Well, technically it was the second day, but what fun is that given that Sunday was Easter?  So we have a proof of concept break out there using ‘Spirit’ by a hack0r called MuscleNerd.

Jailbreak the ipad?  Oh yea!  From what I’ve heard, we should have a blackra1n or some other jailbreaking or pwning tool pretty soon after the ipad hits the street.  I would guess the iPad is going to run some form of 3.1.3 or perhaps we should just call it 3.2 because you know they will… Read More


I just saw a video of the new Opera Mini running on the iPhone!  I cannot wait!!!  This is the first app for the iphone, including jailbroken ones, that really has me excited.  It was submitted today, so we’ll see if Apple will allow it and when. Surfing on the iphone has been a major… Read More


Does it work for you? Normally, when I write about jailbreaking I’m trying to report the news or talk about interesting app.  However, in this case, I’m asking for feedback. I have a friend who foolishly updated to 3.1.3 and lost his unlock.  He gave me his phone and I tried blackra1n.  5 times!  Nothing. … Read More


I’m not a big sports fan of BBall, I’m more of Collage football type, but the Cal Bears are in the big dance this year and I did the office brackets, so what the heck. First step?  Download an app for the iPhone of course.  I did fail at step one though, I tried doing… Read More


So let me count how many people are surprised by this… Show of hands??   Hmmm just you in the back?  Work for Microsoft?  Yea, ok figured.  Just a quick look around San Francisco and you can see the number of Android phones are starting to make enough of an impression that they are starting to… Read More


For those of us that are jailbroken, special dialers are pretty much old hat, although I still love, and miss, my payphone dialer.  I lost track of where I got it and now cannot find it, but I did not try all that hard. So now comes along an iphone app that will give you… Read More


Now this is useful.  I know full on that when I shoot video with my iphone it’s not always the most stable in the world. And although there are desktop apps I can use to fix it, it would be nice to do that on the phone directly. Well welcome to Smooth Movie.  I have… Read More


Augmented reality apps on mobile has been news off and on over the last few months. There are have been a series of cool apps, and I even posted part of an article I write for iphoneLife here. But even with the parade of cool new apps, we have only just touched on the possibilites. … Read More

My how things have changed.  I just got a tweet from Andrew Stone that his app Twittelator got approved in 7 hours!!  Wow, a new record.  Well, ok, perhaps not a gold metal type new record, but that is still pretty fast. So the question is; how? Well lets think about it.  What if Apple… Read More


I’m normally not one to get excited about a social media app for the iphone.. ok, I’m almost never excited.  But I just saw Meebo’s new app previews in Techcrunch and what I like is its simplicity combined with multiple account support.  Its seem that this is also pretty darn fast, and that is what… Read More


{Update} The Spirit jailbreak for 3.1.3 and 3.2 is out. It only took 5 days. I think we are getting a little spoiled now because jailbreaking a new release in under a week is almost expected. Of course, this is just a minor update, so we should not be all that surprised. There are two… Read More


Just came across this new Facebook feature on my iphone today.  I clicked on ‘update’ but did not select ‘overwrite’ .  What this new feature does is take every one of your phone entries and checks to see if they are also your friends on facebook.  If so, they insert the profile image they have… Read More
