iPhone Sim Free Unbricking and Unlocking 1.1.1 Firmware
iPhone Sim Free now provides an unlocking solution for the 1.1.1 firmware. If you want a free solution you must need to wait (patience is a virtue right?), but now the iPhone Dev Team decrypted the ramdisk and gain access to the secpacks that means a free unlock coming soon.
In this video an iPhone with firmware 1.0.2 that was unlocked with anySim, one of the free software unlocks. Then updated to firmware 1.1.1 using iTunes and then downgrade to 1.0.2

Solution for 3G on iPhone?
Intel has announced it´s new Moorestown Mobile Internet Device (MID) Processor coming out in 2009. Intel claims that Moorestown will bring serious computing power. This Intel processor has advantages over Samsung´s ARM-based chipset that is used on the iPhone. Moorestown power consumption is at “ultra low” levels and this may help in the issue of 3G battery hogs.
Maybe this new Intel processor is path for including 3G on the iPhone. Apple seems interested in this new plataform. Now we can expect all the versions of OS X under Intel 
We can see in this video an iPhone Clone, but widescreen. What do you think?

Back iPhone Replacement
Did you accidentally drop your iPhone? Do you want to search in ebay for a back replacement for your iPhone? I think not.
There is another way, the easy way to order a new but not official iPhone back replacement. That should do the trick, and all this cost only $32 or 35 and they ship to your doorstep worldwide.

Is Nokia Envious of Apple?
Nokia has a marketing tactic going on. I think they want some of the successful iPhones sales to their way. Nokia displays an ad which have been able to see in some walls of New York. The ad argues about phones should be open to modifications, and not tied to only one carrier like the iPhone with AT&T.
I think Apple is too busy dealing with the iPhone`s firmware 1.1.1 effects, causing iBricks. Or maybe preparing the new ultra slim MacBooks?

iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 = iPhone relock
The new iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 is out, and is only recommended to people that activated the iPhone with AT&T.
If you unlocked your iPhone with AnySIM or iUnlock don´t update and wait for a new jailbreak aplication coming soon.
If you update to this firmware, the iPhone doesn´t get bricked, but it will return your iPhone to the activation screen.
The iPhone Dev Team should get this thing working fast (remember the free unlock?).
The new Firmware upgrades/fixes:
- iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store
- Louder speakerphone and receiver volume
- Home Button double-click shortcut to phone favorites of music controls
- Space bar double-tap shortcut to intelligently insert period and space
- Mail attachments are viewable in portrait and landscape
- Stocks and cities in Stocks and Waether can be re-ordered
- Apple Bluetooth Headset battery status in the Status Bar
- Support for TV Out
- Preference to turn off EDGE/GPRS when roaming internationally
- New Passcode lock time intervals
- Adjustable alert volume
Here is a summary of what the firmware update does in different scenarios:
The update will work ok in iPhones with no modification.
The update will work ok in iPhones with Installer.app (although it gets wiped out. The apps seem to remain in the iPhone, but they won’t appear in your screen.)
The update will work ok in unlocked iPhones, but it will return your iPhone to the activation screen. From there, no activation is possible. The iPhone doesn’t get bricked but, if you want to keep using it, don’t update your iPhone.
This has been confirmed with both anySIM and iPhone Sim Free.
“Third-party applications won’t work after the update” (confirmed by Dev Team.)
“Firmware 1.1.1. relocks iPhone properly” (confirmed by Dev Team.)
Unlocked iPhones updated to 1.1.1 will work with legit AT&T cards (confirmed by Natetrue)
iPhoneSimFree, the pay-method , reports that the their SIM unlocking solution doesn’t hang your iPhone at the activation stage. You can still activate with an AT&T SIM, but other SIMs won’t work after activation—you’ll have to wait for a new jailbreak for that.
Are you going to wait for a new jailbreak, or you need some of this updates like the Support for TV Out?
Update:According to Jesus Diaz on Gizmodo-
Here`s a video of the firmware update process with my unlocked iPhone (done with iPhone Sim Free.) You can see the result at the end: activation limbo (unless you have a legal AT&T card and a contract. Unlike me and all international users who have unlocked their iPhones.)
If you don`t want your iPhone on Activation limbo, just wait. You waited all this time for a free unlock right? Now you need to wait with your unlocked iPhone. Is that hard?

Wordpress Admin plugin for iPhone
If you have an iPhone and a WordPress blog then this is your lucky day, because Dan Cameron released the WordPress Admin Plugin for iPhone. Now when you login to you admin account through your iPhone you will see a minimalist interface suited for the iPhone. Now we can post on the go, but with some limitations, there’s no copy/paste right?
Here is the interface:
Horizontal typing may come handy. I write faster, because there is more room between keys, does that happen to you?
Just install the plugin in your WordPress self-hosted blog and give it a try!

Lock or not to Unlock that´s the Question
The cat and mouse battle officially started and this is Apple posture against iPhone unlocking.
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.
Don’t worry, its all okay and cool. You just need to stay away from the firmware update. Who needs the WiFi Music Store? Only Apple needs it so he can make money!
Just don’t update your firmware and you are good to go. Or there is another way you can follow, but you need to wait until next week, because the iPhone Dev Team is coding a tool which will be able to recover your nck counter and seczones that enables you to restore your phone to a Factory-like state. That’s pretty uhu?
If you have an unlocked iPhone my advice is to stay away from the firmware update, and wait for a solution, that I will inform here. It may be convenient to subscribe to my feed so you can get updates on the brand that you love and hate.

T-Mobile & Apple Deal Confirmed
We talked about T-Mobile having closed an exclusive deal with Apple for providing the new iPhone on Deutschland, well.. that is now something confirmed by Apple and The iPhones are rolling out on the same day as in the United Kingdom at Novembrer 9.
The iPhone will be sold in Germany through Telekom Shops of Deutsche Telekom and the T-Mobile web shop. You would need a 2-year contract with T-Mobile or you can unlock it 
The 8GB model is going to cost €399 including V.A.T.
If all goes as expected tomorrow its the turn for France to have an iPhone

O2 Official iPhone Carrier On UK
O2 is the carrier of choice for the iPhone on the United Kingdom. The iPhone will arrive on Novembrer 9.
The price of the 8GB iPhone is going to be £269 ($535 USD) including VAT. Carphone WhareHouse is going to distribute the iPhone in the UK with over 1300 retail stores. Visual Voicemail is going to be enabled too. Unlimited Data with £35, £45, £55 plans. You are going to Activate the iPhone on iTunes just like you do on AT&T.
Guess what?
No 3G yet, only EDGE, but O2 made an arrangement with TheCloud.net to put over 7500 Free WiFi hotspot in the UK for the iPhone. This event only covers the UK and later they are going to announce other carrier arrengements.
The reason the iPhone is not getting 3G Network Compatibility is because this according to Steve Jobs:
“The 3G chipsets are real power hogs. Handset battery life cuts power to 2-3 hours. Our phone has a talk time of 8 hours and that’s really important when you want to use your phone for internet and music. 3G needs to get back up to 5+ hours, something we think well see later next year. … WiFi is way faster than any 3G network. Energy efficient EDGE with better, faster WiFi. That’s why we chose it.”
The iPhone Ads on the United Kingdom are going to be the same as the United States but with a British voiceover. And Instead of Showing the New York Times they are showing The Guardian.
Maybe while Steve Jobs is on Europe is going to announce the T-Mobile deal in Deutschland, right?
Update:Maybe tomorrow they are going to announce the T-Mobile or Vodafone deal on Germany. Then on Thursday the turn its for France, and T-Mobile or Orange are candidates.

T-Mobile to Distribute iPhone on Deutschland
Deutsche Telekom has closed an exclusive deal with Apple Inc to sell the revolutionary iPhone in Germany, at a price of 399 euros, that’s about $554 dollars.
T-Mobile has agreed to share revenue generated by the iPhones with Apple. I think Apple is going to get 40% revenue share based on this.
The German operator would be the first European company to distribute the iPhone. Let’s wait a couple of days for the announcement, to clear doubts.

iUnlock: Easier & Faster
iUnlock is finally finished by the iPhone Dev Team. Get ready to unlock your iPhone in about 3 to 5 minutes. There is a Version for Windows in a .pxl file and now this for Mac OS X Users. I may think that this new iUnlock.app is going to display a progress bar etc. You just need to do this steps:
Download iUnlock Reloaded
- upload all 3 files to your phone in some location you prefer
- ssh in
- run iUnlock_Reloaded (./iUnlock_reloaded)
- be happy if its done
Sam a member of the iPhone Dev Team says this:
The push the button iCandy gui version is not yet released casue of troubles with the new toolchain. Will be out in a few, once toolchain is fixed up.
This is a faster method and you will be able to get flashing the firmware in 5 minutes or less a great improvement from those 20 minutes of pain with the first realease
If you have windows then use this file:
And install it with iBrickr
If you need more details se here.

iPod Touch vs iPhone Interface
Here its a nice video that compares the new iPod Touch with the iPhone interface. A diferrent thing on the iPod Touch is that in the calendar application there is no “Add Event” like the iPhone does, to activate an alarm an such. Basicaly is the same interface and same functionality wraped in another thiner device (iPod Touch).
I like the iPod Touch Dock better than the iPhone dock (or SpringBoard). Whats your opinion?

iPhone Ready to Unlock
Well finally I have my iPhone ready to unlock. I was lucky; thanks to AT&T I couldn’t buy it before the price drop and then I found the last iPhone on the Apple Store at La Cantera in San Antonio. I am going to record on video when unlocking my iPhone to share with you.
I decided to wait a little bit and not buy iPhone SIM Free unlock and I think that good things come to those who wait. A Freeware unlock is coming soon according to this thread in Hackint0sh Forum and here.
Lets see what happens in a couple of hours. Maybe you could get your unlock free of charge.
