Following the rumor that AT&T would beging throttling unlimited data customers for excessive use, AT&T has officially confirmed in a press release that such a procedure will fall into place this October. Starting October 1, AT&T will begin to implement data throttling for the top 5% of customers that remain on the unlimited data plan.
This move follows in the footsteps of Verizon, who is already throttling its unlimited customers in the same way.

Sound off the alarm. It looks as if a few folks have gotten spoiled. Either that, or they’re beginning to take for granted the benefits that jailbreaking brings to the table; namely, the ability to tweak our iPhone’s in any matter that we please.
For that reason, I try my hardest — although it is admittedly difficult at times — to take an objective stance on any tweak that comes across my desk...
Jailbreak developers have seemingly been on a role over the last few weeks, producing top-notch tweaks like CallBar and Apptivator. Well the streak doesn't seem to be over, as yet another quality utility has landed in Cydia.

Last week we brought you some photos, published by 9to5Mac, of a possible next-gen iPod Touch part. The piece was particularly interesting because it was white. As you might know, previous versions of the iPod Touch have always been black with a stainless steel backing.
Now, the same blog that brought us the original photos of the white iPod Touch casing has gotten its hands on more pictures. While the original snapshots were taken in Asian, close to Apple's manufacturing plants, these new pics come from here in America...

Apple's FaceTime video calling technology has been a mild success at best, with many flat out not using it, or lamenting the fact that, currently, a WiFi connection is required.

We don't usually post stuff like this on iDB —and we certainly don't have Bieber fever — but this was too good to pass up. Apparently, Justin Bieber uses a jailbroken iPhone.

Folks in the White House should be taking notice, because Apple now has more cash on hand than the entire US government. That's right, Steve Jobs is the new Uncle Sam.
