Their ShowTime app captures footage at six frames per second, 320 x 627 resolution, storing them in the iPhone's ... continued »

iPod Touch VoIP developers turn attention to iPhone
Over at Apple-Touch.com, our iPod Touch obsessed sister-site, we've been gleefully watching the work of some VoIP-loving hackers as they not only developed a SIP-compatible app for the PMP but a plug-in microphone attachment to go with it. Now they're turning their attentions to the iPhone, which has long been pretty much at the mercy of whichever carrier has exclusivity in your country. To try to accelerate the porting process ... continued »

Partfoundry has developed a working prototype dongle for the jailbroken iPhone that provides real time GPS locationing with an accuracy of 16ft-32ft using the SiRF Star III chip. It's sleek look definitely goes well with the iPhone. Though the dongle makes the iPhone a bit bigger, ... continued »
