Hello. Today mydailytech.com is bringing you a review of the new app – Action Potato by Sunflat Studios.
This app is very addictive and has very simple controls. You simply tap it to make the pan jump up and catch the potato to earn points. It’s it’s very repetitive, but like Sunflat Studio’s best game – Papi jump, it is repetitive but amazing at the same time.
This game can really grow on you – if you’re like me, you may want to add this app to your dock, it really is a keeper!
The Mover Open app allows you to have a virtual table, that you can slide notes, business cards or pictures over. Just by flicking it toward the other device.
It’s not quite as simple as the Bump app where you hold your iPhone in your hand and bump fists with someone else, and your contact information is swapped. But it works better when you don’t have 3G or a wi-fi network.
Mover open allow you to pass files or text between each other on both wi-fi or Bluetooth. Making it useable almost anywhere. I give it a solid 7.5 out of ten, a great app to have but not something you will most likely use every day.
It will likely come in handy just when you’d think you wouldn’t need it! That’s how life is.

Safari is quite a slow and buggy browser on the iPod / iPhone – one of the only advantages being that it is built in. There are alternate browsers that you can download for your iPod / iPhone, and today we will review three. We will be reviewing the browsers: Mango Web Browser, Aquari Stealth Browser, and Privately Web Browser. They are by far the best ones I tested, and all are a LOT faster than safari.
Privately Web Browser
Privately Web Browser : The Privately browser is the second best web browser I tested. It has only a few things making it better than the rest: the first thing is that it’s FAST. When timed it was the fastest out of all of them. The second thing is that it happens to load QuickTime videos, when safari can’t do Jack. And third, it deletes history, your cache and cookies on the spot, making it untraceable. The only downside to this browser is that it can’t log into websites because it deletes cookies and clears your cache. I highly recommend it if you want to search the web securely with no traces left behind for snoops to look at.
Mango Web Browser
Mango Web Browser: Mango is the best web browser I tested and I highly recommend downloading it. It’s the second fastest. You can log onto any site, it has a crazy yellow and black background, and a hub for virtually every popular site. The only thing I can recommend to the makers of mango is that they add in tabs which is the only good thing about safari.
Aquari Stealth Browser
Aquari Stealth Browser:
This browser is the third best only because of it’s features. In fact it has so many
features that I can’t list all of them so if you really are interested in it, look it
up in the app store. But really, I don’t recommend it. It offers good protection, and good searching, but your better off to get mango and privately and not waste your
time on it. I do not recommend it. The browser is really too bloated.

Warning: Jailbreak at your own risk! It is quite safe, because it is nearly impossible to brick your iPod, yet you will lose data that you had on your iPod, to save any important data, choose to back-up your iPod when restoring it.
When Jailbreaking, if your iPod won’t turn on, then use the restore in iTunes.
First of all I’d like to clear up a couple things.
JailBreaking is not illegal however things like ROMs are illegal, It is quite safe with no confirmed cases of an iPod Bricking.
and last of all there will be times you think your ipod is bricked, in this case use what I call the 3 Rs, Rese when t, Restore and Respond
Reset your iPod by holding the Power and Home Buttons, if you do not know what they are, you shouldn’t be trying to JailBreak your iPod, at the same time until your iPod seems to shut off in this case keep holding the buttons until the boot logo appears.
Restore on your computer.
And Respond on this post.
Disclaimer: My Daily Tech does not take any Liability to anything that happens while you are Jail Breaking your iPod.

Ok well a redsn0w does not work with Firmware Version 3.1.1 so you’ll need to wait for them to update it.
Ok now your ready to start, You must have:
