JVC Victor Audio System is Perfect for iPhone and iPad Users

JVC Victor has announced a new audio system that will work with the iPhone and iPad that will hit Japan

first. The new audio system has some really cool features and comes in several colors. The device comes in two versions that share almost all the same features. The UX-VJ5 has a CD player built in and the UX-VJ3 lacks that CD player.

All the other features between the two systems are the same. Those common features include the ability to dock both the iPhone and iPad at the same time for charging. The system will play tunes from those devices and has a FM tuner integrated. The CD payer version hides the CD door behind the iPad.

The system has dual speakers each with 15W of power. Both of the products have audio inputs and video outputs to hook to your TV or larger computer screen. Another cool feature is that the VJ5 has a USB port and can rip your CDs to MP3 and shoot them to an external HDD. Pricing is unknown, but the devices will hit Japan at the end of July or beginning of August.

JailbreakMe for the iPad 2 is finally live / not live, just keep refreshing (update: video)

We just mashed our refresh button about a million times to get the screenshot you see above, but it was worth it. JailbreakMe 3.0 with support for the iPad 2 is finally live, and we're already getting word from tipsters who claim to have successfully jailbroken their iPad 2s running iOS 4.3.3, as evidenced by the pseudo-blurry jailbroken Verizon model below. Thankfully, all of this suggests we're not dealing with the dodgy release that was leaked previously, but let us know in the comments how it's working for you this time around and hit the break for another screenshot.

Update: Austin wrote in to tell us about a new jailbreaking tutorial from YouTube user Duncan33303 -- head past the break to watch it for yourself.

Apple's App Store hits 10 billion downloads (update: we have a winner)

Now that the number of App Store downloads to iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads around the world has handily exceeded the population of Planet Earth, we can hopefully put this story to bed until they hit another factor of ten -- and as unreasonable as 100 billion downloads sounds, we'll bet it actually won't take that long. That's right: just a few days after kicking off its online counter, Apple's officially hit the 10 billion mark, which is a whole lot of software any way you slice it. So, Android Market, you're next?

Update: The lucky winner was Gail Davis of Orpington, Kent, UK, who downloaded Paper Glider. PR after the break.
