iPhone Pwnage 2.1

ICYC, iPhone Pwnage 2.1 is out and works like a charm.
My phone seems more stable, but it’s only been a few hours since I’ve done it, so we’ll see. I’m hoping it addresses the slowness and increased application crashes I’d been experiencing since going to 2.x. That being said, the wireless Exchange syncing [...]

iPhone Pwnage for 2.0.1

Last night, they released the new Pwnage tool, and this morning, I went and done did it.
As in my prior post on the subject, this one was fairly straightforward. Only difference is this time I used Expert Mode, which allowed me to turn off the pineapple logo at boot (the logo always seemed cheesy [...]

Wordpress iPhone App

Hey, there’s a Wordpress app for iPhone. Get it at the App Store, it’s free.
Guess how I’m writing this post.

Another iPhone Jailbreak/Unlock

My little 4GB 1st Gen iPhone has gone through a few upgrades, jailbreaks and unlocks, and tonight I did another.
The iPhone Dev Team released their tool, and it works. It’s not as nice and simple as the last tool I used, but it does the job. It just required a little more footwork.
First [...]

iPhone Redux

Ever since my first Jailbreak and Unlock of my iPhone, I’ve remained locked at firmware 1.0.2. Today, I took the plunge, because it just got obscenely easy.
iJailBreak is literally a one-click Jailbreak/Unlock. I fired up iTunes, upgraded my phone to 1.1.3 (no revirginizing required, hooray), then ran iJailBreak. 3 minutes later, I [...]

The French can buy an unlocked iPhone

French iPhone buyers may choose Orange or unlocked – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
So… angry…
Wouldn’t it be grand if we had laws like that?

Check your mail on the iPhone more frequently than once every 15 minutes

In moving to the iPhone, I gave up ‘Push’ e-mail, and I’m eager to get it back. The once every 15 minutes model offered by the iPhone isn’t quite fast enough for urgent issues, and despite claims that Yahoo’s Mail is “Push” on the iPhone, I just don’t see it. Maybe it only [...]

iPhone 1.1.1 Jailbreak accomplished.

TUAW announces progress in the quest to unshackle the 1.1.1 iPhones. Hooray!
Still, stay away from 1.1.1 if you’re unlocking or using apps.

Services.app released — control Edge/WiFi/Bluetooth/sshd

Services.app showed up a couple of days back. It’s very nice.
I’m going to be in Europe for a few days in November, and wondered how I’d go about leaving my phone on, making use of WiFi where I could, but not have my Edge data connection active. The 1.1.1 firmware lets you prevent [...]

It begins

As I expected, a class action has been filed.
The iPhone isn’t the first carrier-locked device — I was a longtime Sidekick user which us why I’m with T-Mobile now — but the iPhone is significantly higher profile and Danger wasn’t bricking hacked sidekicks. As a side note, I [...]
