Jailbreaking adds "unofficial" application installers to be put your iPhone such as Cydia, Icy or Installous by Appulo.us, which let you download many 3rd applications that are unavailable in the official iTunes App Store. Jailbreaking also allows you to add tweaks and modify your iPhone in many ways. ]]> http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/07/22/why-jailbreak-or-unlock-your-iphone/feed/ 0 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/07/22/jailbreakunlock-iphone-3-0-with-redsn0w-for-os-x-or-windows/ http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/07/22/jailbreakunlock-iphone-3-0-with-redsn0w-for-os-x-or-windows/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 04:45:26 +0000 Stephen Antonucci http://www.reelsmart.com/?p=5252 This method will NOT work with iPhone 3GS.

It adds features that are missing from Snowtape and has a nicer UI than Bitcartel's RadioLover. Radio Gaga is available at an introductory price from MacUpdatePromo for just $19.99, that's 50% off. The launch price, offers a license usable on 3 Macs. With Radio Gaga you can listen to 10,000+ Internet radio stations, multi-record dozens of radio stations simultaneously, schedule recordings and filter what gets recorded. This is a fast way to fill up your iTunes library as the recorded tracks are tagged and can easily be sent directly to iTunes. You can organize your favorite stations and tracks with folders and playlists. If you would rather build an iTunes playlist, just highlight the tracks you want click on the "Send to iTunes" button. There is also a nice mini remote control that floats above other windows. One of the included stations is Howard 101. So recording Howard Stern on a schedule is quick and easy (no Sirius account needed). If you know of a radio station that's not in the automatically-updated library of 10,000+ Internet radio stations, you can add it yourself. System Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.5
• Intel or PowerPC processor
• 1 GB RAM
• Internet connection

Google's Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010 and will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips. Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Google Chrome is a new windowing system running on top of a Linux kernel. It will be open source and Google is asking for help from the open source community. Can Google do more damage to Microsoft's market share than Linux distros have? Maybe?

I was looking to find a nice wireless speaker to use with my iPhone 3GS and Blackberry Curve. The BlueAnt M1 Portable Stereo Speakers, $169.99 [Amazon] filled this perfectly as it features rechargeable batteries that will run the device for around 10 hours (medium volume level), has an output of 28 watts RMS and is compatible with any Bluetooth A2DP device including computers, PDAs and mobile phones. A nice added feature is its stereo 3.5mm jack on the rear so you can use the speakers with your non-Bluetooth devices connected directly. The first thing you will notice is just how loud these portable speakers are as they deliver 28 Watt RMS (making it one of the most powerful portable Bluetooth speakers in the world as claimed by BlueAnt). With an internal Subwoofer they sound good, especially for Bluetooth speakers. Pairing my iPhone 3GS, Blackberry Curve and MacBook Pro was quick and easy. The BlueAnt M1 can be paired with up to eight devices that support Bluetooth A2DP profile. The BlueAnt M1 also supports AVRCP for remote control (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) that allows you to control most Bluetooth devices from the BlueAnt M1 front mounted controls. Unfortunately the iPhone 3G or 3GS does not yet support this feature (play-pause does work with iPhone), but testing it with my Blackberry it worked perfectly. The BlueAnt M1 also automatically re-connects to Bluetooth devices. Included with the BlueAnt M1 Portable Stereo Speakers is a nice well formed carrying case that allows you to use the portable speakers with even removing the case. So these speakers can go most anywhere. Pairing it with my Blackberry Curve allowed me to stream music and Pandora with a range of the usual Bluetooth specs of about thirty feet. Pairing it with my iPhone 3GS truly a blast due to all the apps that are available for the iPhone. I used my iPhone 3GS to stream iPod, Pandora, Slacker, AOL Radio, Concert Vault, FlyCast, iheartradio, ShoutCast, SlingPlayer, Stitcher, Tuner, etc. BUT fire up most any game on your iPhone and the audio from the BlueAnt M1 adds a new dimension to the gameplay! Playing piano or guitar in the Moo-Cow-Music Band app is quite fun over the BlueAnt M1 speakers. If while you are having all this fun playing games or playing music and a phone call comes in the BlueAnt M1 speakers will automatically fade the music and allow you to answer the phone. No speakerphone however. General Specifications:

• Bluetooth v2.0
• Up to 10 meters or about 30 feet (Bluetooth standard) Frequency 2.4 GHz

I am watching it right now and have tried it on WiFi as well as 3G. I was impressed by this iPhone app in the past and I am now even more impressed. They plan on streaming two games a day and users are subject to blackout regulations. The video looks pretty good and the app even offers DVR functions like pausing live stream and a 30 second rollback. If you are a baseball fan absolutely take a look at this app. MLB.com At Bat 2009 has become one of my favorite iPhone apps. MLB.com At Bat 2009 also includes MLB.com Gameday Audio, MLB.com Gameday, In-game Video Highlights and Condensed Games. Gameday Audio - Listen to every regular season and Postseason game LIVE, including all home and select visiting team feeds and no blackout restrictions. Gameday - Follow every pitch with exclusive pitch type, location and speed data, plus real-time box scores, play-by-play and player stats. In-game Video Highlights - Watch the best plays of the game moments after they happen. Condensed Games - Watch a 10-12 minute video recap featuring every payoff pitch, 90 minutes after the game ends.]]> http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/mlbcom-at-bat-2009-streams-first-live-game-to-iphone/feed/ 1 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/documents-to-go-v11-to-use-iphone-30-copy-paste/ http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/documents-to-go-v11-to-use-iphone-30-copy-paste/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:49:47 +0000 Stephen Antonucci http://www.reelsmart.com/?p=4758 iPhone OS v3.0 Software Update Version 1.0 of both "Documents To Go" and "Documents To Go with Exchange Attachments" was tested by DataViz and Apple's App Store submission process to be compatible with OS v3.0. In short, if you upgrade to OS v3.0 or buy a 3G S with OS 3.0, your current Documents To Go v1.0 will work exactly as it does today. There's one caveat; our cut, copy, paste will still only work within Documents To Go. This is why we're submitting a v.1.1 update to Apple within days that, when approved, will include: 1) iPhone OS 3.0 Cut, Copy, Paste We will move from the selection "loop" to the selection "pins" user interface. You will be able to cut, copy, paste between Documents To Go v.1.1 and any apps supporting the OS 3.0 Cut, Copy, Paste. For users who remain on OS v2.2 and update to Documents To Go 1.1, the software will detect the OS and use the 1.0 style of DocsToGo-only Cut, Copy, Paste. 2) Pinch Zoom in Word Files The 1.1 update will allow for standard iPhone OS "pinch" zooming while you are viewing and editing Word files on the device. We will also remove the now unnecessary, zoom toolbar option. 3) Full Screen View in Word Currently, you are able to hide the keyboard in portrait and landscape mode. Now you will be able to toggle the toolbar and title bar on and off such that you'll have full use of the big iPhone/iPod touch screen. This will help a lot when typing in landscape mode. OK, then, what's next? We're working diligently on the promised Excel create and edit capability as we've brought to other mobile platforms. However, we felt the OS 3.0 Cut, Copy, Paste support was too important to wait for that release. We'll continue to enjoy reading the great reviews, but will also continue working hard on issues and great ideas brought to our attention via reviews and emails at our website. Documents To Go® (Microsoft Word editing & Desktop sync) is selling for $4.99 and Documents To Go® with Exchange Attachments (Microsoft Word editing, Exchange attachments & Desktop sync) is selling for $9.99 until June 30th.

AT&T was probably the main reason that Nullriver's NetShare, an app that allows you to use proxies to share your iPhone's cellular connection with your Mac, was quickly pulled from the App Store. I was one of the lucky ones who purchased this app as it was only available for a few hours before being yanked forever from the US iTunes App Store. Well I am happy to say that NetShare is STILL working with iPhone 3.0! Best $10 I ever spent. Other solutions for serious road warriors is to buy a separate broadband plan and pick yourself a CradlePoint Router [see my review] or check into the new MyFi Mobile Hotspot from VerizonWireless. With these devices you can have WiFi almost anywhere even in your car! These solutions are a bit more expensive, but may well worth it to some users that need a connection 24/7.]]> http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/state-of-iphone-tethering-netshare-still-works/feed/ 2 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/1password-for-iphone-goes-pro-with-new-features/ http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/18/1password-for-iphone-goes-pro-with-new-features/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:42:30 +0000 Stephen Antonucci http://www.reelsmart.com/?p=4740 1Password for iPhone Pro for iPhone 3.0 with new features.

Local Search [iTunes link], a new Turn-By-Turn navigation app has just entered the App Store selling for ONLY $0.99 Cents, BUT to use this app you must then use the new In-App Purchases feature of iPhone 3.0 to buy time. This is a subscription app! You have to pay $9.99 to get a monthly pass. Networks In Motion, the company which released Gokivo, can not offer the app for free because Apple's policy does not allow free apps to later charge. Apple's policy forces free apps to always be free. However, the app’s description should clearly state, in the first sentence, “SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED.” They should have offered it for $9.99 with a one month subscription to be more forthcoming. So in my opinion this is a bit of a rip-off.]]> http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/gokivo-turn-by-turn-app-only-99-cents-but-an-extra-10-to-use-it/feed/ 4 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/att-wifi-supports-auto-authentication-for-iphone-os-30/ http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/att-wifi-supports-auto-authentication-for-iphone-os-30/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:02:57 +0000 Stephen Antonucci http://www.reelsmart.com/?p=4720 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/att-wifi-supports-auto-authentication-for-iphone-os-30/feed/ 0 http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/twittelator-pro-for-iphone-30-released-with-new-features/ http://www.reelsmart.com/2009/06/17/twittelator-pro-for-iphone-30-released-with-new-features/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:56:20 +0000 Stephen Antonucci http://www.reelsmart.com/?p=4717 Twittelator Pro by Big Stone Phone has updated their popular Twitter app adding new features for the iPhone 3.0 firmware and for the new iPhone 3G S.

So you would save $200 and pay the same amount as a new customer and get a new two year contract. This does NOT help me at all as I spend about $84 (includes taxes) as I am a bigger data user than talker! Bummer. See the AT&T Open Letter here. Basically it seems that AT&T is just allowing customers that spend over $99 per month eligibility for an upgrade three weeks early. Big deal.

Apple designs the hardware and software to provide seamless integration of the iPhone and iPod with iTunes, the iTunes Store, and tens of thousands of apps on the App Store. Apple is aware that some third-parties claim that their digital media players are able to sync with Apple software. However, Apple does not provide support for, or test for compatibility with, non-Apple digital media players and, because software changes over time, newer versions of Apple's iTunes software may no longer provide syncing functionality with non-Apple digital media players.
