You’ve all been wanting to know what Apple had in store for you in their next update. Sorry to disappoint you.

Just a few days ago, the 2.2.1 firmware for the iPhone and iPod Touch family of devices was shown to be in the final stages of testing. Rumors place the firmware’s release sometime in the next couple of weeks. Also revealed was some of the new features that were to be included with it. Many of the details are vague, but essentially the 2.2.1 update doesn’t add much. Several bug fixes that most people won’t even notice have been added, such as the unusual slow syncing with Windows PC’s that are present in certain unusual configurations. There are slight changes to the text messaging interface as well as additional new e-mail support options that have been added for corporate users. There is also a new option being tested that would permit all e-mail messages to be deleted at once instead of the need to select them individually. In the 2.3 release, which has a release date that is unknown, you will be able to sync to iTunes via Bluetooth. Personally, I can’t wait for 2.3. Too bad there’s nothin we can do about it.

As Always, we’ll bring you more info on the subject ASAP. L8RZ 8)

3rd Party Web Browsers Allowed Into App Store

January 18, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

- News -

Over the past few days, a couple of web browsers have been approved for use in certain applications for the iPhone’s App Store. A number of these new web browsing apps have suddenly appeared with original submission dates ranging as far back as October.

Even though Apple has made no official statements, it appears that these applications were likely in a special queue awaiting approval. As you may have noticed, other similar “groups” experience delays in being approved as well. The most notable example involved farting apps like ‘Pull My Finger’ and ‘iFart Mobile’. Once Apple decided to allow the category within the App Store, a backlog of apps quickly appeared. There were some web browsing apps that had been charged with ‘duplicating the functionality’ of other iPhone apps and this was probably the reason why Opera was never approved by Apple.

Here’s a couple of those web browsing apps:

  • Hot Browser (free) – This one’s pretty much a straight-forward web browser. It’s also got a feature that takes you to popular web sites when you shake your iPhone.
  • Shaking Web ($1.99) – This web app adds a sophisticated algorithm to compensate for small hand shaking to allow for easier reading.
  • Incognito ($1.99) – If your a kid who doesn’t want your parents to find out what you’ve been looking at, this one’s for you. This web app let’s you browse without leaving any history what-so-ever. Once you close the browser on your iPhone, the entire history is erased
  • WebMate:Tabbed Browser ($0.99) – Web Mate makes web browsing simpler by queuing up all the links you click on, then allowing you to view them one by one when you’re ready.

Now, these are not replacements for the Safari app, they’re just tools to make your web browsing simpler and funner. Apps like these could mean opportunities for Opera and Firefox to be on the iPhone, though there remain other SDK restrictions that could prevent full-featured versions of those browsers from ever appearing. Still, Apple appears to be loosening some early restrictions they had applied to the App Store approval process.

We’ll get more info on this subject ASAP. L8RZ 8)

Iphone Nano Will Ship to China!!!

January 18, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

The two most well known chip foundries in the business Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing CO. and United Microelectronics Corp are set to get the contract to start making the iphone nano processing chips. The chip orders may come as soon as march and the Iphone Nano  is expected to be launced around June or later. Samsung thought to be the the proccessor supplier for the iphone just fabricated the chip. Apple was the chief designer of the ARM-based proccessor that is used to run the iphone and the iphone 3g with Samsung just providing the factory. Future designs of Apple are rumoured to be made by Apple’s recently acquired company P.A. Semi.

The Upcoming Iphone 4G

January 17, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

With rumors about the iphone nano dying, people have begun to speculate about the next generation iphone, which they are nick-naming “iphone 4g”. It may not come out until a 2012 or so because that is when the next generation of cell networking and data transfers are going to be put to use. The new iphone will probably come with all the hardware and software upgrades everyone wants such as a (32GB Iphone), a better 5mp camera, full bluetooth, and hopefully a better processor. On the software side of things we’re all hoping to see MMS support, copy and paste, syncing overwifi (like the Microsoft Zune), Landscape Email and SMS, and last but not least being able to view flash content in safari and video recording. I wouldn’t mind Live TV since most smartphone already have it but apple will probably come up with something unheard of, something fresh, something that will change mobile phone history…….lets just say they will come up with something APPLE ;)

2nd Gen Ipod JAILBROKEN!!!!! Live Video Tomo @ Noon Cali Time

January 17, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

You read it guys the 2nd gen ipod has been jailbroken by the iphone-dev team once again.

FROM THE IPHONE DEV BLOG

Update 1: Here is the first screenshot of a jailbroken iPod Touch 2G.  Right now the jailbreak process is far too manual to be useful to most people. But this is a first step (well, second step if you include the initial exploit).

When we announced yellowsn0w, we made the mistake of giving an ETA for its release…and that really clobbered the last day of 2008 for us.  So we won’t be issuing a formal ETA for the ipt2G jailbreak.  But we are putting a lot of energy into it.

Update 2: A picture is worth a 1000 words but a video might be better in this day of Photoshop and fake YouTube videos.  So we’re thinking of doing what we did before Christmas for yellowsn0w — show a demo of the jailbreak on Musclenerd’s Qik account (announced via his twitter account over there on the right hand side).  Since Qik provides a live chatroom right next to the video, we’ll probably be in there too right after the video’s over. Note: anybody posing as any devteam member on that chat right now is faking it.  We won’t be on that chat except for a very specific time that we’ll announce. (We may possibly not even do the chat since it’s so ripe for abuse).

Update 3: It looks like we’ll do the Qik broadcast on Saturday afternoon (California time).  It’ll be announced through MuscleNerd’s twitter.  Unfortunately the Qik chatroom seems unmanageable, with no way to control the nicknames being used. So we’ll avoid it altogether — nobody on the Qik chat claiming to be us is actually us, so please don’t be fooled.
