The new iPhone 3GS models with updated ROM do not allow users to perform the traditional full jailbreak. As a result, there may be instances when the user may be required to perform a tethered jailbreak everytime their iPhone crashes or reboots. This can be an annoying experience especially if you are away from your computer or cannot tether immediately.
iDongle is a device that can come pretty handy under such circumstances. This is a standalone piece of hardware that comes with a mini-USB connector on one end and a male 30 pin connector on the other. The 60x30mm piece uses a 9V battery to offer the necessary power to not only boot your jailbroken iPhone, but also assist in jailbreaking and hacktivating the same if it is not already done. iDongle currently supports iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G/3G models.
Hong Kong – Dsstyles, the innovator for putting flat back round Swarovski Crystals now brings customers with the new elements: Flat Back Square Swarovski Crystals on phone cases. The new Cubical series comes available in different patterns. The use of flat back square crystals brings new charm and new visual effect for your Swarovski Crystallized iPhone case.
This is the best news for ladies who love both round shape or square of crystals. The crystals effect has never been that sharp as the reflections between crystals becomes different. During the 2010 Oscar Awards, Swarovski crystals was the front and centre – its stage curtain sparkled in hues of white, platinum, brighter than those shiny teeth of Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock. This is exactly the surprise from combining the use of different crystals.
The Daily Telegraph reports that a new Apple patent has surfaced which could potentially allow the iPhone, or another Apple portable, to act as a sort of electronic key. The potential applications are as limitless as the number of things locked by old-school metal keys. It could be used for cars, offices, homes, or lockers. Basically, anything that could have an electronic receiver mounted to it in place of a metal tumbler-style lock could then use an iPhone as a key.
While Ars Technica notes that “the patent application itself merely describes a unique way of using motion detection to generate an input, such as turning a virtual combination lock-style dial,” the patent itself, as reported by the Telegraph, says that the device could be “any suitable electronic device such as a portable media player, personal data assistant or electronic lock” that could open up any number of physical lock types just by communicating wirelessly.
Applications like ProSwitcher and Multifl0w have offered jailbroken iPhone users the ability to multitask between applications. However, if you have to toggle between just two iPhone apps, here is an application that will make the process much simpler.

Remember Infinidock – a nifty tool for jailbroken iPhone users that enables horizontal scrolling on the iPhone dock?
Now chpwn, the developer of Infinidock and other jailbreak iPhone apps like ProSwitcher has released another useful application that will enable vertical scrolling on your iPhone.
I love the look of the shiny back case of the iPhone but it only takes a drop or a few weeks of rough use for your iPhone to get scratches all over its surface and lose its shiny luster.
If this has already happened to you, here is a DIY tutorial that can help your iPhone gets its shine back courtesy Shenaniganz08, member of MacRumors forums.
One of the biggest barriers to entry for people who want to develop their own iPhone apps is the requirement to actually know how to program in Objective C. Runtime Revolution (AKA RunRev) has been developing and marketing a HyperCard-like development environment since 1997. Read more…
It was a little less than a month ago when news broke of a South Korean company called CJ Corporation noticing a sharp increase in sales of their frozen sausages. CJ did some digging around and it turned out the good people of South Korea were using their sausages as iPhone styluses.
Someone who was sick of taking their gloves off in the cold Korean winter to use their iPhone found out that the sausages were electrostatically compatible with the iPhone’s touch screen, and nearly as effective as using a human finger.
Developers who try to log into the iPhone dev center or iTunes Connect this afternoon are being greeted with the traditional yellow sticky note or the Sorry! note above, indicating that some sort of update effort is underway. With the on-again, off-again release of the 3.2 beta 3 version of the SDK in late February, and the unconfirmed-but-likely launch of the iPad on March 26th, no surprise that there are fixes and finish to take care of on the site.
That headline is probably a bit of an overstatement, since this is probably the only iPhone stand made out of cutlery. ForkedUpArt of North Salt Lake, Utah, is actually selling two different stands. ForkHead, who you see standing at attention at your right, and SpoonHead, ForkHead’s smarter brother.
Sold through our favorite iPhone accessory store, Etsy.com, the ForkedUpArt iPhone stands can be customized if you want, and according to the artist, “I’m making these guys as fast as I can.”
One of the known issues with a hacktivated iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0 or later is that the Push Notification feature doesn’t work. The iPhone Dev Team had released a fix to resolve the issue back in July, but it had a major flaw.
There is finally some good news for all those who have been patiently waiting for a fix as Push Doctor has just been released on the Cydia Store to fix the push notification issue.
New York, NY – Yes, there’s money to be made in the App Store and everyone wants in on the action. More than 40 million iPhone and iPod touch users have downloaded more than 1 billion apps through Apple’s iTunes App Store. With stats like that, it’s easier than ever to make money in the App Store, right? Think again.
According to Apple, roughly 8,500 new apps and updates to existing apps are submitted each week to the Apple app review team. In this crowded marketplace, it’s increasingly difficult for developers to get new apps noticed. Without marketing to gain the necessary publicity and exposure, a killer app may simply get lost in the relentless stream that floods the App Store on a daily basis. So how do developers utilize the skills of marketers and what steps are needed for a new app to get noticed?
If you have activated your iPhone through an unauthorized carrier (aka hacktivation) on iPhone 3.x, then your Push Notifications functionality in most cases will be broken. Even if you have tried getting it to work through “PushFix” via iPhoneil available in Cydia, it wont work as that fix uses a single shared certificate for all users who have installed it. This causes battery drainage and huge use of cellular data access.
Then came PushFix 2.0, which was the first “real” working solution for fixing Push Notifications on hacktivated iPhones. The only problem with PushFix 2.0 was that it used to charge a small fee, which according to its developer was justified because he used to provide solution plus support.
