iPhone Firmware 2.2 to be released on Nov. 21

Categories: 3g, Apple, Applications, Featured, iphone

It looks like Apple is indeed pushing through with the release of iPhone firmware 2.2 and if the latest rumor is to be believed, we’ll see it go live on November 21st. Aside from the Google Maps Street View and new layout of Safari, you’ll also be able to turn off text auto-correction, download podcasts from the App Store, and use the headphone jack as a Line-in port when you upgrade to firmware 2.2. We’re not sure if this is the complete list of new features in the latest firmware for the iPhone, but unless Apple has done something to make it more jailbreak-proof (which I suppose is nearly impossible), then we’re almost certain that an iPhone 2.2 jailbreak won’t be far behind when it’s released on November 21.

There is a brewing controversy between beers simulation applications for the iPod Touch/iPhone, iBeers' s creator Hotrix sued Coors Brewing Co. for stealing its application concept and apply it to a advertising campaign, iBeer cost $3 while iPint is free. Hotrix requested Apple to remove the iPint application from the AppStore because of the legal situation and similarities between both Apps and legal woes. But what I find interesting is who will buy these kind of application that only serve to show you how cool the iphone is. This kind of app can be run once, when played more than once it losses the joice.

We all need them, duh!. iPint Video iBeer Video Now to create a bigger mess is dBeer, the same app concept with a different name, the dBeer application fills the screen with a synthetic beverage complete with rising bubbles and a foamy head that oscillates when the device shakes.

Monster iPhone Tutorial (part 3: iPhone Game Emulators)

Categories: Apple, Applications, Games, Hack, internet, iphone, ipod

iPhone MAME emulator MAME is strictly a non-profit project. Its main purpose is to be a reference to the inner workings of the emulated arcade machines. This is done both for educational purposes and for preservation purposes, in order to prevent many historical games from disappearing forever once the hardware they run on stops working. Of course, in order to preserve the games and demonstrate that the emulated behavior matches the original, you must also be able to actually play the games. This is considered a nice side effect, and is not MAME's primary focus. It is not our intention to infringe on any copyrights or patents on the original games. All of MAME's source code is either our own or freely available. To operate, the emulator requires images of the original ROMs, CDs, or hard disks from the arcade machines, which must be provided by the user. No portions of the original game code are included in the executable. Project Address: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-sdl-mame/ Roms: Look for Mame roms on the net. Zodttd psx4iphone, gpSPhone, snes4iphone, genesis4iphone, and OpenTTD.app can be found here. snes4iphone has been released to beta testers at ZodTTD.com. This build is very special as it marks what is soon to be a trend in ...
