Lunchtime lowdown: iPhone hacked again, BlackBerry Thunder guide leaks, PlayStation Home in testing

It’s lunchtime, so grab a sandwich and settle down for a recap of everything gadget-shaped you’ve missed this morning.

Hackers working on the iPhone have hit headlines again this morning, moving swiftly to crack open Apple’s latest software update and let the touchscreen wonderphone work on any network, as well as run un-approved apps.

It’ll come as a huge relief to anyone still running old iPhone firmware on their jailbroken handset, as all of Apple’s bug fixes can now be installed without risk of being booted off the mobile network. But how long will it last? Word is, there’s another iPhone update right around the corner.

Also right around the corner is the BlackBerry Thunder. We’ve even caught sight of a “Dummies guide” to the unannounced phone online. What do you think? Hoax, or a sign that its launch is imminent?

Lastly, Sony has finally started to invite European gamers to test its next-generation social service: PlayStation Home.
