Just got this email from Apple enlightening me about the new iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 2 firmware and SDK bits which are now available for download through the iPhone Dev Center. This version is for development and testing purposes only and should be installed on devices dedicated to iPhone OS 3.1 software development.
A Russian Developer iWert from iSoft team has used a x86 compatible emulator on the iPhone to get Windows 95 running on his iPhone 3G! As you can expect the performance was fairly low and booting Windows 95 took about 5 to 10 minutes.
Ever wondered how could you use your iPod Touch as a iPhone to make phone calls? iPhone and iPod Touch are almost exactly the same kind of devices except for one major difference and that is that iPhone can be used to make phone calls while iPod Touch cant. The following step by step guide will help you in using your iPod Touch as a fully-featured VoIP phone without spending a dime!
Skype on iPhone includes tons of features, but unfortunately it lacks Push Notification feature which is introduced with iPhone 3.0. This makes the app pretty much useless for most users. The lack of Push Notification support basically defeats much of the purpose of having Skype on iPhone because unlike other phones, iPhone cannot do multitasking which means the app wont notify you when someone is calling.
The following steps will help you setup Skype to run in the background so that you can receive incoming calls from your Skype contacts even when the phone is switched to sleep mode.
After the release of iPhone OS 3.0, Apple fixed 46 security bugs. That gives you a hint of the amount of loop holes Apple has left in the operating system. Imagine the amount of harm it might have caused to the iPhone users without their knowledge.
It was just about a week ago when Apple removed the application HottestGirls right after its launch. Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr told CNN on 25 June 2009 that the application had been removed and that Apple will not distribute p0rn or other inappropriate content.
Apple has seeded a testing build of iPhone OS 3.1 to its developers. This version is for development and testing purposes only and should be installed on devices dedicated to iPhone OS 3.1 beta software development. This new beta build doesn't seem like that much of a huge update or a needed update to me, but these extra speed boosts and bug fixes are certainly welcome.
We all know the lies Apple made when they said that the first-gen iPhone cannot do MMS due to hardware limitation. Leaving out the first-gen iPhone users in the cold was a planned move than anything else. They wanted you to spend more bucks to buy a new device even when the older one could perfectly do the job. Same goes for video recording as well.
Some users who have recently updated/restored to the new iPhone firmware 3.0 have reported to have got into a problem where their phone randomly doesn't ring when there is a call nor does the keyboard or slide to unlock button sound anymore. I got into this problem as well after unlocking and jailbreaking my iPhone 3G with firmware 3.0, my iPhone suddenly stopped ringing on calls randomly, resulting in missing a lot of important calls.
The infamous Dev-Team has finally released the much awaited ultrasn0w for iPhone 3G users which will enable you to unlock your iPhone 3G. Follow the steps below to unlock your iPhone 3G running iPhone OS firmware 3.0.
