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 [...]

2010 iPhone to have 5 megapixel camera
Looks like the next generation of the iPhone that’s set to come out in 2010 might have a 5-megapixel camera. DigiTimes reported that OmniVision has secured the order for 5 megapixel CMOS image sensors to be delivered to Apple. They’re expecting to see sales of 40-45 million units.
The speculation currently says that these units are [...]
University of Washington spotlighted in Apple Hot News feed
If you subscribe to the Apple Hot News feed then you would have seen that the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) was spotlighted as a large connected campus with 14,000 handheld mobile devices on their wifi network, about 90% of which are iPhones.
“The community isn’t defined any longer by where we are,” says Grant Kollet, [...]
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 [...]
iPhone 3G S faster than iPhone 3G example video
The iPhone 3G S does feel faster doing just about everything (even just flipping through pages on the springboard). This video is a great comparison of the speed difference.
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
I just jailbroke my phone last night, but the experience was far from smooth. I jailbroke my phone 3 times, and the first 2 times my phone couldn’t get any service form AT&T. I’m posting this tutorial thread to help others overcome any of the same issues that I had.
Step 1
Download PwnageTool from the iPhone [...]

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 [...]
TweetDeck for the iPhone
The iPhone version of the popular Twitter client TweetDeck has got Twitter users abuzz due to it’s cool interface. I used it today and it was very responsive and fun to use. I hope to see more apps like this one that go outside the box when it comes to the user interface.
