The Limits of Orange's "Unlimited" Data Plan

Posted By: wraggster

Users began grumbling about the 750MB cap on Orange's so-called "unlimited" data plan as soon as it was announced. Close reading of the Terms and Conditions of Orange's service, however, reveals even more restrictions, which poses the question: how many limits can you put on a plan and still call it "unlimited?"

The word "unlimited" in Orange's rate plan listing is followed by an asterisk, which points to a notification that “Fair Usage policy of 750MB/month applies.” Somewhat misleading, but entirely legal in the United Kingdom, where a court ruled last January that a Blackberry data plan with a 250 MB cap could still be called "unlimited."

Dutch Hacker Holds Jailbroken iPhones Hostage For €5 Ransom While Exposing Security V

Posted By: wraggster



Many of us have jailbroken our iPhones, but did everyone remember to change the default root password? Those guilty of that oversight are vulnerable to the simple intrusion method this guy used to hold iPhones hostage in the Netherlands.

This Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims

Posted By: wraggster



China Ontrade calls this the iPhone 4 Generation Midboard. Not very exciting, but the last time they announced a next-generation iPhone part, they were right. A month later, the iPhone 3GS appeared with exactly those parts. What could this mean?

GeoHot Turns Down the $10,000 Bounty for 3.1.2 Unlock

Posted By: wraggster

GeoHot's decision to take on the iPhone 3.1.2 unlock was criticized for coming after Jody Sanders' offer of $10,000 - especially given that he had previously said he would not work on it. Today, in a scathing post on his blog, GeoHot said that though the unlock will be released on November 4 he was turning down the money, because Sanders "and the rest of the iPhone unlock sites out there are scum."

GeoHot is the pseudonym of 20-year-old George Hotz, the illustrious hacker behind the iPhone jailbreaks

Is Portable Gaming Apple's Next Conquest?

Posted By: wraggster

In this morning's Wall Street Journal, the venerable financial newspaper touched on the study published this weekend by DFC Intelligence that predicts that games for the iPhone and iPod touch will be the" principal drivers for growth in the overall portable and mobile gaming market" within a period of only five years.

Although Apple and its designated spokespeople have always offered the left-hand compliment that portable gaming devices like the DS and PSP are awesome yet strikingly inferior to the iTouch, for example, Apple is yet to truly back up that confidence with an all-out push for mobile gaming dominance. I guess you could say that portable gaming just hasn't been their "thing."

But that will likely change.

N64 Emulator is in the Works for iPhone & iPod Touch 3rd Gen Says Zodttd

Posted By: User Name

N64 emulator soon to be reality?

Zodttd, the developer for the iPhone and iPod Touch most famous for all his emulator such as GBA4iPhone, has announced that he is working on a Nintendo 64 emulator for the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd generation!

He says that Apple’s latest iDevices are finally fast enough for a Nintendo 64 emulator so he has decided to start working on one.

Naturally there are all the doubts about how fast it will play and how you will control the joystick plus all those buttons (such as the Z-button) but regardless, if this comes out it will be simply awesome!

Here is a copy of the original announcement:

Yup, you heard correct. I am currently working on a port of N64 for the iPhone 3gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen. Why only these two models? Two reasons:

* They’re the fastest Apple handhelds in term of raw CPU performance.
* They both have a faster GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) which allows for OpenGL ES 2.0 specifications.

So yes you may soon see N64 on your favorite Apple device. But I can’t promise it will run games top notch just yet, as things are too early to say. There’s hope though, with a 3D accelerated graphics plugin, as well as an ARM dynarec. If you have a previous generation device, I can use software rendering, but it will slow things down further, along with the slower CPU.

I’m somewhat light on details at the moment due to wanting to balance the hype. Things look good for this project though. Only thing I’m concerned about is currently software based controls. I would like to keep my current software based controls with overlays in use, if possible. And also, if icontrolpad.com finally managed to mass produce and release the controller for your iPhone 3GS, this could become the greatest thing ever!

iPhone arrives at Orange UK on November 10th

Posted By: wraggster

Orange will begin selling the iPhone 3G and 3GS from 7am on 10th November in the UK, the operator has announced.
The handset will be available on monthly and pay-as-you-go tariffs. The iPhone 3GS will be free on all £45 monthly tariffs, while the iPhone 3G will be free on £30 plans - in both cases, users will have to sign up to 24-month contracts.
There's also a high-end 'traveler' option costing £125 a month, which includes roaming call and data allowance. UK data allowance is "unlimited" (although that's unlimited in the limited to "fair usage of 750MB per month" sense).

Meanwhile, Orange will sell the iPhone 3G for £333 on a pay-as-you-go tariff, as long as users top up with £50 when buying the device. They'll get 250MB of data a month as part of that.
Orange has also struck a deal with BT Openzone to give its iPhone users free access to the latter's UK network of Wi-Fi hotspots, matching O2's deal with The Cloud.
Orange will be selling the devices in its 400+ UK stores, as well as online, and through its HMV concessions. The operator will also sell in Apple retail stores, as well as Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U.

Fake iPhone comes with magical external QWERTY keyboard

Posted By: wraggster



Alright, would you look at this, Apple? We know you require your employees to pay in blood for every single button or moving part that makes it onto a shipping product, but would it really kill you to work in some proper Bluetooth keyboard support for the iPhone so we could enjoy the magical freedom of external QWERTY pads if we so choose? Take this particularly stunning KIRF, for example. Sure, you might find the iPhone-miming handset it's paired with offensive, but is there really so much wrong with this flip-out QWERTY action? Do you enjoy our suffering? Please? iTwinge just isn't cutting it
