I love the first shots of the WWDC banners. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the coded messages they have for us to chew on for the next week, the pure beauty of the design, or just fact that Apple could be days away from Global domination. Whatever it is, we get a shot of what is yet to come. What do you make of the Tagline, “One year later. Light-years ahead.?

Why jailbreaking is going to rock on 3.0

jailbreaked_iphone_by_skill22586

I jailbroke my iPhone about a week ago. I have been really suprised. I found quite a few apps that I could acutally use. While there are quite a few themes, enough to give ” those Bastards from Findland” ( thanks Edward @msmobiles) a run for their money.
The down side of this is that the iPhone becomes unstable.
An example of this is I installed winterboard which is basically a theme app. Winterboard is cool and has some sweet themes, which are very easy to install. But the app seems to reload the theme everytime you go back to the home screen or switch between apps. Since the iPhone wasn’t made to deal with that kind of transition, ocassionally the app will freeze up the iPhone.

Which brings me to the following speculation. I believe that the next Gen iPhone will be even better with jailbreaking. Why? More RAM. With all these memory intensive apps 3.0 and hopefully a new iPhone will be great.

Will You be Able To Upgrade To 3.0 The Day Of WWDC?

With WWDC looming more questions are being asked than being answered.  One of which is whether or not you will be able to see a publicly released version of 3.0 the day of WWDC.  Well I am here to give you my insight as an iPhone enthusiast, long term iPhone owner, and app developer as to why you will not see it until the new iPhone is launched in July.

I am a sucker for trying to figure things out, but to be honest I have never had a breaking revelation that has taken the internet by storm.  However I know that you guys are much smarter than I am and can help crack this “case” (I’m great at bad puns BTW) So I present to you this picture I put together.  On the left is the Rumored iPhone case that we will see in June, and on the right is the iPhone 3G case.  Now I leave it up to you to us your detective skills and try to figure out if the case on the left is just another 3G case or really has potential to be the Next Gen iPhone.  Leave your observations in the comments.

iPhone 3.0 Rumors…. What’s next TV downloads?

Posted May 26th, 2009 in 3.0, Articles, WWDC, iPhone Next by smileyelectric

Apparently so, That is what this article is rumoring.
I personally would love to see movies and TV downloads via my iPhone. But, I don’t believe that we will see TV/Movie downloads via Wifi. Why? Answer the questions below.

1. Will AT&T allow/want 400mb+ downloads over their network?
2. When would one stand next to a WiFI HOTSPOT for 20-45 min downloading a TV/Movie?
3. How much battery power would downloading a 400MB+ file take?
4. When will the rumors end?

WWDC June 8th, 2009

Think there is some anticipation about this year’s WWDC? Well if ticket sales is any indication, I would have to say yes! This is only the second time WWDC has ever sold out, and is poised to be a packed show with all the rumors swirling around. Lets take at a possible look of what we COULD see. Snow Leopard, iPhone 3.0 hardware, an Internet tablet, and/or an agreement with Verizon (doubt it). So as you can see there is a ton of announcements that could be made that will have significant affects. Hit the link to read some more history of Apple’s WWDC from Apple Insider.

Griffin Clarifi Review

Posted April 23rd, 2009 in Apple, Site News, WWDC, iPhone by Geoff Farinha

Are you still searching for that perfect iPhone case? Since purchasing my iPhone 3G back in July I have been on the great hunt for the Holy Grail of cases. After receiving a package from David Ciccone of Mobility Today I can finally say…”I have found the perfect case”.

The Griffin Clarifi is an iPhone 3G case designed to protect your phone and increase the quality of close-up pictures. Griffin has designed the Clarifi with a sliding lens that will slide over your iPhones lens when taking close-up pictures. The lense can then slide back for taking “normal” pictures. Overall I can safely say that the lens on the Clarifi truly does offer a better close-up quality. Below are two example pictures the left picture is without the Clarifi, and the right picture is with the Clarifi:

Without Clarifi With Clarifi

As you can see the Clarifi lives up to its name.

The solid build quality of the Clarifi grants me the confidence that my iPhone is kept safe even through some of the worst drops. The Clarifi is the same slider type design that can be seen on many iPhone cases already. However, the top and bottom portions are coated in rubber for a grip feel while the middle section is a standard glossy plastic. This makes the Clarifi’s design both unique and sleek all at once.

When putting this case onto my phone I noticed that it was lifting up my Zagg Invisible Shield so I decided to use the “dreaded” screen protectors that are supplied with the cases. Much to my surpise the screen protector that Griffin supplied is MUCH better than what I had before. Gone are the orange peel effect and yellowing of the Zagg. I now have a smooth, mirror finish to my screen.

Overall, Griffin has truly hit a grand slam the Clarifi. My quest to find that case is now over and I suggest that if you’re looking for the best possible case around to give the Clarifi a try…you won’t be dissapointed.

One Biiiiiiillion Dol…..Apps

In Apples quest to rule the world turn a profit, they pleaded for the Apple community to buy apps, and they did.   We know Apple just wants to brag at WWDC. Let’s be honest, they’ve earned the right.  Forget comparing that achievement to the mobile market, do you think the computer market sells that many apps in that short of time?  What do you think Apple will set it’s sights after it rules the world?
