DevTeam’s very own planetbeing announced yesterday that the Linux 2.6 kernel was successfully ported for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch platforms. Introducing, iPhone Linux!! It’s the beginning of a real alternative operating system. Currently, it’s only a first rough draft and there are many drivers missing. But it’s a start… They do not have wireless networking, touchscreen, sound, accelerometer, or baseband support YET. More is coming as they develop and stabilize it. In simple terms, it’s like Microsoft DOS. It only has a command line user interface with very few features.

     There is a demo video at the bottom for those who are skeptical. For those of you who are more…

      It seems that the issues of 2.2 are being reported en masse by iPhone users everywhere. After updating their precious devices users are suffering various and inconvenient shortfalls in the utility of their iPhones.  Among the worst of these widespread malfunctions are: 

• Disappearing Apps, both Apple and Thrid Party.
• Loss of WiFi connectivity.
• Loss of 3G and or Edge signal strength.
• And worst of all…..
• Inability to sync with iTunes.

     If you are experiencing issues with 2.2, a downgrade back to 2.1 might be your answer.  But be forewarned…..The procedure might not work and this may force you to have to once…

     In the hype of the Christmas spirit, companies everywhere are releasing new products, offers, catalogs and gift options. This year, even Apple has decided to jump on the bandwagon of providing consumers with an easy gift solution. The fruit of Apple’s tremendous labors boil down to their new product… a gift card.

     Yes it may sound ridiculous and some might also state the fact that Apple already offer gift cards on their website. However this is a gift card with a difference; this is the iPhone 3G Gift Card. The main idea behind this is to encourage more people to…

     Apple’s compelling advertisements are at the heart of their business. Besides cutting edge technology, sleek designs and reliable products, Apple are well known for their ads. Apple take their advertisements so seriously that in 1984 Ridley Scott was hired to direct one that was only aired once in its lifespan during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII. So it may strike you as surprising when it was announced earlier today that a recent Apple advertisement was pulled from UK television screens.

     The controversy surrounding this ad concerns the iPhone 3G and Apple’s claims about its speed and performance capabilities.…

     At first glance, the rules for approval for the App Store seemed pretty simple. Rules such as not directly duplicating the use of pre-installed apps such as Safari or SMS, not creating any kind of risk to security, or the over-usage of bandwidth all seem like fair and simple rules to follow, or so one would think.

     One example of this is the recently approved app, BdEmailer. BdEmailer’s main functionality is simply to allow the sending and receiving of e-mails, much alike the on-board app Mail. So why was this approved when apps such as one by the…

     Many applications have attempted to take advantage of the iPhones music making capabilities, but none so much as FourTrack by Sonoma Wire Works. FourTrack is essentially a four track mixer for your iPhone with a built in recorder that utilizes the microphone on the iPhone. For those technophobes who might not be familiar with what a four track mixer is, it’s basically a device that is used to record musical instruments or vocals on four separate tracks. This means that 4 tracks of audio can be playing at the same time in a mix. Each track has an “arm” which is used…

 Well it looks like Rip Dev has decided to steal BigBoss and Ipodtouchmaster’s idea and try to make it their own.  They have released a newer, uglier, not so smooth application that does much less than SBSettings ever started out doing.

The app is titled Hood, and is accessed by swiping your finger across the status bar and down pops a window that allows you to toggle Airport, Bluetooth, kill active application, and monitor memory usage in real time.  Now I do say that being able to monitor the memory usage would be something I would like to see in SBSettings I can definitely…

     Wow..Just..WOW!….It appears Apple is taking cues from MS. Looks like the new iPhone OS 2.2 is laced with some serious problems. Bugs users apparently face are so significant that the list reads like a Rap-Sheet for a Con, which doesn’t seem far from the truth with this long list of complaints. This is just criminal! The problems involve not only third party apps, but standard iPhone functions as well straight from Apple! Some of which are internet connectivity issues, difficulty deleting emails, and more. Here’s a more detailed run-down:

     3rd Party Apps: Some apps are now just broken.…

 

     Those happy chaps at the iPhone Dev Team have recently replied to Apple’s new 2.2 firmware with a new version of QuickPwn. Less than 24 hrs after Apple released the 2.2 firmware, the Dev Team have supplied a stable jailbreak and unlock for iPhone 2G users and jailbreak for iPod Touch 1G users.

     A lot of disappointment has surrounded this release, as it was thought to herald the release of the iPhone 3G SIM unlock. Many 3G users will be disappointed to see that there is no release as of yet for the iPhone 3G, but the Dev Team…
