Those of you in the U.S. planning to travel internationally in the near future may want to be careful. The Bush administration recently overturned a 22-year-old policy, granting the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency the ability to confiscate and search any small portable electronic devices, including iPhones and iPod touches, without probable cause.

Google has just updated their mobile iPhone-formatted web interface to include Google Translate. The new interface was created by Google employees David Singleton and Allen Hutchison during their 20% work time that the company requires them to spend on personal projects. Just like the normal web version, Google Translate for iPhone allows translation both two and from any available language, right from the iPhone.
