The application is fully configurable with many options. Indeed we can decide from which page, stating how many times you have to launch an application before it is taken into account, enable or disable sorting on-the-fly, create a backup of the position of icons and more.

Shantanu, in fact, could not refrain from issuing any bit of information: he said that although great strides made by the company, Apple, unfortunately, does not seem to work too much and seems determined to integrate the native Safari browser features that may offer the Adobe Flash Player.

Not sharing too much thought of the house cupertiniana, the CEO ended the press conference and invite all journalists to pose questions directly to Steve Jobs. Will we ever see a version optimized for our device? As always, we'll see and as soon as there will be new updates, you will be notified via a new article.

"with a simple splash screen that RipDev tells everyone to be "exit from the iPhone scenario. From today, ending the development of Icy and all other programs such as Push, Kate, etc InstallerApp.


Continue to provide assistance to existing customers until the end of this year, after which it will devote to something else. Fortunately for us, not a real goodbye, as the RipDev is our team of systems to iSpazio server, and it is a Slavic him back up and running when there is some drawbacks (like recently).

All we can do to thank this team for the Installer and the applications that we used in recent months.

Bad day for Apple. Nokia, in fact, through a press release, is suing the company in Cupertino, saying that the iPhone does not meet certain patents related to GSM, UMTS and Wi-Fi.


The patents were violated and as many as 10 among them on the wireless transmission of data, encryption and the encryption of the voice signal that, according to Nokia, are not properly respected. Here are some words of Ilkka Rahnasto, Vice President, Legal & Intellectual Property Office:

The principle behind the mobile phone is that those companies that contribute to technological development by establishing standards of use, create the material covered by their own intellectual, for whom others must pay compensation. Even Apple is not exempt from following this principle. In refusing to use the intellectual property of Nokia in adjusted terms, Apple is trying to exploit free innovation from Nokia.

We just have to wait for the response from Apple and, as usual, as soon there will be news, alerts you via a new article.

BigBoss has recently made it known that problems with Winterboard and SBSettings on firmware 3.1.2 are due to the installation of Icy through Blackra1n. GeoHot fact, he would have included a very old version of this application, and when it is installed through Blackra1n, overwrites the new "dpkg" which causes severe damage to the entire system. Therefore, the advice is to only install Cydia and then maybe, then, to proceed with the installation of Icy using the same Cydia.

Keep this in mind ..

After having discussed the possibility in the next update, to draw the exposé by a simple "pinch" on the Springboard and easy access via a page dedicated to Spotlight, Steven Troughton-Smith has just released a new video demo that introduces a new and interesting feature. Here is a video of it:



We had already informed of the work of a fix for "Custom Home Button", the tweak that allows you to assign a specific application to the pressure the home key row. Judging from the video, then, the new function will be precisely this: to draw the exposé by a simple tap the home button. We do not have more on this but, as always, there will be news soon, you will be informed via a new article.

Here's a little guide that allows you to enable tethering on the iPhone 3G and 3GS with firmware 3.1.2. We use a hack that changes the CommCenter and eliminates the need for a digital signature for the appointing authority dedicated to the navigation on the computer, so it should be possible to reset the right data for Vodafone Pack

1. First run Cydia and search for "iphone-notes. Install this repository and return to the tab "Search".

2. Now look for "tethering 3G - 3.1.2" or "tethering 3GS - 3.1.2" depending on the model of your device and install the package.

3. Restart the iPhone and then connect to the site www.unlockit.co.nz directly on the iPhone to create a custom APN. Enter all data necessary for the connection, after you create and install the profile.

After you restart you should see the field "tethering" in the settings (if it had been disabled by the update to firmware 3.1.2), and also you should be able to sail with the appointing authority desired.

Are increasingly insistent voices on Google and the possibility of entering into an even more direct competition with Apple, the iPhone, and even iTunes! Apparently, in fact, the guys at Google are developing the first smartphone owner, not only in software (with the Android OS), but also in hardware.

A true multi-touch Googlefonino characteristics yet to be discovered and that, because of the closeness with Apple, could really surprise us.

The rumors do not end there as TechCrunch has just unveiled the agreements between Google and major music companies to build a new international service called Google Audio, which could provide the ability to stream music and buy it in digital format with a simple download, just as in iTunes.

Please note that Google also has a dedicated proprietary service payments, similar to PayPal, GoogleCheckout called using the same account for Gmail, Google Reader etc.. This would facilitate payments and lower ulteriormenti maintenance costs for download less expensive than that currently offers iTunes.

We'll see!

We have already seen what the Jailbreak, then we should expose all of the main reasons to run, so that each of you can assess for themselves whether or not it agrees.

. .
Why run the Jailbreak:


* Use the OpenSSH: on your iPhone to transfer files to your computer (or vice versa) via WiFi or USB. We will then be able to use our device as a Hard Drive, and we will enter the file system to modify at will.

* Receive and send MMS via the application SwirlyMMS

* Video Recording: by applying Cycorder

* Copy / paste: Thanks to our Clippit Clipboard application, you can add one of the most desiderte by all Copy / paste.

* Use your iPhone as a modem for surfing the internet from your computer using the connection of the mobile phone. This is called "Tethering" and is made possible by several applications. One of all: PdaNet.

* Unlock Bluetooth: Thanks to iBluetooth you can exchange files with other computers or other phones through bluetooth.

* Offline Browsing: Pre-loaded maps of Italy in xgps or Offline Maps, browse offline using the GPS in iPhone 3G, or buying an accessory part.

* Download files from Safari: It can download torrent, video, audio, etc archives.
Just use the Safari Download Plugin or the application dTunes.

* View Flash video in Safari: Using the plugin iMobileCinema, you can play many types of flash video in web pages site.

* Custom Graphics: can create and use themes to completely change any component in the iPhone with simple graphic images in PNG format and application Winterboard.

* Use Widgets: Small applications for use on the StatusBar Lockscreen or for information on weather, or for service call and no answers unread SMS.

* Running applications Backgorund: Using the application Backgrounder, available on Cydia, add a TaskManager on the iPhone, which will ensure not to terminate the application when you click the Home button. In this way we have the opportunity to run multiple applications simultaneously and is particularly useful in the case of IM as Fring, IM Beejive, Nimbuzz, Palringo etc.
. .
Why not run the Jailbreak: Why not run the Jailbreak:

The only reason not to run the Jailbreak is the illegality of the action and the consequent invalidation of the warranty of the device. But according to all the experiences (many) collected to date, in case of problems, just restore the iPhone or iPod Touch with the original firmware, and the Jailbreak will be deleted.
The Apple Retail stories will not protect you in the iPhone, then the warranty really is never lost. . (At least so far has gone well)

One of the main problems encountered by users of iPhone 3G and 3GS is the battery life which, with the push notifications enabled, can not exceed the half-day of life.
