Happy new year to all my fellow readers, followers on twitter and to all the people around the world. It looks like we all made it another year. Us iphone users have had our ups and downs but we always seem to prevail, from the new bootroms breaking our jailbreaks, to the new baseband upgrades that block our iphone unlocks, the iphone users in the hacking/homebrew community is what keeps the iphone interesting and most importantly this site alive. To all the iphone users that have a jailbroken iphone my cup goes up to you all. Happy New Years.

I would also like to thank xsellize.com for they are the best iphone forum around. All of the cracks you get from here are because of them and their very talented staff so thanks to them. Now below is a video showing you the great times the iphone had in 2009 brought to you by iPhonix.

Coming this CES (which is actually next week): a complete credit card transaction accessory and service for your iPhone. If this thing works as expected, you might actually see it in more than a few places (think: street vendors that will take credit card payments). A company called Mophie is planning to show off an add-on that works with an app to deliver credit card payments through Square, a payment service recently started up by Jack Dorsey, a Twitter alumni. This is one of a couple such systems that will be vying to fulfill the function (and probably take a few cents from each transaction for their troubles), but so far all we’ve really got is demos, no actual releases planned.

But maybe we’ll hear more at CES. There’s all kinds of applications here — a solid, working implementation of a service like this could end up being extremely popular for anybody that regularly needs to conduct transactions out in the field.

After years of research and untold hours listening to drunk relatives, developers at bitCycle have launched Drunkalizer for the iPhone. With the ability to record voices and play them back as they would sound while inebriated, Drunkalizer is entertaining iPhone users everywhere just in time for New Year’s Eve.

Using the iPhone’s built in microphone to record your friends’ (or your own) voices and to play them back through Drunkalizer’s revolutionary anti-sobriety filtering, enables users to hear what they’ll sound like when they’ve had a few. Drunkalizer is not a scientifically proven sobriety check, nor is Drunkalizer a portable breathalyzer, however it is great fun and perfect for New Year’s parties everywhere. Read more…

It’s always great to see indie developers banding together for cross promotion, and even better when those joint efforts result in some fantastic deals. The Second Annual New Year’s App Blowout which was put together by the guys at Howling Moon Software is back again to ring in the new year with a bunch of games (and a few apps) on sale. All of these prices should be in effect by now, with normal pricing returning sometime after the first of the year.

Facing intense criticism of its mobile network coverage from a variety of sources, AT&T has both failed to deploy its iPhone tethering strategy and to successfully get its 3G MicroCell product into widespread distribution.

New tethering services would exacerbate AT&T’s existing network capacity problems, but availability of the 3G MicroCell would help to solve localized service holes for the company. The product is still confined to limited testing in just a few cities, which perplexingly do not include the two markets that are so infamous in terms of poor service that AT&T’s CEO has made apologetic remarks addressing them directly: New York City and San Francisco.

John Gruber from Daring Fireball has posted with his thoughts on the much rumored Apple Tablet.

Here’s the thimbleful of information I have heard regarding The Tablet (none of which has changed in six months): The Tablet project is real, it has you-know-who’s considerable undivided attention, and everyone working on it has dropped off the map. I don’t know anyone who works at Apple who doubts these things; nor do I know anyone at Apple who knows a whit more. I don’t know anyone who’s seen the hardware or the software, nor even anyone who knows someone else who has seen the hardware or software.

The cone of silence surrounding the project is, so far as I can tell, complete.

Gruber continues to hypothesis about what the tablet will do, where it fits in the Apple product line, and what operating system it will run. Hit the link below to read the entire post.

FOXNews.com claims to have received confirmation from a “source inside Apple” that the company will in fact be holding a media event on January 26th in San Francisco. According to the source, the “big” event will focus on the “mobility space”, suggesting an iPhone, iPod touch, or, as many people expect, tablet announcement.

Following a Financial Times report that Apple has scheduled a special media event for January 26th in San Francisco, I’ve spoken to a source inside Apple who confirmed a “big” event for January.

A German iPhone user has reported receiving a refurbished iPhone 3G in a box labeled for an 8GB iPhone 3GS. “David,” a moderator on the apfeltalk forums, has posted a photo (Translated Link) of the box’s serial number/IMEI label, which clearly says “iPhone 3GS v2.2, 8GB;” iPhone 3G S also appears on the box’s contents label. David reports that the phone inside is indeed an iPhone 3G, running software 3.0.1, despite the box’s markings. Evidence of an 8GB iPhone 3GS model appeared as early as this August in a supposed internal Rogers Wireless memo and on the carrier’s website; it is expected that this new low-end model would replace the current 8GB iPhone 3G in Apple’s lineup.
