Fring is the World's First True iPhone VoIP App

Ignoring previous "iPhone VoIP" apps like Jah Jah, which are only VoIP after you connect to their analog to VoIP bridge, this Fring app seems to be the first real VoIP solution for the iPhone/iPod Touch. To get in on this action you need a jailbroken iPhone, Wi-FI access, and you'll be able to call regular phones using either SkypeOut or SIP (your prices will be determined on which SIP provider you use and how much SkypeOut charges for your particular call). Best of all Fring has built-in IM capabilities for Skype, Google, ICQ, MSN, Twitter, AIM, and Yahoo contacts. The download and install are free. [Fring Install Instructions]

New Version of Pwnage Arrives as Apple Tightens Security

We told you that the new Pwnage—the iPhone Dev Team tool to automatically hack legal Apple firmwares to free iPhone by making them fully customizable, open and unlocked—version was imminent and here it is. Gizmodo got early access to the software and it works great. But there is bad news brewing up: Apple is gearing up to battle the hackers big time. More »

Snapture Improves the iPhone's Camera With Digital Zoom, Burst Shooting and Auto-Rotation

The lack of extraneous features on the iPhone's Camera app is great for most people, but heavy-duty cameraphone aficionados want to be able to adjust stuff like digital zoom, greyscale, auto-rotation and burst mode. Snapture is the solution. If you've got a jailbroken phone just install the app from Installer.app's Utilities section and you'll be able to do all the things we listed above, plus even silence the shutter sound without having to silence the entire phone in case you want to take some "covert" pictures.

iPhone 1.1.4 Update is Out

iPhone 1.1.4 Update is Out. You can get it now from iTunes. Remember, if you have jailbreaked or unlocked your iPhone, don't install it. If your iPhone is clean, have fun. We will keep updating this space with our discoveries. Apparently, the 162.1MB update "fixes bugs and supersedes all previous versions." As Leander at Cult of Mac points out, do bug patches really take up 160MBs? SDK, here we come.

LoJack Your iPhone

Erica Sadun of iPhone coding fame just rigged up a sort of LoJack for your jailbreaked iPhone. Using Twitter, the iPhone can send periodic updates telling exactly where it is in terms of the location of its nearest cellphone tower. If your phone is lost or stolen, just check the Twitter update page and grab the latest latitude and longitude, which you can then use to somehow track down your phone. We're not sure how well it'll work in practice, but it's better than nothing. [TUAW]

Third iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak Upgrades Directly via Installer

If you've got an already jailbroken 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 iPhone, you can now upgrade directly via Installer.app—no connecting to Mac or PC required. The only caveat is that the process takes 45 minutes as it downloads the entire upgrade via Wi-Fi, so hook your phone up to an AC adapter before you start. Again, find it in installer.app on your jailbroken 1.1.2 iPhone. [Crunchgear ]

Free Your iPhone Using a SIM Unlock Card

This new device from Brando claims to have the ability to unlock your iPhone on the SIM level by attaching to the card. It will work with any firmware, but keep in mind that activation is required. So, v1.1.2 is a go, but not v1.1.3 (just yet). Plus, it is a good deal at only $30. Additional pic after the break. More »

The video shows how to move icons around in the Springboard, wobbling to indicate they can be dragged and dropped around, which is kind of an Apple-meets-Nintendo touch:

Air Hockey for iPhone Sadly Doesn't Use Air

Today's iApp-a-Day brought iPhone users a surprisingly fun game, Air Hockey. This 2-player game takes advantage of the multi-touch display by having the player's finger control their air hockey mallet. The game can be a bit buggy at times, especially when your mallet goes out of control and hits the puck into a million different directions, but overall it's an awesome game when you have a partner to play with. To use, iPhone users must jailbreak their phones to get installer.app, which will then allow them to install iApp-a-Day. [Instructions]

iPhone and iPod Touch 1.1.2 Firmware Now Available via iTunes

As always, there are a few things you should know before you upgrade so make sure to educate yourself. This goes for the iPod Touch firmware as well, which was also released today. [MacRumors]

An Apple Store employee just tipped us off on why he's looking forward to the iPhone 1.1.2 patch. He IMs: "Please post something telling people to stop fing jailbreaking in store iPhones and iTouches. We spend a good 2 hours every night overtime redoing the damn things because people are like 'uhh look at me, I'm special. I can go to a URL.' Our store has 70ish iTouch and iPhones, so you can imagine...". After laughing our asses off, he replied, "is that Jason i hear volunteering to restore all the touches tomorrow night?"

UK iPhone Launching with 1.1.2 Firmware, Jailbreak Broken

T3 got their hands on the new European iPhone, and to their delight (and dismay), the phone is pre-installed with firmware 1.1.2—which is newer than the 1.1.1 firmware we currently have in the States. Believe it or not, it's actually packing some new features. But before you ask, their early testing shows that current Jailbreak software is no longer functional. So that whole saga continues!

100k iPhone Users Jailbreak'd Yesterday

Approximately 100k iPhone users, and what I'd guess as about 5-7% of all iPhone users, browsed to jailbreakme.com to put apps back on their 1.1.1 iPhones. That's not far from the 9% owner base that Apple brags picked up 2 million Leopard copies over the first two days of sales. That's a lot of iPhone hacking. [iPhone Atlas via Crave's Krazit]
