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…
Erica over at TUAW.com has done it again with the “Song Sender” app which allows you to navigate your iTunes music library on your iPhone and either set a song to be a ringtone or you can even send a song to a friend via email! You have to install the app via the secure…

Shaun has done an amazing job describing every step and linking all the necessary…
The inner fanboy won out and I acquired an iPhone this week. After getting to play with one last week at DemoCamp, I couldn’t resist any longer. So yes, I have an iPhone that I can’t use as a phone (yet)…in Canada at least. I’ll be using it fully as intended when I visit a…
I had originally planned to post about TiVo and other PVR options but this post is pretty long in just talking about my TiVo experiences so I’ll split the topic into a couple of posts. Stay tuned for future posts about using a PC based PVR solution as well as using an Xbox (the first…
