UPDATE: This post is now obsolete – see this one for the simple, easy method. I haven’t tried it yet but the iPhone forums seem to be abuzz with people successfully upgrading their iPhones to the latest firmware (1.1.3) and software unlocks still working. Thanks to Nate True, there is a software jailbreak method now…
The internets are all abuzz with news (and video proof) that the latest firmware for the iPhone (and Touch as seen in the video) has been jailbroken…but the method hasn’t been released yet. Nor will it until after the forthcoming software developers kit (SDK for those in the know) is released in late February from…
A friend sent word that you can now put a full linux desktop (KDE) on the Nokia N810 tablet. This was in an effort to convince me to buy an N810. Check out the video and screenshots and the how to. This is already a pretty sweet little device and this just makes it even…
…using a StealthSIM: A friend purchased an iPhone as a Christmas present for someone but since it was the 1.1.2 version firmware (purchased from an Apple store in early December), it couldn’t be unlocked via (currently available) software methods. So that someone got a really nice iPod under the tree. It was decided shortly after…
Gearlive.com as posted a video of the features of the upcoming firmware for the iPhone. Seems pretty legit to me and consistent with the rumored features. Some of the key features include: SMS to multiple recipients Google Maps upgraded to include hybrid view and cell tower triangulation to give you a sort-of GPS as well…
I get asked multiple times a day about getting an iPhone and using it in Canada. It was always fun to help friends unlock their iPhones. Until now. Ever since the 1.1.2 firmware made it’s appearance (around build week 45 for those keeping score), there hasn’t been a working software unlock for these phones. You…
Why don’t you skip (or postpone) your trip to the bar on Saturday night and head down to the Free Geek headquarters and hack your router. I’ve got a Linksys router that has been sitting in a box since I got my Airport Extreme and I’ve been meaning to hack it so come join the…
Erica’s at it again with a cool app for customizing your carrier name text on the go. She’s created “Make it mine” which let’s you change the text on the iPhone itself without having to hack any files. This is great for people like me that was annoyed with the “Rogers Wireless” carrier name that…
On Saturday, I attended the first MobileCamp Vancouver, held at Workspace which makes my second visit there in two days…if I didn’t already have an office, this is where I would set up shop. It really is a cool place. There was lots of things to talk about during the event – too many to…
Decided I couldn’t resist opening the little door on the back of the eeePC and upgrade the ram (now at 1gb from the stock 512mb) and the mini pci-e port. There was some debate as to whether or not the port would actually be there or not….appears to be in mine! Have pretty much decided…
