Rest in peace, iPhone 3.1. It was just last month that the most recent iPhone update hit the streets and already it’s been superseded by the younger, faster, better-looking iPhone 3.1.2 that Apple released on Thursday. Whither iPhone 3.1.1? I’m afraid we may never know.

iPhone 3.1.2 appears to be focused mainly on providing bug fixes for a few problems introduced in iPhone 3.1. Apple specifically calls out a problem where iPhones may not wake from sleep—it remains to be seen if this is the issue that some users had dubbed “coma mode”. Read more…

Verizon has launched an offensive against AT&T and Apple in their latest video ad.

The ad mocks the iPhone “There’s an app for that” ads with a slogan of their own, “There’s a map for that”.

“If you want to know why your 3G coverage works so well on Verizon Wireless? There’s a map for that.

Or why you can watch video at 3G speeds almost everywhere? There’s a map for that.

And if you wanna know why some people have spotty 3G coverage? There’s a map for that too.

Yep, with 5x more 3G coverage then the nation’s number two company, There’s lots of reasons to switch to Verizon wireless.”

MacDailyNews notes that, what Verizon offers is a 3G network that’s larger, but slower; V-Cast videos (yuck); and crappy app-less phones that don’t measure up to iPhone, so users barely use them to tax Verizon’s network. It’s easy to boast about network quality, when you have nothing stressing your network. We’d rather live through AT&T’s growing pains, enjoy their largely hands-off approach (especially vs. the dictatorial device-limiting Verizon), and be able to keep our iPhones, thanks.

Adobe is working on Flash 10.1, which is a version that’s finally supposed to suck less — battery power and cpu cycles, that is. Meaning, it might just be a contender to finally bring acceptable performance to mobile clients like the iPhone sometime in 2010, even if everyone BUT Apple has signed on at this point.

Back up: since the iPhone debuted with the first mobile web client that actually rendered “just the internet”, some users have clamored for Flash. And why now? They were used to that also being on “just the internet”. However, the iPhone was still a mobile device and Flash is still notorious for bloat, bugs, and otherwise non-Mobile friendly behavior (and no, we won’t mention the increased Read more…

Ngmoco sent us word of new teasers for Eliminate, the first-person iPhone (and iPod touch) shooter they showed off on Apple’s Keynote stage for iPhone 3.0. Now, I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of the teaser concept. Rather than build interest, I find they just cause me to tune out after a while. Literally, too much of a good thing.

However, Eliminate really is looking to be a good thing, if not a great thing, so I’m posting the one video so far that makes us really, really want them to get this game out. See, to me the fun in Golden Eye and Halo was never the game. It was hunting down and picking off my friends. Read more…

Okay kids, this is starting to get a little out of hand now. Palm has once again pushed back at Apple, releasing webOS 1.2.1 today that “resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with the latest version of iTunes.” What’s that issue you might ask? Well, I’d say the fact that Apple isn’t too happy that Palm is breaking all sorts of rules to make their device appear as an iPhone. Read more…

Operation is very simple, in fact, after you install the application, just open the program and decide between three options:

• Drive + iTunes, that will enable the iPhone as a hard drive from the PC / Mac or from iTunes;
• Default: the iPhone will be detected only on iTunes;
• Drive Only: the iPhone will be detected only as a USB mass storage.

To ensure that the iPhone is detected as a hard disk, you must create a virtual disk. Simply click on “Create Disk …” and then choose the name and size to associate with the virtual disk. The directory of the virtual disk will be located in / var / Volumes /.

Caution: We recommend not installing this application on iPhone 3GS. Being a beta software might cause problems and prevent the recognition in bringing iTunes to restore firmware, as you know the iphone 3g is a luxury that not everyone can afford to mess up as some people don’t have ecid’s saved.

You can download USB Drive from this repository: http:// apt.dmytro.me. Beta 2 expires on 1 November.
