Still want Google Voice? Get it for free via Cydia (jailbreak) They said yesterday that they would put it on Cydia and last night, ‘poof’ it appeared. I downloaded the app and it seems to work fine so far. So go get it already! Do not know what I’m talking about? Well Google Voice was submitted to the Apple Store, which was personally approved last April… Read More
Alternative to iTunes is here!! Oh wait.. Spotify is only in Europe As I’ve said before, I do not like iTunes, so I have been waiting for a good replacement. I REALLY hate that I cannot make changes to my playlist unless I’m connect to the ONE machine that has my playlist. Bollocks! There have been many I’ve played with, but I knew about Spotify (a Swedish… Read More
Augmented Reality Apps for iphone not coming till 3.1. Gezz Read this in the LA Times. No Augmented Reality Apps till iphone 3.1 comes out. Why? Because part of what make this work is a function called ‘camera viewer’. This is a ‘restricted’ function and we should be playing with it. But, when 3.1 comes out, we can! huh? What difference does that make? Sure… Read More
New map options on the iphone? Part of Latitude? It might be. I just noticed today that when I go to maps I get a pop up for my location that allows me to share it out via email. I’m sure this is part of 3.0 and why I have noticed it till now I have no idea. If it IS new, then I’m… Read More
Having lockup problems with intelliscreen and push notifications? Me too It seems intelliscreen can lockup if you get a push calendar notification as from exchange if you have unread email. The problem is when you get an alert, intelliscreen will ‘flip up’ so show the alert and a button to dismiss it. However, if you have unread email, you cannot access the slide bar to… Read More

Ultra customize (pimp) your iphone with Supreme Preferences I’m not a big ‘pimping’ kind of guy when it comes to my iphone. In fact, I tend to keep as many thing off it as I can in order to increase speed (I’m the same with my desktop/laptops). However, when I saw ‘Supreme Preferences’ in Cydia last night, I thought I would give it… Read More
Jailbreaking the iphone 3gs – purplera1n This did not take long did it? But the funny thing is that it did not come from the Dev-team, but instead instead from George Hotz. Now this is windows only (sorry mac people) but I’m sure it will be ported soon enough. Now remember this is 3.0, so if you are running the 3.1… Read More

Cut and Paste on the iPhone makes Evernote useful.. well more useful I do not use Evernote much, despite having it on my desktop and iphone. However, I REALLY wish I could edit text in the cloud from the iphone, but Evernote just never made it into my workflow, instead I use Google Docs. Well, now with cut and paste being easier to use, I found myself… Read More

How I upgraded my iphone 3G to 3.0 using Pwnage Tool First off, I’m not your typical user, and if you read my blog you would know this; I use jailbreak and LOVE it. However, I also cannot resist experimenting with the iPhone, so once I felt satisfied I heard the jailbreak for 3.0 was relatively stable, I decided to go for it. However, just as an… Read More
Twitpocalypse claims more iPhone victims then I would have guessed Its not like we were not warned or anything. I knew this was coming 2 weeks ago. Twitpocalypse is twitters version of Y2K where the unique identifier associated to each tweet will exceed 2,147,483,647. This afternoon, I spend all of 10 min fixing the db in twittFilter to handle the changes and all good. (lux… Read More
Notes from WWDC2009.. HTML5 and Video I’m not going to go over everything, you can find that anywhere.. I’m instead going to look at a few things that I think are really interesting… HTML5 support! Why is this so important? HTML5 is like having flash lite without the plug-in! (I still wish I had flash though). But take a look at… Read More
How to make a simple iphone app that will sell. Just put sexy in the title I was reading a rant on Gizmodo by Jesus Diaz , talking about buying ‘sexy screen wash’ and it started me thinking, who buys this stuff?? I mean it’s pretty obvious it’s crap because it’s in the Apple Store. Now once we get a rating system in place (my proposal here) then we may see a bit more… Read More

Now since I have folders, I do not see everything, but still, kinda cool. 🙂 That is all. {update} I was just made aware that this is part of backgrounder. Which makes sense when you think… Read More
Why PdaNet, iPhone tethering and Jailbreak rocks!! Again!! Yes, AGAIN, PdaNet to the rescue. At the 140tc conference today, the wireless was in and out. I needed to do some updates to twittfilter and the FTP updates failed because of the wireless. I then gave up on the wireless and pulled out the trusty PdaNet app. Here is a hint though, if you… Read More
Slingplayer coming to the iphone… for 30 bucks And it might be worth it.. Not for me, but for some people. But what is interesting here is that price point of $30. Personally, for $30, I can see people paying for this even though the normal ‘top’ price is $10, except for one issue. Its wifi only! No 3G. So now recast the… Read More
Measure height, width and depth of objects with your iphone .. well kinda This is pretty cleaver. Its not a new app, but something that just passed my notice. Now given that I also have a macro lens and clearcam, I can get pretty good images. The only problem is, the touch screen is not very accurate. Now if you do not need a precise measurement, its actually… Read More
