In the ocean of the social networking services, especially among dekstop-based users, Facebook is quite popular. And it also goes with mobile users. It’s reported that Facebook for iPhone is the service’s most popular application.

Facebook have revealed that, out of its 4 million daily mobile users, their Facebook for iPhone mobile client sees approximately 1.64 million daily active users, compared to the Facebook for Blackberry app which has has approximately 1.56 million daily users.

Launched and hit the App Store at July last year, Facebook for iPhone client could access to more technology than Facebook iPhone websites. With the native application, for example, you can take photos and upload them instantly to your Mobile Uploads album on Facebook.

Facebook for iPhone works with the original iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPhone 3G. You can download the application for free from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at www.itunes.com/appstore/

Rotating SpringBoard

Το model number του 1st gen iPhone είναι: “iPhone 1,1”
Το model number του iPhone 3G είναι: “iPhone 1,2”

To model number του 1st gen iPod Touch είναι: “iPod 1,1”
Το model number του 2nd gen iPod Touch είναι: “iPod 2,1”

To νέο model number “iPhone 2,1” το οποίο αναφέρεται στο USBDeviceConfiguration.plist μίας unencrypted firmware v2.x τι είναι;
Μήπως ένα νέο iPhone το οποίο ετοιμάζεται από την Apple;

Επιπλέον, τα model number “iPhone2,1″ έχουν εντοπιστεί και από τις διαφημιστικές αναφορές της PinchMedia:

Η Dev Team έδωσε σε κυκλοφορία τα QuickPwn v2.2.5 for Mac (download link) - QuickPwn v2.2.5.2 for Windows (download link) - PwnageTool v2.2.5 for Mac (download link) τα οποία αναμέναμε για να μπορέσουμε να κάνουμε Jailbreak την firmware v2.2.1:

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone running 2.2 firmware and you want to keep your ability to use yellowns0w (or the option to use it in the future) do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Yellowsn0w will NOT work with the baseband version (02.30.03) that is present in the recent 2.2.1 update - you will need to create a custom ipsw that will allow you to update safely without affecting the baseband.
3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
6. These apps are suitable for the recent 2.2.1 release.
7. The Yellowsn0w version has been updated to 0.9.7. Yellowsn0w is available from Cydia or Installer - this version allows compatibility with pwned 2.2.1 system (not baseband) - again - remember 0.9.7 yellowsn0w DOES NOT WORK WITH 2.2.1 (02.30.03) directly - you need to be running a ‘pwned’ version of 2.2.1 which doesn’t upgrade the baseband.
8. Users of OS X 10.5.6 will be unable to use DFU mode correctly, please see the note towards the end of this post to easily fix this issue.

Baseband 101

The ‘baseband’ is the generic name given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 2.2.1 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband. This could be bad for certain people, depending on your ultimate aim.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G

This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2.1 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too.

Locked iPhone 3G - Preserve Baseband

This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2.1 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will ensure that you can still use “yellowsn0w” the iPhone 3G unlock application. To upgrade your phone to 2.2.1 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.1

Please note: PwnageTool is only available for Mac OS X.

Locked iPhone 3G

If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2.1 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.

iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Update or Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said, you don’t need to worry about anything.

iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Update to 2.2.1 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.

iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time, but Redsn0w is being developed.

Fixing DFU mode on 10.5.6

As noted previously OS X 10.5.6 introduced a bug that affected the use of DFU mode. There have been previously published hacks and techniques to fix this, but there is another method that can be used to easily restore functionality.

1. You will need an account with ADC (Apple Developer Connection) this is free and takes a few minutes to sign up, you should read the terms and conditions carefully and you should only sign up if you are thinking of developing applications in the future - http://developer.apple.com/mac/
2. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily Log release for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33” (yes, that is a “5” in 10.5.5 - this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).
3. Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image
4. Reboot your system!

Ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα πράγματα που πραγματικά λείπουν από το iPhone είναι η δυνατότητα Copy / Paste.
Στο παρελθόν έχουν γίνει μερικές προσπάθειες άλλα καμιά τους δεν είχε τόσο καλή τύχη. Το Clippy όμως φαίνεται να είναι διαφορετικό, μιας και προσθέτει στο πληκτρολόγιο του συστήματος δυο πλήκτρα, ένα για copy και ένα για paste !
Φυσικά έχει μερικά ελαττώματα άλλα σίγουρα είναι καλύτερο από το τίποτα.

Apple has not launched a new firmware for quite sometime (not even a small update) since the release of 2.2 version So, we all are excited about the

new features coming in the next release but, the leaked feature list doesn't seem to be doing much justice with our aspirations!

Though none of these new features have been confirmed in anyway, they seem to be enough for a small update. First, this new update will include a number of bug fixes which an end-user would rarely even notice. These fixes include fixing the super slow sync speeds which many users (including me) face daily on a PC. The new features are not really big, but include certain interface changes in the SMS application interface and some new features for the Mail application targeting the Corporate users. Another feature which is said to be under beta is deleting all mails at once rather than selecting each in the Mail application. This new version is speculated to release in the upcoming few weeks.

Also, there is another rumor that the next major 2.3 update, which has no confirmed release date will include some sort of option for Bluetooth synchronization with iTunes - but I think this is highly unlikely due to Apple's non-seriousness about other bluetooth issues on iPhone.

Επιτέλους η RipDev έδωσε σε κυκλοφορία τον (σταθερό) Installer 4 έπειτα από αρκετές Beta εκδόσεις:

“It’s been a while and we’re proud to announce the immediate availability of Installer 4.0.

Since its last public beta, it has come underway a significant change — for starters, we have added Greek, Russian and Ukranian localizations, redone the interface for speed, fixed a bunch of bugs and made it so it can bear the tag “4.0″. And yes, we’re proud of what we have done — largely with your feedback.

This doesn’t ends the evolution of Installer — actually, this actually begins the road of improvements we have planned, so… stay tuned.”

Tα τελευταία 24ωρα η Apple έχει αρχίσει να εγκρίνει εφαρμογές web browsingγια το iPhone από τρίτους κατασκευαστές. Φαίνεται ότι αυτές οι εφαρμογές είχαν μπει στην ‘αναμονή’ καθώς κάποιες από τις εφαρμογές αυτές είχαν κατατεθεί από τον Οκτώβρη.

Η Apple αποφάσισε να επιτρέψει τέτοιες εφαρμογές ανοίγοντας έτσι το δρόμο στα Opera και Firefox για τις δικές τους mobile εκδοχές για το iPhone αν και πρέπει να ξεπεραστούν και άλλοι περιορισμοί του SDK.

Kάποιες από τις εφαρμογές είναι οι εξής:

- Edge Browser (Free) - No loss of screen real estate to the address or navigation bars.
- Incognito ($1.99) - Now you can browse without leaving a history of any kind.
- WebMate:Tabbed Browser ($0.99) - Web Mate simplifies browsing by queuing up all the links you click on, then allowing you to view them one by one when you’re ready.
- Shaking Web ($1.99) - adds a sophisticated algorithm to compensate for small hand shaking to allow for easier reading.

Αν και μεσάνυχτα ώρα Ελλάδας οι εξελίξεις τρέχουν στην άλλη άκρη του Ατλαντικού με τον Steve Jobs να ανακοινώνει την αποχώρηση του από το τιμόνι της Apple για έξι μήνες με σκοπό να αντιμετωπίσει τα προβλήματα υγείας που επιβεβαίωσε πως έχει πριν λίγες εβδομάδες. Είναι σίγουρο πως θα έχουμε πολλά να πούμε τις επόμενες ώρες για τη συγκεκριμένη είδηση, για την ώρα σας επισυνάπτω την ανακοίνωση του Jobs στους υπαλλήλους της Apple.

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my
health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve
