Dennis — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 03:04:53 +0000

Woz is looking forward to using Leopard and likes the idea of third-party apps for the iPhone. Laptop Magazine has a long interview with Woz and he says, “I am really for the unlockers, the rebels trying to make it free. I’d really like it to be open to new applications. I’d like to install some nice games. Why in the world can I not install a ringtone that I’ve made?” We are with you Woz! Check out Laptop Magazine for the entire interview…

Ambrosia Software just now released the new version of iToner (v1.0.4) which is not compatible with Apple’s iPhone firmware v1.1.1. I upgraded my version and synced my iPhone. It works just like it did before. Great job guys! Check out the new version at:

iToner v1.0.3 Beta Coming Soon!

Dennis — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 02:28:25 +0000

With the release of the latest iPhone firmware (v1.1.1), iToner no longer functions and thus you cannot add your own ringtones to the iPhone. Ambrosia Software‘s president, Andrew Welch, posted a statement about where the latest iToner release stands. Its good to see that they are doing everything possible to get iToner working again for their customers. He stated that a Beta release of iToner (v1.0.3) will be coming out very soon.

iPhone Firmware v1.1.1 is out!

Dennis — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:38:33 +0000

I did the update to my iPhone. A few things. It did not brick my phone although I did not unlock it. But it did wipe out all the Installer.App programs. Time to reinstall that and see if I can get my apps back. My iToner still works because as soon as I connected, it downloaded an update.

The best part, my Oakley O’ROKR stereo sunglasses work now! They support A2DP!!!

Unlocked iPhones Could Have Irreparable Damage

A press release came out today that states unlocked iPhone could have irreparable damage. Since the firmware is modified, any update that Apple releases to incorporate new features, could make the unlocked iPhone a brick. This unlocking also voids the warranty. Apple plans on releasing a new update to the iPhone firmware some time later this week. This update should not cause any problems with the application hacks out there but will effect unlocking.

Apple iPhone Themes

I just added some new themes to my iPhone. Thanks to SummerBoard, now you can easily add themes using the AppTapp mod to your iPhone. SummerBoard is an extension to the iPhone’s SpringBoard. The one I am currently using is the Leopard theme which mimics the up coming release of OSX for the Mac.

Nullriver’s Install.App for iPhone

Dennis — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 14:11:12 +0000

I finally bit the bullet and installed this on my iPhone. What was I waiting so long for? Nullriver has made this installation so easy. This mod is great! With the installer on your iPhone, you can download and install applications directly from the iPhone without the use of your computer. There are games, utilities, productivity apps, wallpaper, ringtone packs, and more. My favorite are the Finder, Terminal, SSH, IRC, and Voice Recorder. Here is one screen capture taken by the iPhone itself and uploaded to Flickr. Screen Capture is another app available. You can download this mod at http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/

You’ll notice on the bottom right that there is a small sun or light. That is the coolest app installed. Its a dock that you press and up comes an animated dock of your installed apps. Pretty cool!
