WiFi Joker is a upcoming app in Cydia that will allow you to basically break wifi networks so you can join them with your iPhone. The exact description from the developers site is: WiFi Joker, an application that lets you connect to password- protected WiFi networks on your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch.

A member from iPodtouchFan published a screenshot from a framework file that shows that Apple is working on a solution to synchronize your iPhone via Wi-Fi (or maybe Bluetooth). He hex’d a few files in the framework and saw that there are quite a few references to a foreign device, so this will probably mean that Apple will also bring out a device that allows the synchronization. Off course there a still the questions and discussions about the speed and wireless electricity charing…to be continued.

I received a mail from our friends within Fring with some cool news. As i posted some time ago, Fring released their API publicly, see post here. Today they are publicly announcing the first fringAdd-ons developed by fring and 3rd party developers. The first flavors of fringAdd-ons are around social networking, videos and email notifications. As you can see in the screen shots below and in the YouTube clip fring users can already get Gmail notifications, vTap videos, interact with Facebook and Orkut buddies, with more to come.

I received the following mail today and decided to share it with you.
As you probably know, we have designed a fring pre –release version for the iPhone which we made available for the guys to play with around mid April. Also, while not originally designed for, by now we have huge number of iPodtouch users downloading and communicating via fring ….. and they tell us what needs more work.
So here’s a quick heads’ up: we releasing this morning an updated version of fring for iPhone. This version while designed for the iPhone is also addressing issues in the iPodTouch.
I didn’t yet have the time to test the updated version. But for now you can read my full review if you need to get some more detailed information.
The full fring review can be found here.
NYTimes’ Technology blog reports that Apple is currently in active negotiations with music labels about providing more mobile music content on their iTunes store.
One executive quoted specifically states that “[Apple wants] a big launch in June”, presumably referring to the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) scheduled to start on June 9th 2008. However, since negotiations only started a few weeks ago, the deals may not be in place in time for a WWDC announcement.
Apple reportedly wants to expand its Ringtone library and introduce the sale of “Answer Tones”. Answer Tones are customized sounds played to callers instead of the traditional ringing sound.
Another area of negotiation is the distribution of iTunes songs over the cellular network. For now, the iPhone allows you to purchase iTunes music only over Wi-fi networks. This had been thought to be a limitation of the slower EDGE data network, but it appears this mobile music distribution must be specifically negotiated with the record labels.
