A friend pointed me (via Weblog Tools) to a very cool new plugin for WordPress called WPhone that lets you manage your site from your iPhone or iTouch. You simply download and unzip it, get it onto your site and activate it in the Admin console. Then just login with your Mobile Safari browser (make…
Engadget Mobile is reporting today that Virgin Mobile Canada is offering an unlimited data plan for $10 (aka the Tidal Wave Data Pak). Unfortunately, it appears to only work with a specific phone model and Virgin doesn’t use/support GSM (SIM cards) either so no iPhone use or laptop tethering….yet! At least it’s a huge step…
I figured it would be a good time to post an update on the current iPhone firmware and application status. First of all, if you don’t already have an iPhone, or if you have the 1.1.1 version firmware (the latest as of this post), then you probably won’t be able to unlock it to use…
Well, it didn’t take long for a free version of the software unlock for the iPhone to be released by the iPhone Dev Team. As I mentioned previously, it’s not for the those that are afraid of the command line but expect that to change as more people get their hands on the code in…
Via News1130.com: VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – It may be a while yet before Canadians get to use an iPhone. Rogers Communications has the only network in the country capable of supporting current iPhone technology, and says it still has no word from Apple for a release date here.

It seems pretty convincing that at least the software unlock application exists and it’s pretty straightforward to apply the unlock. Engadget also weighed in on this latest chapter although they seem to point out that this is a demo of…
Wow…what a bombshell this morning! The new ‘iDevices’ are pretty impressive….and the implications are pretty far reaching. The biggest thing for me was the price cut of the iPhone from $599 to $399 (USD) for the 8gb iPhone. This has to be one of the fastest price cuts in Apple history for a new product…
Still kinda sketchy and hard to tell since it was shot with a Nokia N95. Not exactly definitive proof but promising nonetheless. Check out the blog post from iphoneunlocking.com. Now if someone would just release/offer for sale the unlock….
Engadget broke the story early this morning that iphonesimfree.com had managed to develop a software only unlock method to allow you to use any carrier’s SIM card with the iPhone. Hopefully, it’s obvious that this is a big deal for a number of reasons: it will work with Roger’s or Fido in Canada you don’t…
Last week a new method of ‘unlocking’ the iPhone to use it with any mobile carrier emerged. Using something called a Turbo SIM (which costs $80US), it tricks the iPhone into thinking it’s using an AT&T sim card while actually using your sim card of choice. How does it do this? You need to trim…
