Apple could probably plaster most of its Cupertino campus with patents and patent applications if it wanted to, but we’re guessing there’s few that make it more happy than a design patent for a flagship device — like the iPhone 4. That’s now been granted a year after the company filed the application, which details the “ornamental design for an electronic device with graphical user interface” in words and pictures. What’s more, Apple’s now also finally snagged a design patent for the 2007 iPod touch, and it’s picked up a few other patents related to iTunes, Apple TV, and one for a “touch screen RFID tag reader.” Hit up the link below for a closer look at those . . . → Read More: Apple awarded design patent for iPhone 4

As before, the almighty iPad 2 is still not supported here, and ultrasn0w unlockers are reminded to wait for the new PwnageTool release later this week; but the rest of you can go ahead and grab the new tool at the source link. . . . → Read More: redsn0w untethered jailbreak updated for iOS 4.3.2, still no love for iPad 2
