The new nano is fantastic!
30.09.2008, 07:49
I purchased the new iPod nano, and it is the best MP3 player I have ever used. The large screen and classic Apple scroll wheel design make navigating songs a snap. What’s more the new gen 4 nano has a music ‘genius’ onboard.
The Genius feature lets you select a song, and will match that song with others that go well together with it. The first time I used it I thought to myself, “wow, I couldn’t have put together a better playlist!” The built in accelerometer is also a nice addition! If I want to re-shuffle my music, all I have to do is give the nano a quick shake and my music is re-randomized.
The accelerometer feature is great for the downloadable games as well giving a Wii-esk vibe to the new iPod nano. But that isn’t all, the new nano will also sync with your calendar and contacts list along with the standard issues such as your music library, photo gallery, movies, and more. The only feature missing that I would want to see in gen 5 is an FM tuner.

Looks like at least for the time being, Windows will be the only platform for Google Chrome, but be rest assured Mac and Linux will soon follow.
iPhone SDK is being opened to more developers
13.07.2008, 07:11
According to several developers, the iPhone SDK is being opened up to more developers. Originally around 25,000 developers applied to gain access to the SDK, but only around 4,000 were granted access. It seems that more are now being given access.

Some thoughts on new cell phones.
07.12.2007, 19:34
This is the age of communications and
cellphone is most common electronic communication device seen today. Cell phones have come through some great advancements of technology. Many manufacturers and vendors are trying to produce cutting edge piece technology. For instance converged devices are focus of
motorola cell phone advancements. Whereas different enhanced application like camera and TV over IP are integrated in
samsung cell phone . On the other hand
nextel cell phones are coming hard after moving over CDMA and with its G4 network.
BREAKING::: iPhone to go 3G next year.
29.11.2007, 22:24
Finally fast 3G support coming to iPhone in 2008. One major concern with the 3G support is that the chipsets which support 3G use much more power than the 2.5G chipsets thereby reducing the battery life of the iPhone. Also 3G chipsets are much more expensive than 2.5G chipsets so the $599 iPhone is likely to be back soon. More information coming soon.
iPhones, iPods in low supply.
21.11.2007, 00:35
I have a friend who runs a
laser engraving company . He is reporting that many of his customers who are trying to order iPhones and iPods are being limited by apple to only 5 devices per day. Bulk orders are seemingly being rejected by apple. This isn’t Apple insider information or a report from a purchasing director at a large retail store, simply an observation. Why else would Apple be limiting the rate at which its products are purchased?
Greenpeace says iPhone contains hazardous materials. And.
16.10.2007, 04:10
According to the infamous environmental group Greenpeace, "If Apple really wants to reinvent the phone, it needs to design out ALL hazardous substances and materials from its handsets and peripherals” (Greenpeace). So what Greenpeace is really saying is that they dislike technology. All cellular phones and for that matter nearly every piece of electronic equipment contains some hazardous substances.
From my research, I have found that Apple is one of the good guys. They recycle more computers than nearly any other computer manufacturer. They actively encourage their customers to recycle their computers and handsets. Furthermore, Apple has committed itself to using less of the toxic materiels that Greenpeace has particular problems with including chlorinated plastic polyvinyl chloride and "brominated flame retardants". Presumably this material was added to the iPhone to ensure that when a lithium battery inside of an iPhone fails, that the phone does not burst into flames thereby preventing the possibility of maiming of the user or worse.
If Greenpeace really wants to make a dent on the environment maybe they should open a line of Greenpeace PC and Electronic Recycling stores. Or if that is to much to ask, maybe Greenpeace could get the word out that all electronics contain what they would consider hazardous materials and should be disposed of at a facility capable of properly recycling and disposing/neutralizing such materials.
So Greenpeace, butt out of Apple’s business. They along with Dell are one of the good guys in pioneering the use of environmentally friendly materials and more importantly in pioneering environmentally friendly practices such as PC recycling.
Iphone runs into trouble in France
08.10.2007, 17:41
APPLE has made a bit of an error when the trying to flog its Iphone in France.
According to French newspapers, Jobs' Mob forgot that it is harder to screw over consumers in the EU in the same way it can in the United States.
Although Apple says it has a deal with Orange, negotiations with the French telco are running aground because they do not want the same bizarre lock-ins which have been seen over the pond.
French consumer laws specifically prohibit the dependent sale of a product and a service which means that Orange will have to sell the Iphone with and without subscription. Apple is not happy with that and, since it has refused to let Orange flog a subsidised Iphone as part of a package, there is little reason for anyone to sign up for an Orange deal.
Orange insists that it has got a contract signed and there is a chance that it will be able to flog the Iphone before Christmas. However Apple is not happy about the way that things are going.
France could be the only place in the world where the Iphone has to be sold unlocked and some Apple executives think this is a bad idea.
There is a badly translated version of the French press stories

Nokia launches anti-iPhone campaign amid controversy
02.10.2007, 20:32
Bloggers and hackers aren't the only ones sticking it to iPhone maker Apple Inc. for its closed minded approach to user-customization of the touch-screen handsets -- Nokia has taken advantage of the situation by launching a print and web campaign dubbed "Open to anything."
"We believe the best devices have no limits. That's why we've left the Nokia Nseries open," the Finland-based handset maker wrote on its new "Open to anything" website. "Open to applications. Open to widgets. Open to anything. So go ahead and load it up. What it does is up to you."
The campaign, which was accompanied by the posting of similarly-worded bills in New York City this past weekend, is an obvious response to the latest iPhone update on Thursday. As Apple had warned, the software patch disabled versions of the Apple handset that had been "unlocked" to operate on wireless carries other than AT&T, while adding a couple of new features like the Wi-Fi iTunes Music Store.
In addition, however, the update wreaked havoc on a number unmodified iPhones and those iPhones which had been only modified to run third-party software applications but had otherwise remained locked to the Apple-approved carrier. Users who reached out to Apple for help in reactivating those phones were turned away (video) in the same manner as those users who had unlocked the devices against Apple's stated policy.
The Cupertino-based firm's harsh stance was met with considerable outrage because, unlike unlocking, users who had installed third-party applications simply to increase the usefulness of their pricey handsets -- in addition to those who had done nothing at all -- were suddenly being informed that they had voided their warranty on the handset as a whole and were on their own in attempting to somehow reactivate those phones.
The matter is complicated by a number of factors, primarily what is now being perceived by some as a poor job on Apple's part to convey its stance on third-party applications to iPhone users earlier in the handset's lifecycle. Recent comments from an Apple executive even made it appear as if the company was taking an indifferent stance to the development and installation such third-party apps. Additionally, Apple's public warning seemed only to target unlockers rather than those installing applications.
What's more, third-party iPhone apps and simple point-and-click applications to easily install them had become as commonplace on the Internet in recent weeks as shareware applications. Therefore, some iPhone owners may have used such applications without a full understanding of the consequences.
As a result of these and other gripes with Apple's iPhone policies, users are now banding together in an attempt to drum up support for a class-action lawsuit against the company under three theoretical classes.
The first class would contain iPhone owners who have used third-party software to access the flash storage on an iPhone, without having altered firmware or installed a program on the device. A second would include owners who had installed third-party apps in the past, but who have since restored their phones to factory defaults but are still suffering from hardware problems such as bad touchscreens.
A third and final class would challenge the whole unlocking issues, which is reportedly legal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act but discouraged by Apple, which states on the iPhone's packaging and marketing material that an AT&T contract is required for usage.
In the meantime, the whole iPhone mess is garnering national recognition from the the mainstream media and slowly snowballing into a public relations nightmare for Apple. The New York Times recently ran a piece that quotes Apple spokesperson Jennifer Bowcock as saying those iPhone owners who are experiencing problems following the recent iPhone update should "purchase a new iPhone." And overseas, the Guardian syndicated Gizmodo's updated recommendation to its readers, which is "Don't Buy" an iPhone:
"Screw the unlock for a second. Let's talk about the those third-party apps," wrote Brian Lam, an editor at the widely read and Apple "approved" gadget blog. "While my 4GB iPhone is a brick, and the 8GB phone, which I kept on a totally legit AT&T contract, is now stripped down. Programs like the faux-GPS, IM clients, Flickr Upload, and NES emulator -- what did they ever do but make the iPhone far better than the stock original? They made it far more competitive with open-platform superphones like the Nokia N95, to which I will now be switching."
While Apple likely mulls a response, Nokia and other would-be rivals are sure to be having a field day with this one.
Did your iPhone turn into an iBrick? Many hacked iPhones have.

The iPhone V1.1.1 update, which shipped Thursday, is a giant patch, fixing issues with its mail service, Bluetooth and seven bugs in Safari.
By Sharon Gaudin
InformationWeek
September 28, 2007 10:09 AM
Apple came out with an iPhone software update on Thursday that patches 10 security bugs that could enable a hacker to remotely execute malicious code, reveal e-mail credentials or even make a call without the user's consent. In some cases, however, where the user has tinkered with the guts of the iPhone, the software update has rendered the phone unusable.
The update -- iPhone V1.1.1 -- patches one bug in Bluetooth, two in the device's mail service, and seven in its Safari browser. The U.S.-CERT is "strongly encouraging" users to review the advisory and follow best practices in determining what updates should be applied.
The fixes come out amid a lot of brouhaha in the research and hacker communities about software for sale that would enable the smartphone to work on any service provider with a standard GSM SIM card. Just this past Monday, though, Apple warned users that unlocking the programs used to connect the device to cellular networks other than AT&T (NYSE: T)'s causes "irreparable damage." The company also warned that the modifications would probably cause the iPhone to be inoperable when the updates were released.
It's not yet clear what the total affect will be from the fixes on unlocked devices, though reports are surfacing online that the update has disabled at least some unlocked iPhones. It's being reported on Gizmodo that the software update may make unlocked iPhones unusable.
"For those who have "unlocked" their iPhones, there were stories in the press over the last week that a future update would turn the unlocked iPhones into expensive paperweights," wrote Jim Clausing, a handler with the Internet Storm Center, on their daily blog. "It is unclear at present if this update is the one that does it or not (probably not based on the descriptions of the updates included)."
Cell Phones Increase the Risk of Two Types of Brain Tumor According to Study
26.09.2007, 21:29
Using mobile phones for more than 10 years gives a consistent pattern of increased risk for at least two different types of brain tumors. This was the conclusion of a summary that reviewed sixteen other research studies from seven countries – USA, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan.(1)
Cell Phones Are Like Radios
Cell phones are more like radios than traditional telephones in your home. They emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-by mode. Using a cell phone can place the radiation antenna close to the user’s brain and this can lead to the absorption of comparatively large amounts of electromagnetic energy.
There has been an on-going debate about the safety of cell phones for many years. While, not surprisingly, the cell phone industry and various health authorities have assured users that the technology is safe, recent research has suggested otherwise.
Researchers at the Department of Oncology, University Hospital in Sweden reviewed sixteen published studies that looked at cell phone use and the rate of brain cancers. They concluded that:
“For both acoustic neuroma and glioma (two types of brain cancer), overall risk was increased in the whole group, but significantly increased for ipsilateral exposure (tumor on the same side of the brain as cell phone exposure)…These results are certainly of biological relevance, as the highest risk was found for tumors in the most exposed area of the brain, using a latency period that is relevant in carcinogenesis.”
Increased Risk of Acoustic Neuromas
Acoustic neuromas, also called schwannomas, are a non-cancerous tumor that develops on the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. The tumor usually grows slowly. As it grows, it presses against the nerves responsible for hearing and balance. Radiosurgery is usually the standard treatment.
Signs and symptoms of acoustic neuromas may include hearing loss, usually gradual — although in some cases sudden — and occurring on only one side or more pronounced on one side, ringing (tinnitus) in the affected ear, dizziness (vertigo), loss of balance, facial numbness and tingling. The tumor also may press on the brainstem and in rare cases, it may grow large enough to compress the brainstem and be life-threatening.
After reviewing the previous studies that looked at cell phone usage and neuromas, the authors found “an association with acoustic neuroma…in four studies in the group with at least 10 years use of a mobile phone.”
Their discussion of this issue included the following observations:
• Acoustic neuroma might be a “signal” tumor type for increased brain tumor risk from microwave exposure, as it is located in an anatomical area that receives high exposure during calls with cellular or cordless phones.
• Three studies did not have follow-up of at least 10 years, but two of them showed a somewhat increased risk for shorter latency periods.
• Three of the four studies with data on over ten years use showed a statistically significantly increased risk overall or for ipsilateral exposure to microwaves. (In this context, ipsilateral exposure means the tumor is on the same side of the brain as cell phone exposure).
• In one study, no association was found but the result was based on only two cases.
• The tumors were significantly larger among mobile phone users.
Increased Risk of Gliomas
The researchers also found that the risk of glioma increased significantly per year of use.
A glioma is a type of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor that arises from glial cells. The most common site of involvement is the brain, but they can also affect the spinal cord or any other part of the CNS, such as the optic nerves. Gliomas can be either benign (slow growing) or malignant (fast growing). Types of gliomas include:
• astrocytomas
• ependymomas
• oligodendrogliomas
• mixed gliomas
Treatment for a glioma — and survival odds — depends on tumor type, size and location, and the patient’s age and overall health. Often, treatment is a combined approach, using surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. High grade gliomas like anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastoma multiforme can be particularly difficult to treat.
Symptoms of gliomas depend on which part of the central nervous system is affected. A brain glioma can cause headaches, nausea and vomiting, seizures, and cranial nerve disorders as a result of increased intracranial pressure. A glioma of the optic nerve can cause visual loss. Spinal cord gliomas can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the extremities.
In respect to gliomas and cell phones, the researchers concluded “that using a ten year or more latency period gives a consistent pattern of association between use of mobile phones and malignant brain tumors, especially high-grade glioma.” The researchers also found an increased overall risk more pronounced for ipsilateral use of the cell phone (tumor on the same side of the brain as cell phone exposure).
What to Do?
This study did not say that cell phone use leads to brain tumors, only that long-term use may increase one’s statistical risk of certain brain tumors. In addition, it should be noted, that other studies have concluded that there is no connection between cell phones and increased risk of cancer. This issue is far from resolved. But for those heavy cell-phone users who want to err on the side of caution, it may be wise to use one of the various non-RF devices (such as headphones) that can place some distance between a cell phone and the user’s brain.

Voiding iPhone warranties might break the law
26.09.2007, 18:29
APPLE'S VOW to void the warranties of Iphones that their owners have unlocked could land it in hot water, writes
Phone News .
The
US Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides protection for consumers that prohibits Apple from voiding an Iphone warranty due to third party modifications or enhancements.
However, if Apple can prove that its written Iphone warranty legally and specifically prohibits unlocking, or that the modification or enhancement of unlocking the Iphone has damaged the device, it might get away with disclaiming warranties on unlocked Iphones.
Cellphone manufacturers generally consider a successfully unlocked cellphone to retain its warranty, although a device that has been unlocked unsuccessfully can be considered to have a voided warranty if it can't be repaired by reflashing the firmware.
Further, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits Apple from disabling or damaging an Iphone merely because it can detect that it has been unlocked. It does seem to permit Apple to require that an unlocked Iphone be relocked to AT &T's service. However, other laws and regulations seem to prohibit this, too.
There are technical points of law involved here, so don't take our word for it. However, it seems almost certain that someone with a good telecommunications lawyer will seek to establish whether or not Apple can legally void the warranties of unlocked Iphones.
Running ANY Third Party Apps, Will Void Your Warranty!
25.09.2007, 15:29
You heard that the
new firmware bricks unlocked iphones ? Get this: Apple just confirmed to me that running any third-party app at all voids the warranty, and you won't be covered if your iPhone bricks for whatever reason. The reasoning is that Apple cannot distinguish between other third party apps and those that have been confirmed to combine with the new firmware to cause iPhone Brick-itus. (Apple specifically named iUnlock and the GUI version, AnySIM.) What I don't get is how is running an app on an OS X iPhone more dangerous than running third party apps on a Macbook running OS X? I don't know, I'm not a genius, I just play one in my diorama. I don't think there's a way to track use of unauthorized apps, so before you go in for service, restore your iPhone to a born again software virgin status. There you go, iPhone rebels playing with AppTapp--we are all bandits and too dirty for warranty.
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone's software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone's warranty.
Rumor: Could the iPhone be getting text, pic, and IM services?
24.09.2007, 18:09
Worse yet, will it cost you extra? Its looking like both might be answered with a yes. Maybe not though, depending on how you read the email, does it mean you have to purchase an extra messaging plan or is it referring to the data/messaging plan that already comes with the iPhone service plans?
A gentleman by the name of Jordan apparently received a txt message from AT&T informing him that his messaging package now included text, picture, and instant messages for the same price of $19.99 per month. It also added that no action was required, but that’s got to be wrong since that IM software isn’t going to get on the iPhone on its own.
This whole text message looks kind of fishy though, first the phone number is pretty weird, then the format of the whole text message is messed up. The first line goes from all caps with “AT&T FREE” to just the first character capitalized before it even reaches the colon signifying the end of the heading. Then there is a question mark at the end of “Good News” like as if more features without having to pay more money is ever going to be a bad thing? Anyways, like I said, its kind of fishy.
iPhone to include IM and picture messaging soon? [via BoingBoing]
Steve Jobs is AT&T Hacker, not against iPhone Hackers
24.09.2007, 18:01
Back in 1971, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak (founders of Apple Computer Inc.) went into business to build ‘Blue Boxes’. A device that allowed free illegitimate phone calls by faking the signals used by AT&T (Apple’s exclusive network carrier). In the picture, you can see Woz with a ‘Blue Box’.
From Wikipedia:
An early phreaking tool, the blue box is an electronic device that simulates a telephone operator’s dialing console. It functions by replicating the tones used to switch long-distance calls and using them to route the user’s own call, bypassing the normal switching mechanism. The most typical use of a blue box was to place free telephone calls - inversely, the Black Box enabled one to receive calls which were free to the caller. The blue box no longer works in most western nations, as modern switching systems are now digital and no longer use the in-band signaling which the blue box emulates. Instead, signaling occurs on an out-of-band channel which cannot be accessed from the line the caller is using (called Common Channel Interoffice Signaling (CCIS)).
The Apple Founders not only built those devices, but Steve Jobs also sold them to his fellow students at the University of California, Berkeley. Allegedly they demonstrate the product by making prank calls.
From Wikipedia:
Some of the more famous pranksters were Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, founders of Apple Computer. On one occasion Wozniak dialed Vatican City and identified himself as Henry Kissinger (imitating Kissinger’s German accent) and asked to speak to the Pope (who was sleeping at the time).
Blue boxes were not just the domain of “pranksters” and “explorers”; others (such as the Mafia) used blue boxes solely to make free phone calls for criminal purposes.
Steve Jobs is a true visionary, he is the man who sees the future. Why would he go behind his fellow hackers to stop them from unlocking iPhone? Evidently, iPhone unlocking is in Apple’s interest.
Apple’s core business is hardware and it relies on the sales of its products. The iPhone is gateway for Apple like iPod, which will help them to increase in brand popularity and more hardware sales. Apple needed a carrier to launch iPhone and they signed up with AT&T with an undisclosed revenue sharing deal. The revenue generated from AT&T subscriptions won’t be a significant amount compared to the revenue from hardware sales.
It is AT&T who is more worried about iPhone hackers, not Apple. That’s why AT&T lawyers went knocking on the doors of iPhone hackers while Apple took a “neutral” stance on the unlocking issue. Unlocking a cell phone is legal and not a violation of laws.
Apple can’t stop anyone from unlocking any a cell phone. But, it is obliged to make iPhone as “unhackable” as possible because of the exclusivity deal with AT&T. At a recent Apple event in London, Jobs tactfully acknowledged with his statement “It’s a cat-and-mouse game”. It is evident that Apple is in the ‘mouse’ position in current scenario and they are ready with a new firm wire version which will lock the iPhones again to make AT&T and O2 happy.
We know there is no such thing as “unhackable”. Sooner or later, iPhone hackers will be able to hack and supply an upgrade version of their software to unlock the newer firm ware versions. The cat-and-mouse game will continue, customers with unlocked iPhones will be able to upgrade with the newer version of firm ware once the updated unlock solution comes out.
Virtual GPS Arrives for iPhone, via Navizon
20.09.2007, 15:19
When the iPhone first came out, one of the sought-after features for the device was a Global Positioning System service that could be used with the handset.
Since Apple has yet to provide one, third party outfits seem the way to go. Yesterday, software company
Navizon released its Virtual GPS software for the iPhone.
The software, which retails for US$24.99, triangulates signals from Wi-Fi access points and cellular towers to give the user their position. Users can
download the program's .zip file directly and add the application to their iPhone via
Installer.app , then connect to a Wi-Fi location and create a login.
From here, click the "Locate Me" button to allow the program to find you on the map. For best results, run the "Locate Me" function at least twice in order to have the Wi-Fi scanner become fully operational.
The program is distributed as trial-ware and will remain functional for 15 days before pushing the user to register it.
If you've tried the Virtual GPS program or have two cents to chip in regarding the iPhone and GPS, let us know in the comments.
Thanx to Rick Stenson of
Qualnetics for the tip
Replace your iPhone broken/cracked screen on the CHEAP!
20.09.2007, 15:12
That’s right, for $5, maybe less depending on what you have handy, you can replace your iPhone’s busted screen. It won’t work if you puncture far enough through your phone to actually break the LCD, but it it’s just the glass, read on.
The parts list is a 1/32-inch thick piece of plexi-glass, transparent plastic, something of that nature, a razor blade, Dremel, scissors, and Goo Gone. Eye protection is also recommended, but that’s probably only for the part where you use the Dremel.
Use the razor blade to scrap off the remnants of the previous glass screen, cut out the plastic to fit, use paint or a Sharpie to black out the areas that are supposed to be black, use the Goo Gone to remove the left over glue on the LCD screen, then affix the new plastic cover. Word is the touchscreen still works just like it should, and unless someone gets up close, they can’t tell the difference.
The Family-Friendly iPhone
19.09.2007, 13:55
My son is an iPhone genius.
He's not yet three but can already tap the phone's touch screen well enough to play his "Dora the Explorer," "Little Einsteins" and "Sesame Street" videos.
"I do it myself, Daddy," he says before settling into his car seat and firing up the phone's video iPod for a car ride.
Making road trips more enjoyable for him was a surprising iPhone perk. So was not having to buy a DVD player for the family car.
Shaping Up the Competition Techies were bound to love Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL) first smart phone, but it's far more than just another pretty handheld package. After nearly three months, I've found that the iPhone and the tech innovations it introduces to the market are packed with features that make family life simpler and even safer.
Still, even with the recent US$200 price cut, the iPhone costs $400. That's a big bite into any family budget .
The price cut is unprecedented for Apple, coming less than three months after the iPhone's release and fueling speculation of poor sales . Apple, however, announced it sold 1 million iPhones in the first 74 days. The iPod needed two years to sell that many.
Apple's new price puts the iPhone in the same cost range as Motorola's (NYSE: MOT) Razr2 and Palm's (Nasdaq: PALM) Treo. Cheaper iPhone models and/or competitor versions from Samsung , LG Electronics and Sony Ericsson should be out by the holidays.
The good news is that what the iPhone delivers now at that price will eventually become standard on new cell phones and handsets. It has even helped us save time and money here and there.
Dora Saves the Day My son almost couldn't believe Dora was in the palm of his tiny hand, the first time I downloaded the episode "Rojo, the Firetruck" from iTunes. It costs $2 per cartoon, but I was happily surprised to find out the "Sesame Street" TV shows were free. (When was the last time anyone gave a parent something so useful, for free?)
Suddenly long car and airplane rides seem less daunting.
However, the feature isn't the only family-friendly iPhone perk. Here are a few others:
Lost Dog I lost track of my five-year-old beagle, Chico, the other night. I spoil him, so that's why I let him play in front of the house without a leash and collar while I cleaned my car.
A scary thought flashed in my mind: You lost your dog.
Fortunately, there were plenty of recent photos of Chico in my iPhone.
I could use them to show neighbors or even make missing-dog posters, thanks to the built-in camera's high clarity.
Ten minutes passed, and Chico eventually poked his head out of some bushes.
However, the incident taught us another important feature of the iPhone: With the included USB cable, parents can instantly download photos of a lost child (or pet) that can be used by authorities and neighbors during an emergency search. I know for most parents it can be unnerving just to think about a lost child, but it's good to know iPhone photos would work well with police computers and the Amber Alert system, which displays photos of missing children on electronic, roadside billboards.
Convenient Camera The phone's high-quality camera also keeps us from missing unexpected moments for the family photo album when our digital camera isn't handy.
I really liked my old Razr cell phone, but its camera produced grainy pictures compared with iPhone's two-megapixel versions. The iPhone also syncs easily with home computers (PCs and Macs), and the image software is a breeze.
A Busy Parent's Best Friend The iPhone is handy for those unexpected moments. You can use it to take a photo of a car accident scene or even a crime in progress. The iPhone's Web browser will also let you quickly find the business name and location of nearby gas stations with the cheapest prices or check on local, up-to-the-minute traffic conditions.
Then there's the $50 I saved when I bought a computer back-up hard drive at a Radio Shack store after using my iPhone's Web browser, Safari, to check prices at other stores.
Can the iPhone make you a better parent? Not necessarily. However, it certainly can make you a better-prepared one.
For better or worse, it also introduced my young son to a cutting-edge tech world. Who can put a price tag on that?

First free, open, GUI iPhone unlock software tested: it works!
12.09.2007, 15:34
HaRRo over on the iPhone Dev Team has already upped the ante -- just hours after releasing the first free, open source iPhone SIM unlock software, he's already got an early beta version of the graphical one-click iPhone-based software cooking. We tested out an early build (sorry folks, it's not quite ready for release yet) and can confirm that despite the visual glitches you see above, it's already a fully functional one-click unlock solution, not different from IPSF's paid unlock software. Unfortunately, you still have to actually get the app onto the phone and go through the faux-activation process with your SIM afterward (and re-enable YouTube, if you so choose), but this is the first major step in automating the process of quickly and easily unlocking everybody's iPhone. More information -- including the final build of the GUI unlock -- will be posted as it comes to HaRRo's iPhone unlock site (hit the read link).
Skype on your iPod touch?
11.09.2007, 15:08
Could VoIP on Apple’s new kit take on the might of the iPhone? 
The idea first surfaced over on Apple Gazette, where bloggers have suggested that, thanks to the inbuilt Safari browser, you’ll be able to get Skype going on the touchscreen jukebox when it arrives in the next few weeks.
Potentially, this could give tech savvy punters the choice between laying out on a hallowed iPhone or simply hacking their music machine into a web-friendly mobile.
This is all reliant on the mic-toting iPhone headphones working with the iPod Touch however. And we’re betting that Apple’s already thought of this sneaky loophole and found a way round it.
Still, that kind of behaviour hasn’t stopped hackers freeing the iPhone from its pesky chains. We’ll be on the prowl for any news, so be sure to keep it here at iPhiend.
Hidden Feature Makes iPodtouch and iPhone Physical Storage Limitations (a bit) Obsolete
11.09.2007, 15:02
The iPodtouch's physical storage limitation of 16GB enraged a lot of people. Why? Most were worried that they wouldn't be able to store much of the video that they wanted to watch on their beautiful new 480x320 screens. However, Apple allows you to play movies over the net. Don't believe us? Point your iPhone/iPodtouch browser over to:
http://www.apple.com/trailers/iphone Yep. Links to Quicktime movies. Full 480x320. Full stereo sound and amazing video clarity. They also start up right away and play fully without having to catch up if you are on relatively speedy Wifi enabled Internet connection.
So what is stopping us from taking our incredibly diverse .mp4 movie collection and putting it on the web? Not much really.
Just point your Web Server directory to the folder that has your media files. No index.html page necessary - just enable directory listing on the webserver and allow the web browser to open the mp4 files. Now we have an iPod with 2TB of storage.
Technically, this can be done with music files and audiobooks as well. Anything that is read by Quicktime/iTunes should be compatible. Perhaps Apple should run with this on a Airport Extreme update? This functionality would be really easy to build in and make simple for the masses.
As long as we are near some Wifi - which isn't that infrequent! Now Bring on the 3G iPhones!
First iPhone Unlock License Sold Works but Shows Problems [UPDATED]
11.09.2007, 14:45
The first free iPhone unlock software has been sold and successfully installed today by Mr Paul Taylor, from the UK. Giz was there as an exclusive witness, but when things went very wrong —and the process failed repeatedly giving a “baseband communication error”— I jumped in to help. After some troubleshooting we identified the problem —and I am afraid that it could mean that the software unlock may not work with all SIM configurations. [Updated Sept. 11, 02:52AM EST: iPod Sim Free has issued an application update to fix the problem we discovered during unlocking. Jump to see their statement.]
Nobody has told you this yet, but as I discovered, not everyone would be able to apply the iPhone Sim Free patch to unlock the iPhone. The key seems to be in the SIM card’s PIN. If you can disable it, everything seems ok to go. But if you can’t, it looks like you should have to forget about the iPhone Sim Free software for now.
As I was able to see today, the customer experience to unlock an iPhone is not pretty. In fact, it could be absolutely awful because most final users don’t know anything about SSH, SFTP or the Terminal. If you already have your iPhone jailbreaked using a software like iFuntastic for Mac (current version doesn’t work with iTunes 7.4) or iBrickr for Windows, installing the application will be a breeze: just drag and drop it inside the Applications folder inside your iPhone.
However, starting at 3:25PM EST I watched as Sasha Vatoff, from the australian iPhone Sim Free reseller, tried to guide customers Paul Taylor and Philipp Meier through the whole installation process. They were going to be the first final customers ever to unlock the iPhone. No journalists, just normal consumers. So early in the game, I had to jump in to help them install the software because iFuntastic wouldn’t work with Phil’s iTunes 7.4 and Paul’s iFuntastic didn’t work at all. That required going through installing SSH and moving the iPhone Sim Free app using Secure FTP.
All looked ok, but when the application was finally in the iPhone, both Paul and Phil tried the unlock and it failed. Baseband communication error, the iPhone spat everytime. They restored their iPhones a couple of times because it simply didn’t work and the thin iPhone Sim Free “documentation” recommended a full iTunes restore after a baseband communication error.
Around 7PM EST the situation was absolutely desperate. Sasha, the reseller, was lost at this point. The poor guy didn’t know what to do next and the iPhone Sim Free people told him they “weren’t going to publish further information.” Basically, they said they released the software but the “support” was the reseller responsibility, which makes sense. However, Sasha was expecting more support from them. Instead, all he got was a call from a VoIP line with terrible sound, every two words being lost in cyberspace.
Without knowing what to do, he kept asking me for opinions. What to do? Should I send the program to my customers right away and let them figure it out? People were getting nervous. My only answer was to try it: “Send it to your clients and see if anyone has more luck that these two.”
Still, I was refusing to believe that it didn’t work so I asked him if he wanted me to try it.
It worked.
After a few minutes, I had my iPhone unlocked. I couldn’t understand why. Jason didn’t have any problems, just like me. There had to be something else. And then, like if The Steve appeared from the heavens to illuminate me: boom! There it was, a revelation: I asked Jason if he had a pin when he tried the unlock. “No, I don’t think I had” he said.
It was a good shot:
MSN conversation with Paul and Sasha [Timestamps are in Madrid GMT+1 time, so this starts at 7:40:22 PM EST]Jesus says: (1:40:22 AM)
dude
Jesus says: (1:40:28 AM)
does your sim card have a pin? (at the same time, I was asking Phil the same and he said “yes”)
Paul (r) says: (1:40:32 AM)
yes
Jesus says: (1:40:36 AM)
take it off
Paul (r) says: (1:41:12 AM)
anything is worth a try
Jesus says: (1:41:21 AM)
Phil has a pin lock too
Jesus says: (1:41:24 AM)
I don’t
Jesus says: (1:41:26 AM)
maybe that’s the trick
Paul (r) says: (1:42:45 AM)
here goes nothing
Jesus says: (1:44:06 AM)
have you deactivated the pin?
Paul (r) says: (1:44:13 AM)
yep
Paul (r) says: (1:44:31 AM)
ran IPSF
Paul (r) says: (1:44:39 AM)
it said already unlocked (no error this time)
Paul (r) says: (1:44:45 AM)
now back at front screen
Paul (r) says: (1:45:06 AM)
“incorrect SIM connect to iTunes to activate”
Paul (r) says: (1:45:09 AM)
and no service
Paul (r) says: (1:45:35 AM)
Hold on a second…
Paul (r) says: (1:45:41 AM)
When I press the phone button
Paul (r) says: (1:45:43 AM)
and go to my contacts
Paul (r) says: (1:45:49 AM)
My number shows up at the top
Jesus says: (1:45:55 AM)
dude
Jesus says: (1:45:57 AM)
stop it
Jesus says: (1:46:10 AM)
you have to finish the process
Jesus says: (1:46:14 AM)
go to independence
Jesus says: (1:46:20 AM)
and activate again
Paul (r) says: (1:46:20 AM)
what process
Jesus says: (1:46:28 AM)
you have to activate
Jesus says: (1:46:33 AM)
like if it was AT&T
Jesus says: (1:46:38 AM)
but with the new sim
Sasha says: (1:47:14 AM)
so
Paul (r) says: (1:47:17 AM)
ok
Sasha says: (1:47:19 AM)
it works
Paul (r) says: (1:47:39 AM)
not yet
Paul (r) says: (1:47:45 AM)
have gone into independence
Paul (r) says: (1:47:52 AM)
activation suceeded
Paul (r) says: (1:47:57 AM)
rebooting
Paul (r) says: (1:48:20 AM)
incorrect sim please connect to itunes to reactivate phone
Jesus says: (1:48:29 AM)
activate with independence
Jesus says: (1:48:53 AM)
put pem file
Paul (r) says: (1:50:19 AM)
we’re back to failed activation
Jesus says: (1:50:29 AM)
quit independence
Jesus says: (1:50:33 AM)
then put PEM file
Jesus says: (1:50:39 AM)
then activate
Paul (r) says: (1:51:09 AM)
IT FUCKING WORKED
Jesus says: (1:51:14 AM)
yep
After a few “Jesus I love you! Jesus I love you! You are a genius!” from Paul and Sasha —the first ecstatic about his newly-unlocked iPhone and the later obviously breathing again after almost collapsing from a heart attack— Paul did a test call and everything was fine. The photo above is his phone, working on the Virgin network in the UK.
So as you can see, the secret is pretty easy: before unlocking the iPhone, you must disable the PIN in the SIM card using another phone.
The problem now is that some SIM cards don’t have the option to disable the PIN security. This was the case of Phil, whose German SIM’s security can’t be disabled. Now he was to wait for an update that may come sooner or later. Or may not come at all. There may be another solutions, but at the time of this writing, we couldn’t work out what these may be.
Right now we still don’t know what are the technical problems that this may pose for the iPhone Sim Free people (at the moment of this writing, we still haven’t heard from them but we expect to have official word soon.)
Until that fix comes, the iPhone Sim Free software solution works, but only it seems to work for certain people. Those whose SIM cards can have a “disabled PIN.” In other words: for now, the only universal solution are still the TurboSIM solution, which doesn’t break your warranty. or the hardware unlock.
So either those users wait for a solution or, hopefully, the iPhone Dev Team will be able to work it out in the free unlock. I know for a fact that the “Rebel Alliance” is frantically working on it and they now need your moral and economical support more than ever.
[UPDATE: If you were thinking about participating in our iPhone Sim Free license give-away contest, make sure to check your SIM card doesn’t have obligatory PIN security.]
[Updated Sept. 11, 02:52AM EST: iPod Sim Free has issued an application update to fix the problem we discovered during unlocking. Good to see they react so quickly.]
iPhone Sim Free Statement It has been brought to our attention mainly through this article [the article you are reading now] that there was a small bug in our code. This bug has now been resolved we will be forwarding the new simfree.app to all our currently registered resellers. All new resellers will automatically receive the updated version. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Jesus Diaz for discovering this bug and reporting it through his site. As well as apologize to the select few who encountered this problem.The bug has been confirmed to be related to whether or not the SIM card is pin locked or not, it has now been resolved. AND OUR SOLUTION IS UNIVERSAL.
Further to this, we will be updating our simple tutorial, to include the following:
IMPORTANT !
PLEASE ENSURE YOUR PHONE IS FULLY CHARGED AND YOUR “Auto-Lock” SETTING (in Settings/General) is set to NEVER for the duration of the unlock process. You may change it back once the application is finished.

American Express will honor price protection plan for iPhone
09.09.2007, 03:30
American Express is not an Apple Fanboy anymore:
Gizmodo says they called American Express to have a $200 refund because of the iPhone price drop and the company confirmed that they will honor the price protection plan. This will cost a fortune to American Express or the insurance company behind the protection plan. Other credit card companies are also offering the same plan. Don't hesitate to call them!
New iPods do component video out! iPhone apparently will too!
08.09.2007, 17:17
Leave it to Apple to glaze over yet another cool feature of the new iPods and, if an updated product page is right, even the iPhone. Apparently the holiday-friendly gadgets support sending component video out with a new cable the Apple Store is selling. While the iPhone likely doesn't do this just yet, the feature could easily be included in the promised firmware update that will bring the iTunes WiFi Store before the month's end.
If you're wondering how Apple is pulling off component video with the
current cable , it apparently isn't. Reports are cropping up all over that there's a new cable, retailing at the same price, which plugs into iPods and iPhones via the 30-pin Dock connector, not the headphone jack anymore. Things get even stranger on that product page, however, as it notes component video output is supported only by the 3G iPod nano, iPod classic, and iPod touch (480p or 576p for the former two, only 480i or 576i from the iPod touch for some reason), but the small icon legend just below that lists the iPhone in addition to the three new iPods.
For fellow iPhone owners, one can only hope that firmware update truly allows us to join the video-on-TV party.
iPhone Software Unlock Company iPhoneSIMFree Has Been Acquired

After numerous delays and problems with releasing their software unlock,
iPhoneSIMfree has apparently been acquired by an unknown company before even delivering their software. According to an anonymous email tip, iPhoneSIMFree has yet to deliver their software, but has apparently straightened everything out and is in the process of delivering their unlock software, now that their acquisition has transitioned. Here is the email sent to purchasers of the software:

Apple cuts 8GB iPhone price to $399
05.09.2007, 22:13
With the new heat the iPhone will be getting from the iPod Touch, Apple decided to lower the barrier of entry to a much more palatable $399, and that's for the 8GB model, which just yesterday was rocking at $599 pricepoint. It also looks like Apple is doing away with the 4GB version, which was seriously lagging behind its big brother in sales, but there's no official word yet.
Third Class Action Suit Emerges Over iPhone Battery Replacements
05.09.2007, 15:31
A third class action law suit regarding the iPhone battery has emerged. The new case, filed by a Mr. and Mrs. Stiener, cite that the battery in the iPhone will only last for 300 cycles before being completely exhausting. According to the complain, the battery would cost US$115 to replace as well as the time necessary to wait for a replacement.
The couple alleges that by not placing a warning about this apparent limitation in or on its packing materials, Apple and wireless carrier AT&T have violated both good faith and the California Commercial code, which demands that manufacturers in the state honestly reflect how their products will perform in real-world conditions. The Stieners have gone on record to state that the two companies responsible for the iPhone and its service meant to defraud customers.
According to
The iPodObserver , the nine-page argument that the case is using as its central core is being written by the Hoffman and Lazear as well as Folkenflik and McGerity law firms. Both of these firms handled a similar suit regarding the iPhone battery in mid-August. If found guilty, Apple and AT&T would be forced to pay restitution to any affected customer in the state of California.

Leaked Images of New 3rd Gen iPod nano?
03.09.2007, 13:48
We just got a couple of images sent to us from an anonymous source who claims that this is the new iPod nano that we can expect Steve Jobs to announce at the Apple Special Event taking place this Wednesday, September 5th. Since we’ve seen so many photoshop mockups floating around the Internet recently, we are not saying these are the real deal by any stretch of the imagination - however, we love how these look, and a guy can dream, can’t he?
I guess we will see how it all pans out on Wednesday.
Dock: The iPhone hack which enables scrolling on iPhone's home screen
02.09.2007, 15:20
With the flurry of iPhone hacks and applications since iPhone's launch; the real estate on iPhone's home screen has got that much more precious. Until now iPhone users have been limited to just 16 applications on the iPhone home screen.
This is all set to change thanks to the latest iPhone hack from Natetrue, the hacking genius. The hack called "Dock" brings scrolling to the home screen so you longer have to worry about the 16 application limit.
As a workaround to this 16 application limit on iPhone's home screen (also called the Springboard); we had seen launcher applications that search for additional applications and let you choose one from a list. bitSplit has tried to this in the latest version of iFuntastic v3.03 by providing users the capability of having multiple home screens rather than being limited to only one with different applications on each of the home screens then NateTrue seems to have come with an even better iPhone-like solution.
The latest iPhone hack called "Dock" loads the applications on your iPhone into a single list which appears as the bottom row of icons on the home screen. So all you need to do to access all those cool new iPhone hacks or iPhone applications is to use your finger to scroll this bottom row of icons in the horizontal direction right or left and just tap the application you want to launch by tapping on the application icon.
It is still early days for the hack and as you would expect slightly buggy but Erica Sudan from Tuaw has checked it out and says "it works fabulously". To install the hack, you will need to use
new (Windows) or
Breezy (Macintosh Universal Binary) to load the
Dock package on your iPhone.
The source code of the hack is also available, so feel free to check it out at this
link. It seems to work really well
LG ready with iPhone rival with 3G?
01.09.2007, 15:17
LG electronics is ready with its iPhone rival LG-KS20. It is 3G enables and uses WCDMA unlike Apple's iPhone. The operating system is Windows mobile 6.0? Other features are WiFi, mp3 player, 2.0 megapixel camera and bluetooth almost iPhone similar features.
LG Electronics Inc.'s battle to beat the iPhone is far from over. The South Korean electronics company has unveiled its second iPhone-like handset and this one packs several important features the iPhone doesn't: 3G and high-speed cellular data networking.
The LG-KS20 bears a strong resemblance to the iPhone thanks to a shiny front-face that is devoid of almost all buttons.
The phone is compatible with 3G WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks, the 3G standard being deployed by most operators around the world. That means it will work in countries like Japan and South Korea, where the iPhone won't at present.
It also means faster data networking. WCDMA supports speeds of around 384k bps (bits per second) in its basic version and the LG phone will also work on networks that have been upgraded with HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) data networking at speeds up to 3.6M bps. That's significantly faster than the EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) data network on which the iPhone operates.
Like the iPhone the LG handset also packs Wi-Fi.
Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and an MP3 music player. It's 12.6 millimeters thick, which makes it about a millimeter thicker than the iPhone.
However the LG handset is missing one feature that some customers will consider of utmost importance: Apple's OS X operating system. The LG handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 and despite advances from previous editions the software is still often criticized for being harder to use and clunkier than the Apple operating system.
The LG-KS20 is getting its unveiling at the IFA electronics show in Germany this week.
Earlier this year LG unveiled its first iPhone-like cell phone. The handset was developed with fashion house Prada and went on sale in Europe and Asia earlier this year at a premium price. The company hasn't revealed the price of the LG-KS20 but it should hit Europe in the fourth quarter of this year.
User's iPhone Explodes During Unlocking Effort
31.08.2007, 14:30
Whether you feel it's right or not, successful iPhone hardware hacks have been reported around the world. Some of these hacks have worked and the users seem pretty happy with the results.
Others have backfired and caused damage that's nothing less than impossible to explain to the nice person behind the Genius Bar as accidental or the dog's fault (such as the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth now refusing to work or the iPhone itself refusing to power up).
In one reported instance, a more severe example has arisen.
A relatively anonymous post to the
Hackintosh forums provided this comment and showed this picture:
“We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening the iphone. The antenna cover was a bit tricky but eventually it came off. Then we started to open the metal cover (after taking out the 3 screws) and PUFF, up it went in smoke, I think my collegue must have touched something. It literally went up in black smoke. It was so hot that when I tried to pick it up I burnt my fingers. So, this is for sure the most difficult part of the whole process. I don’t know what he did, as I had just stepped out of the room to fetch something when I heard a scream…they got such a fright.”
Although the iPhone is severely cool, there are certain proticals to follow when opening it up and trying to modify it: as in, be extremely careful, follow the directions and if you find US$499/US$599 wafting to the ceiling in the form of black smoke, try to have a sense of humor about it after the fact.
