Posted by iPhoneHacks on Nov 04, 2007 | Comments (2)

The hacked iPhone seems to be getting celebrity status off late, we first had folks at Macenstein who had revealed a Flickr pic of an iPhone in an Apple store where it appears that the iPhone has been jailbroken as it had the Installer app icon.

If that was not funny enough, folks at Gizmodo have spotted that the iPhone used in iPhone spoof ad on NBC’s Saturday Night Live in fact had the Installer icon; which also indicates that the iPhone was jailbroken.

It is open to discussion whether the hacked iPhone was part of the joke in the spoof ad especially since Apple and NBC are not getting along well.

Check out the image of the hacked iPhone and the YouTube video of the iPhone spoof ad (quite funny) after the jump.

Time: iPhone is the “Invention of the Year”

Posted by iPhoneHacks on Nov 01, 2007 | Comments (2)

I might be saying this the second time in the day, but as soon as Steve Jobs had announced the iPhone during the Keynote address in January, we knew Apple had a winner on their hands. iPhone has easily been the most hyped gadget ever created and the great thing about iPhone is that it has been able to live up to all the hype.

So when Time announced today that the "Invention of the Year" is the iPhone, we are not surprised, if it was anything other than the iPhone then we would have been. YouTube won the award last year. Some of the credit to make the iPhone even better than what we thought it would be has to go to the hard work put in by the iPhone hackers and developers and the most revolutionary part of the iPhone is that with the firmware updates and SDK in February, we should see Apple unlocking new features and application that will make it even better.

Time gives five reasons for giving iPhone that award:
1. The iPhone is pretty
2. It’s touchy-feely
3. It will make other phones better
4. It’s not a phone, it’s a platform
5. It is but the ghost of iPhones yet to come

So lets put aside our critics hat about the iPhone not being open enough, it being locked etc etc and raise a toast to Apple Engineers for giving us the iPhone and if it hadn’t been the iPhone then it would have been iPod Touch, the best iPod Apple has ever created.

iPhone owners let me know your thoughts.
