| Apple Touts Record Quarter Earnings, Promises “Wonderful New Products” |
| 2008-07-21 20:17:29 |
Wait. I think I have something in my eye.
**rub**rub**
Nope. Still there. Those words are still there. But let me back up.
Turns out that this June quarter has been the best June quarter in Apple history, pimping gross revenue of $7.46bn and a net quarterly profit of $1.07bn. Compare that against [...]...

| Press Release: Ilium Software Releases eWallet for iPhone |
| 2008-07-21 12:08:20 |
It’s nice to see more and more dev houses hop on to the iPhone/Touch platform from the Palm and PocketPC worlds. Having come from both worlds myself it makes me feel a little more like the iPhone is starting to get all the good companies I knew and loved from Ye Olden Tymes. [...]...

| Pwnage 2.0 on Windows? Not for the Faint of Heart |
| 2008-07-20 15:56:32 |
So the new Pwnage 2.0 tool has been released to much fanfare, but aimed mainly at the non-n00b crowd, and strictly for the Mac at the moment. So what’s a Windows user to do? We could wait. We’re used to that. Or you could do like user Srini has done and [...]...

| Sega: The iPhone is as Powerful as Dreamcast |
| 2008-07-20 10:59:27 |
Sega of American president Simon Jeffery was, as you might expect, present at E308, and thankfully he had time to sit down and be interviewed by Kotaku to talk about the company and its current and future plans.
Bolstered by the roaring success of Super Monkey Ball and an adoration for the platform, Simon stated that [...]...

| Pwnage 2.0: First Look |
| 2008-07-20 00:29:18 |
Those of you who are waiting eagerly for the Dev Team’s all-singing, all-dancing roll-your-own-firmware has been released — kinda. In its present incarnation, it’s still very much for hardcore hackers only, and doesn’t yet play nice with the one-touch hack crowd. It is advised that if you want the so-easy-a-caveman-can-do-it version, give it [...]...

| Super Monkey Ball To Be Updated |
| 2008-07-20 00:05:18 |
There’s no doubt that Super Monkey Ball was one of the killer launch apps for the App Store. We saw it demoed at the SDK keynote and we just couldn’t wait for it to be released. When it did though, it didn’t quite live up to everyone’s expectations. The major concern was [...]...

| Press Release: Intego VirusBarrier X5 First Antivirus to Scan iPhone |
| 2008-07-19 22:48:26 |
I suppose it was only a matter of time — we already saw (and unfortunately experienced the problems cause by) McAfee’s preliminary attempts at creating a virus scanner for the iPhone a couple of months back, but nothing official ever came of it. Now it seems Mac developer Intego is having a go at [...]...

| The Free App Store Review for Saturday, July 19th, 2008 |
| 2008-07-19 18:40:59 |
We’re back. Did you miss us? Don’t answer that, it was rhetorical. I am continually surprised at how much software is flowing for Firmware 2.0 — free and otherwise — despite the fact that it’s only been a week since it went live. On the other hand, with devs beaming about how [...]...

| 2008-07-17 19:53:20 |
If nothing else, the iPhone is proving itself to be quite a capable and well-rounded device in numerous fields, and music is no exception. Nobody appreciates this more than Henny from Tha Bizness, who rocked a new joint on camera using BeatMaker Sequencer for the benefit of all. This app is a pretty [...]...

| iPhone 2.0 Supports Playback of WAV Voicemail |
| 2008-07-17 10:20:25 |
The iPhone was previous not able to play .wav voicemail files fom home phone services such as Vonage and AT&T. Since the iPhone 3G has been released, along-side the iPhone 2.0 OS, .wav voicemail files are now playable on the iPhone and iPhone 3G’s.
There was in fact someone by the name of TJ Luoma working [...]...

| World’s First Unlocked iPhone 3G |
| 2008-07-16 21:43:44 |
Well, that was quick. Seems an enterprising Brazilian calling himself DesbloqueioBr has crafted a solution to unlock the iPhone 3G. The catch? It’s hardware-based. But don’t worry, this isn’t some complicated surgical operation like Geohot’s first-gen unlock. Instead, this method uses a wafer-thin SIM adapter with its own electronics that you [...]...

| New Free Apps for Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 |

Given the frequency with which new apps are appearing daily in the App Store, I’m going to be doing this column on a pretty regular basis — every two or three days, as time and the number of new apps permits. On that note, I won’t waste any more time blathering on, because we’ve [...]...

| Press Release: WHERE Takes iPhone App Store by Storm |
| 2008-07-16 18:09:06 |
So, we don’t yet have any useful metrics to determine how well apps are doing in the App Store other than Apple’s general “Over 10,000,000 served” opening weekend figure, but one company is proud enough to crow about their roaring success:
Boston, MA - uLocate Communications, Inc. today announced its award-winning, location-based application, WHERE(TM), is among [...]...

| Dev Team Show Off World’s First Jailbroken iPhone 3G |
| 2008-07-15 17:50:23 |
We were all expecting it of course, but nobody has been sure when we’d see the first signs of it. Fortunately for us, the Dev Team have shown off a bona fide jailbreak on the iPhone 3G (and by extension, any device running firmware 2.0).
Don’t get too excited just yet though. It’s not [...]...

There’s no denying it. The App Store is huge. Yuuuuuuuge. The platform is already incredibly popular to develop for, there are big name developers alongside little ones, and there’s going to be a veritable cornucopia of cool stuff to check out — and some perhaps not so great. And it’s only been [...]...

| iPhone 3G Opening Weekend: 1M Phones, 10M Apps |
| 2008-07-14 19:33:46 |
To say that Apple’s opening day weekend was a success would be an understatement of biblical proportions. According to a press release from Apple, despite huge activation issues, Apple still managed to unload a cool million iPhone 3Gs over three days. That’s about triple the number of first-generation iPhones Apple sold more than [...]...

Now here’s an interesting twist on the RSS reader: One that can prefetch pages so you can read them offline. This finally brings the realm of RSS reading to a practical level to iPod Touch users. Sure, it ain’t live, but if you’re heading off on a trip, or even your daily transit [...]...

Veteran iPhone hacker and current Google employee George Hotz is back in the blogosphere, now that the 3G is in the hands of many, to address the question of an unlock for Apple’s shiny second-generation iPhone.
You’ll recall Friday’s report that the iPhone Dev Team are updating Pwnage to jailbreak and/or unlock iPhones running firmware 2.0. [...]...

| Rogers Offers Online Ordering |
| 2008-07-11 17:43:20 |
Today’s iPhone launch across Canada was pretty intense, mirroring much of the same sort of thing seen in the US, but not everyone could get to the store, and not everyone is within a reasonable distance from their local Rogers outlet. It’s fortunate then that Rogers has decided to offer up the coveted Jesus [...]...

In more than two dozen countries, in about 8 hours (give or take, depending on your time zone and store hours), the iPhone 3G will be unleashed on the masses. Everyone who has been clamouring for it will finally be able to get their grubby mitts on one. In Canada particularly this is [...]...

| Brian the Rant Puppet Takes On Ted Rogers |
| 2008-07-08 18:06:56 |
This afternoon there was a piece on Global TV about new higher text messaging rates coming down the pipe from Rogers (and by extension Fido), Bell and Telus. Evidently, the new rates will charge $0.15 per text message — receiving or sending, if you don’t already have a text messaging plan.
But that’s not what [...]...

No, we’re not dead, but once again, life is throwing a dozen different things in our paths that have us juggling them as best we can, and for the most part, those life obligations tend to take priority over the blog, sadly. We’re still alive and kicking though, even if we seem to be [...]...

| Kusari is Deviously Addictive |
| 2008-06-29 01:31:59 |
Taking a break from following the whole Rogers Wireless fiasco, I grabbed a new game off Installer. Its name is Kusari, it’s by Chris Nordberg, and I can’t seem to stop playing it.
The object of Kusari is quite simple. You are presented with a 5×7 board populated with round counters. Each counter has an arrow [...]...

If I seem like I’m focusing on the iPhone in Canada situation a lot, I apologize — but obviously, this is a topic that hits where it hurts for both me and Jody, and for millions of other Canadians from what I’m reading.
Virtually no one is happy with Rogers’ rates, and the displeasure ranges from [...]...
