Sure, it is just something some Apple fan boy came up with, but I doubt him or the other members of the Factory Joe blog are too far off. Chances are real good that we actually can expect something of this nature soon. They even supposition the idea of up to a 64GB SSD, sure, that sounds great, but right now ... continued »

I thought they already lost this battle, was I wrong? Apparently as they are rumored to be planning a protest for the UK iPhone launch. I wonder how dumb they will feel protesting without a reference point for what they want. They can’t protest for the device to follow EU regulations, it already does, so basically they are protesting because ... continued »

iTunes gets bumped to version 7.5 and QuickTime gets up to version 7.3. Neither include anything major, the QuickTime update just makes it compatible with the new version of iTunes and has some bug fixes. iTunes adds the ability to activate the iPhone in more locations than just the US. There is also a new interactive music game that only works ... continued »

It’ll brick your hacked iPhone and maybe iPod Touch, no word on whether its replicating to the iPod Touch line yet though. What do you get for your as yet un-hackable firmware upgrade? You get more languages and their corresponding keyboard layouts if applicable. Other than that there is a TIFF exploit patch. continued »

So a while back I wrote a story about how most of the European companies that were getting the iPhone had some pretty strict data usage policies, O2 being one of them. Well, as of now, O2 is awaiting November 9th, the day when the iPhone will actually go on sale in the UK, and they have lifted the specified ... continued »

In a move seemingly to reduce the number of unlocked iPhones, AT&T has offered up some middle ground for those not wanting to get raped by international calling and data charges. There are two new plans, the top one tacks on $60 to your current bill and nets you 50MB of data per month, but that’s just the start of ... continued »

And that’s on launch day alone! Speaking of over zealousness, in case you forgot, or don’t know, Carphone Warehouse is the retailer that is getting the iPhone to sell on O2’s behalf in the UK. Furthermore, if you live in, on, or around one of those stores, on November 9th, you might want to not be there for the hours from ... continued »

I think its pretty well suited too, I cant think of a single thing that was announced and sold this year that did near as well as the iPhone did. The article starts by stating most of the arguments you might pose against the iPhone winning such an award, all the downsides, of the iPhone basically. Then they get to the ... continued »

Now its all just speculation right now, but its sounding more and more like the iPhone could cause other smartphones’ prices to go up. How? The more they try and be like the iPhone to more expensive the components become, namely the flash memory and multi-touch screen technology. Flash memory is probably the most expensive part that other companies are looking ... continued »

I knew as soon as I saw the first jailbreakme.com story that someone was going to go to an Apple store and Jailbreak the display model. Sure enough it happened, and now here is a picture. Sure, it could be fake, but I would venture to guess that since it would take longer to photoshop it than to navigate to jailbreakme.com ... continued »

In 3 days nearly 150k people navigated to jailbreakme.com and clicked the “Install AppSnapp” button. That means 144,000+ people have jailbroken their iPhones and iPod Touches. In case you missed it, jailbreakme.com is the home of AppSnapp which is an installer that can be launched from that web site, on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Then it proceeds to activate, jailbreak, ... continued »

Thanks to Telstra Apple could be launching their iPhone in the land down under. Although maybe not unless Apple launches a 3G version. You see, Telstra is rolling out a huge 3G network which is scheduled to be completed by January, so they are eager to find a major release device to launch on it, a 3G iPhone would surely fit ... continued »
