O2 has put up a banner that they’re no longer offering the 8gb and 16gb iPhones.
It’s hard to imagine both companies are going to just stop selling such a high profile device for too long, but clearly we’re all still in the dark as to when its 3G replacement will officially be out.

The guys from Fring just dropped me some news.

They have updated Fring to version 0.9785 and it resolves the famous SMS deletion problem.

Official post :

The new version includes the following fixes:

1. Issues resulting in deleted SMS (additional QA work on our side still in progress)
2. mVoIP calls on 1.1.2 are now fully supported.
3. Incoming SIP calls are also available with this new version

This morning Apple release Beta 5 version of the iPhone SDK.
According to first reports, there are no new features.
The update probably only brings some bugfixes for the developers.
This iPhone SDK includes a set of tools, compilers, frameworks, and documentation for creating iPhone OS applications.

Macrumors is reporting that another pictures of the so called 3G iphone has surfaced.
Again there’s no confirmation, and there likely will be no confirmation until june..
But i don’t want to withhold this from you guys.
» Another 3G iphone picture?

Engadget supposedly has some leaked pictures of the White iPhone 3G.
It looks very much like the previous leaked pictures of the iPhone dimensions(check previous post here).

Yet again i have to say that this new design does not appeal me at all.

I still prefer the first gen iPhone the most. But are these real? We shall know in the beginning of june

Vodafone’s had some nice news this morning.
They’ve announced that they signed a deal Apple to sell the iPhone in ten markets, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy (so much for Telecom Italia), India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. Expect the phone later this year

Some days ago i showed you guys already some screenshots regarding Installer 3.1.
This new feature is going to make my work a little easier.
Now i won’t have to show you in which category the app’s or games are, you will be able to search for them in the Installer !!
You can search within a category or do a global search when you select all applications.
One of the other new features i found is in the sources.
It seems that from now on, you will be able to install packages from locally on your iPhone (~/Media/installer) . I don’t know yet why this feature is here, but i think we will soon find out.

It’s the night of the warnings, first with Fring and now this news.

Jonathan “NerveGas” Zdziarski, all round iPhone hacker and author of the “iPhone Open Application Development” has found out that when you restore your iPhone to any firmware version, your personal data isn’t deleted or overwritten. So if you ever sell or need to bring back your iPhone to apple, think twice about just restoring.

Your mails, contacts, and other data remain on the device after a restore!!

For now there’s no cleaning tool available yet, but i guess with this news, it won’t take very long.
» Warning: Restore doesn’t erase your personal data!

Some websites are now reporting that Fring(versie pre-release v0.978) is causing serious issues with your sms messages.
If you are using Fring and at the same time that you receive a sms message, there’s a high possibility that your full sms database will be erased.
The developer has been informed of the bug and we expect to see a update very soon.

This is a tutorial not for the faint at heart.
I’m going to show you step by step how to get the firmware version 2.0 5A240d onto your iPhone with WinPwn.

Let me start by explaining what pwning is. Pwning is making your iPhone totally independence from Apple’s vision on what the iPhone (and iPod Touch) can and cannot do. Currently it will allow you to restore to a jailbroken and unlocked state, and if you can figure it out - some extra cool stuff like Installer, Cydia, and other applications. You will eventually be able to backup your entire phone and restore to a state exactly the way you like it, restore straight to jailbroken state with installer, or even potentially install other OSes like linux (see iphonelinux.org) to your phone.

Ok back to the tutorial
