I know I have made a detailed iPhone 4 vs 3Gs Comparison, and I’m sure some of you have read the comparison. Today we got another iPhone video comparison series, and in this video comparison we can see that there are iPhone 4G vs 3GS vs 3G vs 2G comparison, and the aspect to be compared is the speed between the iPhones.
It is interesting and a bit nostalgic seeing the iPhone 2G and 2G. With the rapid development of mobile technology, the presence of iPhone 2G and 3G feels so far behind. Anyway, enjoy the iPhone 4 vs 3Gs vs 3G vs 2G speed comparison below!
Now what do you think about the iPhone 4 vs 3GS vs 3G vs 2G speed comparison video? share some comments under.
If you are looking for the best online storage free app for iPhone, your search might have ended here. Meet Dropbox, a recommended storage app for iPhone (computers and iPad too! Perhaps next will be the iPhone 4G/iPhone HD? Who knows)
The reason I love this best online storage app for iPhone is that the software can syncs our files online, across devices installed with Dropbox (it could be iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac, PC, and iPad). Here’s how it works: for instance you are editing your documents (already put in your personal Dropbox folder, of course) in your iPhone, then Dropbox will automatically sync this newly saved documents across all devices. This feature allows us to have the latest version of the documents. How cool is that? More over, the Dropbox can also share files with other iDevice apps such as Mail, etc. You can share entire folders or even specific files on your Dropbox.
All in all, Dropbox is a MUST have free apps for your iPhone. With free of charge you’ll get a basic account with 2GB of space (enough to back up your docs). If you need more, you can upgrade to Pro 50 (50GB space for $9.99/month) or Pro 100 (100GB space for $19.99/month). These upgraded version is perfect to backup and share movies and videos.
It is time for us to show more love to iPad and iPhone lovers, whether it’s the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, or may be the rumored iPhone 4G/HD by giving more freeware and/or free apps
This time it is a twitter apps named MucLac EasyTweet 1.1; the iPhone app is claimed to be the simplest Twitter Application in the Apple Appstore. You know, simple might be the very thing you are looking for ^^
With big buttons, big text area, and simple menu, this twitter app is pretty nice. Due to it’s simplicity, the Twitter app for iPad and iPhone is considerably fast.
You can download the iPad and iPhone Free Apps: MucLac easytweet ver 1.1 from these links:
There are two videos of the Beta version of iPhone OS 4.0. First one is iPhone OS 4.0 initial hands-on video, and the second one is the multitasking on iPhone OS 4.0. It’s a good ’snacks’ before the WWDC 2010 event (which probably will reveal the 4th generation iPhone, the iPhone 4G/ iPhone HD)
Without further yada-yada, here are the videos for you to enjoy. Cheers.
I have to admit that the first time I saw this information on my source, I was instantly love where this is going. So the Square Credit Card reader is an app that allow you to do credit card-based transaction via your iPhone, and the iPhone is used as the mobile credit card terminal. Wow, isn’t that interesting? Just imagine doing business on the go and accepting credit card payments when you are on the road….
That’s the good news, the bad news is that the app is still in its early alpha testing stage so we have to be patient a while. So the system works like this: A dongle which will serve as the card reader can be attached via the headphone jack while its corresponding app will allow you to enter the amount to be paid, and the buyer can also enter his/her signature here.
Then the buyer will get the receipt emailed to him/her in real time, adding geotagging to record each transaction. And just like many credit card payments, there is a surchage. This app is likely to work on any iPhone, including iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, and I bet it will be a big hit!
I just got this info from our friends at the Gizmodo, saying that the new iPhone firmware, the OS 3.0.1 can still be jailbroken. So you can still hack your iPhone 3G or 3GS; even after the firmware upgrade
Just recently our beloved guys at the iPhone Dev Team have posted a detailing instructions on how to use the current versions of redsn0w and ultrasn0w on 3.0.1. Heads on this link to learn more about this jailbreaking iPhone OS 3.0.1
Regarding the increasing disturbance in the iPhone (3G, 3GS) SMS vulnerabilities (read: SMS Hacks), Apple has updated their iPhone OS 3.0 to iPhone OS 3.0.1.
Here’s a statement from Apple on the software update:
We appreciate the information provided to us about SMS vulnerabilities which affect several mobile phone platforms. This morning, less than 24 hours after a demonstration of this exploit, we’ve issued a free software update that eliminates the vulnerability from the iPhone. Contrary to what’s been reported, no one has been able to take control of the iPhone to gain access to personal information using this exploit.
So download it and enjow a more save journey with your beloved iPhone
There’s a new cool concept phone design from Matt Brady (with a slight of retouching by Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz), which is an alternative for those who just don’t like the slide QWERTY keyboard (Found in last week concepts, the iPhone Pro and iPhone Elite). This one offers you a flip QWERTY keyboard and it certainly makes iPhone looks like a big clamshell phone (IntoMobile’s James Falconer named it iClamshell, and I think that it suits it). This concept would allow the iPhone user to ‘add on’ different accessories. In this case, a snap-on keyboard. Interesting. This would certainly open up the door for Apple and a lot of 3rd party accessory manufacturers to go nuts with add-ons for the device.
But enough about that, what the heck do you think of this concept? Would it fly? Is it something you’d be interested in? Or does it look just plain terrible to you? Tell me what you think in the comments.
One thing is for certain… These concepts are great, and they certainly get you thinking about what you want in your next gen iPhone… But the real important thing is what does Apple think you want in your next gen iPhone!? We’ll find out shortly at Macworld. Going to be lots of good stuff to talk about following the keynote, that’s for sure!
So later in December we told you about the issue of unlocking software for iPhone 3G. So the iPhone Dev Team promised that in new year’s eve they will release a software to unlock the iPhone 3G. This software later known as the yellowst0ne, and it seems that the iPhone Dev Team has kept their promise by releasing the highly anticipated iPhone 3G unlock. Nevertheless the yellowst0ne is still in 0.9.1beta version, so some sides questioned the reliability. But it still is exciting, isn’t it?
Here are some important quotes from their blog regarding this latest release:
BASICS
The unlock works exclusively with baseband 02.28.00. This baseband is provided by the latest firmware update (2.2) from Apple. You’ll need to upgrade to this release using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to activate etc. There are plenty of tutorials about this on iclarified, bigboss, and other established tutorial sites. Because it works on 02.28.00, it is available to everyone on the planet. This means we don’t need to unnecessarily expose holes in earlier basebands, which is an important concern.
The application is a small daemon that is launched on boot. It injects the payload at boot and also whenever there is a baseband reset. You won’t notice anything about it other than that your third-party sim now works. It’s a small program and unobtrusive. There is no GUI (this is by design).
yellowsn0w is completely removable through Cydia, the command line, and iTunes.
DETAILS
There is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application menus. These menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit” “lotto numbers” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes. Removing and reinserting the SIM once after reboot (give it about 60 seconds (with v0.9.1) after you see the slide to unlock widget) fixes this issue. We’re working on a better fix.
For those of you using SIM cards without STK menus, the application has some optional arguments that will make the unlock much faster for you. So either experiment on your own (use “yellowsn0w -h” for usage) or wait for a customization writeup.
After you install yellowsn0w via Cydia, you should return to the Cydia main menu then reboot your iPhone with the 3rd party SIM installed. Wait for the slide to unlock screen, then wait 10 or 15 secs more. If you don’t see your carrier name pop up, then remove your SIM, reinsert it, and wait 10 secs more. This is the step we’ll be working on eliminating next.
RANDOM
The application is version 0.9.1. This is considered beta software, you use it at your own risk. You know the score.
The application is released on a non-commerical basis. Please do not accept pirates and scummy ripoffs of this software. We license this software for single use and in a non-commerical environment (meaning you can’t charge for it). The techniques and methods used are not to be used by third party companies. We are watching you Jody…we won’t be so forgiving this time.
UPDATES
If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings. Also if you are good with the command line, you can make it much easier by adding the line -q right after the /usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist (that’s and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool for it)
No PIN support yet. Remember how we said this was beta? Well we’re still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now.
The unlock will silently quit on anything other than baseband 02.28.00. It detects the wrong version and just quits to avoid any damage. Please double check your Modem Firmware setting in Settings->General->About.
As you can see, there are some limitations to this unlock app, but hey, it’s free anyway so who are we to argue with that? So if you’re ready to give this iPhone 3G unlock a go, you can find it at the following locations:
Hope you enjoy guys, and don’t forget to hit us up at the comments section below. We’d love to hear your two cents (or more) about this new iPhone 3G unlock from the iPhone Dev Team.
Hmm…Interesting isn’t it? So a student from Carleton University in Canada named Atif Shamin have tweaked his iPhone and extended the battery life of iPhone up to 12x longer than regular iPhone. So the PhD student invention’s name is ‘transmitter system on-package’. He modified the connection between cell phone antenna and the circuit board. So instead of using wire, he designed a high frequency micro-transmitter and receiver which is to avoid the usual loss of power pumping bits through a wire. He created a module replacing all the wires connecting a phone’s electrical circuits and antennae, making all of them communicate wirelessly. This device make the efficiency 12 times over which greatly improving the battery life. Great, I must say. [Source]
