Telstra has the iPhone

iPhone Comments Off

I am so stoked today with the Telstra announcement. Now if I can get hold of a sim that allows my first gen phone to work without hacking. I will be over the moon. According to a friend who used to work for Telstra I should be able to request a new NextG sim and change over to the iPhone plan. This will save me $10 per month and give me access to the free WiFi they are offering iPhone customers. Just to be cautious I have reserved a 3G phone. As I am out of contract and they did offer me a new handset last year, that I declined. Damm this is such good news so over hacking my phone with firmware upgrades. Yeaaa Haaaa

iPhone updates comming soon

iPhone, iTunes Comments Off

Apple yesterday seeded new releases of iPhone software to developers, including SDK 8, OS 2.0 Beta 8, and iTunes 7.7.

An anonymous tipster sent us in the info that came with it:

Quote:

iTunes 7.7 pre-release seed is being provided solely for the purpose of installing iPhone OS beta 8 on your Apple devices. The use of this pre-release software is governed by the same non-disclosure agreement covered in your Registered iPhone Developer Terms and Conditions with Apple. iTunes 7.7 pre-release software is for development and testing purposes only and therefore should not be used with any existing iTunes libraries on your system.

Request new iPhone Development Certificate
To prepare for the release of iPhone OS 2.0, certificates issued prior to June 9, 2008 have been
revoked. Request new iPhone Development Certificates in the Program Portal and have a Team
Admin re-generate any provisioning profiles containing the revoked certificates.

Looks like AppStore won’t work without the latest version of iTunes installed. Developers are now encouraged to submit their apps for review – the last we heard they were able to submit the metadat, but uploads were not yet working for the actual apps.

The OS 2.0 Beta 8 firmware is NOT the Golden Master that some sites had rumored was released, but that firmware version will still be released by early July, as Steve let us know in the last keynote.

Also of interest – the usual RAM disk decryption is no longer possible in beta 8. The dev team and hacking community will have to figure this one out in the next couple weeks before launch.

This is unverified, but the tipster also sent us this blurb from the Whats New in iTunes 7.7:

Quote:

What’s new in iTunes 7.7
Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

This could be confirmation of the rumor that’s been going around on the Remote application which lets you control iTunes with the iPhone.

Priceless iPhone question on Hackint0sh

iPhone Comments Off

Hello fellas…

I know it´s a uncommon question…. but…
I have a OSX (Leopard 10.5.2) on a PC (A “genuine” hackintosh ! )

Anyone have tested PwnageTool on this environment ?
The OSX is working flawless on my PC…no crashs… many softs inside are working 100% (Photoshop , After Effects and so on)

And after i pwnage my iphone , it will work with Itunes on my “normal” Windows PC based ?

I´m asking that because in my reads… the only full operational is the Mac Version….

Thanx for all !
