Curious to know if your Benjamin will be well spent on mophie’s iPhone 3G Juice Pack? TestFreaks is out to make sure you have an accurate answer to that, and judging by their report after two solid weeks of usage, the response is an emphatic “yes.” Not only was the device sleek enough to not […]
We’ve been hearing rumors of an iPhone at Walmart for a while now, and the only thing that was even mildly interesting about the unlikely pairing was that there was supposedly going to be a $99 4GB model. Well, now we hear that they’ll indeed be selling the phone, but (as the ad above would […]
Not even 24 hours after discovering the completely befuddling iFone x1 comes this, something entirely more recognizable, yet just as wrong. The iFone 3G is — so far as we can tell — the first mass produced KIRF of the iPhone 3G, and if history has anything to prove, it’ll be just the first in […]
How would you improve the XPERIA X1? If you answered, “remove the keyboard and add a mangled iPhone UI,” then the iFone x1 will be right right up your alley. Of course, this ain’t the first phony X1 we’ve seen, but it might be our fave. What can we say about this one? It appears […]
Hey, just because using secret undocumented iPhone SDK calls might get you booted from the App Store doesn’t mean it’s not a good time — Ars Technica commissioned Freeverse to mod its Moto Chaser game to use the hidden video-out features in iPhone 2.2, and we have to say the results turned out pretty decent.

In case you haven’t noticed the trend, when Apple releases a new iPhone / iPod touch firmware, it has a tendency to fall to the jailbreakers at mind-boggling breakneck speed. QuickPwn and PwnageTool have now both been updated to support 2.2, though there’s a critical note in here from the iphone-dev team: if you have […]
Some good news for iPod touch owners: one enterprising individual going by the nom de mod timmyj9 has figured out how to enable the Street View functionality in the media player’s version 2.2 firmware — albeit with some glitches. If your iPod touch is jailbroken, and if you enjoy this sort of illegitimate activity, feel […]
We’ve heard a few things about the Mobispine MMS app supposedly being developed for the iPhone, but the company’s just answered a couple of questions, and we thought we’d give you a quick rundown. Interestingly, the app will utilize Apple’s announced but delayed push notification, which Mobispine says is due “pretty soon,” though carriers may […]
We figured Apple would’ve learned its lesson after the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority banned those “the real internet” iPhone commercials, but it looks like Steve’s back in detention — the ASA just ruled that another ad claiming that the iPhone is “really fast” is also misleading enough to be pulled. You’ve probably seen the similar […]
Okay, any talk that consistency in Apple’s approval process for the App Store has improved definitely has to be put on hold at this point; first we had that BdEmailer situation that duplicates functionality (albeit shoddily) of the iPhone’s own email capabilities, and now we have official confirmation that Google did a no-no when it […]
