So what do you do after you unlock the iPhone, try to sell the finished product on eBay, pull it because of spoof bids and then swap it for a Nissan 350Z and three more iPhones? Well, if you're 17-year-old superhacker George Hotz you go to college, get your schedule and then try to fit in working out a GPS-style location service for the cellphone.

The same guys who showed you how to put together a two-buck MultiTouch interface have also come up with software that takes the fun back to the iPhone: they've figured out how to access the handset's accelerometers, opening up all manner of twisty game and general iPhone wankery possibilities. Turns out that while it's possible to access the 3-axis data from within Safari, the sample rate there is generally too ... continued »

Installer.app catalogue to swell with free packaging offer
I should imagine that, as a third-party app programmer, the one thing worse than having your genitals hacked off by ninja badgers would be nobody using your software. And unfortunately marketing and publicity requires very different brain muscles from those necessary for coding, so it's not enough to assume that where one aptitude goes the other follows.

Remember that crazy website claiming that they could fully unlock the iPhone, but they just needed another 48 hours to do it? Apparently they've stepped up to the plate and shown just what they can do.
They contacted the guys over at Engadget promising that they could in fact completely unlock the phone. After just a few minutes of installing the software, they had indeed made good on their claim. The ... continued »

Modded OEM iPhone handsfree
If your ears are anything like mine (and my doctor assures me I'm not a total freak, so there must be others out there with the same issue) then standard headphones - as dangling on the ends of Apple's handsfree kit - just don't fit very well. They either fall out every few seconds or I'm forced to screw them in so tightly it becomes painful... so that they only ... continued »
