iPhone Pwnage Tool 2.0 Now Available (Jailbreak and Unlock)

The iPhone 2.0 Pwnage Tool is now available, weighing in at 19.7MB. It came slightly earlier than expected, but I'm sure nobody's complaining that they can now unlock their iPhones and iPod touches a day early. Grab it on the iPhone Dev Site. It only jailbreaks, not unlocks the iPhone 3G, so you'll have to wait a little longer for that one. [iPhone Dev Blog]

First iPhone 2.0 Pwnage Tool Out Tomorrow

The iPhone Dev hints rather strongly on their official blog that the much anticipated Pwnage tool that'll jailbreak phones running the 2.0 software so you can install unofficial apps alongside those from the App store will be released tomorrow. Usually I hate Sundays, but apparently not tomorrow. UPDATE: Nevermind, it's out.[iPhone Dev Team Blog]

Windows 95 Lead Architect Is a Mac Convert, Launches First iPhone App

After he left Microsoft, Satoshi Nakajima, the lead architect of Windows 95 and a "defining force" in the creation of Internet Explorer 3.0, wanted to understand why people were so into Apple. He picked up a Mac two years ago and decided he'd never use a PC again. Now his company, Big Canvas, develops apps for the iPhone. Their first app for the iPhone, PhotoShare, isn't bad, but it's another photo service to sign up for, and we just wanna use Flickr, damn it. More »

Psystar HQ Up for Sale, Buy It Now for $4.6 Million

Not looking so good on the Psystar front. Following Apple's inevitable lawsuit and demand that every Mac clone be recalled, apparently their HQ is on the market and "priced for quick sale" by owners Constructora Canahuati. "Find new headquarters" is a hell of an addition to an already busy to-do list. [Yahoo!, Thanks Sean!]

Beware iPhone App Scams

If you Google "iPhone apps," the first thing that comes up is iPhoneApps.org, a site selling a bundle of "top 10" iPhone applications for $25 using "safe PayPal." Friends, there's nothing safe about this site. It's a scam. The iTunes App Store is the exclusive distributor of official iPhone apps, period. Don't get your apps anywhere else. Tell your friends and family. If you're savvy enough to use Installer.app, this PSA is not for you, obviously (I mean, you know you can get all this stuff for free, right?). [Thanks Blake!]

Tip: iPhone Remote Is a Wi-Fi Keyboard for Apple TV, Prevents Aneurysms

Apple TV's onscreen keyboard is an exercise in stress management, especially with its morsel of a remote. Not pimped by Apple is that the iPhone's Remote app solves this by presenting the iPhone's keyboard anytime you need to type and would otherwise pop a blood vessel, like when you're searching for "Jay and Seth Vs. the Apocalypse" on YouTube or plumbing through iTunes. Handy for the weekend, no? [Daring Fireball via Mac Rumors]

Moto Sues Former Exec For Jumping Ship To Apple

Motorola, upset that one of its former executives might be violating a no-compete clause in his contract, has sued him for going to work at Apple with the iPhone as an executive in sales. The contention isn't just sour grapes, says Moto, but that the exec, Michael Fenger, has intimate knowledge of Motorola's "trade secrets and customer relationships". But let's be clear here: The people who settled for a free RAZR are not the people waiting in like for the iPhone. We'll see what happens. Non-compete suits are usually pretty cut and dry, but this one could get interesting, if not humorous. [Yahoo! News]

OS X Media Application CenterStage Merges With Plex

CenterStage, the great Media Center-like UI for OS X, has merged with the Plex project, an alternative interface in hopes of creating a de facto product for any Mac user looking for more functionality that Apple TV currently affords. The application can play back many formats the Apple TV, and even iTunes, can't, like XviD, AVI, Video_TS, and others, straight through your HDTV. It also has additional features like streaming Internet radio and built-in game emulators. The excellent Plex UI will mix with what CenterStage already has built, the end result being a universal application for Mac-centric Media Centers that's easy to use. Check out the new UI demo and screen shots after the jump. [CenterStage] More »

NSFW: Hands-on With iRoticNet.com's All You Can Eat iPhone Porn

Of all the talk of the iPhone 3G being THE new porn delivery device for on-the-go businessmen, there's been very little evidence of that actually being the case. Until now. A new site called iRoticNET.com offers a $9.95 subscription for absolutely unlimited porn direct from their site, featuring over 200 titles at launch next week on July 22. Our hands-on verdict? It's wankalicious. More »

iPhone 3G Review Addendum: iPhone GSM Buzz Gone, More Software and App Foibles

Everyone at Giz has continued to test hardware and software in the iPhone 3G over the last week and we've updated our reviews with the following nuggets:
• Speaker Buzz: We've finally confirmed that the dreaded buzz you got with speakers and tape adapters too close to the iPhone with the GSM connection running during calls or data disappears when you're running 3G. (Thanks Damien for helping with testing.)
• Battery Life: gets murdered by 3G and 3D gaming. Here are hardware and software fixes.

More Signs of New Apple Notebooks Surface

Macrumors has spotted a report of a large Apple-placed order for laptop PCBs—up 20% over the current quarter's intake—as well as a stock notification to Best Buy announcing sparse MacBook shipments over the next two weeks. On top of the MacBook Pro case spyshots from earlier this month and this week's launch of Centrino 2, I'd say it's a good bet that new Mac portables are in the pipe. [Macrumors]

Predictable Yet Still Entertaining: John Dvorak Calls Out NYT and WSJ for Shilling Apple

Yes he does. Every Apple launch, at least one tech journalist goes meta and calls out other journalists for being Apple shills. Meanwhile, PC Mag gives the iPhone a 4/5 rating with Editor's Choice, John likes Macs, and there's an icon on his column for "More iPhone coverage". Oh people, don't you know he's just getting you riled up to get attention and links?...I guess that worked. Man, the guy is a genius. [PC Mag]

iPhone Apps We Like: Twinkle, the New Best Twitter App

So, we were a little premature when we declared Twitterific the best iPhone Twitter app—Twinkle, the hugely popular Twitter app with location goodness for Installer.app, just came to the App store. Its killer location features are totally intact: Tweets are lojacked with your current location (Twitterific just updates your profile's current location), and you can check out who's tweeting within one, ten, or up to 1000 miles from you.

Dark Knight iPhone App Lets You Jokerize Yourself

It's essentially just a marketing tool for the Dark Knight movie, but hot damn if we don't like this. Just run the app, take a picture of yourself, then add Joker elements to your face. Works on iPhone (use the camera) or iPod touch (use a saved picture). The only downside is that there's no way to delete picture elements once you've let go of your fingers, so be careful or you'll have to start over. [iTunes - Thanks Marco!]

iPhone Apps We Like: BeatMaker Sequencer and Sampler is Timbaland's Favorite App Too

It may come as a surprise, but none of us here at Giz moonlight as hip-hop producers. Thankfully Henny from thabizness.com does, and he put the iPhone sequencer and sampler app BeatMaker through its paces. You can load in your own samples, sequence them up with applied effects and EQ and then export the finished product as "new mobile joint 1.wav" as we see here. Really sweet stuff for $20. Hit his site for the track download, and our iPhone App Review Marathon for more apps. [Tha Bizness]

iPhone Gets Stereo Bluetooth A2DP Adapter

The iPhone (both 2.5G and 3G) might not come with an A2DP Bluetooth in place, but you can easily add it on yourself with this Infinixx adapter. It's $62, but works with the iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod video, iPod color and iPod mini, meaning you can basically turn any fairly recent iPod into a wireless stereo device. You can also pair your Bluetooth headset to the iPhone directly to answer calls, which isn't supported through the dongle transmitter. Until Apple decides to put A2DP in the iPhone itself—and shorten the battery life even more—this is your only hope for wireless stereo music. [Brando]

First iPhone 2.0 Pwnage Tool Will Not Unlock iPhone 3G, says Dev Team

The tireless iPhone Dev folks who managed to jailbreak the iPhone 3G within five days of launch have announced that the first Pwnage tool will be released shortly, but it will not support a baseband unlock of the iPhone 3G. The team is still working out the particulars of the unlock and rightfully wants to do it correctly the first time. It will however jailbreak the 3G while maintaining App Store support and unlock your iPhone classic running the 2.0 firmware. [iPhone Dev Team Blog] Thanks Mehmet!

Apple Now #3 U.S. Computer Maker, Behind Only Dell and HP

Last Friday might've been the most important day of the year for Apple, but today's looking pretty shiny too: Gartner estimates that sales of 1.4 million Macs last quarter effectively make it the number three computer maker in the US, trailing only Dell and HP, thanks to a swoopy 38 percent growth in Mac sales.
