This is funny, even humiliating, as the guys from Dev Team have already managed to put their hands on the new iPhone firmware update version 2.0, and jailbreak it. Mind you, this version was first announced only few days ago, at the Apple roadmap SDK event in Cupertino, and while we’ve been impatiently waiting for the release in June, some people have worked their ass on making it available right now (for hacked handsets). Stay tuned for more updates.

I have no idea why Apple denies this copy-paste function from iPhone users, but as always, there’s someone to bring a solution. With iCopy, you can copy text from within a web page and paste almost any text on the page. In addition, you can copy URL addresses and email them to your friends via your handsets. Although it looks a bit complicated, it can serve you greatly. To add this app. you have to install iCopy as a bookmark, browse the web as usual and choose the text you want, then just click your bookmarks icon and choose Copy/Paste.

The guys at Megawhat.tv have decided to make a comparison between the two leading multimedia boxes, the Archos TV+ and the Apple TV. This head to head video, examine both devices on different categories such as movies, photos, music, streaming, outputs, inputs, GUI and more. The results are not conclusive and pretty much let you decide for yourself, according to your personal needs and flavors. Personally i prefer Apple’s GUI but reluctant with their format limitations. On the other hand, i do like the Archos TV+ and the ability to connect any box into it, so for me the best would probably be - Archapple TV. Check out the video here.
