with his jailbreaks. We urge you to donate towards the cause. You can read more details about this on http://www.geohot.com or at his new "Geohot Got Sued" blog.
(If he wasn't a pretentious ass, i would donate $1.00 and help)

If they'd spend a third of their design budget on proper R&D and OS development, they might actually have a decent product on their hands.

Final Fantasy III coming to iOS
According to a post in our forums, Japanese blog Esuteru ( はちま起稿 ) has obtained a scanned image from V-Jump magazine which claims that Square Enix is readying a port of Final Fantasy III for iOS in addition to their already announced Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions port which is due sometime this Spring. This is exciting news to say the least, but unfortunately I don't read Japanese and therefore am left with quite a few questions.
First of all, the announcement of Final Fantasy III refers to a Japanese release, so even if it is officially in the works there's no guarantee that it will also come to the US. Given the success Square Enix has seen with their iOS Final Fantasy games stateside, I'd imagine that it will, but it would be nice to know for sure. Also, it isn't clear which version of Final Fantasy III would be ported. It was originally a Japanese NES game that wasn't released in the US until the 2006 Nintendo DS 3D remake. It could be a direct port of the NES title, a port of the DS version, or something entirely different.
It's important to remember that the Final Fantasy III that most Americans have fond memories of on the Super Nintendo is actually Final Fantasy VI in Japan, so don't get your hopes up if that's the version you're envisioning for this release. I never played the original Final Fantasy III on NES, but I did really enjoy the DS remake from a few years ago. I would hope that if Square Enix does release a version for iOS that it would be based off of this version, or at the very least an enhanced 2D version along the same lines of their Final Fantasy [$8.99] and Final Fantasy II [$8.99] releases on iOS.
There's a thread in our forums where discussion of this possible upcoming game is taking place, and we'll of course bring you any new information regarding official confirmation of Final Fantasy III for iOS from Square Enix just as soon as we get it.
(Thanks to Joystiq and Siliconera for bringing the post in our forums to our attention!)

how long does an IP4 battery charge supposed to last?
Just got my IP4 on friday....and im experiencing quick drainage (in comparison to my BB).
My IP4 fully charged overnight. I used it as mp3 player for 2-3 hours today and check email here and there....and by 4pm it was down to 40% left.

Give it a week or two, your batt is fresh.
Just make sure you have the other connections turned off when you're not using them and being in an area with ty signal really kills the batt.
