Applications, Latest News, Unlocking iPhone OS 3.0
update 4:
This is an important note for those looking to update their 2G iPhone to the 3.0 firmware without losing their activation and unlock.
If you click the Update button in iTunes to install the 3.0 firmware you will not loose your unlock. (2G iPhones ONLY).
HOWEVER, if you are using the 2G iPhone on an unofficial carrier you may loose your activation. This means that will your network will be detected but you will not be able to use your iPhone.
You will loose your activation if you used QuickPwn to jailbreak your iPhone. If you used PwnageTool you will not.
If you are super excited about iPhone 3.0 and wish to update immediately, either make sure you jailbroke with PwnageTool or rejailbreak using PwnageTool and then do the update.
Otherwise wait for a little bit and the iPhone Dev-Team will release new PwnageTool and QuickPwn utilities shortly.
update 3:
It seems that if you have a iPhone 2G then there is no need to jailbreak/unlock if your phone has previously been jailbroken, but it has also been reported that the update breaks the jailbreak…. will keep you posted.
update 2:
We will be posting information and tutorials as soon as the jailbreak and unlock for the new firmware is released.

Latest News, Rumours iPhone OS 3.0
There has been speculations and well some say proof that the new iPhone and the new iPhone OS 3.0 will have some major improvements. According to a chinese forum, the specifications of the new iPhone will include a faster cpu from 400Mhz to 600Mhz. Other improvements will be an increase in RAM (upto 256MB from 128MB) and a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus. Of course, we are also expecting that there will be a increase in disk space to 32GB from 8GB and 16GB. Now I can live with that. It seems that there will not be any major change to the battery or the look.
A Russian iPhone fan-site reports that the camera used by the iPhone works better under the new 3.0 OS beta. They took a picture of a cat while moving their device, of course the image’s quality isn’t the best, but as you may guess, the picture looks better under 3.0 compared to 2.2.1.
So lets all wait and see what happens. I know I’m waiting to get the new iPhone 3G.
What will you do with your old iPhone? Let us know.

Latest News, Rumours iPhone OS 3.0, magnometer
According to a BoyGeniusReport, the iPhone OS version 3.0 beta 5 has a built in magnetometer. Screenshots of a compass suggests this technology will be implemented into the new OS.
“We just got a couple images from one of our Apple ninjas and it appears to show a compass option in one of the debugging menus. Our source says this is obviously for a built-in magnetometer in the upcoming iPhone hardware revision and with what’s already been reported, we’d have to agree.”
What is a MAGNOMETER?
“A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument.” according to the WIKIPEDIA.
