‘Classic White’ DualShock 3 appears at e-tail, dreaming of an alabaster console
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
While the white PS3 Slim pictured above decidedly belongs to Japan, the “Classic White” DualShock 3 alongside has just appeared for preorder at e-tailers based in the US. Now, we wouldn’t go so far as to claim that an ivory 160GB game system will follow this controller across the Pacific, but let’s just say we won’t be surprised if Sony reveals one anyhow before these preorders (tentatively) ship on October 15th. After all, Sony already sells a “Ceramic White” controller, and unless you’re attempting to match colors, a single shade of eggshell paint is generally all you need.
[Thanks, William]

Tech review: Flipboard iPad app lets your friends recommend what to read
Most of the articles that show up in your newspaper or magazine are chosen by professional editors. What if they are picked out by a friend from college instead? Or a colleague from work? Or your mom? Anyone you know, really? That’s the concept behind Flipboard, a free application for Apple’s iPad.

PS3 jailbreak adapted to Nokia N900, Palm Pre in wake of Australian ban (video)
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
Two weeks ago you’d have to pay an Australian importer for a specialized USB key. Four days ago open-source software let you roll your own. Today, there’s no need for any of that — you can hack your PS3 with a tethered smartphone. Working closely with the PSGroove team, hacker Kakaroto adapted the same jailbreak to the Nokia N900, and the open-source community lost no time porting it to the Palm Pre as well. If the videos after the break are any indication, both versions work just as well as the original, and you too can get your game on with downloads and detailed instructions at the source links below.
Sadly, the aforementioned Australian importer OzModChips is a casualty of this little story, with all its shipments of the PS Jailbreak seized (and the item subject to injunction) by an Australian court, but we suppose knowing its product has enabled the hardware hacking community thus might somewhat soften the blow.
