Well, shortly after selling my Powerbook, I discovered and acquired an Asus eeePC – pronounced ‘E-pc’ – the three e’s stand for “Easy to Learn, Easy to Work, Easy to Play”. I’ve only had it a few days and can safely say that it has exceeded my expectations. It’s been fun taking this $399 wonder…
I guess I did something wrong. Oh well, back to Debian until I can sort it out. At least a system restore only take about 5 minutes.
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…
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a video (no embeded version) of them using the iPhoneSimFree unlock software. 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…
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…
If you believe this video: and the blog post related to it, it appears that a hardware unlock solution has been discovered. Apparently it requires some complex soldering but they also claim that a software unlock will be forthcoming “in less time than it takes to ship a Turbo SIM”. Exciting stuff if it’s true!
