The Dev Team posted a message yesterday suggesting that iPhone 3GS owners should prepare their device for jailbreak. Remember we warned you to stay away from any updates to 3.1 if you want to be able to jailbreak or unlock your 3GS. Well this is an additional message to all you 3GS owners that would like to jailbreak your device sometime soon, but this advice comes with a warning! A warning that if you accidentally upgrade to 3.1, you will not be able to use Ultransn0w, so please re-read and double check this warning at the bottom of this post before proceeding.

RunPee Bathroom Break Tool Releases iPhone App

Azadeh Ensha

2 Jul 2009 | 2:00 pm

iPhone/iPod Touch only: Remember previously mentioned RunPee.com, the ingenious website that tells you when to head for a bathroom break during a movie so you don't miss any good parts? The site has released its first mobile version for iPhone users. Built on the same premise as the website, RunPee's iPhone app tells you the most opportune times to head out for a bathroom break (e.g., @ 35 mins.). Like the site, RunPee Mobile also lets you know how long each "PeeTime" lasts, and what happened while you were away. The application also has a built-in timer (which you can start at the beginning…
Turn a Cheap iPhone Case into a Tripod

Jason Fitzpatrick

1 Jul 2009 | 10:00 am

You probably use your iPhone's camera for hand-held photos and video, but once in a while you might want some shake-free shots. Get them with a tripod made from a clamshell case and a little ingenuity. By combining an inexpensive case with some very basic and cheap parts off the shelf of his local hardware store, Scott Patrick made a sturdy tripod mount for his iPhone. Check out the video below: The build is rather straightforward, but there's room for a little tweaking. While the tiny screws used to mount the case to the L-bracket are cheap, if you don't want to mess around with…
Remember the Milk Gets iPhone Push Notifications

Remember the Milk just got a lot more helpful on your iPhone. Version 1.1.1, now available, adds push notification powers to the task management app, giving you a heads up when your important to-dos are coming right up.After downloading or updating Remember the Milk's (RTM) iPhone app (which requires a Pro account, $25/year), you'll be prompted to allow RTM to send push notifications for tasks with specific deadline times. A previous version lacked sound chirps for notifications, but that should be fixed in 1.1.1, according to the RTM team. Users can choose how early and often they get…
AIM for iPhone Updates with Push Notifications

Adam Pash

23 Jun 2009 | 5:00 pm

iPhone only: When we toured iPhone 3.0's best features, we mentioned we hadn't yet seen many applications that supported push notifications. Now one of the big ones—AIM—does, delivering instant background messages even when it's not running.As a refresher, Apple doesn't allow the iPhone to run background applications. As a workaround, the new iPhone 3.0 supports push notifications that send SMS-like alerts straight to your phone even when an application isn't running. That means that you get the benefits of background apps with none of the battery drain. I tested out the new AIM…
iPhone 3.0 Unlocking Tool Arrives via Ultrasn0w

Kevin Purdy

23 Jun 2009 | 4:30 am

Mac OS X only: If you're running a 2G or 3G iPhone with the 3.0 firmware, your (unofficial) carrier options just opened up a bit, as the Dev Team has delivered Ultrasn0w 3.0 for full unlocking.Downloading and installing the unlocking tool requires that you have jailbroken your phone with PwnageTool, which means that, at the moment, it's only available for Mac OS X users with 2G or 3G iPhones, and not the new 3GS—though the Team is working on both Windows tools and 3GS access. Still, if you've been intrigued at the idea of switching away from AT&T for another GSM carrier, now you can do…

LG Making iPhone Competitor, Android Phone and Prada III

Jason Chen

2 Jul 2009 | 3:30 pm

It would be amazing if LG could make an iPhone competitor, an Android device and a Prada III that's one single device, but somehow I don't think that's what LG's president means. In an interview for a Korean news agency, Ahn Seung-kwon says (besides the details above) that LG will make another luxury phone (unrelated to the Prada) that will be similar to Nokia's crazy overpriced Vertu. He also said that they aim to be the number two cellphone maker in the world by 2012. The current #2? Samsung. So it's like Predator vs. Aliens, except instead of Predator and Aliens, you have a bunch of…
Apple Pulls iPhone App That Allowed for Child Pornography Uploads

Jesus Diaz

2 Jul 2009 | 10:30 am

Apple has pulled BeautyMeter—the iPhone/iPod touch app that allowed users to upload naked pictures of themselves for others to rate—after a 15-yo girl published this picture showing her bare breasts and pubic hair. Charlie Sorrel at Wired argues correctly that Apple will be damned with 17+ apps no matter what: The problems for Apple are clear. By setting itself up as a guardian of the store, Apple can't win. Any time a controversial application is approved, or non-allowed elements are snuck into an application post-approval, Apple is blamed. If these apps are pulled ahead of time,…
iPhone Patents Promise to Automate Our Relationships at Last

Unwired View uncovered three new iPhone patents that promise to turn everything from calling grandma on her birthday to turning off your phone in a movie theater into gloriously mindless activities. Scheduled Communications "A communications device may be programmed to initiate a communications operation when a particular condition is met. The user may set any suitable condition, including for example a date and time, location, event, received or sent communications operation..." In other words, automatically email grandma on her birthday, or automatically send your wife a text message when…
Apple's Nudie App Headaches Now Involve Underage Girls

Jason Chen

1 Jul 2009 | 5:00 pm

Whenever you give users—especially kids—a photo sharing application where they can upload their own photos, you're gonna get some nudity. That's fine, except for the part where I said kids. Now it's bad news for Apple. We can see how they approved the app, since it's innocent by itself (a photo sharing and uploading app). But when 15 year old girls start uploading topless photos of themselves, like the previously approved and then denied Hottest Girls app, that's when someone needs to take the app off the market.

I Dare You to Not Buy This PlayStation iPhone Case Immediately

Adam Frucci

1 Jul 2009 | 1:20 pm

Question: is this a great iPhone case, or is it the greatest iPhone case? I'm going to go with the latter. I mean, look at it! The disc cover opens so you can put in your iPhone! It comes with a super-detailed controller charm! It's absolutely fucking adorable. And for $20 (plus $7 for the controller), I really don't know how I'm going to show the restraint to not buy one right this minute. [Etsy via iPhone Savior]

WWDC Demo: Zombies, a modern update of Daleks (preview)

Filed under: WWDC, iPhone, iPod touch I can't count the number of hours I spent at the UT Music Library on a Performa or Quadra or Centris (I had a Centris 610 at the time) playing Daleks. Strangely addicting but incredibly simple, the game mechanic has been repeated often in the casual game universe, and Daleks was essentially a rip of Robots on UNIX. You try to get away from something, one step at a time, as those somethings inch ever closer, one step at a time. It's turn-based "tag." There's a terribly unsatisfying and buggy version called SuperDaleks for OS X here.Zombies is a bit of an…
App Store Rejections: Apple rejects iKaraoke app, patent published for a karaoke player

O2 is a nightmare

The mobile phone company O2 in United Kingdom is not treating its best customers, the iPhone 3G already owners like it should. The cut the story short, if you want an iPhone 3GS, it’s around £440!!! If somebody from O2 is reading this, believe me, you will have a lot of angry customers who took the iPhone 3G 1 year ago for free after an upgrade from the iPhone 2G, and usually with an 18 months contract. So for existing O2 clients, it costs a fortune to get the beloved mobile device. Tags:440 iphone iphone 3gs nightmare O2440, iphone, iphone 3gs, nightmare, O2Copyright © 2007Dieser…

10,000 iPhone Apps Now Available on App Store

3 Dec 2008 | 2:20 pm

For those keeping track, the App Store now officially has 10,000 apps that can be downloaded. This number is a harder number to track than you might expect. Apps are constantly being added and removed from the App Store. Removals aren’t necessarily all due to legal issues or the like. Frequently, developers pull apps for various reasons and reintroduce them later. So, here are two notable app releases related to the milestone: Adventoozle is the 10,000th app that is currently available for download.

App Store Reaches 10,000 Apps (Sorta)

29 Nov 2008 | 3:41 pm

Several sites have suggested that the App Store has reached over 10,000 iPhone and iPod Touch apps. Whether or not that’s true depends on your perspective. While over 10,000 apps have been released, there aren’t actually 10,000 apps currently in the App store. By our count, there have been 10,030 apps released to the App Store. About 354 of them have been pulled for various reasons (trademark issues, discontinued apps). Some may have already been re-released. So, there are 9,676 apps that you can actually download right now. Still, that’s a huge number and the 10,000 mark…

Filed under: Social Software, iPhone, MobileI wrote the other day about the iPhone version of AIM, and how it takes advantage of push notifications in iPhone 3.0., but since then I've been testing a different chat client that really takes things to the next level: BeejiveIM. You might be put off by the $10 purchase price, but if you're an avid IM fanatic, it will be worth every penny. BeejiveIM supports AIM, Google Chat, MSN, Yahoo!, Facebook and MySpace in a smart layout that makes it the most usable chat app I've tried on the iPhone yet.The key features that make BeejiveIM a killer app are…

AIM for iPhone, available as a free ad-supported app or a $2.99 ad-free version, now offers push notifications. Now AIM doesn't have to be open for you to see when you've got a new IM coming in.New push notifications pop up just like SMS messages, but you can also set AIM to badge its icon with the number of new messages you have, or play a sound when a new one comes in.

First up is haptic feedback via a “grid of piezoelectronic actuators”, which would provide a varied tactile response when touching the iPhone screen to better orient users (and let them type without locking their eyes on the keyboard, ideally). Second is a technology that seeks to identify fingerprints — i.e. not only that a user has touched the screen, but which specific finger…

Stephen Lombardo and Zetetic are the creators of the encrypted iPhone data vault Strip. Apple enforces a number of restrictions on applications in the App Store. Among the most painful is the lack of feature-limited trials. Applications are either completely free, or the customer must pay up front, sight unseen. The proliferation of “Lite” applications is a direct result of this shortcoming. Publishers will often create two application versions: the first is fully functional but costs money, the second is “Lite” and comes with limited features but zero price tag. The…

Okay folks, it's time to step back, take a deep breath and relax. (Credit: Apple, Inc.) There has been a lot of talk today about Apple supposedly admitting it has heat issues with the new iPhone 3GS. The simple fact is, that is not true. What Apple did do is update a previously published tech note advising customers of the safe operating temperatures of the iPhone. Now, why would Apple do this? Because it does it every time it releases a device like the iPhone 3GS. It's standard procedure for the company to continually update tech notes for all its products.

The iPhone Dev Team has posted a new method for 3GS owners to jailbreak their iPhones. The new method will allow them to jailbreak now, rather than wait for them to update the Pwnage Tool for the 3GS, but it comes at the cost of not being able to unlock the device in the future. It's pretty risky, and shouldn't be attempted when the 3.1 firmware is released or if you're "anywhere near 3.1 or 3.1 beta", regardless of if you have it installed.

EXCLUSIVE: WunderRadio's great iPhone Twitter adventure

Scott Kleinberg

24 Jun 2009 | 7:52 am

06.24.09 - 9:30 a.m. In Chicago, $6.99 won't buy me a large quad iced venti latte and a chocolate chunk cookie. It will, however, buy you the greatest iPhone radio app there is. As many of you know, I've always recommended WunderRadio as my iPhone radio app of choice. Yes, there are other music apps out there like Pandora and Pocket Tunes and Slacker and all of them do what they set out to do well, but WunderRadio is different - WunderRadio is about providing a high-tech, old-fashioned radio station experience. Meaning, when I want to listen to Atlantic City's hottest music at 95.1 WAYV just…
iPhone MMS in the U.S. via AT&T imminent? **UPDATE: AT&T says no

Scott Kleinberg

18 Jun 2009 | 9:31 am

**UPDATED 12:20 p.m.** Not so fast, literally. I received this comment from Meghan Roskopf, a spokesperson for AT&T: "What you've heard is false. MMS for iPhone will be ready by late summer. AT&T and Apple have a detailed planning process and both companies supported the decision and timing." That's unfortunate, so it remains to be seen what this internal memo was that the AT&T representative at customer service talked about. I'll keep you posted on what I find out. 06.18.09 -- 11:21 a.m. This is what folks in the U.K. using o2 received when they downloaded 3.0. We might be next. (thanks to…

06.17.09 - 2 p.m. This is huge news. AT&T has listened to what customers had to say and a lot of people - including myself - appreciate this. Now instead of waiting to qualify for upgrade pricing if you would normally be eligible next month, August or September, you can upgrade effective tomorrow. Many kudos, AT&T - This is welcome news. We're reacting of course on Twitter, so please chime in with your thoughts there. Thanks for calling. The entire press release from AT&T appears below.

I'm on it all the time. I still answer questions and pass along all the good stuff. It's not a blog but it's still me. 2. Facebook. There's an iPTIB page that I try to check.

Sadly, as we approach 2 years here, I never really anticipated the day where I'd be telling you that iptib may not…

According to the Chicago Tribune, AT&T will become the fourth wireless service in CTA subways under a contract the transit agency's board approved Wednesday. AT&T joins Cricket, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular in providing service in the underground rail tunnels of the Red and Blue Lines. The CTA estimated the AT&T contract will generate at least $3.1 million over the 10-year deal.

Julie Schablitsky: Historical archaeology, from shards to stories

For archaeologist Julie Schablitsky, the MacBook is a perfect storytelling tool. “The Mac is what I put my experiences and interpretations into,” she says. “It receives all of my thoughts, all of the stories that are given to me by the artifacts. I use it to turn those stories into visual representations that I can show people, the public, and academic colleagues. You can help people time travel with the Mac.”
iPhone icons all over the place in version 3.0

2 Jul 2009 | 2:57 am

Filed under: iPhone, iPod touch But not the right place, and that’s the problem. Apple support boards are seeing increasing message traffic about icons that vanish, or attach themselves to the wrong app. This seems a problem with iPhone 3.0. Older versions seem unaffected. I saw this myself yesterday. My AT&T Navigator app which I am testing for a forthcoming review, somehow acquired my Reuters News icon. I deleted the AT&T app and re-downloaded it, but that didn’t help. I reset the phone and that didn’t help either. Finally I did a sync with all the apps turned off…

iPhone executes SMS binary code as root

A security flaw has been discovered in the iPhone OS that could allow attackers to gain root access to the iPhone OS and allow them to install and execute malicious programs at will. Charlie Miller announced the discovery of the vulnerability during a presentation at the SyScan conference in Singapore on Thursday. DailyTech explains: The iPhone apparently automatically executes binary code sent in SMS messages. Messages are limited to 140 bytes, but this is little deterrence as longer programs can be broken up into several messages, which the phone automatically reassembles. While other…

No Place for Porn at Apple App Store

George S.

26 Jun 2009 | 1:10 pm

No adult content is allowed on iPhone and now this is official. At least that's what Apple's Tom Neumayr said, according to CNN. "Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography.", says Neumayr.Interestingly, "Hottest Girls", an adult application, was already approved by Apple when the application hit the App Store. However, the application was quickly removed from the App Store.To be honest, I don't care much whether adult content is present at the App Store or not as long as there is proper parental control system in place.One way or another,…

Yesterday, when I was just about to head to my bed, I noticed on the Dev Team blog that finally Ultrasn0w had arrived. Half asleep, I decided to give it a try. When I bought my iPhone 3G, it was already unlocked and jailbroken by the shop. So, I'm a rookie in this respect. As promised, I'm writing about my experience with the upgrade process. Hopefully, this post will be useful if you have not upgraded to OS 3.0 yet and plan to do so. Let's start.Overall, the process went smoothly and took about 40 minutes. As long as you follow a couple of easy steps, you shall have no problems.STEP 1. The…
TweetDeck - The Best Twitter Client for iPhone?

Generally, I'd rather have everything in browser... well maybe some day.However, when it comes to iPhone, I really like specialized applications. For example, Facebook has a really cool iPhone version of the site for the Safari browser. Yet, I prefer the standalone application.I'd been using Twittelator for accessing Twitter from my iPhone for months. I really liked Twittelator, however, it does have some annoyances (well not precisely…

However, after playing around with this game, I've really changed my mind.Drums Challenge developed by MusiGames Studio is played by tapping on a virtual drum kit on an iPhone or iPod Touch and players challenge drummers of different styles such as jazz, blues, funk, rock, metal, punk,…

iPhone TIPS: 1st impressions RedSn0w iPhone 2G OS 3.0 Jailbreak and Unlock

20 Jun 2009 | 1:46 pm

I like to share my experiences of doing a jailbreak and unlock of a first generation (1st gen) locked iPhone 2G. You know, the one with that metal finish you probably bought in the US and without a AT$T contract. The reason is today's release of the RedSn0w software, which enables us to do both a jailbreak and unlock of our iPhone 2G after we upgrade it to the brand new OS 3.0 with iTunes 8.2. In fact, the Redsn0w software can do the same thing as the Quickpwn tool for OS 2.x and runs on both Windows and Mac OS platforms.NOTE: The instructions below were based on the iPhone 2G in conjunction…

How to Make Your iPhone 3GS Look Jailbroken

Since the iPhone 3GS jailbreaking tools aren’t out yet (they will be once firmware 3.1 is released), your iPhone 3GS looks pretty much like any other iPhone out there. Jailbreaking allows us to download themes and apply them with Winterboard. This makes our phones look pretty neat and unique. Well, here’s something I first heard about yesterday that will make your iPhone 3GS look jailbroken (or just broken too) and unique for all you ancy people out there. All it does is make your iPhone look different from the million other 3GS units out there. I’ll stop ranting now and let…

iPhone 3GS Battery Life vs iPhone 3G vs iPhone 2G

There’s a popular expression, “third time’s a charm.” When it comes to the iPhone, I would say the features on the latest 3GS include many that we have been longing for since the original iPhone days (EG copy and paste, MMS, video recording). When it comes to iPhone battery life, the 3GS performs better than the 3G but the original first gen iPhone still remains king.

UnboxingAfter actually receiving my iPhone 3G S on the 19th as promised, I decided to take a few shots while unboxing it just for good measure. The only noticeable difference when you first look at the box is how much smaller it is than the iPhone 3G box and the “S” after iPhone 3G. I opened it up to find a device that looked much like the one I had purchased almost a year ago. The upgrades are clearly on the inside of the phone; two things on the outside of the iPhone are apparent after looking it over and using it a little bit. First, the lettering that says iPhone and 16GB (in my case)…
The iPhone 3G S is Finally Here!

After a whole year of anticipation (maybe a slight exaggeration) our wait if finally over. Today Apple and AT&T are releasing the iPhone 3G S to the eager public. This iPhone promises to be more of an internal upgrade than an external, but as Apple has said in the past it is more about the software than the hardware. While other companies are pushing the hardware specs of their devices, Apple is talking about software and functionality. This is what truly separates the iPhone and Apple from other phones and phone manufacturers. With all that said though, the new iPhone has a lot of…
Could This be the Next iPhone?

17 Feb 2009 | 8:46 am

Picture from MacRumors.comThere are photos circulating that are supposedly the next iPhone. If the photos are real, then it would certainly be an improvement upon the current model's casing. I like the shiny black just fine, but a matte black with a little bit of grip to it would be a great idea. Also, bringing back the metal casing on the back instead of the plastic one that we have now would make the iPhone feel much more sturdy which is definitely something I liked about the original iPhone. We will have to wait and see of course if these are in fact real photos, but for now we can…
Flash for iPhone Coming?

There have recently been talks about Adobe bringing flash to the iPhone, but it has been almost two years since the original iPhone came out so does it really matter anymore. Apple has been working on doing more than just fit the mold of every other company out there and has actually tried to make things the way they want them. Flash is a great example of this. Apple decided not to encourage Adobe to create flash for the iPhone in hopes that Apple can help push the internet to work better with the iPhone and possibly create a new platform that could make Flash obsolete.

29 Jun 2009 | 6:15 am

The Dev-Team posted on their site yesterday the current status of the iPhone 3GS Jailbreak. In short they state that while a jailbreak currently already exists, they won’t be releasing it quite yet. They still need to figure out a few things and perfect the method of jailbreak before they release the final version. They also state that it’s best if it is not released at this time due to the relatively small number of people that have gotten their new devices as of today. Expect the final version to be released in the somewhat near future, but probably…

New iPhone 3GS Ad 'Skateboard' Focuses On Video

Mr. Besilly

The third spot in a fresh trilogy of iPhone 3GS commercials "Skateboard", places Apple's video capture, on board editing and sharing features center stage. While the company's formula remains in tact, including a new music bed entitled "Mr. Pitiful" performed by Matt Costa, the latest ad focuses on video sharing as the hook.

Apple Pimps iPhone 3GS In Latest TV Ads

The opening copy in Apple's two brand new TV commercials starts with what has become its summer blockbuster theme for the third consecutive year, "This is the new iPhone". A profound sentence that's forever changed the mobile phone industry. In the latest adverts, the company focuses all of the attention on one long overdue feature "Copy and Paste" and on a newcomer known as "Voice Control". While I'm still in shock over how long Apple has taken to finally deliver iPhone users the gift of Copy & Paste, it's Voice Control that has been capturing my mindshare of late. It's one epic feature…

Earlier today, we got our hands on the bootrom. With the help of chronic, posixninja, and pod2g, I verified that it is still vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit present in the iPod Touch 2G. This is great news for all of you. Basically, this means if someone makes a tethered jailbreak, it easily becomes untethered, because the boot chain is broken. Expect big things soonOn a personal note, I'm sad. Apple, it took me a week to break through your new defenses. And to let us reuse an exploit like that; 24kpwn was so 5 months ago. Although I imagine it must have been painful watching the devices…

Apple has added a new layer of security to the iPhone 3GS. I mentioned it several posts earlier; it's the ECID field. When iTunes starts the restore process, they contact Apple servers to generate signatures just for your device. It's important you get these signatures for your phone before a new version of the software comes out. I had previously suggested doing this by dumping usb while the iPhone restores. But this is complicated.Fortunately, the good folks at purplera1n are here for you, the end user who wants a jailbreak. Follow these instructions to generate a unique certificate for…

iPhone 3GS Jailbreak Purposely Delayed

The Dev Team posted yesterday stated that they do in fact have a iPhone 3GS jailbreak ready, but they are purposely delaying it’s release until the next iPhone 3GS firmware update (3.0.1). We can jailbreak the 3GS right now. But making our jailbreak public at this point in time would benefit relatively few people. It would in fact be detrimental to many more people than it would help. So we feel it’s best to keep our version of the jailbreak out of Apple’s sights for the time being. They also note if you have done a USB dump or got your img3’s signed with your ECID using…

So after 2 years of working on my ‘website projects’ I decided to take a little vacation. During the past couple of weeks a couple of my websites have been able to continue to go forward, but sadly AppStoreApps.com was on pause for a little bit. It is just a little more expensive to keep this website going when I’m not here than my others are. Some of you might have noticed that AppBoxx.com went down. With my recent move, I just couldn’t justify paying the 300/month for server. The website was growing rather well, but I would have to invest at least another year into…

Touch Karma is a collection of 3 mini-applications. 2 of these apps track karma points and the other monitors your piggy bank activity. The application is setup very well. You can add ‘babies’ or ‘friends’ and give them a goal. So if they do good things, they get so many points, and then they get enough points they get a prize, or money, or something. This is great for kids, which is why the developers emphasized the ‘babies’ part so much. You can add a ‘kid’ and give them a goal like ‘ice cream’ or ‘money’ then during…

You’re given bubbles with answers and bubbles with the equations. You’re supposed to touch an equation and then touch the answer to it. After that you’ll see the bubbles disappear, making it easier to answer the other equations(since there are less bubbles).

One Definite Advantage Of The Pre Over The iPhone: Push Gmail [del.icio.us]

Google has a post today on its blog outlining how many of its applications are built right into the Palm Pre’s webOS.

But buried in the post is a little nugget of information that is sure to enrage some iPhone owners: The Pre will support push Gmail from the get-go.

When id Software first announced Doom Resurrection for the iPhone I was really excited. But soon after the initial shock faded, reality set in. Every shooter I’ve played in the App Store has been mediocre at best, with the exception of Metal Gear Solid Touch which was quite good, admittedly not ground breaking though. I started to question the direction id Software was planning to take Doom Resurrection in, an on-rails shooter? Blah, how could id Software do such a thing. The company has been making the best FPS games for years and every single one of them had free look. But then I…

1 Jul 2009 | 2:30 pm

If you ever played battleship as a kid, then no doubt you can appreciate Battleship by Pen. Created by RedMadRobot, Battleship by Pen gets bonus points from me for originality in design. An app that appears to have been drawn entirely by hand on graph paper with a blue Bic pen, Battleship by Pen is the same concept as the original board game, but with some original features of it’s own. Players choose where to place their battleships, which are really just groups of squares outlined in pen with Xs inside, and deploy their fleet onto the graph paper grid to begin. In Battleship By Pen…

Review: Skype for iPhone -- international calls for pennies

Jeffrey Richardson

1 Jul 2009 | 10:05 pm

I recently traveled to Russia for a week, and while I was there I needed to call home quite often to keep in touch, participate in conference calls to keep up with my cases, etc. I had an AT&T calling card with me, but to use it for international calls I would have had to use 10 minutes of calling card time for every one minute of talk time, and that is on top of the fees that my hotel was charging me to get an outside line. I also could have used my iPhone to make an international cell phone call using a 3G service in Russia, but I suspect that would have cost me—and I am just…
The em and en of iPhone 3.0

Jeffrey Richardson

Apple tells us that there are over 100 new features in iPhone Software 3.0. One of them is the addition of the em dash. I haven't seen much discussion of the em dash feature on other websites—which doesn't really surprise me—but because many lawyers appreciate precise legal writing, I thought I would discuss it here today. And yes, I did just effortlessly use em dashes in my last sentence. That's just the kind of guy I am.Let's start by talking about the three kinds of dashes. First, there is a hyphen, which purists will correctly note isn't a dash at…

Tip Calculators have been on iTunes since Day 1, and there are currently almost 100 of them. I must admit that I used to think that they were a little silly. I can definitely see using an iPhone to help you figure out a tip, but can't you just use the built-in Calculator app? Last week the folks at Quetouch Apps sent me a review copy of their $2 TipBox app, and I have to admit, I now understand that these apps can be useful.The basic function of TipBox is to calculate a tip. In the preferences, you set your preferred tip amount; I use 20%. When you get your bill, just enter the…

There are so many Twitter apps flooding the app store that it’s often hard to pick one and say it covers everything you want it to. At least for me that was the case.

Murray created a test build of his studio's Real Racing [App Store], which normally features six cars on a track at the same time, and started adding cars in order to see when the new hardware would falter. He was able to push the game to 40 cars on-track at once without any perceptible loss in framerate. As he concluded, the results are fairly "mind blowing." Pocket Gamer recently spoke with Murray,…

30 Jun 2009 | 3:45 am

When Apple and Steve Jobs came out with the iPhone in 2007, they were quick to point out that iPhone OS was in fact OS X (in a stripped down version). Really. At some point, Steve Jobs was saying this was good for Apple because both "platforms" could benefit from each other. History proves that this was in fact the case. Here is why.First, iLife 09. There is a lot of refinements in the user interface of iLife 09 that comes from the iPhone OS. The use of "pins" on the Places feature is one example.Another example is the back and forward buttons. Second, in Snow Leopard, same thing is…

It has been a few days since I've posted to my blog because I was busy working on uP@ssw0rdz! 1.1. It is nearly ready. But the thing is that I plan to add new stuff to it until Apple approves version 1.0.1 that as been posted on June 16th. So ,version 1.1 will be a more substantial upgrade that I originally thought it would be. Stay tuned for more information.In the last few days I've also learned that when there is no daily sales report it is because... there is no sales for that specific day! It is not Apple's fault. It's "only" because nobody out of the 40 millions users of the iPod touch…

It would cost $1,875 a day to be a Top iPhone App

So you have been dreaming of developing the No.1 iPhone app. Did you know that it will cost $1,875 a day, according to Adwhirl, which aggregates ad networks to help publishers monetize their apps on the iPhone. Adwhirl has another suggestion: Develop a free iPhone app that will generate a large user base, and then leverage those users it to drive traffic to your paid app. The idea is not super original. Game companies commonly offer free versions to get people hooked in hopes of converting them over to paying customers. However, Adwhirl does a good job of explaining why. [via - Moconews]…

AdMob revealed this pdf report stating that Apple smartphones received 49 percent of ad traffic in May, compared with 32 percent for Nokia.

App Review - 2XL Supercross Lite

30 Jun 2009 | 8:07 am

Developer: 2XL Games Inc Category: Games Price: Free One of the things that makes the App Store so appealing to consumers is the inclusion of Lite games to whet the app-etite (see what I did there). Lite games are free and give us the chance to test an app before we make a purchase. In most cases the inclusion of a Lite version of an app means that the developer has confidence in his/her product and as a result they are happy to give a little piece away for free (there’s no smash and grab 59p for rubbish). In the case of 2XL Supercross, the Lite version completely sucks you into a world…

The name of the game is to create groups of tokens in the quickest time using the least amount of moves. It starts incredibly simply which lulls you into a false sense of security and before you know it you’re getting frantic trying to beat the clock.

He claims that helping him on his quest will earn you the respect of the gods. This time around the strategy for level completion is much simpler than any of the other games and just requires you to tap on groups of three or more tokens. The simplicity of the game means that its the quickest of the series and also the easiest to get in to.

He is the guardian of the dead and by far the most sinister of the gods involved. This is reflected in the music, which has a more movie like quality - adding weight to the task at hand. This time around the aim of the game is to use your finger to drag a line across three or more connected tokens on a grid. Those tokens will then explode allowing more to fall into the grid.

The principle is similar to that of Bast and uses similarly joined tokens, only this time the board is always full and you rearrange the tokens into groups of three or more. Should you do this they will explode and more tokens will fall from the top of the screen to fill their place. The way this system works means that as tokens fall they often fall into groups of three or more creating continuing explosions and a constant…

The model portion defines your application’s underlying data engine and is responsible for maintaining the integrity of that data. The view portion defines the user interface for your application and has no explicit knowledge of the origin of data displayed in that interface. The controller portion acts as a…

Many of you may have had my job – I spent all day writing Windows .NET code that was rushed out the door as soon as it was “good enough” for the people who worked at our company. My software was “just ok” and it did the job; but, it was never pretty and never really exciting. Maybe 50 people total used the software I spend years making. Like my software, my day job was not…

Exciting New Business Model The first is a blog post, Trying Boutique Advertising, about “Boutique Advertising” – you may know that I am testing out different ways to use iPhone based advertising to increase sales of apps with little effect. This article takes about a completely different approach to running ads on the iPhone (vs commodity services like AdMob).

Do we still doubt iPhone’s web capabilities?

Ankur

2 Jul 2009 | 3:07 pm

According to statistics from AdMob, Apple’s iPhone received 49 percent of total ad traffic on mobile devices in May, compared with 32 percent for Nokia. No doubt its a great achievement that the iPhone now has 49% of all Ads displayed on mobile devices. Even us at iPhoneHelp receive over 10% of our hits from iPod Touch or iPhones. But for me anything that signifies a new milestone for the iPhone w.r.t mobile internet is not a NEWS. It would certainly be a news if Nokia or Samsung or some other smartphone took the lead here, but iPhone leading mobile Internet with maximum usage, Ads etc…

Confirmed: iPhone 3GS has better speakers

Ankur

30 Jun 2009 | 8:52 am

Another common complaint by iPhone users was the poor speaker strength. This is answered a bit in the new iPhone 3G S. Though its not as loud as a normal Nokia, but 5-7db louder than the iPhone 3G. Another reason for an upgrade to iPhone 3GS? or something to fend off the competition?
