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]

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.

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 »

iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak is Here!

The iPhone 1.1.3 Jailbreak is here, courtesy of Nate True and the iPhone Dev team. It's a Windows-only download right now, but Nate tells us that they've got a Mac version coming soon and it "should be quick". Make sure you have more than 300MB free, otherwise Nate tells us that you might brick your phone during the update. Updated: Mac version's done and Lifehacker's got a walkthrough. More »

iPhone 1.1.3 Firmware Jailbroken (Wee!) but Not Available (Boo!)

Well, that was quick. It appears firmware 1.1.3 has already been Jailbroken. The solution is not available to the mainstream yet, as both teams are holding back until the iPhone SDK launches in April. Nevertheless, there is video proof; jump to catch some shaky evidence of installer.app playing nice with 1.1.3. More »

Upgrade Your iPod touch to firmware 1.1.2, Keep Your Apps

CrunchGear's Matt Hickey wrote a good how-to on upgrading your iPod touch's firmware to 1.1.2 without sacrificing the ability to download third party apps. The process is farily simple; it involves downgrading to 1.1.1 (if you're not there already), downloading and installing a program through installer.app called OktoPrep, upgrading to firmware 1.1.2 and finally running Jailbreak 1.1.2. For all the nuances, check out the post at [Crunch Gear].

Apple Store Employees Looking Forward to 1.1.2 Firmware

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!
