iFones.Net was created to bring you the latest Apple iPhone News from across the web. After searching daily through my newsfeeds for iPhone news that mattered I decided to bring together the top feeds from across the web in one place updated every half hour.
Expect more Apple iPhone News Feeds to be added in the coming days.
If you would like your feed added send email to feeds@ifones.net
With update to version 1.1 I’d like to introduce you Wikiplaces app — the first and only way to access Wikimapia.org on the go!
Wikimapia is great service with the aim of adding information like title, notes, photos and comments to all interesting locations on Earth. It currently has over 10,000,000 places marked.
Unfortunately its Google Maps-based interface is deadly slow Safari on iPhone. And here WikiPlaces comes to help you. It uses publicly available KML feed from Wikimapia to overlay its objects over standard Google map. You can find very interesting information about places near you and all over the world. Anywhere it will be either helpful or just fun to play with.
Both the paid and free versions of this app do an adequate job of letting you save Web articles for offline reading. But a few flaws keep Read It Later from being a superlative experience.
Dave wrote in asking TiPb how he could email full size, full quality photos from his iPhone 3GS. Sounds simple, right, but by default if you go into Camera Roll choose one or more photos, and then choose Share, the iPhone will crunch the image(s) down to 800×600.
If, however, you use the copy command, then exit, go to email, and use paste to insert the images, the iPhone will keep them at their full 2048×1526 size.
Of course, increased resolution means increased file size, in our test case 816KB vs. 104KB for a single photo, so keep that in mind before trying to attach 10 full res photos and then wondering why it takes forever for the email to send and your buddy’s tiny free-mail account bounces it back for exceeding maximum capacity…
But for people like Dave who just need to get a few, high quality shots off via email, this looks like a great work around.

Just as soon as one rumor has suggested trouble in the relationship between Apple and NVIDIA, a conflicting report now claims that the two are still on good terms.
With the iPhone OS 3.0 update now available, InfoWorld's Galen Gruman revisits his BlackBerry Bold-iPhone 3G showdown to find out what, if anything, has changed.
There has been so much jailbreak/unlock news as of late, it’s enough to make your head spin. So let’s end this week with two more tidbits of news from the community.
The Dev Team has released yet another demo video. This time they are showing off their iPhone 3GS 3.0 ultrasn0w unlock. Please keep in mind for the unlock to work you cannot update to 3.1 — and yes, this includes the 3.1 beta.
It’s pretty well known in the jailbreak community that the Dev Team delayed releasing their iPhone 3GS jailbreak for their own reasons. Well someone else has stepped up to the plate to bring you a iPhone 3GS jailbreak alternative. iPhone original hacker, George Hotz, has released purplera1n which is currently only available to Windows users (not Windows 7 though). Mac users don’t panic, your version is coming soon!
In his latest blog post, not only does George explain the steps you must take to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, he is pretty vocal on why he has decided to release purplera1n to the public.
Normally I don’t make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn’t how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn’t worth waiting because you might have the “last” hole in the iPhone. What last hole…this isn’t golf. I’ll find a new one next week. Also your purplera1nyday files ensure that you can always get back to a jailbroken state, so if you have it it’s just a matter of tools.
Has this brought back to life a heated rivalry? It’s time to sit back, relax, and jailbreak!
And as always, TiPb and staff take no responsibility for any bricking, failures, security risks, etc… that may occur during the jailbreak process. Proceed at your own risk!
[Not iPhone-friendly video -- we know -- please encourage them to post video to YouTube in the future. Thanks to everyone who sent these in!]
