About 2 months ago we told you about whited00r, a project that brings custom jailbreaking tools, which we can use to create custom 3.1.3 firmwares that will replicate iOS 4. The initial idea was to create a 3.1.3 FW that replicates iOS 4 for iPhone 2G And iPod Touch 1G because Apple stopped updating those devices.
Although iControlPad never materialized, gPod, an iPhone case with an integrating gaming control pad, hopes to see the light of day.
Interfacing with the Apple 30 pin connector and providing tactile buttons in the conventional game pad layout, the iPhone Game Pad allows a massive library of arcade and console games to be ported to the iPhone and not loose that old school interface that people who grew up in the 80′s and 90′s enjoyed so much.

Other i-devices are out of luck due to technical reasons. Read more…
3G Unrestrictor. 3G Unrestrictor allows you to go around the iOS device’s limitation and restrictions of not being able to use some of the apps on 3G or EDGE. Basically it tricks the apps on thinking they are on WiFi , even though you are on 3G or EDGE. For Update Info: Read more…

As you guys may know the iphone 4 is causing major problems for Apple and At&t online stores. Just like most of you I had major problems and wasn’t able to get an order to go through until mid afternoon after several hours of trying, I must say it was very frustrating.

The reason being is that unlike last years iphone upgrade the iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4 actually has new features other than just a speed boost and double the memory. Read more…
