            • Looks like somebody over at the Apple legal department has been enjoying a little Jailbreak action, because a sketch in a recent patent application includes some features a stock iPhone just doesn't have. Update: Let's see here, we've got a custom wallpaper, that's not allowed. We've got the Installer and SMBPrefs apps, you're not going to find either of those in the Officially Apple-Controlled Apple-Permitted App Store By Apple. Update: So after reading, it turns out that this image…
              • Uh oh Apple -- it looks like even your attorneys are dirty, thieving jailbreakers . Tipster a|e§ was poring through that iPhone biometric security patent application we posted earlier and noticed that the images show a jailbroken phone, complete with Installer.app, SMBPrefs, and the iWood Realize theme from the iSpazio repository. We're guessing the fine folks at Kramer, Levin Naftalis & Frankel are going to have some 'splainin to do on Monday morning -- but at least they get to run apps in the…
                • Apple will probably introduce its next iPhone (as well as the final version of its iPhone 3.0 software) on June 8 --the first day of Apple's 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference, The Business Insider reports. More important: Will Apple CEO Steve Jobs present -- or at least make an appearance -- at WWDC? His medical leave is [...]
                  • Wolfenstein 3D -- a recreation of the classic first person shooter -- is now available for the iPhone, and its source code is also available to iPhone developers.
                    • Now that there's a date for the Worldwide Developers Conference in place, rumors are swirling about what Apple has planned for the June gathering.
                      • Filed under: iPhone , App Store , iPod touch We've reviewed some iPhone alarms before. There are free alarms and alarms you pay for . Some were pretty good, and there is always the built-in alarm. In an attempt to improve upon the standard alarms, some Russian developers have created Easy Wakeup [App Store link] which has been available for jailbroken phones, but now is available at U.S. $9.99 for both the iPhone and iPod touch. Why would anyone buy an alarm app for 10 bucks? Well, this is a very…
                        • Filed under: Internet , Apple , iPhone , iPod touch Ars is reporting the 3.0 speed improvements to Mobile Safari's JavaScript engine range from 3x to 16x -- a blessed boon to web developers everywhere. No one seems to know if Mobile Safari will be sporting Nitro or SquirrelFish or what, but whatever it is, it'll be faster. If you check out the benchmarks originally posted on Wayne Pan's blog , iPhone OS 3.0 blazes past 2.2 in every category except divisions (the benchmarking tools are available…
                          • This is the patent application filed by Apple. Interesting thing is that you can see Installer and SMBPrefs icon. These 2 stuff are come from jailbreaking. Apple said jailbreaking iPhone is illegal, then why they use a picture like that? The reason may be simple: Apple wants to patent all kinds of uses of iPhone.

                            • Thanks to an influx of titles that have been sent our way in recent days, this week’s Weird + Small Apps is dedicated solely to a collection of small and/or weird little games. Some are cool, including our picks of the week, Hoopster and Flight Control. Others, found at the end of the roundup, are just plain stupid. Read on for all the details. Mini-Sports Games: Field Goal Frenzy, Hoopster, and ReppyPro Whereas some developers have viewed…
                              • There has been a reasonable amount of speculation surrounding JavaScript speed improvements in iPhone 3.0. Testing carried out on the iPhone Simulator bundled with the SDK didn’t lead to a conclusive outcome, but benchmarking done by Wayne Pan would seem to suggest that iPhone 3.0 handles JavaScript 3x-10x faster than iPhone 2.1.Last year the WebKit [...] Related Posts GigaOM: Smartphone Sales to Keep Growing GigaOM: Browser Wars: Opera Says It’s Not Down or Out WebWorkerDaily: Opera Responds to…
                              • Filed under: Hardware , Retail , iPhone Last week came the sneak peek at internal AT&T memos meant to coach employees on the sale of unsubsidized iPhones. Today, there's news that Apple has begun selling no-contract iPhones at their retail stores. You can grab an 8GB iPhone 3G for $599 or a 16GB model for $699, take it home and do what you will. Unlike restrictions set up by AT&T, Apple Store customers may purchase as many unsubsidized phones as they please. With WWDC and the release of iPhone…

                                    • Filed under: Software , iPhone , App Store , iPod touch , First Look Last October, we posted about another iPhone app -- Weightbot -- written by Mark Jardine and Paul Haddad at Tapbots . Now the company has shipped their second app, an iPhone conversion calculator called Convertbot (iTunes link). Like Weightbot, Convertbot is a classy-looking and extremely functional iPhone app. Every detail of the user interface shows obvious thought, resulting in an app that is easy to use and look at. As with Weightbot,…
                                      • Filed under: Software , Internet Tools MarsEdit has long been one of my Mac apps and save my writings for TUAW and Download Squad, it's what I use for almost all of my online publishing. For almost two years, I've been embroiled in a love/hate relationship with Tumblr . I love the idea of the service, but until recently, the simplicity it offers has come at the expense of features I really, really need. This week, I've come one-step closer to making Tumblr a bigger part of my digital life,…
                                        • Filed under: iPhone , MobileMe , App Store , iPod touch This is my week to take a second look at some iPhone apps that were less than thrilling on their first appearance, but have been updated with fixes and enhancements. Earlier, I took a look at VoiceMail , and today I'm taking a fresh look at IbisMail , [App Store link] an email client for the iPhone and iPod touch that offers some features Apple does not. The app is U.S. $0.99. Although the specs indicate that almost all mail protocols are…
                                          • Filed under: Software , WWDC , Apple , Developer Spring is in the air, although we're in the midst of a blizzard here in the Denver area. That means one thing -- the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference ( WWDC ) is coming soon! Eric over at coreiphone.com sent us a tip this morning that shows that the WWDC is scheduled for June 8 - 12 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, and that the WWDC website is up and running . Purchasing your registration by April 25, 2009 saves you a cool US$300 and you'll…

Just got an email encouraging me to buy tickets for Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) 2009.  I’m not quite sure why I got it (I guess because I once applied for the devs program) – but I am glad to see it because it [...]
                                              • Today Apple announced that this year's Worldwide Developers Conference will be held June 8-12. As with previous years, WWDC09 will take place in San Francisco at the Moscone West convention center. Three developer tracks, which Apple began doing last year, will be available—iPhone, Mac, and IT. Apple unveiled the iPhone 3G at last year's WWDC on the heels of Mac OS X Leopard. It's likely that Apple will again use this opportunity to announce the next generation iPhone which we expect sometime…
