Possible 2010 iPhone graphics processor upgrade?

PowerVR, maker of the graphics processor in the iPhone, just announced an update to the same line of graphics processors.  It would be easy to speculate then, that the 2010 iPhone could possibly contain this chip upgrade. The new chip is the PowerVR SGX545, and it adds FULL support for DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.2, and OpenCL [...]

Very possibly the coolest thing you can do with your iPhone

Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of cool flatulence apps out there (yes, that was sarcasm….), but none of them could ever be as cool as this: It’s not released yet, but the date on their website shows 2010 as the release date, so hopefully sometime this year.  They also have pictures of some [...]

Save the date! Apple Tablet announcement + more

January 27th is the day you’ve all been waiting for!  Apple should then be announcing their Apple Tablet and possibly the iPhone 4.0 SDK and/or Tablet SDK (I’m guessing that the tablet and iPhone SDKs won’t be that much different, but I could be wrong).  I would assume that a tablet would be [...]

iPhone Tethering speeds are impressive!

I’m sitting in a Starbucks in Mill Creek, WA right now and I’m still amazed out how great and convenient having a tethered iPhone is. I’ve been hanging out at Starbucks a lot more lately in an effort to beat the heat (they’ve all got great A/C). I live on the top floor of my [...]

Stop calling every new phone an “iPhone Killer!”

Really.  It’s getting old.  Especially when you use it as a tactic to get people to read your article, only to find out that the iPhone “Killer” is actually a piece of junk.  If it’s not even close don’t even mention it as a possible contender. Actually.  Even if the phone WAS technically better than the [...]

iPhone 3G S Jailbreak possible

The iPhone Dev Team just released word that it will be possible for them to jailbreak the iPhone 3G S. It’ll take some time to work these into our tools, but the fundamental weaknesses are there:  The bootrom is exploitable via 24Kpwn, and the baseband is exploitable via ultrasn0w. They’ll be able to jailbreak it, but it [...]

Apple appologizes for activation delays with gift certificates

Looks like Apple is giving $30 iTunes gift certificates to the people that bought the iPhone 3G S and weren’t able to activate their phones for a couple days due to activation server delays.  They’ll be sending you an email if they found that you were affected by the server delays.  Take a look.

Jailbreak tutorial for iPhone 3G: 3.0 OS

A cool iPhone 3G S design

This is a well done design idea for the iPhone 3G that was released well before the announcement that the externals of the iPhone were not going to have any design refresh.  I really Apple would have done something different to make the iPhone 3G S stand out, but maybe they’re holding off an external [...]

iPhone 3.0 software jailbroken | iPhone Dev Team

The iPhone Dev Team has (of course) already jailbroken the 3.0 software FOR IPHONE 3G USERS ONLY – NOT 3GS USERS.  They were able to hack the latest software so quickly because the beta version of the software was released many months ago, and they’ve had a chance to poke around.  Read their full post [...]

MMS | Tethering on iPhone 3.0

There are some great instructions over at TekNation for getting MMS and tethering to work on your iPhone.  The gist of it is: If you’re not interested in MMS, skip to step 3. If you’re interested in MMS you’re going to have to give AT&T a call to enable WAP Push on your device.  This typically isn’t [...]
