Before it dies. It’s almost as if Apple’s vaunted road map includes [...]

September 20, 2008
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this. Poorlad and the Dev Team have finally released the Windows version of QuickPwn for firmware 2.1.

iPhone Firmware 2.1 & iTunes 8: Two Days Later
September 14, 2008
So I’ve had a chance to give firmware 2.1’s tires a good kicking to see how it stacked up overall compared to previous versions. Overall, I’m quite happy — but not completely. While there were enough improvements to leave me relatively satisfied, there’s still one outstanding problem, and unfortunately it’s a pretty big [...]

The Free App Store Review XI: The Wisdom of Light Sabers
August 10, 2008
Well shave my yak if it isn’t time for another freebie roundup. It seems the last few days have been a wee bit slow in that department, with only a baker’s dozen new titles to plow through, which means I might actually finish this roundup in a respectable amount of time. Oddly, there’s [...]

August 8, 2008
You may have been following some rumours the last day or so about a supposed “back door” or “kill switch” through which Apple could disable apps via a list of blacklisted applications. It all started when inveterate hacker Johnathan Zdziarski, in his forensic combing through the iPhone 2.x firmware, discovered a file containing a [...]

Firmware 2.0.1 Out and About (Updated)
August 4, 2008
Looks like Apple has released the minor revision 2.0.1 firmware update to iTunes for iPhone and iPod Touch. (Not to be confused with version 2.1, which is still running round the developer beta circuit.)

Forget trying to get your bassett hound to howl along in tune as you feebly attempt to recreate Stairway to Heaven in Band. YouTube member ainsworthc is trying to teach his pigeon to play Tap Tap Revenge on his iPhone. I gather his efforts are still in the preliminary phase as, let’s face [...]
