glad that I'm working on a Mac and using Google Apps for everything. Guess I should mention Basecamp and Freshbooks. 1 day ago

Background apps on the iPhone - SDK 4

“There are definitely some very interesting methods added to UIApplication’s delegate, including methods for badging the Springboard icon, and methods related to gaining and resigning “active” status - seems like background apps may be permitted somehow.” #

Interesting, I wonder how they’ll handle it (if they do allow some type of background apps, even with cron or something) because I still think they need to be careful. I’d love background apps, for a Google Reader app or a GTalk client but I don’t want my phone overbudened enough to affect the overall speed and stability of the phone.

Jail breaking and hacking your iPhone

If you’re looking to jailbreak or hack your iPhone you really need to check out ZiPhone. Forget about JailBreakMe.com, it doesn’t work on the newer firmware releases but the community and Zibri are working hard on keeping this app easy for all and up-to-date.

It’s as simple as running the program, clicking on one of two options and waiting for your phone to finish updating.

I haven’t unlocked or upgraded my baseband yet but when the 3G phone comes out I’m planning to unlock this one and sell it on eBay or craigslist. I’ll probably post about it when the time comes around.
