View my Blog on an iPhone/iPod Touch

Mobile Safari ScreenshotI’ve just installed a new Plug-in for my wordpress. If you have an iPhone/iPod Touch. Trying viewing my webpage. It looks great. optimized for the apple web devices (not to mention it uses ajax for faster interaction and more eye candy effects). I still haven’t tried them yet using windows mobile internet explorer or nokia symbian smartphone browsers. maybe some of you who have these Phones/PDAs can send me some screenshot (it would be very helpful).

NEW mobile theme: WPtouch iPhone Theme (By Dale Mugford & Duane Storey)
OLD mobile theme: Wordpress PDA & iPhone (By Imthiaz Rafiq)

Dont’ get me wrong, i still like the old plugin which I am using. its looks great for both mobile safari and mobile IE. i just like the new feel.

Upgrading Firmware iPhone 3.0 (for 2nd Gen)

Im now downloading the upgrade for my iPhone 3G (not S, yet). I dont mind my phone to be “un-jailbreaked” again. I just want to try MMS and some other features the 3.0 offers.

But based from the DevTeam, the old quickpwn/pwnage will still work. I just want to be on the safe side and wait for any bugs to be sorted out.

There are rumors circulating around that the next gen iPhone will be out this year (July 17th). Hmmmm, too bad for people like me who are still locked on my 2nd Gen iPhone for 1 and 1/2 year (Globe Telecom). I guess, next time i’ll get the “plan-free” package (if my wife lets me)…. or i buy one and just hide it from her.

Some features worth mentioning:

  • 32GB and 16GB storage (up from the current 16GB and 8GB models)
  • $199 and $299 price points to be maintained
  • 3.2-megapixel camera (up from the current 2-megapixel camera)
  • Video-recording and editing capabilities
  • Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
  • Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
  • OLED screen
  • 1.5 times the battery life of the current models
  • Double the RAM and processing power
  • Built-in FM transmitter
  • Apple logo on back will glow
  • Rubber-tread backing
  • Sleeker design
  • Built-in compass
  • The camera, GPS, compass and Google map combined will identify photo and inform about photo locations
  • Turn-by-turn directions

iPhone 3.0 (Copy and Paste)

As per a very reliable web celebrity, Kevin Rose, via Diggnation Convention (i think)… the upcoming iPhone firmware will have the LOOOOOOOOONG awaited copy and paste feature… and to add all the goodies Palm Pre have, will be also included to this 3.0 firmware… Unfortunately as you will hear on the video… it still doesn’t have Video Recording… and i believe still no MMS…. im guessing those 2 features might be considered by apple on its 3rd Gen. ^_^

Update (2009-03-18): Its alot better that I expected. Click here for the CNET review

New iPod Shuffle

Apple just release a sleek upgrade for their iPod shuffle.

My opinion:

  • it has a better look (looks even better when its beside my MacBook)
  • I like the way you can organize your songs by totally ignoring the iPod itself. (since you have all the buttons you need near your face/head). Which is why you can only use Apple Earphones to use this.
  • very handy when you’re out jogging or working out.
  • VoiceOver technology tells you track information over your headphone

iPhone 2.2 (QuickPwn’ed)

UPDATE: I just found this tip on how to add Emoji Icons to your text messages. [Source]

You need to edit the file /User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preferences.plist on the device

Add the following boolean key as ‘true’:
KeyboardEmojiEverywhere

Then merely go to the Keyboards section of the Settings app, hit Japanese, and turn on Emoji. Will work for any text field/view in the OS, including on websites, AND including the titles of items on SpringBoard (e.g. if you save a bookmark to the home screen).
In my case I didn’t find the directory specified. Instead I found it here; /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preferences.plist

———————————————————————-

Just updated my iPhone3G to the latest firmware… and I just use QuickPwn to jailbreak… (why not Pwnage?) I am not after any unlock anyway… Anyway, I was so amazed with how google map’s street view worked (well, unfortunately not here in the Philippines)… I tried searching my grand parent’s house in Boston… and I was actually geek’d out on how accurate it was… it even showed the actual house as if i was standing there… google is one amazing company… (all hail google!!!!)…

They also added an option in preference to turn auto-correction on and off… (no more unofficial patch for that)… ^_^ this is very good addition for me who lives outside the US and most of our text messages are in our own dialect.

Safari also has some new cool improvements… even though it still lacks copy and paste and adobe flash support T_T….
