iPhone power saving features may be the cause of network overloads rather then its high bandwidth consumption, according to an ArsTechnica report.

Normally devices that access data networks use an idling state that maintains an open data channel between the device and the network.

However, in order to get more battery life, Apple configured the iPhone’s radio to simply drop a connection once it received its requested data. If more data is necessary the iPhone sets up a new connection. Read more…

Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II will be available on the App Store this Thursday, February 25th, according to a PocketGamer report.

Enhanced graphics and new content top the list of improvements, though the iPhone and iPod touch versions offer new controls by way of the touchscreen.

This will mark the debut of Square Enix’s iconic Final Fantasy franchise on iPhone and iPod touch. Tower defence game Crystal Defenders: Vanguard Storm was inspired by the role-playing series, but is not considered an official installment.

On the list of “I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes” apps, this one takes the cake… and chokes on it.

The free I am choking app could save your life if you are choking on food and can’t speak. If you have your iPhone in hand and can avoid panicking, then you can launch the app, wave your iPhone frantically in front of someone who is nearby, and hope that they can a) read English, and b) follow the instructions in the app to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on you.

New evidence found in the iPhone SDK supports the rumor that the next generation iPhone will support video chat.

9to5Mac has found a few icons in the SDK that seem to “indicate that there will be video calling on an iPxxx device.”

Additional evidence was found hidden in the underlying iPhone telephony apps which contain some “VideoChat strings that are equally, if not more, damning evidence of future VideoChatting capabilities.”

Today some developer released a “pay” package called “Vroom” which sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, it is. Do not install this package. Not only does it not do what it claims, but it is also somewhat dangerous and will wear out your iPhone with limited use. Read below for details. (Note: Zodttd has removed this package from Cydia, but it may creep up somewhere else).

First, this package claims to speed up your iphone, increase your free memory by managing your daemons, and increase your battery usage. Sounds amazing right? Who wouldnt want this?

So what does it really do? It enables memory swap on your device.

What are the results of memory swap on your device? The free memory will appear to be better. That’s because it is using your disk as memory.  But that’s not all. This package is actually just a stolen file that is already on your device, renamed. So that means the “developer” decided to take a file off his iPhone, rename it, and sell it to you for $1.99.

Here is proof that the file is stolen. The original file is dynamic_pager that is provided by Apple in your /sbin folder. The new file from this app is called Vroom_data. Check out the md5sum of both proving that the files are identical: Read more…

This is a great story, true or not take your time in reading this as this is very very entertaining. We have all been to the mall at some point to kill some time just like this gentleman and i’m sure everyone has been to the apple store to kill some time but until now I haven’t heard of such a thing so enjoy guys. Thanks to @hotrod1964 for sharing his story.

@SebastienPage tweeting 2U since U have so many followers.Feel free 2 RT my experience. Went to local APP STORE about 2 weeks ago. For nothing other then I was in the area and had an hour to kill. Figured I’d browse around. Obviously, they were very polite and a salesperson approached me to see if I needed some help (store was not busy at all). Told him “Nope, just browisng”. Being that they were not busy he starts asking me what type of comp I have, what kind of phone and etc…When I told him I dont have an iphone he asked why and if I was interested in 1. Read more…
