I was having problems getting the iPlayer to work. Just clearing the cache wasn't doing the trick but this routine seemed to work for me:
1. Navigate to 'about:blank'
2. Force Safari to quit (hold home button for 10secs)
3. Go into settings and clear safari's cache
4. Watch Top Gear
When you mean navigte to about blank. do i type that in or where do i go exactly?
Type it into the address bar as 'about:blank' (without quotes) and it will take you to a blank page.

I keep reading about ZiPhone and boot-loader downgrade. Does it still do that even in version 3.0? I swear I read that it was 2.x that did the automatic downgrade?

v3 does the downgrade too. I unlocked mine this way, and restored it to the latest version using the 'bootneuter' app. Only took a couple of minutes and did the process entirely from the phone.

PwnageTool or ZiPhone, what's the best way (read: easiest) to unlock your iPhone?
There's only one way to find out: FIGHT!
</Harry Hill>
Serious question, what is the best?

Easiest: ZiPhone
Best: How long is a piece of string?
Some people prefer the ease of use of ZiPhone, and don't mind the downgraded bootloader, others would rather PwnageTool because they like tinkering.

Of course I have a Mac, do I look stupid?
. My Pismo is the best... 
So ZiPhone 3,0 still does the boot-loader shiz? I may try PwnageTool but I have to get a iPhone first. What's the chances of them being in stock?

Use Pwnage mate if you have a mac its not hard at all!! Plus the downgraded bootloader in Ziphone isn't the only problem with the software. In 99% of cases it works fine but there is that 1% who now have bricked iphones from using it. Its upto you if you want to risk it but I would use the Pwnage tool if you have mac and Iliberty+ if you have windows. If you are going to use Pwnage go to macrumours forums and the Iphone Hacks & Apps thread and then follow the Pwnage tool guide there. Your phone must be on 1.1.4 firmware so if your buying a new one update it in itunes to 1.1.4.
Wouldnt a new one already have 1.1.4?
Not always. Could've been sat there for ages. Both myself and my sister bought one on the same day from different branches of CPW - hers had 1.1.2, mine had 1.1.4.

Nope as csmager said they don't. Its not hard to update it though.
So if i plug in a brand new iPhone and press update, it wont brick it?

Why would it? iTunes and the firmware are both supported.
I would recommend doing a restore to the later firmware and then unlocking.
Think you have to put it in recovery mode and hit restore actually, but the result is the same - a new unactivated, locked iPhone with the latest firmware. How you want it, really.
