There is an app (in the AppStore) called iGmail, I haven't tried it out as is $1.99. It is basically a front end to Safari with some additions from what I can gather, their 1.4 (waiting Apple approval) is supposed to address some issues.
It sounds OK and may give it a go sometime, maybe.
 
Dev Team have released PwangeTool for 3.1.2

Details:
SUMMARY:

The iPhone 3GS is now supported out of the box in PwnageTool 3.1.4 (or if you have upgraded to 3.1.x in iTunes)
The iPod 2G is still supported in PwnageTool 3.1.4 but you must already be jailbroken (we’ll update this if there’s a big demand from non-jailbroken ipt2G owners)
The iPod touch 3G is NOT supported
DETAILS:

GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a iPhone 3G or iPhone 3G(S) with ultrasn0w and rely on ultrasn0w to obtain cellular service then you should only update your device with an .ipsw that is made with the new PwnageTool. There are no second chances with this. You need to remember that PwnageTool will provide an upgrade path to newer versions of the iPhone software in the future.

Hope its not another winterboard theme again. Remember a very cool looking one working with categories and 'blank icons' for spacing. This looks quite nifty!

I guess it's just a matter of time before the find a new exploit. There are so many people of the jailbreakin scene these days - someone is bound to find it!
 
Gotta love the MAC - Geohot has released the Mac version of blackra1n. Just tested on 2 iPhones and it works flawlessly ;)

Apple Blocks Jailbreak in New iPhone 3GS Units

Apple is now shipping the iPhone 3GS with a new Bootrom that is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit.

The iBoot-359.3.2 started to ship last week. A screenshot posted by Mathieulh shows the new version number.

MuscleNerd from the iPhone Dev-Team has confirmed that the loss of the 24kpwn exploit would mean a normal jailbreak would be impossible for the time being.

3G or 3GS?

3G's....As in the plural form of a 3G - hence the apostrophe :D

Nashua Mobile told me yesterday the next time they getting stock of the 3Gs is next year March - what a load of crap! Who would want a 3Gs in March when 3 months later the 4th generation iPhone will get released anyway!
 
FM Radio app for iPhone and iPod touch?

We've just received a tip that an iPhone radio.app is being developed in-house by Apple for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. From what we know, the app will be allowed to operate in the background like iPod.app and will offer the same functionality as the FM radio in the new iPod Nanos. The source mentioned that this application could also be incorporated into the iPod.app before release.

The holdup on this app is that Apple is trying to integrate the Mobile iTunes Store purchases into the functionality of the program. For instance, if you like a song you are listening to on the radio (and that station supports tagging and you are in the US), you will be able to push a button and see the song (and all of the information around it) in the iTunes Mobile store. With another click, you'll be able to make a purchase. This is an extension of the Song Tagging feature used in the iPod Nanos. Perhaps they could even add some Shazam technology to help with those stations that don't support tagging.

Though it wasn't specified, the app will likely have the same Live Pause functionality that the Nanos currently enjoy.

Apple's iPods and iPhones have been able to receive FM radio signals for some time now. The latest generation of iPhone and iPod touch can even broadcast FM signal, for instance to a car stereo. The ability of the iPhone and iPod touch to receive FM signals has been used solely in the implementation of the Nike+ ecosystem to this point.

This wouldn't be the first time Apple awoke sleeping hardware functionality from its mobile products. Apple sometimes chooses to leave hardware features dormant in their products until they feel the time is right. For instance, Apple didn't enable Bluetooth in its 2nd generation iPod touch until 9 months after it was released. Apple also hasn't enabled the 802.11N +5GHZ wireless networking (which we also hope to see updated shortly) in its latest iPhone and iPods.

The addition of an FM radio would eliminate that advantage from the ZuneHD over Apple's line of Touch OSX products

I hope this is true...
 
Wow... I didn't even know that the iPhone had a FM Receiver!!! Isn't there a 3rd party FM app that one can install?

not so many i'm afraid, it's pretty much, dev-team, chronic dev (2 new people), and geohot (1 new person)

and contrary to belief, these actually do play well together most of the time, they share info
