Posted on 30 December 2007 by Ken Allen
Over at Gearlive, Andrew has just upped Episode 195 of Bleeding Edge confirming everything that has been said about the new iPhone firmware version 1.1.3. Earlier this was all thought to be a big scam to get Gearlive a bunch of traffic, but it actually appears to be legit.
Hit the cut for what actually is included in v1.1.3, and what ... continued »

iPhone v1.1.3 Destroys — Everything
Posted on 30 December 2007 by Ken Allen
Or so we think. I've been checking out this video on Gizmodo of the apparent v1.1.3 iPhone firmware update that Apple should be releasing soon. The video shows a guy moving around the iPhone's icons changing the order. Apparently the updated firmware version breaks all unlocks, and jailbreak apps, and cannot be cracked this time around because iTunes installs Apple's ... continued »

Apple Newton to return as over-sized iPhone?
Posted on 27 December 2007 by Chris Davies
Look beyond the badly PhotoShop'd image and the Apple Newton revival gains further momentum with Seeking Alpha's David Sieger piling together his evidence for an ultraportable device built around a 5.2-inch touchscreen. Supposedly based on an image of a larger-than-iPhone unit with a "distinguishing button or depression on each side" as seen by "trusted tipster", the device is intended to ... continued »

My iPhone Dislikes
Posted on 27 December 2007 by Ken Allen
All phones have their positives, and all phones have their negatives. The iPhone excels in many areas other phones don't, but other phones have some things the iPhone just couldn't stand up to. There are things I really dislike about the iPhone, and these dislikes are small compared to everything I do enjoy about owning an iPhone. I may have some issues ... continued »

PSX Emulator Goes Public
Posted on 26 December 2007 by Ken Allen
First we had NES, then we had GBA, now we have PS1 emulation on the iPhone and iPod touch. Opening up the iPhone to PS1 really shows the iPhone's gaming capabilities. While still needed to be optimized to run faster, I guess you could play a game. It's only about 10-15FPS right now, but as we saw from the other emulators, after ... continued »

Ultimate Ears add audiophile option to iPhone headset range
Posted on 21 December 2007 by Chris Davies
Aftermarket earphones for the iPhone often call for a decision between either high-quality music or having a microphone for hands-free use; of course, there are choices which have the functionality of both, but they're usually expensive. Ultimate Ears, who already have a strong reputation for audiophile-pleasing headphones, have announced their latest addition to the Super.fi range: the 4vi designed especially ... continued »

Sony best Apple with five-finger MultiTouch display
Posted on 21 December 2007 by Chris Davies
Sony has taken Apple's two-fingered MultiTouch and raised them to five, meaning that we could soon see devices from the Japanese giant that recognise all the digits of a user's hand. Unlike the Apple system, as featured on the iPhone and the iPod Touch, which can track either one finger for selection or dragging, or two fingers for zooming control, ... continued »

iPhone Cannot Display Negative Temperatures
Posted on 20 December 2007 by Ken Allen
If you happen to live in a very cold area within the United States, don't bother using the weather application on your iPhone. The weather application does not display negative Fahrenheit temperatures and just replaces them with 0F. If you're using Celsius, the application for some reason displays negative temperatures. This was pointed out by a person in Alaska who ... continued »

Unlocking Attempt Fails
Posted on 20 December 2007 by Ken Allen
Over at the Hackint0sh forums, a couple of people decided to unlock their iPhone, little did they know, opening their phone after completing the software, was not such a great idea. At least they now have a door stop, brick, frisbee, and tons of other useful tasks.
We were so happy, all the software part was done, so we started opening ... continued »

Apple seeking MultiTouch engineer for Mac line
Posted on 19 December 2007 by Chris Davies
Bearing in mind how tricky it can be to speculate hardware direction from both job adverts and patents, all signs continue to point toward a MultiTouch Apple tablet; most recently, Apple have advertised a new position with the Mac and iPod hardware groups for MultiTouch panel development, working on testing the hardware's reliability and comparing products from different suppliers.
