Jailbroken iPhone in Apple Store

by James Allan Brady on November 1, 2007

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.

Try telling ... continued »

So, as if requiring a 3G version wasn’t ... continued »

iPhone causing other carriers to change attitude?

by James Allan Brady on October 30, 2007

AT&T’s site, YellowPages.com, has just been pimped for ease of use on your iPhone and iPod Touch, so should you need directory assistance, before paying those extremely bloated 411 charges, check YellowPages.com. I wonder if the other site, whitepages.com got the same treatment. You can easily search by name, location, or category for what you are looking for. Furthermore, your search results include ratings, maps, and directions as well as the ... continued »
