A hand-picked selection of the latest releases for iPhone? Plus, a handy summary of Apple news from the past seven days? We’ve got it all, you lucky person, you.Despite the deluge of announcements at last week’s WWDC, we’ve had no time to rest this week, either. Indeed, the news hasn’t stopped rolling in, so before [...] Related Posts GigaOM: iPhone 3.0 Revs Up Apple Payments Systems GigaOM: Will Sprint Thwart Sling Media’s 3G Palm Pre App Plans?

Since Apple hasn't given us a comprehensive list of all the little changes in iPhone 3.0 , users have taken it upon themselves to compile the treats they've found in the new software, some of which are actually quite nice. The MacRumors forums have a couple of ongoing, constantly updated lists, though of course we can't verify their massive efforts. Here's part one and everything since part one of their informal list, and a slightly more structured list can be found here . If you want…
iPhone OS 3.0 official debut
The final build of iPhone OS 3.0 made it’s official debut on June 17th at 10 AM PT. Even before the debut, there was an issue with re-downloading apps for free from the device itself, but thankfully Apple said it was just a “bug.” That wasn’t the only bug to [...]

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 [...]
When we first created Backstage, we did so for two reasons: to let readers preview articles that might or might not appear on the main iLounge web site, and to discuss topics such as video games, Mac computers, and the like that weren’t necessarily of interest to the broader iLounge readership. Over time, Backstage has shifted more to the off-topic stuff than the advance article previews. We’ve received e-mails and comments requesting…
Though there are three degrees of Apple product refreshes—revolutionary, evolutionary, and trivial—the lines are blurred by a critical factor: a given user’s point of reference. Those who purchased a first-generation Mac, iPod, or iPhone might have found its immediate successor to be only a minor step up, but by holding off two years on an upgrade, they’d likely find at least a few tantalizing new features in a third-generation…
Filed under: Software , iPhone , App Review Once upon a time, multipoint navigation on the iPhone required some heavy lifting, and a bit of savvy was required to get you from Point A to Point B to Point C. Using the built-in map application, you could enter a future location as a bookmark, as a contact, or you could use the "Recents" button. MapQuest 4 Mobile [ iTunes link ] provides the same multi-point trip functionality, and builds upon it with single tap location-based services as well as…
There's been talk the last couple days about the fact that there really isn't anywhere in the States to take advantage of the blazing 7.2Mbps downlink connection supported by the iPhone 3G S -- except for one great hope, one diamond in the rough that could become a shining destination for 3G S owners the world over. That destination would be Chicago, where AT&T fired up 7.2Mbps trials late last year , and the hope was that they might be letting lay folk (like us) in on the action in time for the…
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…
A special treat for you all this Father’s Day weekend;

We all should be enjoying the impressive power of Push Notifications right now on a plethora of super cool apps which have been enabled with these new alerts. Unfortunately, there is no killer app for these yet. Instead, we have a hodgepodge of little more than a dozen apps like Star Defense, AP Mobile, Tap Tap Revenge and Textfree Unlimited, among others. While all are quality apps, none of them has wowed us.
Without a doubt, Sonos makes an excellent wireless distributed audio system. If we had to nit pick (and we do), then its massive controller, the CR100 is easily the first thing to complain about. For starters it's a $400 remote control that does one thing, it controls your Sonos audio system. Granted, the CR100 is rugged, splashproof, and turns on in an instant thanks to a built-in accelerometer; features that can't justify the price, however, in light of the solid Sonos did its user base when it…
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.
Here's the stuff that we didn't post today. (Until now, obviously.) • Somebody finally took a stand against the crap Michael Bay Transformers, and built himself a life-size Bumblebee using a very real Volkswagen Beetle. It's mighty without being, bizarrely disjointed, and has the old noble Tranny face, instead of the weird insectoid new ones. Only problem is, this thing doesn't move, not even as much as Japan's larger-than-life Gundam , so it's technically not a…
The highly anticipated iPhone 3.0 firmware has made many drastic and notable changes, and the Stocks app is no exception. Several features have been added that are definitely worth mentioning.
The first change that is easily noticeable is there is now more detailed information for each stock. Slide over the detailed info. to find up to date news about [...]

Filed under: Cult of Mac , Apple , iPhone We don't want to imply that the iPhone 3G S launch was a dud. There's reports out that the 3G S may have sold more units than the 3G on opening day, but even more reports are coming in that the lines and general mayhem at Apple and AT&T stores were much more subdued this year than in previous years . There's a lot of speculation as to why, but we at TUAW figured we'd go straight to the source and ask our dear readers. Why weren't you in line…
Filed under: iPhone , MobileMe I just got back from the Apple Store and am now the proud owner of an iPhone 3G S 32 GB in basic black. I can't wait to get at it, but before dive in, I want to write a bit about the experience. Driving to the Apple store at the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington, NY, I drove past an AT&T store which had no line and very few cars in the parking lot. When I got to the Apple store, it was a different story. There was a bit of a line or actually two lines, but nothing…
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,…
(Credit: Apple, Inc.) Apple released a new support document detailing the basics of Apple's Push Notification Service in iPhone OS 3.0. You can read more about this service in our previous post here . According to the support document: If you don't have an option for Notifications in the Settings menu, then you don't have an app installed that supports notifications. An app needs to be used at least once before it will receive any notifications. The iPod Touch can receive notifications any…
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.

14-yo Sophie Frost was trying to find shelter from a thunder storm when she dropped unconscious and fried like a bag of chips. The culprit: A lightning bolt. Thankfully, this one didn't die thanks to her iPod. It's not the first time that this happens . Apparently iPods have a tendency to save people from lightning strikes. Like other times before, instead of killing her the bolt killed the audio player, which acted as an electricity conductor taking most of the damage for her. The British teenager…
Several users in the US are reporting problems activating their new iPhone 3G Ss for use. A message displayed for many users during the activation process suggests that it could be as much as 48 hours before the activations go through. Some users have had some luck calling AT&T and having a representative help them get it activated, while others weren't so lucky.
