This is the official OH MY GAWD LEOPARD IS BEING RELEASED IN A LITTLE OVER A WEEK POST!!!! As you can see, or have seen, Caffeinated Macs has been officially pimped off for the birth of the new cat. I plan to keep the site looking this sharp until a few weeks after the 26th. Enjoy!

And since we’re on the topic of Leopard’s esthetics, how about there logo? It’s changed over the course of it’s announcement those many moons ago. Take a look:

These images are in cronological order of when they appeared on the Mac scene. Image 1 was the Leopard label in the Developer Preview. Image 2 was a later appearence of the logo during WWDC and was thought to be the official logo Apple were going to use. This light yellow galaxy behind the X is now used in the Server release of Leopard. Finally, 3 is the official Mac OS X Leopard design and logo. Pretty snazzy in my opinion.

3 days after I got my iTouch, I jailbroke it. More importantly, I jailbroke my touch on a PPC machine, for all those haters who said it couldn’t be done, Intel only, bla bla bla. That should provide some eager PPC users the reassurance they need to attempt this themselves. I used this tutorial at touchdev, and everything worked perfectly. Plus it was easy like a Sunday morning.

That being said, I’ve been using Cyberduck’s SSH feature plus Installer.app on the touch to install the third party apps I have been craving since I got the touch screen filled goodness. On my touch currently, I have the following apps:

• Google Maps - self explanatory*requires GMM framework in Library > Frameworks*
  
• TextEdit - self explanatory *alternative to Notes on iPhone, which in Mail 3.0 has a syncing feature, not doubt leaving the touch users in the dark.
  
• NES - an emulator for NES games. Reads all NES ROM’s I’ve currently tried including my favorite: Kirby Adventure!

• MobileChat - for all your instant messaging purposes.
• MobileFinder - just kind of fun to have around, portable finder on your touch.
• Weather - need to know when its going to pour, right?
• Installer - hurray for self extracting packages and the apps that go inside them!
• Terminal - my mobile UNIX haven.

What apps have you guys used and what do you guys recommend anything to add to my list?

Things are buzzing in the Mac World, and I mean buzzing. Seems as though two people have finally been able to break the jailbreak on the iTouch, YIPPPPPEEEEEEE!

For those who don’t know, I did splurge and spend 430 dollars on a iPod Touch, and I LOVE IT!!!! That would explain my sheer joy to hear that I will be able to install 3rd party apps on it. Let’s tune in to TUAW or Endgadget for more, and for minute updates go to #betatest at irc.toc2rta.com.

PS: I have pictures of my touch =D
