October 15, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

9 to 5 Mac reports that it has received a note from an AT&T spokesperson asking the site to remove a reference suggesting that the company would support Internet tethering via the iPhone by the end of 2009.

We believed it was coming later this year, until we got a note from an AT&T spokeman. He told us to correct a post that said AT&T will be delivering tethering in 2009. Specifically, he said (his font color, not ours):

“Just reading again – where did anyone promise tethering by EOY? Where did you see that? We promised MMS by end of summer Read more…

Palm webOS 1.2.1 Fixes iTunes Sync

October 04, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

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…

Cydia: USB Drive Turns Your iPhone Into A Hard Drive

October 04, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

IMG_0076IMG_0077IMG_0078

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.

iPhone App Developer Jacks Your Phone Number to Pitch You More Apps

September 30, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Swiss software firm Mogo has a novel strategy, for iPhone apps! Step one: Release a free version of your paid app. Step two: Use it to secretly steal users’ phone numbers.Step three: Call them, obnoxiously. Step four: Profit!

We’re all used to a little in-app upselling by now, but hey, coders gotta eat. For an app developer to call your phone and harangue you into upgrading to a paid version of their software, however, is really brazen, and something Apple shouldn’t tolerate. Read more…

FIFA 10 coming to iPhone this Friday

September 30, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

What’s it going to take for us to get developers to release games for Apple products earlier than two years after the fact? The iPhone, apparently — EA has announced that their soccer flagship FIFA 10 will be available for the iPhone this Friday, which is the same day the console game shows up in stores as well. The game will have everything the full versions have, including real teams and leagues, a licensed soundtrack, and all of the usual soccer standbys. One thing missing: online multiplayer, though local wifi multiplayer will be available.

Sounds good to us, especially if you’re a fan of the sport all those crazy Europeans call football. The app should be $9.99, befitting of a premium EA sports app, though there will probably be a sale on it sooner or later. Now, about that actual Mac version…
