It seems the first iPhone 1.1.3 jailbreak by Nate True we all rushed to install is throwing a handful of problems, some of which are fixable and some of which leave us wishing we had waited a little bit. Here's what we know so far from personal experience and what we've read on the internet. More »

Voice Dial iPhone Voice Dialing App Costs Money, But Works Well

Adam of Lifehacker points us to this Voice Dial application for the iPhone, which allows you to record voice samples for any contact on your address book and bring it up just by talking. You can activate voice dialing with the two-press home button trick introduced in iPhone 1.1.1, but you can even put tags on actions like checking your websites, opening email or doing some Google Mapping. Voice dialing is one of the iPhone's missing features we lamented about in the iPhone Book we wrote, but Voice Dial (even if it costs $33) goes a long way to patching it up. Plus, $5 off now for a limited time! [Makayama via Lifehacker]

Third-Party iPhone SMS and MMS Apps Fill Functionality Holes

Big holes in the iPhone's SMS/MMS functionality have been filled with two apps, SMSD and MMS. SMSD allows you to forward old SMS messages to new recipients, as well as sending new messages to multiple people. MMS, on the other hand, lets you send MMS messages (but not receive them yet) from pictures on your phone. This one's still early beta, so be careful if you really need your phone to "not crash." Our only hope is that these apps can be ported over to the "official" iPhone third-party SDK once that's available next year. [MMS and SMS]

Sync Your iPhone, iPod Touch Over Wi-Fi

If the Zune can wirelessly sync over your home network, why can't your iPhone? A developer's made an automatic GUI syncing tool that essentially rsync's a folder on your computer to a folder on your iPhone/iTouch. That by itself is pretty lame and quite limited—especially compared with a full sync you get when you dock your iPhone regularly—but future features are coming that will let you sync your iTunes library, your photos and your contacts. Now that's something we want to see. [Google Code via Everything Cafe via Appletell - Thanks Marcus!]
