The moment you've all been waiting for has finally arrived. iFuntastic version 3 is here, and chock full of new features. Of course, the biggest feature request of all has been fulfilled - support for PowerPC processor. It also includes a real file browser which allows installing apps, uploading NES ROMs, and other miscellaneous files. But that's just the beginning.
One of the most important new features in v3 is "Unshackling". No longer will you have to un-jail and re-jail your iPhone for every modifiaction. Once you unshackle, you're free to make any modifications you please while simultaneously maintaining iTunes'ability to access the phone. Very sweet. The Home Screen section has been significantly updated. Just as you could in previous versions, iFuntastic allows you to rearrange the icons on your home screen, but it gets even cooler. You can now have multiple home screens with a different set of icons on each. Take that, Spaces. On top of that, you know have the ability to put backgrounds on each home screen as well as rotate them. Can you say "useful"?
Ringtones has also been updated. Remember that handy tip on getting free ringtones from iTunes? Now you can use iFuntastic to rip iTunes previews for you. Simply create a playlist of songs from the iTunes Music Store and drag the exported version into iFuntastic. The songs are downloaded from the store and uploaded right into your iPhone.
The new File Manager is awfully cool. It can be used to install new applications, save and delete files, and everything in between. iFuntastic also allows you to fiddle with system images and change the carrier logo, as you could in the past.

Eldar Murtazin : "In the corporate or business segment iPhone has no chance"
Eldar Murtazin continues to reflect iPhone. Now, the microscope lens, the main function of the phone calls. Among aspects of hardware and software features iPhone. Alongside all compared with Nokia N95.
If the SMS message, we determined that the iPhone is virtually nothing in stock, it is inherently telephone functions not bad, office calls, and this is a good thing. Ergonomics phone, dial, and all that relates to the call, the restructuring of the last century. User iPhone spends operations standard rooms on average twice as much time. At least 15 calls a day for the year nabezhit from 6 to 9 hours of pure time. Trifles, but it resulted in these times, which is no longer called flimsy.
Quality sound mean, there is no algorithm to improve the quality of speech. No voice nobody looks set to model this level, as well as with the technical solution, as a touch screen. Vypusti the same Nokia to market its device to a lack of voice dial and confused with the mud at the same time.
------#------#------#------#------#------#------#------#------#------#
Call for Nokia N95.
Reservation that the description fit almost all phones on the market, regardless of their form-factor, the number of clicks remain the same. Opening slider means automatic unblock keys. One touch (1 hour). Then, you can call, dial the number. That is one thing that is required. At monoblocs enough, as a rule, press two keys, or one long detention to unlock key. Winning the ergonomics of the person. To call most of the functions present on the phone, requiring two hits. Release and subsequent retention of the number keys along the rapid recruitment. Press "1" is responsible for voicemail. Access to the phone book in two clicked from the blocked phone.
Let us give tabulated the data.
| Function | Nokia N95 | Apple iPhone |
| Unlock | 1 Movement (1 second) | 1 movement and press button, 2 movement (4 second) |
| Access to digital keyboard | 1 movement (1 second) | From 3 to 4 Movement (5 seconds) |
| Access to the phone book | 1 movement, 1 press (2 second) | From 3 to 4 (5 seconds) |
| Speed dial | 1 movement, 1 press (2 second) | From 4 to 5 (5 seconds) |
| Lists Challenges | 1 movement, 1 press (2 second) | From 3 to 4 (5 seconds) |
| Voice mail | 1 movement, 1 press (2 second) | From 3 to 4 (5 seconds) |
Ergonomics interface leaves much to be desired, as you can see. That is, in any phone costing between $ 30 and higher, you spend a call standard telephone functions less time than the iPhone. The difference at first glance, not much, no-one two seconds. But those seconds add up during the day in a minute of your time, which is spent because of the fact that someone does not understand how to create solutions in the field of ergonomic interfaces.
Hackers afraid, or on whose side the law?
After saying they were phoning on behalf of AT&T, the law firm presented issues such as copyright infringement and illegal software dissemination. Uniquephones is taking legal advice to ascertain whether AT&T was sending a warning shot or directly threatening legal action.
Why AT & T so concerned? People perepragramirovali SIM-card's nobody screaming, and then suddenly decided to punish. Rather, the hackers did not get something, and they have decided to "call" to help lawyers AT & T-it's easier to get off the scene. But on the other hand, last year the Register copyright (Register of Copyrights) has recommended amendments to the Act on the protection of copyright in the digital millennium "(DMCA 1998), which unlock phones is legal. Phone owners were allowed to bring machine to full functionality, ability to connect to any operator, said in explaining the government.

Apple should hasten the withdrawal of the product in Europe, as every day, it loses tens of potential clients.

Eldar Murtazin: "SMS on iPhone is a spacecraft to pedal power"
Eldar Murtazin is Russian analyst market mobile devices. So it is the site owner http://www.mobile-review.com/ From the outset sales iPhone he habit of it requisitioned without sufficient reason. Below is a translation of an article in which he describes his experience with SMS to the iPhone.
P.S. Recently, the site has been DDOS attack, possibly revenge crush Apple iPhone.
What struck me deeply, it is no icon in the status bar messages. Of some applications, you may not know that you had SMS, only from the main menu. For example, passing well signal communication, you continue to listen to music or see something online. If you believe that the status line will show you the envelope icon, and you will see that there is a message, then no, you wrong. In Apple believes that excessive user awareness of such developments may distract him from the really important functions of the phone. Banal feature, but its absence podkashivaet times. Meanwhile pleasant to see SMS icon in the main menu figure with the number of reports received.
This is a small part of the speech Eldar SMS messages in the iPhone. The whole article is at www.mobile-review.com/articles/2007/iphone-sms.shtml only the Russian language and pictures.

Technology: Apple secrets or sell anything.
Viewing news blogs about high-tech news, I asked myself. Why iPhone is so popular with young people as well as people older? As Apple has been so interested in public their product, with the fact that this is the first phone released Apple? Can Apple has been marketing miracle, or "leverage" which clicked and people fell interest in the latest Nokia, Samsung and Motorola.
If you recall madness that happened near the store the day of the Apple iPhone sales it is both funny and scary. It is becoming clear that the cost of money and knowledge can be managed by various groups of people who would not even suspect it. Actions Apple to move their goods simply admire. Employees Apple deservedly paid. :) I think that getting to work in Apple and particularly to a division of publicity should have considerable expertise in this area.
In conclusion, this small article we would like to ask your readers for your blog, as you consider what methods used Apple to promote their goods and services?
Technology: Dead pixel on the iPhone.
Several users have asked the Apple service center in connection with the introduction of the phone dead pixel displays. Such a pixel can have various errors in the display of red, green and blue, and can be lightened or þe. The critical points are in different locations across the matrix in the number of one to two pieces. All Apple applied temporarily issued new iPhone, and the old took to the audit.
The allowable number of dead pixels is not specified in the specification, and few people know how many pixels should die, that the manufacturer has agreed to replace the machine.
While the Apple thinks of the official commentary, you can take .iPhone Dead Pixel Test at the special site.

JiveTalk
Best of online client to IM iPhone, JiveTalk (BeeJive, http://iphone.beejive.com/, free) will work with accounts AIM, MSN, Yahoo! Google Talk, ICQ and Jabber at the same time, issuing a combined list and dialog interface. Mundu IM too good, so the choice between the two clients is a matter of taste. I like it more than the alternative -- FlickIM, iPhoneChatClient (which are only compatible with AIM) and Meebo (they simply inconvenient to use).
Glide Mobile
4 or 8-Mbyte it a lot? Glide (TransMedia, http://xmobile.glidesociety.com/, free) will have 2 GB file storage space in the structure, which developers called "cloud" that is available not only to the iPhone, but also from any PC , Mac or mobile device (generally, Glide is a type of service "virtual desktop", said. Per.) . You can download music (even in the WMA format!) And video on iPhone, and enjoy many other functions Glide. For example, Glide not only store images, but also edit them; Now you can not only view PDF documents, but also to create new texts; You can synchronize PIM information from your PC to "cloud"; And yet the entire pile. This media stream. This tool combines a cool pieces should be iPhone.
Glide is not the only such program. With iPhone also works Orb, it can listen to music and watch pictures, but video and viewing documents from different formats Orb problems, so Glide wins here. iZoho promises office applications in the iPhone, but it is something you believe; it gOffice-simple pieces without any additional features, which are implemented in Glide.
iPhoneDrive
OK, let 4 or 8 GB is more than enough. Our only agenda "for Mac" allows iPhone as USB flash drive-popular iPod possibility that Apple is somehow "forgot" to implement. So iPhoneDrive (Ecamm network, http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iphonedrive/, 9.95 dollars) to overwrite files (iPhone is not defined as a PC disk drive), but it's better than nothing, and a good way to use remnants of free space in memory iPhone.
IPhone Videora Converter
How to convert video for the iPhone many. Some complex, but are lots of possibilities (MediaCoder), others paid (Roxio Crunch), and some violate our laws, allowing copy-protected DVD (author lives in the United States, said. Per.) . Videora Converter iPhone (Red Kawa Inc. , Http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPhone/, free) is very easy to use, legalen and works with any video, which you can not see on the PC. Find video-your case, and downloading of iPhone easily handles the utility. Enjoy.
Diamenty
Good games for the iPhone little; At Web 2.0 programmers little experience in the field of mobile devices. But huh, we got Bejeweled ... That is, the widget Diamenty (Arkadiusz Mlynarczyk, http://diamenty.myiphone.pl/, free). The objective of the game is to build the line in three or more identical crystals, and then match neighbouring elements disappear from the screen. The game is considered complete when the playing field is no longer crystals, which can be treated in the right sequence, that is no longer moves. Fun nemudryaschaya like, but you can play in Diamenty almost indefinitely.
MacMost Sudoku
... and is Sudoku. I like version of Sudoku (MacMost, http://macmost.com/iphonegames/Sudoku/, free) from MacMost more rest, because there are several levels of complexity. The object of the game is to make sure that numbers from 1 to 9 were present in each row, column and box the size of 3 to 3. At first glance, simply, but in fact is becoming harder and harder to reduce the number of visible blocks of public figures at the beginning of the game. In addition, the site has several MacMost games iPhone, including Solitaire and Minesweeper.
Seeqpod
That's hot : a search engine that looks for any free music on the Internet, assembles it on the Executive and recode it in a format compatible with the iPhone. It has lots of interesting thing. For example, I was looking for Lily Allen and found 21 of the track, including not included in the albums songs. You can also listen IIS, which amounted to users Seeqpod (Seeqpod, Inc. , Http://www.seeqpod.com/iphone/, free). People who like variety in music is to look at the site.
Signal
Signal (AlloySoft, http://www.alloysoft.com/, 29.95 dollars) is too expensive, so also are other free programs that engage iPhone as remote panel iTunes (best -- Telekinesis from Google ). The problem is that Windows nothing but Signal could not be found (all software designed for Mac). So, I would recommend it (only our chitatelyam- Sunni). Signal allows you to use iPhone management iTunes, WinAmp or Windows Media Player, manages playback, and navigation on the IIS. The programme will be helpful if those who use the PC as an entertainment centre.
Addfone
Archives software for iPhone already enough, but Addfone (Magno Urbano, http://www.addfone.com/, free) contains more software (now 428 pieces and it is growing steadily). Issue 1 : scroll through the list of programs that we have to be something like a search query like "game" or "news" to see part of the list. But the breadth is impressive.
Technology: The man cut off a finger that was convenient scapegoat in iPhone.
News, never-mind. Denver resident Thomas Martel / Thomas Martel appealed to the surgery clinic to ensure that his thumb bone tion to the size of icons in the phone iPhone.
Thomas - incredibly great man, anxious for technological progress. When he bought a phone Apple, it was faced with a precise hit on the icons and buttons : bold finger to click something wrong with it. Then Thomas called doctors and described his life's difficulties. Doctors suggested surgery.
The operation under local anaesthesia lasted long. Surgeons removed bone of the thumb Thomas, modified roots nails, sshili muscles on the other. Now, the big guy finger like a woman (Rzhevsky, silent!) , As he incredibly happy because the first time falls on a virtual keyboard, and every day, faster print SMS.

After eighteen seasons, and four episodes of numerous awards and prizes (including premium "M", 23 "Emmy Awards" and Time magazine assigned the title "the best television show 20th Century)" Simpsons "feature film began.
In the long-awaited film on the grounds of the popular television series Gomer must save the world from disaster, as he himself provoked. It all starts with his new Washington, mumps, and leaking silo towers filled with manure. This nuclear mixture is the natural consequences of the kind that Springfield has not yet seen. While Marge been able huge miscalculation Gomera, with a hunger for revenge crowd close to home Simpsons. The family barely kills legs, but soon is divided by distance and contradictions.
Springfield residents are more reasons than blood thirsty Simpson. Provoked Gomera disaster attracted U.S. President Arnold Schwarzenegger and Head of the Environmental Protection Kardzhilla Rass, which is a diabolical plan to limit the disaster.

The series "The Simpsons" was born 20 years ago, when Matt Grouninga asked to sketch cartoon sketches for the comedy series "The Tracy Ullman Show", which showed on Fox.

Technology: Apple accused of stealing keyboard
Small firms SP Technologies, located in Florida, the company submitted a claim
In the advertising campaign accompanying the introduction iPhone, a manufacturer has paid particular attention to some of the innovations, which have a unique touch keyboard and a new phone. According to analysts, thanks to a great number of users, tired of a set text on mobile devices, are interested iPhone. Ironically, it has caused ordinary keyboard suit against Apple announced AppleInsider.
Small firms SP Technologies, located in Florida, the company submitted a claim, accusing Apple of violating patent law. The owners of the company claim that Apple iPhone borrowed for the keyboard interface, patented by more than seven years ago. In SP Technologies reported that the claims were sent to Apple in late February, when the images of prototypes iPhone. As a response from the IT giant has not yet been against Apple was filed in federal court in Texas. The charge sheet, which is four pages, that the keyboard interface iPhone uses 4 points patent formula, a registered 4-August 2000, which describes the methods and means easy data input and screen keyboard.
SP Guide Technology claims that Apple has deliberately violated state laws by selling the territory of Texas iPhone, made in violation of the patent. The company seeks compensation for the damage caused by the payment of royalty for each phone. In addition, SP Technology will be banned from further use of the Apple technology.
Earlier in the year, Steve Jobs, the head of Apple, said that to avoid lawsuits record almost every element of the device. At iPhone in the amount received more than 200 patents. According to InformationWeek, a patent that led to the scandal, was received addressed to Peter Bosena (Peter V. Boesen), who was recently sentenced to 51 months in federal penal colony for trying to defraud the health care system. Through fraud, he promised to reimburse the insurance companies more than 900 thousand dollars. Gerd has been filed patent suits in which defendants were Canon, LG Electronics and Kyocera.
Despite the prison term, won himself prosecutor, the situation patent scandal is still not clear. Apple has not yet responded to the accusations which, in large part, may well be fair. The Court, of course, take into account the "dark past" the plaintiff, but a patent in question, really. So here, Peter Bosena still have the chance to receive as compensation from Apple serious amount.
Patent disputes have often attracted worldwide attention. Sometimes prosecutors claim absurd, especially when it comes to the elements of design or interface. Nevertheless, the judge in deciding not relying on their knowledge of information technology, and the letter of the law. Regarding patents, the procedure itself is as provoking mass absurdities. Perhaps suits such as this still has to be filed against successful companies. To curb excesses this patent can only review the entire judicial system, which clearly does not happen very soon.
