Intelliscreen brings "Today Screen" functionality to iPhone

Wed, 14 May 2008 19:00:11 +0000

The iPhone lacks many things that have come to be taken for granted by many mobile enthusiasts. A functional "Today Screen" that displays at-a-glance information is one of the features that Apple failed to include in their first handset offering. But, that doesn't mean the prolific iPhone developer community is going to sit idly by [...]

GeoPedia - location based iPhone application that has Wikipedia following your iPhone

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 23:02:25 +0000

Now this is one of the coolest third-party, native iPhone applications that I've yet to see. GeoPedia is basically a location-based Wikipedia interface for your iPhone. With the iPhone's (v1.1.3 and up) Google Maps My Location feature, iPhone users can hone in on their approximate location. It's not GPS accurate, but it can usually find the [...]

Jailbreakme.com updated to make iPhone v1.1.1 jailbreak simpler, one-click solution

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:40:21 +0000

We’d be willing to bet that most iPhone owners out there that keep up to date with the iPhone-related posts have already jailbroken their iPhone v1.1.1. Further, chances are even better that iPhone v1.1.1 users have jailbroken their handsets using the Jailbreakme.com web-based solution. Now that the iPhone v1.1.3 jailbreak method is online and greatly simplified (thanks to the iJailbreakMobile application available on Installer.app), we’re willing to bet that many iPhone v1.1.3 owners will be looking to downgrade their handsets to v1.1.1 in preparation for a jailbroken v1.1.3 upgrade. If you haven’t already done so, hit up our iPhone v1.1.3 jailbreak/downgrade guide . Well, we’ve just got word that jailbreakme.com is helping to streamline the process of jailbreaking your v1.1.1 iPhone and updating to a jailbroken v1.1.2. Once you’ve downgraded to the iPhone v1.1.1 firmware and you’re ready to jailbreak the sucker, just head on over to jailbreakme.com (from your iPhone’s Safari browser) and click “Install AppSnapp.” The jailbreakme.com application now installs Oktoprep automatically, obviating the need to install the Oktoprep package prior to updating to the iPhone v1.1.2 firmware. It’s a small update, but it makes life that much easier for enterprising iPhone fiddlers. Go forth and jailbreak, people! ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Apple iPhone v1.1.1 jailbreak is now one-clickable - AppSnapp automates the jailbreak processiNdependence v1.2.2 released - iPhone v1.1.1 activation/jailbreak GUI for Mac OS XInstaller.app v3.0 beta released - iPhone v1.1.1 third-party application installeriPhone v1.1.2 jailbreak updated with activation and PowerPC supportiDemocracy - the semi-automatic iPhone v1.1.1 jailbreak solution for Windows PC

HOT: iPhone v1.1.3 firmware already jailbroken - full read/write access to filesystem; native third-party applications

Sat, 19 Jan 2008 20:09:09 +0000

Welp, that’s the game, folks! Just days after the third-party application-killing iPhone v1.1.3 firmware was released , the iPhone developing/hacking community has already put together a legit jailbreak solution for all iPhones and iPod Touches running v1.1.3 code. Apparently, some firmware code-digging has revealed that Apple’s codename for the v1.1.3 firmware is “LittleBear” - now that’s cute. Now, the jailbreak (which allows full read/write access to the iPhone’s file-system, and thus allows native third-party applications to be installed) solution has been deemed by its developers as too complex for public consumption. That means there is no public jailbreak solution available, but rest assured that this major milestone in iPhone v1.1.3 development puts a public jailbreak solution on track for a near-term release. Just in case you’re more cynic than enthusiast, check out the video clip of a jailbroken iPod Touch, running the v1.1.3 firmware, and demonstrating some Installer.app goodness. The jailbreak solution has been confirmed to work on both iPhones and iPod Touches.

iPhone v1.1.2 jailbreak updated with activation and PowerPC support

Mon, 19 Nov 2007 20:58:58 +0000

The one thing about the iPhone v1.1.2 jailbreak was that it only worked with legit, AT&T activated iPhones on Intel-based Mac machines. Well that’s all changed with the newest update to the iPhone v1.1.2 jailbreak. The new jailbreak solution will now activate (allows you to bypass the “Connect to iTunes” screen and use the iPhone without an AT&T contract) your iPhone and works with PowerPC-based Mac machines. If you still haven’t jailbroken (jailbreaked?) your iPhone v1.1.2, here’s your chance.

iPhone v1.1.2 already jailbroken - simple, touch-free jailbreak solution for iPhone v1.1.2

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:42:19 +0000

That’s right! The iPhone v1.1.2 firmware is now officially jailbroken. The new firmware’s only been officially available to US iPhone users for what seems like a minute and the developer community has already opened it up to third-party applications. With the r eturn of homemade ringtones to v1.1.2 iPhones paired with iTunes 7.5, we previously mentioned that we’d hold off on updating to the new firmware until it was successfully jailbroken. So, it looks like we’ll be making the jump to iPhone v1.1.2 post-haste. The iPhone v1.1.2 jailbreak software is compatible with both Windows and Mac and will handle your Installer.app installation needs. Short of truly one-click GUI jailbreak solution for iPhone v1.1.2, this newest jailbreak from Conceited Software should give anyone that has at least a passing familiarity with terminal commands an easy way to bring third-party apps to the new iPhone firmware. Here’s the rundown on jailbreaking your iPhone v1.1.2:

Jailbreak your iPhone v1.1.1 with this one-click web-app , if you haven’t already done so (oh, and update to iPhone v1.1.1 if you’re still using v1.0.2 - it doesn’t hurt, we promise)
Fire up Installer.app and find “Oktoprep” under “All Packages”
Download and Install Oktoprep
Connect to iTunes and update to iPhone v1.1.2
Open up terminal window and navigate to your “1.1.2-jailbreak” folder (”cd desktop/1.1.2-jailbreak” for example)
Run the appropriate software (”windows.bat” for Windows machines, or “./osx” for Macs)
Sit back and in a few minutes you’ll be enjoying your newly updated and jailbroken iPhone with home-brewed ringtone support.
