iPod Touch: I Can Haz Camera?

0

Written on 12:16 PM by irockish


click for bigger picture

Is the next generation of iPod Touches getting a camera upgrade? But not only the camera but as well as a integrated microphone. Tech sites all across the web believe so. According to Wired.com:

A well-connected source tells us those rumors are on the money, and that Apple’s factories in China are already manufacturing iPod Touch models with integrated cameras and microphones. An Apple spokesman declined to comment when reached by phone.
This is really not suprising me as I could see the iPod touch getting this soon. Why? Well because when you think about it iPod touch owners are held off from purchases in Camera Apps, or applications such as Skype because users would have to buy yet another $30 Headset with mic. I'm sure Apple would like some more money coming in with iPod touch users now being able to purchase more apps.

What else could the microphone mean? Well the iPod touch could also be getting the Voice Control feature as well. This would not be a iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 3rd gen only exclusive feature.

Last year the iPod touch 2nd gen came out around Sepetember, we can only wait and cross our fingers to see what Apple has planned for us.

Now as you all know I already own a iPhone 3G, soon to be 3GS, but I saw this video and said wow. Sure iPhone does all these things, but the UI is really nice on this phone, plus it also has a 4' touch screen. If specs follow the video just to review them:

  • Scratch proof tempered glass

RebelSim.com is a joke

0

Written on 5:54 PM by irockish



Rebelsim, I'm sure you heard about it. It's the company that sells SIM cards that you put in your iPhone and it unlocks your iPhone. I've never used this, cannot say if it's crap or actually works. When I bought my iPhone it had 2.2.1 on it so I was screwed. I used TurboSIM to unlock my phone and it worked perfect.

So why am I hating on RebelSim, sure they do what they say. My problem with them is that they sell the dev team software and make profit of it. Recently they started selling GeoHot's purplera1n iPhone 3GS jailbreak software. All jailbreaks though are free, most of the time through the dev-team.

RebelSim charges about $20-$40 for the software. People buy it of course because they thing well if I'm paying for it then it must work right? People need to learn how to use Google and YouTube. Google can help you find info and when that info is found, YouTube it for visual. YouTube is the video google in my opinion.

I don't like the people that make profit off of others hard work. Dev-Team to be exact, they put hardwork and people did donate some money for a new iPhone 3GS for planetbeing, but they worked hard and deserved it. That's why I have my little problem with RebelSim.

Internet Tethering with T-Mobile USA Edge Network [UPDATED]

0

Written on 9:50 PM by irockish

Well I'm in California today (July 3rd) San Diego, to be exact. 4th of July weekend and with the family. Well I have EDGE service on my iPhone. So how am I doing this blogpost? Well sure there's an app for that! ? No not really, blog posting from the iPhone isn't really my thing.

So how am I. I'm tethering my iPhone's EDGE service to my computer. It's really simple, I am not even joking. The best Part too? It doesn't even require you to Jailbreak your iPhone!!! I have my phone jailbroken but only for ultrasn0w, I try not to run so many JB apps as I like my battery life not to be used by apps in the background.

This tutorial is simple and does work with AT&T 3G service as well. Now for you AT&T people, try not to do so much, if you use it to send some emails, check facebook then your good. But don't go using it to download music, or videos or something. Why? Well because If AT&T sees some heavy 3G usage on your account, well I don't know what the consequences are but I'm sure they may suspend your account or something.

Tethering At the moment is not allowed for AT&T service, BOO! Now with T-Mobile I don't think there should be any consequences because window phones have Internet sharing apps on there as well, so no problem there

If you follow this tutorial and follow it right you should be tethering in no time.

1. Open safari on your phone and go to "help.benm.at"
2. Scroll down to the first "mobileconfigs" and click on it.
3. Select your country
4. Select Carrier (if your doing T-Mobile, do U.S.A > T-Mobile.
5. It will then take you to your settings and on the top right hit install.
6. Reboot your phone
7. Go back into safari and go to the second "mobileconfigs" and enter in your internet settings (for t-mobile it should be either wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com depending on your internet plan)
8. Hit Install
9. Go into Settings>General>Network>Internet Tethering and Turn it on
10. Use USB mode (most common)
11. If your on Vista it should automatically install and set up on your PC and should take 2 minutes at the max!

ENJOY and retweet this please!

Another Warning To ultrasn0w users

0

Written on 3:30 AM by irockish


When the official 3.1 beta comes up make sure you do not upgrade to it, you will lose your unlock and possibly lose it forever. Apple is closing the loophole that the dev found to make the unlock. The dev-team will release tools that will allow you to safely unlock to make sure your device stays unlocked and jailbroken

If you have any questions and you've tried ask the dev team but maybe they don't answer back you can tweet me as well. I will try to answer your question to the best of my ability. Want a quick answer? email me at irockish@hotmail.com That goes directly to my iPhone

Nice Michael Jackson Theme For Your iPhone

0

Written on 1:36 PM by irockish

We all saw last week's terrible news and as we lost the King Of Pop. Very sad story, I couldn't believe it myself. YouTube spotlight was on MJ, as well as all the trending topics on twitter, 80% of them were about MJ. R.I.P Michael Jackson, you'll be missed.

Now if you were a big fan, and have a jailbroken iPod/iPhone. Here's a nice theme I found in Cydia for all of you.

To find it easily just search in Cydia, Michael Jackson and should be the first theme that comes up, just to make sure it's the right one, use this screenshot to match it up

New Features in Firmware 3.1 *ultrasn0w users DO NOT upgrade*

0

Written on 1:17 PM by irockish


If you are a ultrasn0w user and before you get excited please note that you should not upgrade. Why? 3.1 already comes with ways to stop ultrasn0w just as @musclenerd said it would.

So if your planning on buying a 3GS, do it NOW. 3.1 is sure to fix the holes that the dev-team broke through to unlock the iPhone "3G".

So what comes in the new firmware? The following:
- Video editing now gives you the option to trim your clip then “Save as copy…” rather then writing over and replacing the original clip.
- Voice Control now works over Bluetooth
- The iPhone now vibrates when moving icons
- Updated AT&T profile to 4.2
- Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01 (*this is what will kill ultrasn0w)
- Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz.
- APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them. New tools for the developers
- MMS buttons are back in the Messages app for AT&T customers but still don’t work. I wonder when later this summer is going to be?
- Copy & Paste functions also work in the address book as well as in the numeric keypad of the phone application. Nice little improvement, it did work when you would go into the contact and hit edit to get the number now allows you to highlight the number and copy will come up
- Videos can be saved from e-mail attachments and stored in your photo album.
- Find My iPhone feature, still only for MobileMe users, the audio alert Blasts at full volume regardless of what the ringer volume is set to.
- Does not fix the pitch noise for iPhone 3GS users that were experiencing this problem.

I guess with all these features, that is why it's 3.1, instead of 3.0.1 which probably would've just been made to kill Ultra, as I'm sure is Apple's main concern rather than getting MMS out to it's customers.

The First iPhone 3GS Jailbroken!

I'm sure you all remember George Hotz, aka GeoHot, the one who first unlocked the iPhone(the original one). Well he did it again by unlocking the iPhone 3GS.

Now he did however use redsn0ws code and only changed around 10 lines of it. But still he has created the first jailbreak. So why isn't it released yet? Well I don't want to break anyones heart, but the dev-team is holding off on that. Here the blog post to see for yourself.

So GeoHot has the luxury of having the only jailbroken phone unless planetbeing does too as he just got a nice new 3GS as well, courtesy of all the followers.

iPhone 3GS Takes a Dive in the Pool

The video below shows a guy at the pool recording and loving his new 3GS, when apparently his iPhone 3GS drops in the pool for a little swim. Look what happens



...It still works! I believe all he had was a rubber case, but still nothing had happened to it. As of yesterday 6-28-09 the phone is still in 100% working condition. His warranty is now in-effective but oh well. It might hurt him down the road like this guy who put his iPhone under running tap water.

But please don't go and try this with your lovely 3GS, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. One that should never be done to a iPhone (haha im only joking)

Palm Mojo SDK Leaked Out To Web

Written on 11:55 AM by irockish

Nice one Palm, obviously they haven't caught up to the idea of people leaking stuff to the internet. Apple uses smarter "ways" to have an SDK one that doesn't leak out.

How did this happen? Palm doubled the number of people who were originally going to try out the SDK and someone leaked it onto the internet. @keithah tweeted about it and it spread from there. For now it's only the windows version.

Palm took for frickin ever anyway, so it's nice they did this. I'm not posting the link but if you know how to use google you'll be good :).

So besides the white iPhone "3G" cracking issues on it's housing. There seems to be another issue now, and that is as you can see above a 3GS, with brown on it.

The case with this one is that when the iPhone overheats with the white one apparently over a week of time, Today (Friday) being the one week launch of the iPhone "3GS". Only been one case and apparently it's already been sent in for analysis and could/SHOULD get a replacement phone

Battery Increase with 3.0 Update?

0

Written on 1:46 AM by irockish



So I'm sure most of you guys have upgraded to 3.0, if you haven't then why not? It comes with a lot of amazing features that should've been here since about 2.0. I'm cutting you some slack Apple! Well my question to you guys in this post is has anyone noticed some improvement in battery life? I'm sure for the 3GS it must be some phone. Apple added speed and yet better battery life? Simply amazing, that's why I love apple.

But since upgrading to 3.0 all I've done is jailbroken so that I could use ultrasn0w. And also the battery hack that shows me the percentage of the battery left. Something that should've came with the 3G upgrade not just something for the 3GS, I dont get it either. So if you have a quick second leave some comment letting me know if your one of the people like me who has some increase in battery.

If anything I've noticed about a good half a day increase in my battery.

iPhone 3G S Jailbreak IS Possible

0

Written on 9:58 PM by irockish

Well I'm sure most of you already love the 3GS and all it's lovely 5 new features, but if you were a preview iPhone 3G owner or iPhone 2G and you were part of the Jailbroken community. You miss Cydia right?

Well all the prayers are answered. GeoHot, the first person to ever create a iPhone unlock, has done some snooping around and has found that the iPhone 3GS is vulnerable to a jailbreak through the same 24kpwn exploit present in the iPod Touch 2G. What does this mean? I'll let him explain, this is from his blog:

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 soon
Good news for you owners and it only took about a week as well :). Maybe next time Apple

The cat and mouse game shall continue. Follow me on twitter for any more leads to iPhone 3GS Jailbreak + Unlock

Downloading .IPSW Files With Safari 4

0

Written on 5:24 PM by irockish


The great people over at MMi have made a nice little 15 second tutorial over on their site about download .IPSW files on Safari on Macs. It seriously takes like 15 seconds.

.IPSW being the file type for the firmwares. If you've jailbroken your phone or are thinking about it. Then your going to deal with these files. Safari automatically extracts it which is why the .ipsw could not be working. Follow this tutorial on their site and you'll be set. 15 secs goes a long way when dealing with problems like this.

BTW Safari might not do the auto-extract thing again but it might name it ".ipsw.zip" just rename it and take of ".zip" and you'll be good!

So I wanna know how many people are loving the new phone. Was it worth the upgrade? are you unhappy? is it what you expected? what you didnt expect? I'm curious to know. You can either comment here or send me a Tweet @iRockIsh.

I didnt get one for two reasons. 1 I'm not on AT&T, I'm one of the ones who have to wait till the dev team unlocks the phone like 6 months after it comes out.
2. i dont have the 600-700 dollars for it

I do want it badly, but it's alot. Next year when my contracts up I think I'm gonna make the switch!

But lemme know what you think about the new 3G S?

Some interesting iPhone 3G S Performance Results

0

Written on 2:10 AM by irockish



above is just one of the performance results showing how fast the page loaded up and rendered. The contestants were most of the big smartphones in the market such as the iPhone 3G, the Palm Pre, and the T-Mobile G1




above now is the application launch times, all of these apps are on all of these phones, of course you can see how the iPhone 3G S (Of course), comes in first place without a doubt.

The new 3GS renders web pages 128% faster, on average, than the old iPhone 3G. The 45% clock speed boost alone isn't enough to generate such a large performance increase, this is a new microarchitecture. Also, note that the 3GS' performance mimics that of the Palm Pre - another Cortex A8 based phone.


Such nice results, Pre and G1 didnt stand a chance, especially its little iPhone 3G brother.

AT&T: No Extra Charge for iPhone MMS

Written on 12:56 PM by irockish


So a big question i'd say ever since WWDC regarding AT&T and the 3.0 update was is there going to be an extra charge for MMS. AT&T always finds a way but not in this case. If you currently have the text messaging bundle plan for your iPhone. There will be no extra charge for sending Picture Messages. Now though. MMS is not coming until later this summer as we all know by now. But I guess now the question should be when are we going to get this lovely-should've-been-here-a-long-time-ago feature?

The above image is from BGR, and one of their ninjas are reporting that there's a shortage in AT&T's supply for 3G S's!!! OH NOEZ!

Basically if you pre-ordered on Saturday 13th, 2009 and later should know that there iPhone won't be in stock till about 7-14 days after the date it was ordered. Though if you managed to be smart and pre-ordered the 3G S, your phone will still be arrived in time for the 7 A.M. opening on Friday June 19th 2009. The customers will also get an email noification when there phone is available for pick-up.

The document also says that pre-ordering is still the best option as well for a getting a 3G S, as quickly as possible.

Written on 10:58 PM by irockish


We all know by now that the iPhone is going to be faster than both the iPhone 3G and 1st gen iPhone but now the specs have been revealed that the iPhone 3G S will have 600 MHz processor bumped up from a 400 MHz like the iPhone 3G has. The RAM has also been bumped up as well from 128MB to 256MB. This is how the brand new iPhone is faster than the 3G! would be nice if we could replace the pieces in the iPhone 3G with these right?

10 New Things Coming in iPhone 3G S that you might or might not know

0

Written on 9:29 PM by irockish

"So what's new with this iPhone? It looks completely the same as my 3G?" Well thats what I'm here to talk about. The iPhone 3G S, although it looks completely like a 3G is going to have features, that Apple is too greedy about to give to us current 3G owners.

1. It's way faster
The big thing about this iPhone is Speed. Everything on this phone from opening an app to surfing the web is 2x faster than it is on the 3G. Now this is pretty good, I've seen on Apple.com's guided tour, the little walkthrough they had. It does seem quicker and faster. But network wise, not too many places will have the 7.2 speeds that the iPhone is capable of, but we'll see how AT&T will pull it off, since they started upgrading their network back in april [BGR]. Either way the faster iPhone makes me wanna upgrade and go to AT&T, (im currently on T-Mobile with a 3G]

2. Improved Camera
Although the iPhone's camera was the best 2.0 camera I've ever used, it was great. But with all the other Smartphone's coming out with 3.2 megapixel camera's like the Pre, and Storm, I think it was about time they upgraded it and with some great features. Touch to Focus, auto-macro, auto-contrast, auto-EVERYTHING!. It's much better than the 2.0 camera obviously and takes some pretty amazing features as well.

3. Video Recording
MAN! was this long overdue. Video finally coming to the iPhone officially. It was available through Cydia, but obviously required Jailbreaking. It even comes with video-editing tools as well. Right after your done recording, you get to crop it right there and share it through YouTube, MMS, Email and MobileMe. Cool right?

4. More GB Memory
While we guess right on this one huh? Every site with rumors about the next-gen iPhone had said that it was 16GB and 32GB. The best part of it is that the 16GB took the $199 price just like the ol' 8GB which got dropped down to $99. Apple's awesome in pricing!

5. You can talk to it
The iPhone 3G S has voice control, not a new innovated feature but one that Apple was lacking! Now I find this feature to be really useful but I don't get why Apple is being dumb and keeping this from the 3G? I don't know if it's a hardware issue, but Apple also said the 1st gen iPhone isnt capable of receiving MMS's when it is fully capable. MacLife went on to find the truth and this was the response they had received:
We decided to get to the root of the problem by calling up the makers of the chip–Infineon. We contacted an Infineon representative in Milpitas, CA to uncover the details. The gentleman that answered the phone kindly explained that there is no way the Infineon chip inside the original iPhone is incapable of receiving MMS since that function relies on software rather than hardware.
I guess apple was dumb enough and now left swirlyMMS in business, since they charge about 12.00, which is still dumb because 3G owners are getting it for free, but still Apple was foolish enough to say that it wasn't capable. The damn hardware was like way ahead of it's time, they said it themselves as well. Steve's on crack!

6. Internet Tethering
Now before you AT&T owners get excited, you will not be getting this feature. AT&T again not supporting it just like MMS until later this summer. I say August. But other carriers like Optus will be supporting it from day 1! At least someone's ready right?

Internet tethering of course allowing you to share the cell data connection with your laptop or desktop or mac of course through USB or Bluetooth. I'm sure there(AT&T) thinking of a way to nickel and dime you for it.

7. Built-in Compass
Seems like a silly feature although can be useful, for example the Compass app can now adjust google maps to point in the direction of which you are that way you get better location directions

Us 3G owners will still be graced by the presence of TomTom coming to the iPhone for turn-by-turn directions.

8. The New Accessibility features
These brand new features will be located in settings, and will help people with Disabilities. These new features include VoiceOver, tapping on text or certain part of the screen and the iPhone will read it to you (awww) as well as a zoom function that magnifies up to five times, and a white on black display option that provides increased contrast.

9. Nike+iPod
The iPhone 3G S will be compatible with the system, which displays real time walking or running statistics. Currently the iPod Touch 2G with this feature is now coming to the iPhone. It was bound to happen guys.

10. New headphones
The iPhone is also taking another thing from another iPod, the brand new Nano with the remote on the headphones, is coming to the iPhone as well. The standard microphone piece will be there as well to handle all your lovely phone calls

so what do you think of these new features? like em or hate em?

Yell0w Fever?

Written on 11:59 PM by irockish



As you all know the Dev-Team is the creator of yellowsn0w the iPhone soft-unlock hack that provides you to use your iPhone on any carrier you wish, here in the U.S. T-Mobile :). Well with WWDC tomorrow, there are more and more fakes/spammers/idiotic people who have no time on their hands and make blogs pretending to have "special info" from the dev-team that they haven't already said. The Dev-Team says this:

"Unfortunately, there are predators out there that are counting on your over-exuberance. Maybe we should call it yell0w fever. One very recent example is a certain yellowsn0w221 page on wordpress.com. Do not download anything from that page if you’re on a PC, else you’ll be infected with a virus. The page talks and talks about a supposed Firmware 2.2.1 yellowsn0w exploit, but it’s all a ruse to get you to download and infect your PC."

Basically what there saying is, anyone to have a special, unreleased version of the New yellowsn0w for 3.0 and such is lying. Any other news referring to the dev-team is fake as well unless they have posted it themselves on the blog.

Certain sites as well make you download stuff and gives your PC a virus. Make sure that YOU DON'T download anything from those sites, if your not sure about it, dont download it!

Any news concerning yellowsn0w unlocks or anything about that will be posted on the dev-team's blog you can also follow them on twitter here as well

WWDC tomorrow!!!

Apple's App Store Software getting more Pricey with 3.0

0

Written on 3:07 AM by irockish


image from engadget.com

If you watched the Keynote earlier this year, I'm sure you remember hearing about all the lovely features of 3.0 right? The copy and paste, the MMS finally after 2 years, all the new API's for the developers in the SDK. Well with every good thing, comes something bad.

More money! With the new SDK, developers are allowed to add in more prices to their apps. For example with games they could charge you another 5 dollars for 10 more levels on a OTA type thing. No more "FREE" updates unless currently I don't know if there's any kind developer's out there (LOL), but my guess is no. To me it's dumb because I saw in the SIMS 3 demo, the person showing the SIM walking around the house and such, walking outside. But when he had to go to his living room he had bought a stereo for a dollar, a REAL dollar. Yup, if you buy the SIMS 3 for already the normal-expensive 10 bucks you get to be able to contribute more and more to them. Which is already a 10 dollar app could turn into 40 bucks, depending on what you do or "buy"

I know that I had seen the ESPN demo with a dialog box asking for 6 or so more months of subscriptions for about another 10 bucks or 5? This gives developers the chance to put a price on everything. Army based apps for example, $0.99 for a bazooka, $0.99 for a upgrade on a Hummer. Things like that, I don't really like, and I think it could turn out bad for the App Store as well too. I don't think that too many of the app store consumers are going to be happy about this.

With WWDC right around the corner we'll finally be able to see what's up apple's sleeve.

Watch the March 17th Event

New iPhone to be launch on monday after WWDC?!

0

Written on 2:56 AM by irockish



Sites around the internet are buzzing around saying that not only would us iPhone owners not only get the new 3.0 firmware upgrade at WWDC, but also the New iPhone (insert name here) to launch after WWDC? It's unlikely for me seeing as how Apple always and for the past two years has introduced the product then released it. The first gen iPhone being announced in January, and being available late June. As well as the iPhone 3G being announced at last years WWDC and being available in July. Apple always does suprise us though, and with Palm's Pre to launch today (June 6th 2009) Apple could possibly be wanting to have some competition. But let's face it, I doubt the Pre will do better than the iPhone for sure.
