I have noticed a lot of people having trouble with mms working. I have written fool proof instructions to get your mms 100% working if you are using an iPhone 3G or a 3GS. If the following does not get your mms working I suggest you call AT&T and make sure they didn’t forget about unblocking mms on your account. Of course you can tell them a little white lie when they ask you if your on firmware 3.1.

Note: If you do the following be sure to uninstall any tethering hack you have installed on your jailbroken iphone. Whether it be the mms/tethering hack from cydia or just the downloaded mobile config files from websites. Uninstall all of them and the reset your network settings before doing the following.

The download below is the 5.5 ipcc carrier settings update AT&T pushed out today to enable mms. The file has been edited by stealthbravo over at modmyi for us users who are wanting to stay on firmware 3.0. The edited file adds the internet tethering option and cellular data network settings along with the correct mms settings. The official unedited file adds mms but you don’t get the tethering option or the ability to edit your cellular data that is why if your like me, you will use this very helpful file that adds the extra features.

After downloading the ipcc wait… You still have to do a few extra steps before using it because itunes doesn’t allow you to update your carrier settings using the ipcc file. Do the following exactly as stated: Read more…

TomTom’s much-anticipated iPhone GPS car kit has appeared on a number of European Apple online stores, including the UK store. Scheduled to ship in 2-3 weeks, the kit is priced at £99.95 (US$164.10) in the UK and 99.95 Euro (US$147.90) in other European countries, which includes the TomTom iPhone application.

Did you notice?

You get both the TomTom navigation app for your iPhone 3GS or 3G and the docking kit to hold your iPhone securely in place on your dashboard or windscreen.

Details on the car kit, including the user guide, were posted to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s site late last month. The kit, which had been expected to be launched this summer, was pushed back to an October release earlier this month.

TomTom’s car kit contains an external GPS receiver and other hardware features and has been claimed to be compatible with the iPod touch and other GPS iPhone applications from other vendors, but Apple’s product description makes no mention of compatibility with those offerings.

the oddly named iTwinge, an iPhone sleeve that does the trick in the simplest of fashions: it merely covers the software keys with real, physical ones. Cool, one might think for a split second: I can finally type without looking! However, a closer inspection of iTwinge reveals a number of problems.

First of all, it makes your iPhone a lot fatter than such a sexy gadget should be. Furthermore, iPhone’s keyboard has some advantages over physical keyboards: it adapts to different situations (for example, the “.com” key is only there when you need it), it gives you a choice of typing some alternative symbols if you press and hold a key, etc. None of those will really translate well to iTwinge. Not to mention the fact that it won’t work particularly well when you flip the iPhone over to its side.

Still, it might be useful in certain situations. For example, if you must write a blog post or a long email, and the only device you have at your disposal is the iPhone, iTwinge might come in handy. According to the manufacturer, “an average user will improve their speed by 30% to 40% and simultaneously reduce typing errors by 70 – 80%”.

If you’re interested, bear in mind that it must be plugged into the iPhone, and it uses some of its power, but luckily it doesn’t require any software. It works with the iPhone 3G and 3GS and you can get it for the price of $29.99.

At Apple’s “It’s Only Rock and Roll” media event last week, the company introduced new iPod touch models with 32 GB and 64 GB capacities, advertising the devices as offering “up to 50 percent faster performance”. Macworld has performed speed tests comparing the new iPod touch to the previous-generation model, and found that on a number of tasks the new model does meet or exceed Apple’s performance claims.

The speed tests conducted were similar to ones run in June on the iPhone 3GS, and while the new iPhone running Apple’s just-released iPhone OS 3.1 was not included in the latest comparison, the new iPod touch appears to even be slightly faster at some tasks than the iPhone 3GS.

But it’s not just in benchmarks such as these where the new iPod wins out. Just as the iPhone 3GS was faster than the iPhone 3G at everything, the new iPod touch feels much faster at any task you throw at it: applications launch (and quit) faster, Web pages load more quickly, processor-intensive games and programs perform better — you name it.

We’ll be testing the latest iPod touch’s performance — compared to both the previous touch and the iPhone 3GS — for our official review, but it’s clear that Apple has beefed up its newest touchscreen device.

Everyone, including Steve Jobs, has very reasonable sounding theories as to why the third gen iPod touch camera was removed. Rather than rehash it again, however, we thought we’d let our minds wonder into parody, and consider what might have happened in a world only slightly more cartoonish than ours…

Steve Jobs, fresh from his recent leave of absence, comes crashing back into Apple’s Cupertino campus, and after fixing the typography on the iPhone 3G S 3GS, tweaking some pixels on the Snow Leopard UI, and spending time meditating deep in the iTablet vault, he heads over to the scorched closet that used to be reserved for iPhone A2DP testing…

“64GB a go?” he demands. “Good”

“Is it thinner?” grumble. “Next year…”

“What about those ultra-tiny auto-focus 3 megapixel Read more…

A few days ago, Apple released the firmware update to version 3.1 to 3.1.1 for iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. Playing with the new version of software, some users have just noticed that the iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G (without jailbreak) integrate all the functions of video-editing, exactly like the iPhone 3GS!
