I had written an article yesterday about BBC’s formidable Podcast catalogue now being available on the iPhone, however one of the problems with it if you tried checking it out from outside of UK was that not all podcasts are available.
Here is another internet radio application for the iPhone that you could try out, its also the first native iPhone application to stream internet radio to the iPhone.
Its the unauthorized iPhone Application recently released by Conceited Software called iRadio.
Apple finally launched the iPhone, easily the most hyped gadget ever created in the UK last week.
Close on the heels of the launch BBC Audio & Music have released an optimized version of their web-based directory to make navigating through their formidable Podcast catalogue using the iPhone or for that matter iPod Touch that much more easier.
Its a neat way to stay in touch with the latest News & Current
affairs especially since the iPhone or the iPod Touch don’t have radio,
maybe internet radio will be the way to go.
If you have just bought the iPhone and are not too pleased at the
fact that you have to manually enter and update contacts on it from
your older phone or were looking to wirelessly sync contacts from Outlook, Yahoo,
etc then you will like Funambol, an Open source messaging
service that has recently released their Contact Management App for the
iPhone.
Interestingly, Funambol is providing iPhone owners not one but two options i.e. an iPhone web app or a native iPhone application to always access and use up-to-date
contacts on their iPhones.
Google seems to be steam rolling the mobile computing space with mobile apps roll out. They have recently released an HTML version of Google Notebook optimized for mobile phones.
Google Notebook is one of my favorite apps and it was great to hear about this. Access your notebooks on your iPhone by pointing the Safari browser to http://google.com/notebook/m.
In the mobile version, you have a new notebook called "Mobile Notes" where you can add notes directly from the homepage.
However, the current mobile version has its limitations like you cannot edit the notes from the iPhone, even the mobile notes, there is currently no search option, nor can you add labels or change settings.
If these shortcoming are addressed which I would assume Google is already working on; then Google will have another killer iPhone application.
Though we have seen a good amount of activity from the iPhone hacking community with respect to the release of native iPhone applications, we haven’t seen much or any activity in the iPhone games after the release of Nintendo Emulator for the iPhone.
In fact, I just realized that it has been almost two months since I had written any article on iPhone games so the release of gpSPhone by the iPhone Hacking community is indeed welcome news to take us away (for a bit) from the series of news with regards to iPhone firmware v1.1.2 which was officially released by Apple earlier in the week.
Conceited Software has just released an updated version of TouchFree, a GUI based tool to JailBreak the latest iPhone firmware v1.1.2.
It hasn’t taken too much time for the iPhone hacking geniuses to release a JailBreaking method for iPhone firmware v1.1.1.
However, there is a catch to JailBreak firmware v1.1.2 with TouchFree, find all the details of the Jailbreak for iPhone firmware v1.1.2 after the jump.
I had reported earlier today that iPhone and iPod Touch firmware update v1.1.2 is available, however it is not automatically available using iTunes and the only way to update to the new firmware is to use the restore option.
However, before you update your iPhone to the latest firmware it is recommended that you run through the observations post update to find out all you want to know based on which category you fall under. If you still want to update to the latest firmware and confused on how to start then you can check out the hands-on-guide to update to iPhone Firmware v1.1.2 after the jump.
Google Reader Mobile ranks up there as my top iPhone Application, I just love the ability to read feeds when I am on the move.
Google has just rolled out some new features for Google Reader Mobile with some additional changes especially for iPhone and iPod Touch users which should make the user experience even better.
In case you have not noticed the new features you can find out all the details after the jump.
When I had tested the initial version of AppSnapp, the Single-Click method to jailbreak the iPhone & iPod Touch v1.1.1 which also installed the cool Installer App, I had got it to work after a quite a few attempts. When it works you appreciate how easy it is to jailbreak your iPhone and install the Installer application.
The iPhone hackers have just rolled out an updated version of AppSnapp to make it even better by addressing most of the issues.
So if you were one of those who gave up after it did not work the first time can give it a shot again.
With the flurry of third-party applications since iPhone’s launch; the real estate on iPhone’s home screen has become that much more precious thanks to the 16 applications limitation on iPhone’s home screen.
We have seen some iPhone hacks that enable horizontal or vertical scrolling of the home screen which have been popular, but you got to check out this native iPhone application from iPhone Hacking genius NateTrue called "Dock".
