You can then follow these instructions from step 6 on – the grabber will do the temp file watching for you. You will then have your iBEC and iBSS files.

iPhone virus: Patch!

Who said Apples don’t get virusses? In a one character SMS message, an attacker can take over your phone entirely: turn on or off the camera, send the contacts list, dial out, etc etc etc.

Oddly enough the first people to patch it are the people Apple is intent on stopping from working on software for the iPhone: the jailbreakers!

SoundAMP hearing aid app for iPhone

“you run the app with your earbuds plugged in, and then sit back and enjoy listening to the sweet sounds of whatever’s going on around you — only louder. The app allows you to control volume and tone, and you can also replay the last 30 seconds of what you’ve been hearing — in case you missed something particularly juicy”

Now, considering I have a set of Sure headphones I use for running and I run on streets, this is very handy: not being able to hear any traffic feels dangerous!

Volume Boost – Make your iPhone Louder

Volume boost is a pretty sweet tweak that makes your audio louder. When you download this you don’t get any preference app, you have to enable it through Winterboard. This tweak can be found using the ModMyI source. This can be used on any firmware, which may be useful for those who have yet to upgrade to 3.0. I have downloaded this application and have noticed a BIG difference in volume.. – Ty’s Iphone Help

Jailbreak iPod Touch 3.0

Quite cleverly, before the release of iphone OS 3.0, it has allready been jailbroken. OS 3 will finally add such basic concepts such as MMS and copy and paste – only around 2 years after the release of the thing – as well as a search feature. Wow. Basic functionalities. About bloody time. Oh. And if you’re an ipod touch user, you’ll have to pay $9.99 for the privelige of having something that kind of works. Apple – you still suck.
