New iPhone Ads at Apple.com

Posted on 22 August 2008 in Ads & Commercials, iPhone & iPhone 3G | No Comments »

A set of new iPhone ads explaining twice how the AppStore works, how you get your emails pushed to your iPhone (didn’t hear the word MobileMe but I did hear “push“), what is the 3G…. A bit boring, but Apple’s strategy is here: selling more over 40 million iPhones in the next 12 months, so we can’t blame them on that..

IBM Lotus Note is Coming for the iPhone

Posted on 13 August 2008 in iPhone & iPhone 3G, iPhone Applications | No Comments »

If some had doubts on the ability of the iPhone to be a business machine for managers, and “Blackberry” users… Here’s the answer: IBM Lotus iNote “Ultralite”.

The application has been developed on the Web Access structure of Lotus Domino.

Thanks to this application, the users will be available to access their emails, calendars and contacts from the iPhone’s interface. As a result, the iPhone will be able to communicate with the 2 big IT server’s Standards: Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus (but also with the Open Source Zimbra).

For more screenshots and informations visit the IBM Lotus Notes Ultralite website.

Someone Please Call 999

“I Am Rich” has been removed from the Apple Store.
Its price? Only $999!
8 persons purchased the application (6 from the USA, 1 from France and 1 from Germany), 2 of them made the purchase by error (or to “joke”) and have been refunded by Apple after Armin Einrich’s agreement.
Developer Einrich isn’t happy to see his application out of the Apple Store, probably because of the fact he made $5,600…

Thoughts on iPhone 3G, 2.0 and unlocking solutions.

Posted on 8 August 2008 in iPhone & iPhone 3G | 3 Comments »

Good day people. I’m a new blogger here. I’m not too good with introductions and anecdotes so here goes.

I’m Kofi Blades from a cool tropical island in the Caribbean- Trinidad and Tobago. Hédi is a good friend of mine though we never met. I’ve been following the iPhone development for a while after owning several iPhones;  unlocking, jailbreaking, updating, activating, restoring, unbricking, modifying and customizing- you name it and now here I am. After scouring the blogosphere, endless RSS feeds and enlightening through my own experience, I hope my efforts are appreciated as I strive to be grammatically correct, factual and helpful as possible. Thanks everyone.

There are a lot of products and software that claim to do unlocks but most of them don’t. The only true unlocking tools that ever existed were iPhoneSIMFree’s software that withstood all future firmware updates, anySIM that was released by the DevTeam that unlocked iPhones, and even if there was a problem and a user felt the need to restore, one did not have to reunlock the iPhone. The same goes to Nate True’s iBrickrIndependence, Zibri’s command line and graphical UI, ZiPhone and Pepjin & Francis’ iLiberty+ and Drakenza’s iDemocracy.

Skip the Sloooow, Loooong and Painful iPhone Back Up Process in iTunes

Posted on 6 August 2008 in Macintosh Tips & Help, iPhone & iPhone 3G | 2 Comments »


The back up process can be a pain for iPhone users who have a lot of applications installed on their device.

If you’re impatient (or bored of the backup process) to synchronize only your iPhone and try to cancel the backup, the iPhone won’t sync, since it makes the backup before it synchronizes your datas. Worst, according to a blogger:

The other problem is that if you ever cancel a backup (by clicking the ‘x’ next to the progress bar), it apparently corrupts the existing backup — so if you do then go to restore your iPhone, the backup won’t be usable.

The solution is a command line to type from the Terminal; it will prevent your iPhone from backing up the datas and directly sync.
Prior to do this be sure iTunes is closed.
