iPhone Dev News of The Week

  • Early this morning the Dev Team released redsn0w. Unlike previous iterations of redsn0w, it only could jailbreak iPod Touch 2G. The Dev Team has combined the functionality of QuickPwn into redsn0w and it works on the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G, and iPod Touch 2G. It does not jailbreak iPhone 3GS, nor does [...]
    • Any iphone developers out there with recording/sound experience? I'm looking to develop a simple app that will trigger actions based on sounds...
      • It seems the Dev-Team has updated their website to include a Windows jailbreak and 2nd gen iPhone Touch jailbrealk. Both of these use a jailbreak called redsn0w (simular to QuickPwn). Go HERE for the downloads. However, they have also updated some of their info…their 8 points have changed slightly so make sure you read [...]
        • That iPhone OS 3.0 jailbreak we saw the iPhone Dev-Team pull off earlier this week ? It's out now, or at least, part of it is. Pwnage Tool is now flooding torrents, but there's lots of caveats here. Most importantly, this isn't Ultrasn0w , which means if you're wanting to use your toy on T-Mobile or another unofficial carrier, be patient -- it's also worth noting that the jailbreak doesn't jibe with yellowsn0w, so those who rely on it should stay away for the time being. No…
        • Hello; After upgrading/updating to the SDK 3.0, my application is crashing after the first view is loaded. Strange. After some much needed sleep,...
          • Sly-Q is yet another one of those simple, yet entertaining puzzle games that frequently show up in the app store. Despite this fact, the developers did a pretty decent job making this particular app especially sleek and one-of-a-kind. The idea is to slide around the tiles that lie within a main shape to achieve a certain pattern in as little time and moves as possible. The tiles move in groups, horizontally and vertically, and your job is to make the overall shape look like the "goal" image.
            • Dag Spicer from the Computer History Museum leaned over and unscrewed a bolt. Underneath, it read, "I am Going Mad". The operator's job was to look for cold war bombers that never came. I would go mad, too. Look: The IBM SAGE spoke to me. It was old, but unlike other machines from the era, with crude punch interfaces, it had a GUI, a light gun, and hell, an ashtray. And a big yellow screen. The ashtray was so operators didn't have to leave their posts for cigarette breaks. Spotting…
              • Today people were shocked to discover that the first turn-by-turn navi iPhone app to hit the iTunes App Store cost $9.99—per month. Well, get used to it, because there are a lot more subscription apps coming. Think about it: Carriers like Sprint, Verizon and AT&T regularly charge between $8 and $10 per month for GPS apps. Gokivo is just a made-for-iPhone version of Verizon's not-so-great VZ Navigator. Why did you expect an updated and hopefully improved version of that would cost less ? TomTom,…
                • The iPhone Dev Team has posted an iPhone OS 3.0-capable version of the PwnageTool for unlocking iPhone, iPhone 3G, and first-generation iPod touch running the OS 3.0 released Wednesday. It should be noted that it will not work for the iPhone 3G S posted a guide detailing how you should use their jailbreaking and unlocking tools based on your situation is.
                  • Filed under: Video , Developer , iPhone , App Store We had a quick chat with Dr. Wm. Cameron Powell of Airstrip Technologies at the 5th Avenue Apple Store this morning, talking about his company's data visualization and monitoring tools for hospital use. Airstrip's FDA-approved application for OB monitoring is already on the App Store in demo form, and is being rolled out in sites around the country; the company was f eatured in the WWDC developer showcase video , which has really ramped up the…
                    • Filed under: iPhone , Jailbreak/pwnage As the night follows the day, surely an updated Pwnage tool must follow the release of a new iPhone operating system. True to form, the dedicated hackers of the iPhone Dev Team have posted a blog entry detailing the steps needed to jailbreak (and, in some cases, unlock) iPhones running the new software. There are quite a few caveats and qualifications with this stage of the tool release; in particular, it won't work with 2nd-gen iPod touch devices, nor with the…
                    • The new iPhone firmware 3.0 jailbreak tool is here. Unofficial application Cycorder is the tool that lets you record videos in firmware 2.2.1. Now it is updated to 0.9-6 and works under firmware 3.0. That means without spending lots of money for 3GS, you can also record videos in iPhone 2G/3G with the latest firmware. [...]
                      • The dependable iPhone Dev team have released updated version of their PwnageTool to jailbreak iPhone OS 3.0. However, they are reporting that due some bugs and unexpected changes, they plan to release their tools in phases and have started off by releasing PwnageTool for Mac OS X to jailbreak iPhone...
                      • So, you want to be a webOS developer, huh? That's great kid, we're excited for you, but there's a catch: Palm won't be handing out an actual SDK to most people until the end of Summer. In a post just published on the Palm Developer Network Blog , reps from the company say that although they've been cranking away on getting their full SDK in shipshape (the version given out to current devs is apparently pretty rough), they won't have anything for a broader audience anytime soon. In…
                      • Apps that take advantage of the new developer tools in the iPhone 3.0 OS are beginning to appear in the App Store. Here are a few that caught our eye.
                        • Palm just posted an update on their developer blog telling developers—all of whom are anxious to make apps for the Pre and start making money—that the SDK won't be out until late summer. On the one hand, it's good news that they're going to get an SDK available in three or four months from launch. The iPhone took an entire year to get an SDK available. The bad news is you have to wait three or four months to get Palm Pre apps that aren't from people with closer relationships to Palm. …
                        • We knew this was coming, but it's good to know that hackers can still get into the iPhone OS so easily: PwnageTool for Mac OS X is now available for iPhone OS 3.0. Here are the details. [Updated] • If you already have your iPhone jailbroken and unlocked, don't try to update your smartypanties phone to iPhone OS 3.0. PwnageTool won't unlock your iPhone. You have to wait until Ultrasnow is available for this. • If you don't need the unlock but want to upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0, go ahead.…
                        • The Dev Team has released the jailbreak for 3.0 firmware for the iPhone 3G, 1st Gen iPhone and 1st Gen iPod Touch. That means the iPhone 3G S and the 2nd Gen iPod Touch on firmware 3.0 is not jailbreakable at this time. You can download PwnageTool for Mac only at this time. QuickPwn for [...]
                          • Not long ago the Dev Team posted their latest installment of PwnageTool with compatibility for iPhone OS 3.0. There are a few niches though.
                            Ultrasn0w (the new iPhone 3G unlock) is not out yet. Do not upgrade if you rely on the unlock for service.
                            iPhone 3G users that don’t need an unlock can upgrade and jailbreak [...]
                            • In case you can no longer express yourself in words, instead demanding cute Japanese emoticons to encapsulate inner longing and turmoil, you can sleep well knowing that the iPhone's Emoji set has been ported to iChat. It's a free download from Einar Andersson & Tor Rauden Källstigen that includes an installer and everything. In other words, you can pretty much double click your way to emoji bliss. And once you're done, maybe you could ping Jason Chen and remind him that I don't need to…

                                • Push notification: A major "get" for free-SMS apps. SMS charges can quickly bankrupt a text-happy teen, which is why free-SMS apps are so popular. These programs effectively recreate the texting experience, but with one major shortcoming: they can't notify you of new messages unless they're running. iPhone OS 3.0 changes all that, and mega-popular TextFree is one of the first free-SMS apps to support the operating system's new push-notification capabilities. Specifically, TextFree…
                                  • The title says it all, iPhone 3GS is on sale today at Apple stores and AT&T stores. When a jailbreak and possible unlock is released we’ll let you know right here.
