Skyfire!! Hottest App!

Wondering what Skyfire is? It is one of the hottest App that hit the market as of 4th Nov 2010!



Well, if you have an iPhone (or Android), you'll probably notice that Safari does NOT play Flash videos. What a loser, so here comes Skyfire to the rescue! (Apple probably did that on purpose!)

Anyhow, Skyfire is a browser which promises to play all those flash videos and applications on your mobile! Huge leap for mankind!

Even more new stuff with iPhone 3Gs firmware 4.0

This is the "New" camera feature one the iPhone 3Gs, firmware 4.0. The camera now has a built in digital zoom feature, allowing you to take pictures at quite the distance.
Provided you have enough light and a steady hand. What the 3Gs still lacks is a flash, so its not useful in the dark at all! And no, it does not work for the video!

To activate feature, go to the camera and tap on the camera screen. The little bar will appear and you can touch the plus or minus sign to zoom in and zoom out respectively. Neat.
Next is this peculiar little bar at the bottom. This bar can appear at any menu or application.
If you slide over the bar, it changes to show everything in your menu.
To activate, double depress the home button and this bar will appear. To exit, simply slide downwards to close the bar.

iPhone 3Gs Firmware 4.0

Sick of this view on your 3Gs? Jailbroken but lost your warranty? No more worries!

Wohooo. Firmware 4.0 is a visual leap. Otherwise its just another Apple hot air. But so what? Its cool.

Here are the new feature on the iPhone firmware 4.0:

The most interesting one is the wall paper feature. I guess Apple got so annoyed at people jailbreaking just because of the hideous black background.

Now, you can select your wall paper from your library!
Here is how the wall paper looks like on screen.
Notices that the bottom bar resembles more of Macs than the original layout. Wonder when will they put the same feature of the Mac's bottom bar into the iPhone.
Next, there are sub groups. For example, the calculator, clock, compass and voice memos are grouped under utilities. Further more, one can group objects into groups.

To do this, just hold on the screen and drag one icon onto another. A new group will appear and you can drag icons into the group. To rename just hold on to any icon, touch the group and you will be able to enter your own group name.
Kinda pointless, but i guess it saves some space from pages and pages of apps.

So what other things are new with firmware 4.0?

Apart from the features posted earlier, the response for the main screen is faster than before. Also, many of the icons and transitions were animated when you transition from one screen to the next.

Another prominent feature is the addition of iTunes into the main menu. This way, you can buy the entire iTunes directory rather than just applications like before!
One thing removed in firmware4.0 is the Wi-Fi Short-cut in the main menu! Noo!! Firmware 3.x had easy access to Wi-fi and an extra one in the setting page. Now, Wi-fi is only on the settings page. =(

Overall, the most prominent feature is the wall paper. It has been long overdue. The next important one is making the iPhone 3Gs tad much faster than before. Wi-fi connects even faster and the time it takes to change from one screen to another is now 0.5 seconds from 0.8 seconds...


Other Features Apple should consider:
Mass delete of photos
Using your iPhone as a USB sick without exposing the root directory and safety

Unlocking iPhone 3Gs

Wonder why I was so dumb before this. It was kinda easy unlocking your iPhone 3Gs!

First off, this applies only to Optus Australia, but it should be a process similar to other countries as well.

Anyway, all you have to do is call Optus, or your service provider and tell them that you want to unlock your phone. Wonder why don't they just give if to you unlocked??

Call them at 133 343

Anyway, there will be minutes of long silences, some routing through to India (they make so that you speak to a recording, but in actual fact, your call went to India!) In the end, it is even easier than before.

Just give them some verification and they will check your payment patterns. After that its just a matter of restoring your iPhone using iTunes and viola! Unlocked!
