CubicMan 0.0.2 is out!

May 1st, 2008, 13:14 Posted By: dr_watson

Passionfools Design has just released CubicMan 0.0.2.

New in this version:

- Progress saving and loading.
- All new UI and texture.
- 15 new levels + enhancement of those old 8 levels (effectively 23 new levels).
- Music and sound effects.
- New triggers: bridges, thin tile and teleporter.
- New control mode using Accelerometer.

With accelerometer mode, you can roll the cube by tilting. If you set "Quick Move" on, the cube will keep rolling as long as the device is tilted (be careful, don't roll over the edge^^). When the "Quick Move" is off, the cube will roll just once with each tilting.

Also, unlike in "swipe" mode that the screen orientation is adjusted automatically, you have to select to play in either "Portrait" or "Landscape" when using the accelerometer mode.

CubicMan is available on Installer thru modmyifone's repository: at http://modmyifone.com/installer.xml

Keepin' it real fake, part CXVIII: iPhone on the farm

May 1st, 2008, 22:12 Posted By: wraggster



Yeah, we too are hoping that these overseas impostors will have to start changing up their game if they still want to ape the iPhone in just a few months, but as it stands, the Toggolino Phone actually does a fantastic job of shaming itself. Apparently this handset, er, device comes packaged with some form of German kit meant to teach kinder a few things about words, animals and the equitable distribution of wealth throughout social classes. Okay, so maybe that last bit isn't in there, but seriously, those animal apps look way more interesting than stocks, weather and company email.

AT&T WiFi hotspots free to iPhone owners, anyone with a brain

May 1st, 2008, 22:21 Posted By: wraggster

Now that AT&T has full control of wireless hotspots like Starbucks and Barnes and Nobles, it looks like they're doling out freebies to their favorite customers: iPhone users. Apparently, if you've got one of Apple's devices, you can hop on the WiFi networks for exactly zero dollars provided you enter your phone number at a login screen. Great for iPhone owners, but a raw deal for everyone else, right? Not so fast, apparently a dumb hack gets you the service on the house too -- just switch your browser's user agent to Mobile Safari, and presto! Free internet. We can't imagine this is a hole that won't get plugged real fast, so get it while the gettin's good.

Next-gen iPhone spotted in the wild?

May 3rd, 2008, 01:25 Posted By: wraggster



Well here's an interesting one. French iPhone blog iPhon.fr got these pics from an anonymous and unverified source, and while there's no way of telling if the shots are legit, they certainly have a truthy ring to them. They follow what we know so far about the shape, size and color of the upcoming 3G iPhone, and while there's always the possibility of knockoff, a Photoshop job, or some other evil plot to mislead us, we're certainly not going to discount these shots entirely in the runup to iPhone's second coming.

Update: Some commenters have pointed out that the size and shape of this phone bares a striking resemblance to LG's Vu. As we said up above, we're not ruling out some handy editing work here.

N-Gage Flagship Game Full of Videogame Character Knockoffs

May 4th, 2008, 11:08 Posted By: wraggster

Nokia tells us that Reset Generation—their new "flagship" title for the N-Gage—will appeal to those who grew up playing videogames. The multiplayer puzzle-adventure is supposed to tickle you by using parodies of characters like Mario, Link, and even Master Chief, resulting in what they call "the world's first videogame about videogames." We are going to call it "yet another game that couldn't use the real thing so they decided to do humorous knockoffs." Although who knows, if it's crazy enough, it may work

AT&T/Starbucks Free Wi-Fi Disabled... For Now

May 4th, 2008, 11:10 Posted By: wraggster

AT&T's free Starbucks Wi-Fi for iPhone usersdeal didn't last very long. Users on the MacRumors forum say that locations where Wi-Fi worked just days ago now have the free iPhone access removed. Considering AT&T never made an official mention of the service, it's possible somebody at the Death Star jumped the gun and the mistake has been corrected. Or maybe the company found out that a simple hack would let anybody with a friend's iPhone number get a free ride

iPhone firmware 2.0 adds Chinese handwriting recognition, Newton sweats

May 5th, 2008, 20:05 Posted By: wraggster

Screen shots posted on Chinese site wretch.cc allege that iPhone firmware 2.0 has added support for Chinese handwriting recognition in addition to a revamped (albeit non-recognition) Japanese interface. While that's still light years from an Apple admission that not everyone is in love with the on-screen keyboard, it's one small step toward functionality that seems to make boatloads of sense -- in any language -- given the phone's generously proportioned touchscreen and its reluctant but unavoidable nomination as the Newton's spiritual successor. What isn't clear is how folks are expected to draw characters, seeing how there's no provision for an on-board stylus, the entire interface is designed for finger use, and we don't see many owner rushing out for a Pogo. However Apple intends for this feature to be used, the implementation looks pretty hot, capable of operating in both portrait and landscape modes. Sadly, it seems that Chinese is the one and only language supported at the moment; sure you don't want to let everyone in on the Graffiti-esque retro fun here, guys?

CSDEVCTRL v2.5 (PPC Application)

May 5th, 2008, 20:45 Posted By: wraggster

via pdroms

Hi all,
this is just another auto locking program.

The difference is that it uses the Windows Lock and it can be activated:
a. A few seconds after the screen has deemed (Backlight has been reduced due to user inactivity) and/or
b. After the device has waken up.
Also during the above the program can run a specified executable/registered file together with any command line arguments that might be required.

The behavior of this program is driven by the next key/values:

> Key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CSDevCtrl\Options

> Values

- LockWhileOnExternalPwr=0 or 1
If set to 1 it will lock the device even while running on external power.

- LockAfterWake=0 or 1
If set to 1 it will lock the device after the device has waken (not soft reset).

- LockAfterWakeOnlyBlthOn= 0 or 1
If set to 1 it will lock the device after the device has waken (not soft reset) and Bluetooth is on.

- DelayBeforeLockMsAfterWake=250
Time in ms to wait before applying the lock from wake and running any program (no need to change).

- LockAfterDim=0 or 1
If set to 1 it will lock the device after the screen has dimmed (user inactive).

- DelayBeforeLockMs=250
Time in ms to wait before applying the lock from dim and running any program (no need to change)

- LockAfterDimSeconds=10
Time in seconds to wait before applying the lock once the screen has dimmed.

- ShowTodayAfterLock=0 or 1

If set to 1 it will bring the Windows Today Screen after applying the user selected lock.

-- AfterTodayRunFilePath=XXX
XXX (if not left blank) it can be an executable/registed file which will be run after the lock and the Today focus
-- AfterTodayRunFileParm=XXX
XXX (if not left blank) they are the command line arguments of the previous option.
-- LockAndBackAfterToday=0 or 1
If set to 1, after unlocking the Today screen will be hidden so that the rest of the windows are visible.

If set to 0 then the next values will be used

-- AfterLockRunFilePath=XXX
XXX (if not left blank) it can be an executable/registed file which will be run after the lock.
-- AfterLockRunFileParm=XXX
XXX (if not left blank) they are the command line arguments of the previous option.


To install it:
> copy the csdevctrl.exe to a folder

The initial run of the program, will create the registry keys with default values which are:
- LockAfterWakeOnlyBlthOn= 0
- LockWhileOnExternalPwr=0
- LockAfterWake=1
- DelayBeforeLockMsAfterWake=250
- LockAfterDim=1
- DelayBeforeLockMs=250
- LockAfterDimSeconds=10
- ShowTodayAfterLock=1
-- AfterTodayRunFilePath=(Blank)
-- AfterTodayRunFileParm=(Blank)
-- LockAndBackAfterToday=1
-- AfterLockRunFilePath=(Blank)
-- AfterLockRunFileParm=(Blank)


To run it:
Simply run it and it will spawn at the background as another process.

Running the program second time will cause the program to exit (It will show a confirmation window which will close in 3 seconds unless you close it sooner).

To uninstall it, close the process as usual (run it again or kill the process) and delete the file.
Also delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CSDevCtrl\Options

As a note, do not rename the csdevctrl.exe as the uninstall depends on this name.

It has been compiled for WM5 so it should run on both WM5/WM6 (i am using a Kaiser with WM6.1)

Have fun
Chris

P.S:
I can not upload the new version, seems there is a problem with the xda side.

This is the rapidshare link instead:

http://rapidshare.com/files/11228207...ctrl-v.2.5.zip


Changes:

Added option to lock only if bluetooth is on after wake

Rumor: AT&T Says No Employee Vacations Between June 15 and July 12 For the 3G iPhone

May 6th, 2008, 21:34 Posted By: wraggster

According to cellpassion, AT&T's pulling a similar move as Apple did last year, disallowing any employee vacations for a period from June 15 to July 12. If this is true, there's only one reason why AT&T would do this: the 3G iPhone. Why did they pick June 15 when the keynote for WWDC is June 9? Beats me. It seems more and more likely that the phone is coming, however, so don't buy anything until after June unless you want to be a sad sack.

T-Mobile admits that 3G iPhone will be tested in Austria

May 6th, 2008, 21:42 Posted By: wraggster

derStandard, the same publication that announced that the iPhone would be sailing into Austria via T-Mobile is now reporting that the same carrier will be testing the 3G iPhone in the aforesaid country. During a press conference in Vienna, T-Mo Austria reportedly affirmed that a UMTS version of Apple's handset would "soon be available," and that Austria would be the "testing ground" for the new mobile -- not to mention "among the first countries in the world with the UMTS iPhone." Furthermore, bigwigs stated that "more flexible" offers would be made available, but details beyond that were scant.

Vodafone releasing iPhone in Australia, Italy, India, and seven other countries

May 6th, 2008, 21:47 Posted By: wraggster

Vodafone's just got a tiny, minor, insignificant announcement to make this morning: it's signed with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten markets, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy (so much for Telecom Italia), India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. Expect the phone later this year -- that's all we know for now. Score one (or ten?) for Voda.

More "leaked" 3G iPhone shots hit the web

May 8th, 2008, 01:21 Posted By: wraggster



For those that need to be in the know about the very latest supposedly-leaked 3G iPhone shots that hit the web this week, we've got you covered -- but we're not convinced, especially of the device on the right. The shots on the left do at least seem to be crafted around those supposed size and shape leaks we saw the other day though, so bonus points there for playing into another current rumor to rack up a small bit of credibility. Still, in our best Rick James voice, Photoshop's a hell of a tool.

Vexed v1.9.7.378 (PPC Game Port)

May 8th, 2008, 18:43 Posted By: wraggster

via pdroms


Hi forum,

it has been about one year that I follow threads on xda-developers and I thank to all of you So, I decided to share something that I've done.

If you owned a PalmOS device in the past, sure you know this old blocks game that has roots in Puzznic. I’m a big fun of Vexed since the 1st PalmOS version. In 2002, I really missed this game when I bought my 1st pocket pc and decided to write it for that platform. Since then, I have a never ending Vexed project for Windows platforms that lives almost only on my pocketpc and my laptop. The game was only distributed to a couple of friends during these years since I was not able to convince myself on its quality to release it. A couple of months ago I’ve finally decided to seriously finish and package it as a freeware as the PalmOS version. But it's still hard to finish :P

So, what I expect by publishing it here for the 1st time is your support and feedback

The level packs and graphics are taken from sourceforge project of Vexed here: http://vexed.sourceforge.net/
The source code is entirely written by myself. This is an early beta version. Feel free to send feedback to fix things. Check options if block animations are not smooth for your device.

Regards,
palmhook

AT&T WiFi access now listed as "included" with iPhone

May 9th, 2008, 00:38 Posted By: wraggster

We're not exactly sure what was going on with that whole on-again / off-again love affair with iPhones having gratis access to AT&T WiFi hotspots, but we're content with letting bygones be bygones. On the slightly tweaked iPhone "Plans" page, the carrier now lists "Access to AT&T WiFi hotspots" as an included feature along with call forwarding, 3-way calling and Caller ID. Sure, it's not a bona fide press release, but same difference, right?

iPhone is good and done in the UK -- until the 3G version, anyway [updated]

May 9th, 2008, 00:39 Posted By: wraggster

The headline kind of says it all, but if you weren't already sure enough that the first gen iPhone's stint in the UK was coming to a close, O2's pushing to make things crystal clear. It's hard to imagine both companies are going to just stop selling such a high profile device for too long, but clearly we're all still in the dark as to when its 3G replacement will officially be out.

[Thanks, Keith]

Update: While European carriers are running out of stock left and right, it seems Apple Stores in the UK and elsewhere still have iPhones -- for now.

Update 2: Okay, and now O2's page is showing that the iPhone is once again available. Temporary glitch or preparatory? Beats us, but if you want a 16GB device, it's apparently still up for grabs

Native Orb App Brings Live TV to Your iPhone

May 9th, 2008, 01:01 Posted By: wraggster

The OrbLive streaming media app is for everyone who is sick of waiting for a Sling Mobile client on their iPhone. As you may (or may not) know, Orb pulls files off your PC and streams them to any device with an app or web browser capable of accessing the Orb interface. From there you can stream music, video files, and if you have a TV tuner card, live TV. While Orb was previously accessible via Safari, this new, official app is supposed to be an easier, more intuitive way to get your media on the go. It does require a jailbroken iPhone, however.

Zodttd Status Report

May 9th, 2008, 21:58 Posted By: wraggster

I've spent the past few days working hard on psx4all. While it still runs too slowly on the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch, compatibility is getting better. For instance the games can now be properly loaded through the BIOS and the Sony Playstation BIOS screen appears.

Temper4iphone, the Turbo Graphix 16 / Turbo Duo (PC-Engine / PC-CD) emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch is still on its way. Exophase, the author of emulator this port is based on, has released an update, and I'd like to incorporate those changes into the port.

For those wondering of the mystery package, it's of a Pandora. The Pandora is a purely homebrew driven handheld with a focus on video games. It uses bleeding edge technology and wow is it fast! At it's default 600MHz using the new OMAP3 processor, Playstation emulation of Final Fantasy 7 runs in-game at 65 FPS (a bit over fullspeed) or higher. When overclocked to 900MHz you start seeing 100 FPS and higher in-game!

While the Pandora will take some of my freetime away at the moment, I am still focused on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch software. No worries there. There's room for both here at ZodTTD.

Sorry for the delay in responding to private messages, I'll get right on that now. It's been a busy week indeed!

iPhone World Map Charts Jobs' Giant Game Of Risk

May 10th, 2008, 01:06 Posted By: wraggster

It's tough to keep track of the iPhone's slow global release, so one Apple fan assembled all the data into one easy to read map. If the country is red, then they either have the iPhone or will be getting it this summer. (Note: Switzerland, Spain and Poland are still just rumored, not official).

It's like one of those pandemic maps from the movies. You see the military general plotting two little red dots. Then four. Then eight. And then, all of the sudden, the dots have covered the general's body, spewing puss across the room in all directions.

Carl Freer dishes dirt on the new Gizmondo

May 10th, 2008, 13:28 Posted By: wraggster

If you were starting to get worried that the new Gizmondo device would never see the light of day, fear not! According to an interview with Carl Freer, the company is hard at work on its next handheld, which he claims will feature a number of improvements on the previous, practically perfect iteration. First up, the new system will be built atop Windows CE 6 (which Freer claims has lots of "new goodies"), utilizes a separate graphics chip, will be an open platform with a readily available SDK, and can grab content form a web portal (Gizmondo.com, likely). Most interesting of all, however, is that Freer says the old Gizmondo units will be returning to store shelves. All of this magic is said to be happening by the end of the year -- though since we're nearly half-way through it, Carl and co. have a pretty small window. This is where the "exciting psychic worlds" come into play, right?

Apple Store's US and UK sites run dry of iPhones, 3G imminent?

May 10th, 2008, 21:25 Posted By: wraggster

If we saw the typical "Ships in 1-2 weeks" here or whatever, we wouldn't be sounding an alarm, but something is going on here. Both Apple's US and UK online stores are joining the O2 choir and are now reporting the iPhone as "currently unavailable" -- no 8GB, no 16GB, no nothing. It seems that Apple either significantly underestimated demand for the 2.5G models ahead of the 3G release that's still a few weeks (or months) down the road, or the 3G model is a whole heck of a lot closer than we could've imagined. Is anyone suddenly having a nasty case of "I only want what I can't have" syndrome and regretting that they didn't order one of these bad boys a day or two ago?

AT&T Says Free WiFi for iPhones Will Come... Someday

May 10th, 2008, 21:33 Posted By: wraggster

All AT&T's flip-flopping between offering free wireless at Starbucks and then taking it away—turns out it was some peon screwing up after all. An spokesperson for the company told the New York Times that the confusion was due to a "human error." But the day when iPhone users can definitively access the internet while sipping on frappuccinos will come, the PR flack assures, AT&T is just refusing to say when. Oh, come off it, AT&T. The cat's out of the bag already, you might as well roll out the service now. I'm sure there will be plenty of secrets you can accidentally release before deadline in the future.

Apple finally setting its legal sights on the HiPhone?

May 11th, 2008, 19:26 Posted By: wraggster

Oh, there are plenty of bad Chinese iPhone knockoffs out there, but the HiPhone may be the reigning champion these days -- so it kind of seemed like a matter of time before Apple loosed the hounds on distributors of the device. We don't have confirmation or proper human translation of the above legal notice, but it would appear Apple's European counsel Bird & Bird has delivered at least one notice to an unnamed distributor threatening €25,000 in damages (and €15,000 in legal fees) for HiPhone sales. Hardly the case of the century, but we'll let you know if we hear anything.

Newsflash! Firmware 2.0 hints suggest Apple might be working on a 3G iPhone

May 11th, 2008, 19:27 Posted By: wraggster

You'll never believe this, but it looks like Cupertino might be getting ready to drop a bomb this summer -- a 3G bomb, in fact! The latest beta release of firmware 2.0 for the iPhone has apparently revealed a preference screen that allows users of the new model to disable the 3G radio and fall back to GPRS / EDGE because the faster service "decreases battery life." Gotta pay to play, as they say. The ability to disable 3G service in favor of improved standby performance is a pretty common one in modern phones, so we're not surprised to see it here -- just a little disappointed that Apple hasn't incorporated enough fairy dust to magically make the problem go away.

AT&T says "iPhone Black" means nothing, gunman acted alone

May 12th, 2008, 23:10 Posted By: wraggster



We've just received an official statement from AT&T regarding the presence of an "iPhone Black" on its model selector earlier today: "The reference to 'iPhone Black' was simply a temporary placeholder used over the weekend for a scheduled catalog update. It was meant to temporarily distinguish the various iPhone models-4GB, 8GB and 16GB-but was never reassigned. We're changing the site now." Makes total sense, right? Three models of iPhone, two placeholders: iPhone and iPhone Black. You know, because "Black" has so much to do with memory capacity, and is easier to remember than 4, 8, or 16GB.

Also, AT&T, we know those cigarettes are yours, so you can stop telling us you were "just carrying them for a friend." We're not stupid, you know.

Why Apple isn't releasing a handheld gaming device: because they're not dumb

May 12th, 2008, 23:41 Posted By: wraggster

Apple is getting ready to launch a portable gaming device this year. Many of you already own it. It's called the iPhone. The Register is running a rumor piece that posits that the iPhone 3G will be announced before WWDC, opening up space in the keynote for Jobs to introduce an entirely new device.

Apple trademarks iPod's design, applies for iPhone design mark

May 14th, 2008, 00:57 Posted By: wraggster

Quick, what's the best way to dress up an otherwise dry piece on how companies can register non-traditional trademarks? If you answered "mention Apple and the iPod," you're the big winner -- and you've gotten yourself published in the Wall Street Journal. We'll be the first to admit that Apple's January registration of the three-dimensional design of the iPod strains credulity, but the simple fact is that non-traditional trademarks have been around for a while now -- we seem to remember a little kerfuffle regarding magenta recently, but we can't quite recall the exact details. Similarly, Nokia trademarked the 12 notes of its default ringtone back in September (even though they're part of a larger piece written in 1902 called "Gran Vals"), NBC has a mark on its ding-ding-ding station ID, and Coca-Cola has registrations for basically every bottle design it sells. Still, you can bet Apple legal threw quite a pizza party when this mark was approved -- and we can only imagine the kind of buttoned-down corporate lawyer jam that'll go down if the company succeeds in getting a mark on the design of the iPhone, which it's currently applied for. Hope you're ready for some more funktastic control layouts.

iPhone Tip: Put Club Cards On Your Phone As Pictures

May 14th, 2008, 01:24 Posted By: wraggster

through a magnetic reader, the idea is definitely sound. Just take pictures of your club cards (Costco, Safeway, Blockbuster), import them into your iPhone as an album, and trim down the number of cards you have to carry in your wallet. When you need to use a card, just whip out your phone and show it to the cashier, hoping that they don't get too uppity about your cleverness. If they do, just throw your phone at their head à la Naomi Campbell.

As the 3G iPhone draws near, what's your plan of attack?

May 15th, 2008, 01:34 Posted By: wraggster

And so forth. If you're like many of us, you very well could be weighing your options as the 3G iPhone seems increasingly imminent. Some might have a wad of cash already laid aside, others might be thinking of jumping ship to one of the iPhone's numerous competitors, or just getting some more months of utility out of their current iPhone. And then there's the trouble of disposing of your existing iPhone when you do upgrade. Do you give it to a friend, mount it on the wall, or bury it in the backyard with the hope of growing it into a cute little iPhone tree? The options are endless. Let us know which way you're leaning.

Are you going to buy the 3G iPhone?

I'll upgrade the day it comes out.I think I'll wait and see how it fares.Sticking with this one until it craps out or there's a price I can't refuse.Going to jump ship to something else as soon as my contract is up.Never bought one, and 3G won't change a thing.I think 3G means it's finally time to head to the dark side.Vote

What'll you do with your old iPhone 1.0?

Give it to Apple for recycling.Give it to a friend or family member.Sell it.Hack it.Trash it.Keep it around for a backup.Never bought one.

Official: Swisscom to launch iPhone in Switzerland -- 3G, GPS, mobile TV, video confe

May 15th, 2008, 01:47 Posted By: wraggster

So there was a little rumor bouncing about yesterday which claimed that Swisscom would land the iPhone. Today, Swisscom confirmed the deal while saying little else. What's interesting then is what the rest of the rumor, started by the leading Swiss newspaper, Le Matin, had to say. Namely, the 3G iPhone will be on sale in Switzerland this summer (on sale in the US by June) offering 2-way video chats, mobile TV and GPS navigation all powered by an even beefier processor. That certainly sounds like the same 3G iPhone we're expecting to pop at WWDC now doesn't it?

Singapore Airlines Flights Get iPhone/iPod Docks and 15.4-inch LCDs

May 16th, 2008, 02:27 Posted By: wraggster

Singapore Airlines is installing iPod docks and 15.4-inch widescreen LCDs in their all-Business Class Airbus A340-500 flights between NY/LA and Singapore, ensuring that we're going to be flying with them if we ever have to travel to that part of the world. Each business customer can dock their iPhone or iPod and watch their own movies on the included noise-canceling headphones—which will be interrupting when the captain wants tell you to look off to your left so you can see a drunken Superman mooning your plane. Flights from Newark with this will start May 15 (today), and August for the LA ones. Maybe now business passengers won't engage in business time whilst in the air.

Orange lands broad iPhone distro deal too

May 17th, 2008, 00:27 Posted By: wraggster

We'll make this brief. Orange spokesperson Therese Wenger told the SDA news agency that it has secured rights to release the iPhone (3G version, presumably) in Switzerland and more than 10 other countries -- take that Swisscom! Other countries include Austria, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, and Romania. And France of course where it's already on sale. See, that was quick and leaves room for a dozen or so other iPhone related announcements today.

Nokia fesses to looming N95-3 software update, fails to mention specifics

May 18th, 2008, 10:39 Posted By: wraggster

It's been a solid tick since the North American N95, also referred to as the N95-3, received a software update. For those clamoring for a little love from Nokia's dev team, listen up: an administrator over at the outfit's forums has admitted that the Software Update crew has a new version in the works. We're told that they've heard the demands for a fresh release, and they're toiling away in order to bring it to N95-3 owners by early June. Unfortunately, we're not told what new features we can expect, and even worse, "early June" seems like eons away, doesn't it?

Apple looks to OTA downloads for 3G iPhone, record labels look for cash

May 20th, 2008, 02:08 Posted By: wraggster

According to a churning rumor-mill, Apple desperately wants to make over-the-air downloads of iTunes content a reality on the 3G iPhone. Apparently, a record label executive "familiar with the discussions" states that the Cupertino gang is hoping for a "big launch in June" which includes OTA music downloads, ringtone sales, and ringback tones (the substitute music you hear instead of a ring when calling someone). There's only one problem: the labels want a higher premium for those services than a typical MP3 download. Of course, Apple's iTunes pricing has been a point of contention for some time, though its recent rule-bending for HBO could lead to upped charges for the new services. Something tells us Apple has the tenacity and bullheadedness to make this work -- let's just hope they can temper the labels' greed with the end user's economic realities.

3G iPhone revealed in third-party case render?

May 20th, 2008, 02:10 Posted By: wraggster



Look, we're not saying this means anything, but the above rendering from iPhone case-maker XSKN sure does look like those supposed design changes we've been hearing about. You'll note the larger, more curvy back, space opened up near the earpiece for the rumored front-facing camera, and what appears to be a non-recessed headphone jack. Sure, this could be a ploy to get eyes on their pages, but even if they're citing the specs we've heard, this is still the first case design we've seen for anything other than the original iPhone.

Gizmondo Power!

May 20th, 2008, 20:25 Posted By: wraggster

Ok not clock stopping news here but enough to warrant you to stop and read this bit of news just in.

With the thoughts of the Gizmondo 1.5 swimming round the aspect of battery life is still a key objection. this however in an unsuspecting move has been addressed with this comment from Carl Freer.
We know the Gizmondo's standard battery was no good hence the need for the premium battery but please read on.


QUOTE
We understand that there was an issue with the batteries in the original Gizmondo units. Frankly, they never worked very well. Part of this was due to the physical battery used, the other was the power management module in the OS.

We now have a MUCH enhanced solution for the battery issue (including a new model battery) that we will be offering in the new Gizmondo units. Additionally, we will to offer a new battery to current Gizmondo owners as part of the upgrade process. This program will be available FREE OF CHARGE and will be a part of the relaunch.

As I mentioned, we are committed to current owners and want to help enhance their experience along with draw new users to Gizmondo.


Now to read that on first comment would be wow! Indeed great commitment to the early adopters and possibly very risky financially but if we read into this, there might be some form of exchange old batteries for new? What lies on the horizon for the Gizmondo surely must be big as this is merely a spec of what’s to come

Konami to bring Metal Gear Solid to N-Gage

May 20th, 2008, 20:27 Posted By: wraggster

Espoo, Finland - Nokia and KONAMI, a leading global developer, publisher and manufacturer of electronic entertainment properties, today announced that KONAMI mobile titles will be added to the N-Gage mobile games platform. The mobile version of the award-winning METAL GEAR SOLID® will be the first title in the games line-up. METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE has received top honours at the 2007 International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA), taking both the Grand Prix and Operator's Choice Awards.

The new version of the classic game features original content that can only be found on the mobile platform. METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE includes never-before-seen dramatic 3D art displays and camera work. The detailed in-game graphics capture the atmosphere of the METAL GEAR SOLID® series and create a depth that completely draws the player into the game, and pushes the capabilities of the mobile platform. Players face the extreme tension of solitary infiltration in this version of the tactical espionage action game developed in conjunction with Ideaworks3D and utilizing its Airplay 3.5 SDK. An in-game camouflage system utilizes colour samples from the scenery of the real world captured by the handset's camera. Moreover, additional controls are introduced that are made especially for mobile devices.

"We're excited to see KONAMI tap into the performance and community features we've built into the N-Gage platform," said Gregg Sauter, Director, Third Party Games Publishing, Nokia. "METAL GEAR SOLID® on N-Gage will raise the bar with respect to graphical detail and made-for-mobile features. We look forward to the launch of this great franchise on N-Gage."

"It is my sincere hope that global Nokia N-Gage users will experience the appeal of "METAL GEAR®" that has been brought to the mobile platform in the form of "METAL GEAR SOLID® MOBILE," said Hideo Kojima, Executive Producer of Kojima Productions, Corporate Officer of Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. "I believe that this cooperation between Nokia and KONAMI will form the perfect match to share the vast potential of mobile entertainment content with users all around the world."

It looks like you might have to think twice before flipping that old iPhone on eBay when the 3G version finally hits -- it appears that restoring the phone doesn't actually erase the contents of the flash, meaning that your data is available to anyone with the proper tools until it's overwritten. Making matters worse, it appears that Apple doesn't do a low-level format when refurbishing iPhones either -- an Oregon State Police detective was able to use forensic software to pull files, emails, and screenshots off an out-of-the-box refurbished iPhone. This actually shouldn't be surprising to anyone -- we've seen several utilities that access "deleted" portions of storage -- but since Apple doesn't provide users direct access to the iPhone's filesystem, it's basically impossible to clear your personal data off the device short of restoring and filling the disk with junk data. Hopefully iPhone 2.0's Exchange-based "remote wipe" feature is a bit more secure, eh?

Nokia "definitely" preparing Linux-based phones, flavor unknown

May 21st, 2008, 00:27 Posted By: wraggster

With Nokia's dedication to Maemo and the recent Trolltech acquisition, it's no secret that Espoo has its eyes firmly locked on the Linux prize -- but outside the whole Internet Tablet phenomenon, there hasn't been a lot of product to show for it. Looks like that's all about to change, with CFO Rick Simonson commenting this week that the company will "definitely" be releasing some Linux-based cellphones in the future, marking a pretty big move for a company with strong tradition in its long-lived Series 40 dumbphone and S60 smartphone platforms. Simonson refused to get into the nitty gritty details about what flavor of mobile Linux would be used; borrowing from its tablets might make sense, but the Android and LiMo juggernauts seem like they're going to be pretty hard to ignore as well -- not to mention that Google is said to have chatted briefly about Android with Nokia in the not-too-distant past. So what does this all mean? Is S60 Touch in danger here?

iPhone theme sullies Vista's good name

May 21st, 2008, 00:30 Posted By: wraggster



For those with identity crises, great senses of humor, or serious cases of Vista Fever, Spec-Works' VistaPerfection theme for the iPhone brings all the splendors of Windows Vista -- well, the important visual aspects, anyway -- to your pocket in a way that we can safely say Microsoft never intended. If the wow hadn't already started, ladies and gentlemen, it certainly has now.

eReader beta for S60 3rd Edition

May 21st, 2008, 21:24 Posted By: wraggster

A beta version of eReader.com's eBook software is now available for S60 3rd Edition. eReader is a long standing eBook store which provides some of the current best sellers in eBook form, protected via its own form of DRM. They provides a version of their reader for multiple platforms. However a few years ago they seemed to lose interest in support Symbian OS handsets, but under the new ownership of Fictionwise this seems to be changing.


The S60 3rd Edition version of eReader will be most attractive for those who have already bought books using eReader. If you're looking at buying an eBook for the first time you may also want to investigate the Amazon backed Mobipocket which provides both reading software and eBook store.

Both Mobipocket and eReader povide similar features in their software (full screen mode, the ability too look up words, bookmarks, autoscroll, font and text settings). Both can also be used to read standard .pdb file (non-DRM) which is useful for reading public domain content from sites such as Memoware.

Mobipocket is currently the more mature reader (and is also available for UIQ handsets), but hopefully the eReader software will progress during the course of its beta.

eReader is owned by Fictionwise, another eBook store, which has the notable positive feature of providing many of its books in multiple formats including both eReader and Mobipocket. Books bought from Fictionwise are therefore less susceptible to being left behind by changes in DRM.

N-Gage games locked to single phone forever

May 21st, 2008, 21:25 Posted By: wraggster

The N-Gage platform aims to usher in a new age of high quality connected phone gaming. However if you upgrade to a new phone, you cannot transfer any of your N-Gage games from the old phone. In a special feature article All About N-Gage looks at why this is such a damaging policy for N-Gage, what the unintended consequences are, and a number of potential solutions. Will Nokia change their minds on this issue?

Well, it now seems that the new N-Gage platform has its own significant flaw: if you upgrade to a new phone, you will not be able to transfer your games to the new phone - your library is locked to the original handset forever.

This is in stark contrast to Nokia's Music Store service, which does let you move your music library to a new phone. Why does Nokia treat a 10 euro album differently to a 10 euro game?

3G iPhone screen shot faked, but don't worry, we think it's still coming

May 22nd, 2008, 00:34 Posted By: wraggster

After some exhaustive research invested by one iSmashPhone, it seems like that now-infamous "Enable 3G" screen shot supposedly lifted from a recent iPhone firmware 2.0 beta was mocked up. The spirit of the shot mercifully lives on, though, seeing how the existence of the underlying preferences to support the enabling of 3G data has been independently verified in the code -- we just don't know exactly what form that preference is going to take in the user interface. Bottom line: fret not, there's still a 3G iPhone on the way, it's probably going to be here within mere weeks, and odds are you'll be able to control whether high speed is enabled, just like virtually every other 3G phone on the market. So if you're looking for a random reason to crack open a celebratory beer right now, well, there you have it. Drink responsibly.

How to "format" an iPhone to clear your data completely

May 22nd, 2008, 00:36 Posted By: wraggster

We briefly mentioned using junk data to overwrite the the iPhone's flash as a last-ditch method of securely clearing off your user data yesterday, and although we were half-joking, that's more or less your only option until Apple provides a proper secure erase feature. Security researcher Rich Mogull has helpfully laid out the steps for you, and they're basically what you'd expect: restore your iPhone, don't sync any personal data to it, and then manually transfer three different playlists large enough to fill the flash. Essentially you're doing a manual three-pass overwrite, which is pretty much exactly the long and tedious process it sounds like -- but we wouldn't dream of selling or giving away our iPhones (or any other phone with personal data on it) without struggling through it.

Rumor Smashed: AT&T Not Insuring iPhones For $5 a Month

May 22nd, 2008, 00:59 Posted By: wraggster

We knew that rumor about AT&T iPhone insurance for $5 was too good to be true, seeing as we went through the same thing back in 2007 when the iPhone was launched. AT&T's insurance company, Asurion, isn't going to cover that super expensive phone for only $5 a month, even with the $125 deductible on pricier smartphones and PDAs. Tough luck guys, but you can always get AppleCare and protect yourself from most problems on your phone not caused by you being a dumbass

Nokia promises to let N-Gage users transfer games

May 23rd, 2008, 20:19 Posted By: Shrygue

via Engadget


Well, that didn't take long. Just as the mini-brouhaha over N-Gage games being tied to handsets was starting to percolate, Nokia has now come out and said that users will be able to take their games with them to a new handset after all, eventually.

According to Nokia communications manager Oskar Södergren, some "miscommunication" on Nokia's part is apparently to blame for users being left up in the air on the matter, something that apparently led to some "mixed messages" being passed around inside Nokia as well. He went on to add that Nokia has in fact "been working on a way for this to work since the relaunch, but it is taking some time for everything to fall into place."

Smartlink is about making our mobile device acting a little bit more like a human secretary by learning personal associations of words (like "Maria" or “KDE homepage”) with semantic data (like a corresponding contact entry in our address book or a bookmark in our browser) and offering to utilize the data of these associations (eg. the phone number to make a call, or the URL to forward to someone) whenever we use plain text in any application (eg. in a tasklist application). In other words, Smartlink interconnects different applications (that do not need to know of each) based on plain text associations in a smart way.

iPhone getting game thanks to the iControlpad

May 24th, 2008, 00:58 Posted By: wraggster

iPhone gaming aficionados -- your wildest dreams will soon be coming to fruition. Apparently, CraigX (one of the masterminds behind the Pandora project) is also busy whipping up a physical control pad add-on for the Apple device. The peripheral -- dubbed the iControlpad, of course -- will attach to the dock connector on the bottom of the phone and wrap around the sides, and is said to provide a PSX-like feel. The pad's site claims that compatibility is already built in to popular iPhone game emulators, and units are being sent out to other developers as well. The model pictured here is a prototype design -- but frankly, they had us at "Hello."

3G iPhone to support 42Mbps Evolved HSPA data?

May 24th, 2008, 01:37 Posted By: wraggster

Get this. Australian site ChannelNews claims that a "senior executive of Telstra" is the latest 3G iPhone bean spiller. They quote the exec as saying the following:

"We know what is coming we have seen the new device and it will be available on our network as soon as it is launched in the USA. By Christmas this phone will be capable of 42Mbps which will make it faster than a lot of broadband offerings and the fastest iPhone on any network in the world."

Interesting. We know that Telstra's Next G HSDPA network has been capable of 14.4Mbps since 2007. At GSMA Mobile World Congress, they even committed to 21Mbps before the end of the year and 42Mbps using HSPA+ (aka, Evolved HSPA, HSPA Evolution) technology in 2009... not Christmas of 2008. Hard to say if this is just industry blow-harding or actual insider info. June 9th: T-minus 17 days and counting.

Free Playboy, Popular Mechanics and Other Respectable Magazines on Your iPhone

May 24th, 2008, 12:50 Posted By: wraggster

Usually, Zinio charges five bucks a pop for single digital issues of magazines like Men's Health, Popular Mechanics, Playboy, Penthouse and other classy rags. But on the iPhone, at least for now, you can read them from cover-to-cover for free, if you direct your browser to zinio.com/iphone. Yep, even Playboy. If you're on an actual computer, you can also change your user agent in Safari to mimic the iPhone's, and we've confirmed it'll work just as well. (BTW, the pics are desktop size, not iPhone puny.) No telling how long it'll last though, so you get your licks (or other verbs) in while you can.

iPhone Cases Go Head to Head in Battlemodo Arena

May 26th, 2008, 11:27 Posted By: wraggster



Personally, I have never been big into phone cases. They can be bulky, flimsy, and having one clipped to your belt makes most people look like a tool. I prefer to let them hang out naked and free—as nature intended. Still, iPhones don't come cheap, and if you dropped all that cash on one you are certainly justified in wanting to protect it from the elements. That is why I have put 4 major iPhone cases (the Case-mate leather collection, the Otterbox Defender Series, the Ivyskin Xylo T2 Touch-Thru Case, and the iShield Mirror) to the test in an effort to determine whether or not they will truly fit your needs.

iControlPad - Can This Revolutionize iPhone Gaming

May 26th, 2008, 11:41 Posted By: wraggster



Above you can see the first prototype pic of the iControlPad a device thats set to revolutionize Homebrew and Emulation and even normal gaming on the iPhone (wheres the ipod touch version ), The iPhone as we know is a powerful beast but real gamers will struggle like hell trying to to grips with playing the likes of Snes, GBA, PSX and Genesis games on the iPhone, yes many of you do use the iPhone for that but to be able to play like a real joypad is a much nicer feel.

The iControlPad fits around the iPhone and looks very much like a PSP in its appearance and it does seem to have enough buttons for decent emulation play. Lets hope that when its released we will seeif it can give a real feel to gaming on the iPhone.

Apple files patent for "solar cells on portable devices"

May 26th, 2008, 12:57 Posted By: wraggster

While we wait, and wait... and wait for manufactures to perfect long-lasting fuel cells, Apple and others are pursuing at least one other approach: solar augmentation. In a patent application titled "Solar cells on portable devices" attributed to a number of Apple employees, Apple reveals possible plans to integrate solar cells into portable devices such as iPods and MacBooks. The application says, "Solar cells are typically stacked with other layers made of transparent or semi-transparent materials... Some of these layers may be used for display or input purposes, and some layers may be coated with various materials or they may be etched with product logos or other patterns." In other words, Apple is looking to cover the entire device, including the transparent display, with a layer of solar cells -- the latter approach already patented by Motorola. While the efficiency of solar cells and existing manufacturing techniques call into question the immediate viability of such an approach, it's intriguing nonetheless as a means to offset any lost battery life on the move to say, 3G.

First we would like to say thanks for all the kind emails, we know we have a lot of you guys to link on the right column and will get it done as soon as possible. First though we wanted to show that this is real and the hardware exists. But what we don't currently want to do is reveal how the iPhone hooks up to the control pad or too many details on the design as we are a little worried about clones.

In this video you can see Michael talk you though some aspects of the iPhone serial communications.
