A couple weeks back I posted on a few sites that you can use to measure your connection speeds on the iPhone. One of them was the well-know DSL Reports site, which at the time did not offer a very iPhone friendly page.
Well … now they do. They’ve got a nicely iPhone optimized page for all your EDGE, 3G, WiFi and even (God forbid) GPRS testing needs. This is good stuff, as DSL Reports has always been one of the best testing sites to use.
Munster says that Apple didn’t correctly predict the initial demand for the product and has been left without stock to sell. He believes four weeks is the lead time Apple needs to ramp up orders and get new units delivered to its stores.
According to multiple reports - including this one - round the web over the weekend, the iPhone 3G is sold out just about everywhere in the US now - and it may now take up to four weeks for Apple to get their stores re-supplied.
Ouch. Not good for anyone who was hoping to wait for the lines to die down and grab one in a more civilized manner.
Any of you still looking round for a 3G? Or waiting on re-supply for local stores?
Alright - since right now we have to pay out of pocket for everything we review around here from the App Store (Apple fix this please) … sorry if you don’t see a lot of reviews coming out of the "pay-for" section. Unfortunately money isn’t growing on trees around my house, but if I end up buying something off of the App Store - you’re going to know - and you’re going to get 100% is it worth it knowledge.
So, lets get started looking at a nifty little word search game for the iPhone called Wordfind by On-Core. Now before we go any further … if you’re considering Wordfind you should also consider dropping an extra $3 and getting the On-Core Game Pack Vol. 1 which also includes Sudoku and a picture puzzle game. But for $1.99 …
A lot of folks had been hoping for support for the A2DP Bluetooth audio stack in the 3G iPhone. (A2DP allows for stereo music over Bluetooth in addition to the standard mono Bluetooth headset audio.) Unfortunately, Apple did not gratify this particular wish, but now Hong Kong-based accessory maker Brando is stepping to the gap with the INFINXX AP23.
Good news for those who’ve been longing for A2DP support on the iPhone, as long as you’re OK with an adapter. Even if you’re not a big fan of the adapter concept, this one seems very compact and pretty subtle in its appearance.
The INFINXX AP23 goes for $62 plus shipping, and you can check out all its details and specs HERE …
Just spotted this one via a post over at Gear Diary, and watched a video demo of this new iPhone ringtone making application called iRinger.
iRinger looks like a very good free option for ringtone creation - offering a very easy to use interface and a good, complete set of features - even down to letting you choose to export a newly created ringtone direct to iTunes or using SSH to directly transfer it to the iPhone.
Tonight I’ve used the brand new Pwnage Tool 2.0 and pwned my V1 iPhone with a custom build of the iPhone 2.0 software - hence the App Store and Cydia sitting happily next to each other in the above screenshot.
So I thought I’d share a few quick impressions of the new version of the popular Pwnage Tool, and some sceencaps of what you’ll see as you run through the latest pwning process …
Tonight the Dev Team has released the new Pwnage Tool 2.0 - which can jailbreak the iPhone 3G model and the iPhone 2.0 software.
The software does not yet provide an unlock capability, but it does offer its well-known easy interface for jailbreaking the iPhone V1, iPod Touch, or iPhone 3G.
I’ll be trying it out on my V1 iPhone running the 2.0 software very shortly.
There’s only a Mac version right now - hopefully a Windows version is in the works.
You can download the new Pwnage HERE - try the BigBoss mirror link towards the bottom of the page for faster download results …
Tap Tap Revenge - the super popular music and rhythm game for the iPhone - has been updated. Yesterday’s update added bug fixes, stability improvements - and an ability to download extra tracks.
You can choose to add additional tracks by degree of difficulty - easy, medium, hard, or extreme new ones for your tap tapping pleasure.
TTR is happily sitting at the top of the Most Popular free apps charts in the App Store for most of this week. Nice to see it already is being updated and adding features.
You can find TTR in the Games category of the App Store …
Hurrah! After a week of being held firmly in some bizarre sort of Apple limbo-land without much clue as to what obscure bit of paperwork was causing a holdup, Ilium’s eWallet application has finally made it to the iPhone App Store.
The app has been ready to go since before the App Store launched, so this last week has been intensely frustrating to eWallet users, fans, and of course to Ilium, who make this leading password manager program.
Thankfully, that’s all done with now - and eWallet is now available. For those who are unfamiliar with the application, it has long been a leader in the digital wallet / password manager category on Palm and Windows Mobile, and winner of awards many times over for best in class in its category. It’s been my personal favorite password keeper app for many years, and I’m very happy to see it on the iPhone.
The iPhone app looks and works wonderfully well in my usage so far. An old favorite looking better than ever on a new platform
eWallet is available now at $9.99 in the Productivity category of the App Store.
"I gotta fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!"
One comedy skit that never fails to have me cracking up no matter how many times I see it is Saturday Night Live’s ‘More Cowbell’ with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken in top, top form demanding more cowbell.
If you haven’t ever seen it, check the video clip HERE, or even the full Wikipedia entry for the whole scoop.
And now there’s a native app that brings the power of this skit to our iPhones. Cowbell presents you with this awesome instrument and lets you provide more cowbell while a track plays in the iPod app - and even occasionally harasses you when it feels the need for more cowbell!
How many GPS-based applications do you expect to see for the iPhone in the future? A hundred? Two hundred? I say, all of them. Whenever it makes sense, the app will know where you are and where other iPhone users are, and make use of it. It’s going to be useful, it’s going to be fun, and it’s going to be huge. — Mashable
