YouTube user slicedcheddarcheese has posted a video of Opera Mini 4.1 beta running on the iPhone.

Opera mini 4.1 works in this way:
- You enter the website address on your cellphone.
- The website info will be sent to Opera’s servers.
- The servers will download and compress the whole website for you(compresses up to 90%!), then it sends the website to your handset, making internet browsing much more cheaper and faster. Read more…

Apptrackr has been released. Go to apptrackr.org.

If you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last few weeks, earlier this month I announced apptrackr, a replacement for Appulous. We took the time to make apptrackr very nice looking, and I’ve done my best to optimize it and increase its performance to handle a large, large audience of users.

First and foremost, I’d like to thank all of our beta testers (Advancements) for not only their contributions but for making so many great suggestions and finding quite a few bugs for us to fix. Without you, apptrackr would not be here today!

Apptrackr is advantageous to Appulous for several reasons. In theory, the website should be faster than Appulous (considering we’re on three times the hardware that Appulous is) and the website’s caching functionality is advanced (it uses ideas from Kyek’s RECache algorithm). The website is much better looking, running a theme that we’ve refined for the best presentation and user experience. We also support most iTunes stores, instead of just the US store, for app submission.

Greetings to everyone in the cracked apps scene! My name is TDDebug, and it’s my pleasure to come forward today with some optimism and signs of progress. Today is a landmark.

What’s with Appulous?

Appulous is the largest iPhone and iPod Touch application database in the entire world (except for iTunes, of course ) and has been the scene’s number one source for over a year now. It was created by Kyek, who knew that the scene needed a large application database to ensure quality and organization.

However, due to Kyek’s personal life becoming more and more hectic, he is unable to manage, optimize, develop, or scale Appulous to meet the demands of millions of users. The website has suffered from his inactivity, and has gotten extremely slow and periodically unavailable. This isn’t just pissing off normal users, this is bothersome to crackers who find it difficult to make submissions to Appulous due to its slow speed.

What’s the solution, then?

We can’t just wait another half a year for things to get better like last time. After the introduction of the troll bridge, Appulous quality and speed has gotten so poor that we have been begged to solve this problem.

The solution: I have created a new website called apptrackr which will completely replace Appulous, which is shutting down soon. Apptrackr will inherit the Appulous database and be managed by not only myself but several designers and programmers from all-around!

What kind of Christmas present is this? The Consumerist is reporting that AT&T has stopped selling the iPhone in the New York metropolitan area, at least via the company’s website, due to high data congestion (or possibly due to online fraud). Update: While Consumerist’s post still cites ‘network congestion’ as the reason for the NYC sales hold, we’ve been told by other customer service reps that the real reason is a spike in fraudulent purchases; other sites have gotten the same story.

I never thought it would get this popular and I thank the people that keep coming back and the ones to come. I’m in a big debate and I want you the users to pick the outcome of this site and my hard work for the past year. I have a professional designer redoing the whole website and believe me, you guys are going to love it as it will give you a better user experience and bring a lot more new features. Below is a preview of the banner:

It is your turn to help, you the reader needs to decide whether you want this website to become a news / review website like theiphoneblog.com and ispazio.net or stay the way it is focusing on cracks, hacks, and news for the iPhone. Both options have their advantage as being a review website you will get youtube reviews, appstore reviews, cydia app reviews, up to date news every day, professional iphone usage tutorials with video, and apple product giveaways. Being a hack / crack website you will get the latest cydia app cracks available, the latest iphone hacks available. That is just a little info on where this site is going. I will also be adding a professional forum using vbulletin so you get a great user experience and you feel like you are browsing the xsellize forums but even better. So what are you waiting for, vote now for what you want this site to be!!!
