Check this out: $100K has been offered for the right to distribute the iPhone unlocking software in the web for free. This is a good chance for iPhone patchers, like UniquePhones and IPhoneSIMfree to make some good money and avoid any problems with AT&T and Apple.
There are no details on who the buyer is and how the payments will be made; just a contact email address was posted.
As you know, today Apple's iPhone is available only to AT&T subscribers.
But the situation is about to change, as the company, according to reports, plans to announce the European carriers for the handset at IFA 2007 Berlin.
They are: T-Mobile in Germany, Orange in France, and 02 in the UK.
The possibility of enabling 3G on the iPhone still remains a question.
Although the new LG U990 "Viewty" may look similar to the Apple's iPhone, it has greater capabilities and might be quite interesting for many of you.
It comes with a nice 5.1Mpix digicam with image stabilization and auto-focus, capable of capturing 120fps videos, supports 3G HSDPA, and features 170MB of internal memory, 240 x 400 touch-screen and, of course, a media player.
Good news for those who can't afford the iPhone for the initial price. Well, now both iPhone models are available for $100 less at Apple refurb store .
After the iPhone's release many websites were redesigned to become iPhone accessible.
Now Facebook is one of them. Just log on to the site via the iPhone's Safari browser and you'll see that most of the important features are fully available.
Although some of them, such as the ability to join groups, are lacking, but that's a minor problem, you can be sure that the site works just fine.
SHAPE Services brings Skype to Apple’s iPhone. It is basically a Safari web application which allows users to access Skype from the handset and is fully compatible with the iPhone's touch-screen.
As many of you have already noticed, iPhone doesn't have an eBook reader, which is quite necessary and usefull for some people. To make things right, a third party group of programmers have released an unauthorized iPhone application for reading eBooks.
It supports text and HTML files stored in your Media / EBooks folder, and can enter subdirectories.
iPhone users that mostly work with pictures on their device have recently noticed a Web Gallery that suddenly appeared from nowhere. It doesn't seem to be a firmware update, because the latest version (1.0.1) released last week didn't contain this feature.
It is officially confirmed that hackers in Europe have unlocked the iPhone. The device is now capable of making/receiving calls as well as SMS messages. To hack the handset hacker used only a SIM reader/writer and a blank SIM card.
The patch is called Total Unlock, and has been tested in the Orange UK network.
