Dev Team has found a way to jailbreak the newest version of the iPhone OS, OS 3.1. The hack requires that you’ve jailbroken the phone for either 3.0 or 3.0.1. The jailbreak was previously unavailable for the newest iPhone model. If you purchased a new phone that comes with 3.1 pre-installed, you’re out of luck. There is no method for jailbreaking the device from that state at this time. You know someone will find it within the next few months, though. It only takes so long.

Organizing your iPhone apps can be a bit of a pain, mostly because the OS won’t allow empty space between your apps, even while your organizing. The result is something like a tile puzzle as you try to determine where your apps will go if you drag Skype out of place.

There have been some rumors that iTunes 9 houses a simpler method, but none of that is official and there’s always the question: when? If you’re willing to jailbreak your phone, the answer could be simple: now. Indie Mac developer Jeff Stieler put together a little app called Movement, which will display your current apps side by side in panes. You can then drag and drop any app you choose, even multiple apps at once, to any page you like. When you save the changes to your iPhone or iPod Touch, the program also gives you the option to backup your changes so you can revert at any time.

Let me reiterate that this requires jailbreaking to work and is only available for Mac. If you’re in desperate need of a simple organization tool, this is a great candidate. If you aren’t the tinkering type, though, I’d probably steer clear.
