Με έναν ενδιαφέρον συνδιασμό φήμης/είδησης,το Gizmodo κυκλοφόρησε ένα concept για την επόμενη version του iPhone (δες την εικόνα).

Πραγματικά δείχνει πολύ όμορφο, με πιο τετραγωνισμένη σχεδίαση από το ήδη υπάρχων μοντέλο(τετράγωνο είναι ο καινούργιος κύκλος σύμφωνα με πολλούς σχεδιαστές), βελτιωμένη κάμερα και μεγαλύτερη μνήμη.

• Titanium and Glass with an OLED screen
• Front camera for iChat
• Removable battery
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• 32 GB

Έχετε κατα νου οτι αυτό είναι ένα ανεπίσημο concept και το πιό πιθανό είναι να μην κυκλοφορήσει ποτέ!. Τι πιστεύετε, εσείς οι αναγνώστες μας, για το όραμα του νέου iPhone?

iPhone Firmware .ipsw Files‘ page updated:

NEW v2.2.1 iPhone1,1_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw (1st gen iPhone)

NEW v2.2.1 iPhone1,2_2.2.1_5H11_Restore.ipsw (iPhone 3G)

Μεταφέρετε εύκολα και γρήγορα αρχεία από τον υπολογιστή σας Mac στο iPhone σας με την εφαρμογή File Magic!!!

File Magic from SplashData is one of several file transfer apps available now in the App Store. By purchasing this iPhone app for $4,99 and downloading the free desktop app from its website, you can drag and drop your files from your desktop to your iPhone magically.

How it works?

1. Launch File Magic on the desktop and the handheld. The handheld application will ask you to allow the connection.
2. Drag and drop any file into the File Magic desktop and it will be transferred over Wi-Fi to the device.
3. Tap the folder, then the file you wish to view on the handheld.

According to the iPhone Blog, transferring the files through this app couldn’t be easier - just use the drag-and-drop interface on the File Magic Desktop app and the files will “magically” appear on your iPhone File Magic app via your WiFi connection.

Worth trying.

Σύμφωνα με μία πρόσφατη συνέντευξη της Adobe, ο flash player είναι στα σκαριά με συνεργασία Apple - Adobe! Και αν επιτρέψει η Apple θα κυκλοφορήσει σύντομα!

According to a recent interview given by Adobe, Flash for the iPhone is in the works, and will be released (if Apple approves it).

They claim they’ll have to create a custom version for the iPhone; the regular version is too resource-intensive for Apple’s taste.

It’s been in development since June 2008, according to Adobe.

Frankly, it’s about time. With the competition pursuing Flash, Apple had to cave a bit and start developing to add it to the iPhone’s feature list. Now it’s only a question of when this “custom job” will be complete. No timetable was given for the custom version’s release.

This would open the door for lots of new development and application flexibility, and various sites to be more compatible with the iPhone, which would be a welcome note for developers.

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/

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.
