The iPhone 3G and the Apple App Store has been out for a few weeks now so I figured it would be a good time to talk about what I’ve got on my iPhone and hopefully show you a few things you might want to check out yourself. First though, an annoyance I have about…
Buzz was kind enough to include a quote and a link to me regarding the recently released Pwnage software tool for the iPhone. Here’s what it looked like in today’s edition of 24hrs (PDF link): and a photo of the real thing: Here’s a link to Buzz’ blog post about it. I still think it’s…
The iPhone Dev Team just released their Pwnage tool for the 2.0 firmware (Mac only at this point). You may also need some bootloaders to create the customized restore file you’ll need in order to get your 1st gen iPhone onto the new firmware. The updated 2.0 firmware will give your old iPhone all the…
I was going to call this post “It’s been One Week…” but in light of the recent issues Barenaked Ladies frontman, Steven Paige is having, I decided to go for something else instead. I’m not going to do a ‘full’ review since that’s been done to death already. I thought I’d share some of my…
I’ve had my AppleTV for awhile now and it’s great at doing a few things: playing back anything I have in my iTunes libraries on any Mac in my house (I have 4), renting and downloading movies from iTunes, viewing photos off Flickr and playing Youtube videos. The only thing really missing from it, that…
Even though the iPhone SDK has been out for awhile now, there are still lots of people cranking out some cool apps for jailbroken iPhones. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in June when things get a lot more official from Apple with the availability of the SDK-developed apps. But until then, here are…
Okay, not really at all but I couldn’t think of a better title. While I was lounging on the beach in Hawaii recently, two separate articles in which I was interviewed for appeared online (and possibly in dead tree form too – I actually don’t know). The first one was for the UBC Thunderbird Newspaper…
Today Apple released the latest firmware for the iPhone taking it up to 1.1.4. Unfortunately, as usual, their details on what was updated is beyond sparse with ‘bug fixes’ being the only description at this time. Hopefully this also means the SDK is imminent. It didn’t take long before people upgraded and tried the ZiPhone…
Just upgraded successfully from 1.1.1 to 1.1.3 using this tutorial. Modified steps I used: sync to backup your stuff download and restore to 1.1.3 using the Option Restore method in the tutorial after about 10 minutes or so, you are at iTunes saying your SIM isn’t valid. Tutorial says to start the command line steps,…
It’s not for the faint of heart, but there is now a method to take a new, 1.1.3 out of the box iPhone (including the new 16gb models) and unlock it via software. Technically you have to jailbreak, downgrade, unlock, upgrade, and jailbreak but it appears to now be possible. The credit goes to George…
