Download iPhone Apps Files Programs

The ubiquitous iPhone-hacking-for-dummies utility, iFuntastic (that’s not an insult, by the way; we use it ourselves), has come out of the gates in its third major iteration today. This stands in sharp contrast to Apple’s efforts, which have yielded two super-minor firmware updates for the iPhone since its launch, but we digress. Anyway, iFuntastic v3 adds support for PowerPC G4 and G5-based systems, home screen editing with custom wallpaper, a new jailbreaking technique called “unshackling,” and improved custom ringtone support. As of this writing iPhoneAlley appears to be down — likely due to a deluge of downloads, we suspect — but there are other joints around the ‘nets where you can grab the goodness. As always, our two disclaimers get slapped on this one: user beware, and enjoy!

In case it wasn’t plainly obvious yet, Deutsche Telekom has finally confirmed that it’s been in official talks with Apple to bring the iPhone to its German T-Mobile subsidiary — though it has nothing specific to report about the outcome of those talks. T-Mobile Germany’s CEO did say, however, that he fully expects Apple to make official European partner announcements “well ahead” of the holidays in an effort to cash in on the Festivus cheer. Concurrently, word is spreading that Italy’s TIM may be involved in talks, too, making Apple reps a very busy group east of the pond these past few weeks. Whether there’ll be any 3G involved remains to be seen, but either way, it looks like there will be plenty of some kind of iPhone going around Europe by year’s end.

You know a device has hit milestones in popularity when Vaja makes a case for it. Not that there was really any doubt that the iPhone wasn’t going to end up being as uber-popular as it is. But just incase you didn’t know, the iPhone is crazy popular, and as a result there are now several Vaja cases for it. The first one we’re going to look at here on The Gadgeteer is the iVolution Holster.

You’ve seen the hack, now see the FAQ. In it the iPhoneSIMfree free guys answer many of the questions we already got to (Is it restore-resistant? Yes. Which features don’t work? Just Visual Voicemail. Does it work with 1.0.2? Yes. Etc.), and a few we’ve all been eagerly awaiting the answers to:

• Can I unlock it before the AT&T registration process?
  Yes.
• What is the process the end user will go through?
  Currently our initial release will require that the end user activate and “jail break” in order to place our app on the phone. (We are working toward a fully automated PC / Mac application to be released shortly after launch).
• Do you offer 100% money back guarantee if the software does not work?
  The unlock WILL work. We cannot offer any guarantee should Apple, Inc. choose to re-lock the phone after a future update.

And the 64k question:

• When can I get it?
  We are hoping to release in the next 48-72 hours.

We’ll let you know when we hear more.

Considering how much amusement can be had by using the MacBook Pro’s accelerometers for completely unintended purposes, it stands to reason that hacking into the iPhone’s sensors would be a virtually endless font of entertainment. It also stood to reason that it was just a matter of time before the ever-persistent hacking community broke its determined way into said sensors, and sure enough, here we have it. Like the successful coder says, the power of the iPhone’s 3-axis accelerometer is largely untapped in the OS itself, so it’ll be great fun to see what sorts of crazy business the homebrew folks can dream up. Get to work, everyone! Check the full video after the break.

There’s never any substitute for independent verification, but we can understand why the UniquePhones crew wanted to whip up a video depicting the SIM unlock of an iPhone using their still-unreleased solution. With almost a half million signed up to be notified of the hack’s release, to say they’re getting harshed on by the tech community for the MIA unlock software is kind of an understatement. Despite the five points we’re giving their crew for the effort, this is the part where the conspiracy theorists in the house are sure to chime in about the impossibility of an honest to goodness iPhone SIM unlock video produced by a company that specializes in unlocking phones. Well, fret not, we’re still waiting eagerly to put the spurs to the hack ourselves, and we’ll let you know in short order as soon as (or if ever) we snag it. Oh, video after the break.

Sick of holding your iPod, iPhone, or other portable video player in your lap like a chump while all the other cool cats in the plane/train/automobile sit their portable devices in a trendy yet elegant stand? DIY web site Instructables details how you can make your own iPhone or iPod stand on the super cheap with nothing but a business card. The results are neither trendy nor elegant, but the price is right. Tried it this morning and it worked like a charm.

aalobode writes “Do Apple and AT&T have the legal right to stop hackers from selling unlocked iPhones? Under their terms, only AT&T may sell iPhones, and Apple gets a commission. When unlocked iPhones are used on other providers’ networks, AT&T and hence Apple get nothing beyond what they earned on the initial sale of the hardware. Can they prohibit unlocking? Reselling? The article in Businessweek gives the for and against arguments, but leans toward the view that the hackers may have the law on their side for once.”

The Apple class-action party continues folks, this time featuring a disgruntled New York State customer named Herbert H. Kliegerman, who claims that the Cupertino giant failed to adequately disclose information pertaining to the “locked” nature of the iPhone and the roaming charges which might be incurred if a user was to take the device overseas. According to the 9-page suit, which was filed Monday in a New York Supreme Court, Kliegerman traveled to Mexico a few weeks after purchasing the phone, where he proceeded to check e-mails and make calls, blissfully unaware (or so the suit tells us) that AT&T would be charging international roaming fees for the usage. Apparently, when Mr. Kliegerman received his bill, he was shocked to discover $2,000 in the aforementioned fees. The suit argues that if he had been allowed to unlock the phone and use a foreign SIM card, the costs could have been avoided. As a result, Mr. Kliegerman is seeking a judgement which bars Apple from selling locked iPhones, plus an order for the company to offer unlock codes to all current owners. Perhaps Mr. Kliegerman should call these dudes.

Hey, that’s what they claim: $100,000 in cold hard cash for the right to freely distribute the iPhone unlocking software onto the Nets. Full credit given to the creator(s) of course with a proposed release date of Wed night at 12:00am (in some unspecified time zone). No details as to who is financial backing the offer or how payments will be made, only a single email address posted for discussing the details. Hear that UniquePhones and IPhoneSIMfree, here’s your chance to make a buck and avoid a legal tussle with AT&T / Apple. Of course, anyone can launch a Blogspot site announcing pretty much anything they’d like. If nothing else, the move illustrates perfectly the demand for the software unlock to be released for general consumption. Let’s hope it means more.
