Competition Announcement
As you’re aware iPhone applications are getting 3G support and the latest app to join the group is the EyeTV. If you’ve been an EyeTV user then this is a good news for you. The latest version (v3.3 available now on iTunes) of EyeTV now supports 3G, so you’re no longer locked down to only WiFi connections; you can now watch TV on the move. Exciting, ay!! Yes, may be for some because unless you’ve got a big data plan you might be in for a bit of a shock when the bill arrives. So my suggestion, use wisely :).
Yet again Apple (this time teaming up with AT&T apparently) has played the big brother role by blocking the latest Google mobile voice app. GV Mobile or Google Voice, which seems to bring a big buzz “gives you one number for all your phones, voicemail as easy as email, and lots of cool calling features”. GV Mobile brings the power of Google Voice to your iPhone. It allows you to:
- Dial numbers via the iPhone address book or typing on the keypad
- Full SMS support (view historic, reply, send new)
- Retrieve and delete recent call history
- Playback and delete voicemails
- Take calls from different phones other than your iPhone
- Enable or disable the phones that Google Voice forwards calls to
- Add or delete phones that Google Voice forwards call to
Like other Apps in the past, Apple seems to think somehow GV mobile doesn’t have a place in the AppStore. Why? Well, Apple knows that better. But it looks like Apple has merely just moved it from its AppStore to the open market by rejecting it as GV Mobile or Google Voice App developer Sean Kovacs has already released it to Cydia, a heaven for jailbroken iPhone owners.
So there you go Apple, you just took the trouble to reject the app which really didn’t make any difference to the developer nor to the end users except for some who is still reluctant to jailbreak their iPhone. Well, I this will be another reason for you to Jailbreak your iPhone if you haven’t done already. And trust me, they way Apple is trying to play their game, you’ll see a lot more like this. So be prepared guys/gals.
Now, even though you can download and install the app you can’t use it unless you’ve a Google voice account. And right now Google allows invite only (remember Gmail’s early days?) registration. To invite yourself, go here: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/ and put your email address and wait for Google to send you an invite.
If you’re interested to Jailbreak your iPhone then just follow these easy steps and see how good it feels to have the freedom of both worlds.
Here’s a quick demo of the app:

Feel like pizza tonight but don’t feel like picking up the phone and order one? Well, don’t worry. You don’t have to call to order a pizza anymore. Just download the Pizza Hut app from the App Store and select your pizza and order from the comfort of your lounge room. The app has interesting features like shaking your iPhone to add extra sauce and things like that. As interesting as it may sound and even thought the app is available on Australian App Store, it only works for US only at this stage. So you may have to wait for sometime before Australian Pizza Hut catch up with the technology. Until then pick up your phone and order your Pizza the traditional way tonight.
We see the demand on iPhone 3G S because of its need added features and upgraded hardware. A colleague of mine at work could not get one last week because no one has any in stock in Melbourne. That was a surprise for me.
Anyway, that is not the topic of this post. The topic of this post is “How to Jailbreak and Unlock Your iPhone 3G S“. If you’ve got one then I am sure you’ve been thinking about Jailbreaking/Unlocking it (if you haven’t done it already). If you’re reading this article then chances are that you haven’t done that yet. So, here comes the step by step procedures (thanks to our forum member) to Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 3G S. Just follow these steps carefully and you’ll have your latest and fastest iPhone 3G S Jailbroked and Unlocked in no time. Good Luck!
Before we look into this latest iPhone accessory I should ask, how many iPhone or iPhone Touch do you have? 1, 2 or 3? If the answer is more than one then you may consider looking at this new accessory for iPhone which has been introduced in Japan. It’s an ultra small server rack that allows racking up to 5 iPhone or iPod Touch. Why do you want to build a server with your iPhone? Well I don’t see any good reason but some of you may find it useful, who knows!

Well, this is a really hard one. If you aren’t happy with your iPhone case protection and looking for a harder, tougher one then you may consider looking at this steel case by EXOvault. As the name suggests it provide vault-like protection for your iPhone. Really!! Why do we need this kind of protection for that bulky metal look again? Well I am confused, are you? Anyway, if you can somehow justify it then make sure you have some spare cash lying around as you will need USD $95 for Aluminium/Brass version and USD $300 for the Titanium to get hold of one.
I’ll leave it to you now to decide.
