If you’re part of Leafs Nation, you’ll be happy to know that there is now an official Toronto Maple Leafs application for the iPod touch and iPhone. Maple Leafs Mobile (iTunes link), free in the App Store, allows you to view the Toronto Maple Leafs’ latest scores, schedule, players and team news. You can also find recent blog entries by Maple Leaf commentators such as Mike Ulmer and Joe Bowen. It’s a handy application for an on-the-go Leafs fan.
Maple Leafs Mobile was developed by Polar Mobile, the developers of The Hockey News mobile (iTunes link). They’ve also released a BlackBerry-friendly version of Maple Leafs Mobile, which can be found by going to http://www.mapleleafs.mobi on your BlackBerry.
For the iPod touch, parts of this application require that you are connected to a Wi-Fi connection.
This week at iPod touch Fans, we’re giving away a free copy of Night Stand. To enter, you must leave a comment on that contest thread before February 8th at 7pm ET (that’s 4pm pacific). We’ll choose one random winner who will walk away with a free copy of Night Stand.
Some users have pointed out that this application is free, but that’s no longer the case. The developers of Night Stand pushed out an update and at the same time bumped the price up to $1.99. If you already installed a free copy of Night Stand the update was free. That said, if you already have a free copy of Night Stand then we kindly ask you not to enter this contest and give those without the application a chance at winning. Thanks for your cooperation and good luck to everyone that enters!
Thanks to iPhoneFTW over at our iPod touch Fans forum, we’re glad to tell you that those with a Hotmail account can now use the Mail application on their iPod touch or iPhone. There is now an option in the Mail application to include your Hotmail details, but you need to have a Windows Live Hotmail Plus subscription in order to be compatible. Can anyone say “thank you Microsoft”?
Update: We understand that many people have managed to get Hotmail setup on their iPod touch or iPhone, but this is to update you that Apple has officially included support for Hotmail users.
Long before I began my reviews on iPod touch cases here at Hack the iPod touch, I was encouraged by a YouTube user, itsmemorphious, aka Carlos. About half a year ago, Carlos started creating YouTube videos on his thoughts and opinions of certain cases for his (at the time) new iPhone 3G. And since July, he’s come a long way to the point where while opening a package routinely, he found something quite surprising inside. We’ll explain across the jump.
Before you do that, take a look at Carlos’ latest review on XTand:
Meet Francesco Mugnai: an Italian graphics designer who teaches graphic design (who would have guessed) at an institute of Art and Design. He also has a blog on the side where he has recently posted 60 Apple wallpapers to share with everyone. He’s found the wallpapers, like the one pictured above, on websites like deviantART and Flickr. Some of the wallpapers you’ll find familiar but there are also some other great designs – and you might just end up using one.
If you want to use these wallpapers on your iPod touch (or iPhone) you can easily crop them to 320 x 480 and you’re good to go. Or if you’re unfamiliar with how to do that, you could make a request in the graphics and design section at our forums. One of the graphics-savvy users would be glad to help you out!
Today marks the final today to enter this week’s App Store giveaways over at our forum iPod touch Fans. This week we’re giving away Super Sniper ($1.99), Stitch’Em Words ($2.99), and Photo Spot ($0.99). To enter these giveaways you must leave a comment on the contest threads before midnight ET tonight. We’ll be giving away a few copies of each of these applications to a random handful of users.

Earlier today, the iPhone Dev Team released their tethered jailbreak for the iPod touch 2G. The big question now is: do you attempt at jailbreaking now or wait in hopes that an untethered jailbreak will be released in the coming weeks? It’s a hard decision, but one that you might find easier to make once you realize the difficulty level that the tethered jailbreak tags along with it. I’ll explain across the jump.
