Wow, that was fast! The iPhone Dev Team has confirmed that the jailbreak for the iPhone 3.0 is ready. Jailbreak means that you will be able to run all the third party apps you want after applying it. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until the official release of the firmware scheduled on summer.
P.S. YellowSnow for the firmware 3.0 is not ready yet.
Apple unveiled yesterday iPhone 3G. It has much better functionality and twice cheaper than the old version.
The new quad-band iPhone 3G gives users fast Internet access over tri-band HSDPA. Automatically switches between 3G, Wi-Fi and EDGE, the iPhone 3G makes it easy to multi-task with simultaneous voice and data communications.
iPhone 3G has a built-in GPS, which allows customers to find their location, get directions, and see traffic.
An 8GB black case model will sell for $199 starting, while a 16GB white case optional model will cost $299.
Check this out! French iPhone blog iPhon.fr posted a couple of photos of what they claim to be the upcoming 3G iPhone. Well, it definitely looks like one, but it also could be a counterfeit or a Photoshop mock-up.
The iPhone Atlas made a report recently concerning the unlocked iPhone from Orange.
They said it may still be locked to some French carriers, basing on words of Orange spokesperson Louis-Michel Aymard. But we wouldn’t jump into conclusions. Remember what Orange said: “Once legally (through Orange Customer Service) unlocked, the iPhone will operate with any SIM card, including foreign ones. But some applications like ‘Visual Voice Mail’ may not work abroad.”
So there you have it, the alarm is probably false. We’ll keep you up-to-date…
Jajah, a VoIP provider, has developed a new web application that adds IP telephony to the iPhone. It has a UI similar to the one of the iPhone, though the use of the service itself isn’t that simple. Once you’ve selected a contact, the program calls that person via VoIP, a then calls you back when the other party is online. Furthermore, when making these calls you spent your own minutes. In other words, long-distance service is the best use for this app. So, if you’re interested, please visit http://www.jajah.com .
Remember the Meizu M8 MiniOne, the best iPhone clone from a Chinese manufacturer? Well, it will soon be available in the U.S., more precisely in February, after the CES event. The device will most likely be 3G-enabled, which I know will irritate some people , and will feature up to 16GB of storage. It might even become a big hit, as too many people here wait for the 3G iPhone, and Meizu in its turn offers a perfect substitute.
