There are at least two announced hacks announced that have “unlocked” most aspects of the iPhone to use on another network. The simpler one is the Turbo SIM – which slips over your old SIM card (with some scissoring required) and you are able to use the phone overseas (presumably not the visual voicemail since […]

I found this online utility which allows you to convert an Online Video from ‘YouTube videos’ for example into more popular formats like wmv, mov, mp4, mp3, 3gp etc.  The site is called vConvert.net.  It allows you to convert FLV files to the selected format faster and less lossy than with other typical transcoders. When […]

If you are a fan of Hong Kong vinyl or just weird and wacky things, KidRobot has plenty of items they can sell to you including ring tones! They currently don’t offer tones for all carriers and mfgs of phones but if you are on Cingular (AT&T), T-mobile, or Sprint you might be in luck […]

Not readily apparent – but if you tap on your contact and EDIT (right hand corner), it brings up the contact info AND a place to set a customized ringtone for that contact. Of course, you still have to choose from Apple’s not-so-exciting choices but this way you at least know if you should put […]

ESPN has updated their podcasts for easy access via your iPhone. When you go to ESPN.com, click on the PODCENTER link and if you’re visiting from your iPhone, you should be offered the link on the right hand (above).

While you are now running full speed on your iPhone now, what about making voicemail and phone calls really visual? What about adding those headshots of friends, loved ones, welcomed calls or the dreaded colleagues so when they call, there is a photograph that instantly recalls their presence in your life? Pretty simple. Fire up […]

The iPhone is one of the nicest camera phones out there. I haven’t had any problems with the green tinting that some people have reported – perhaps a software white-balance issue? But hopefully all your photos have been turning out well – and perhaps you’ve wondered how to actually get them off the camera. Of […]

Of course, iTunes will start to look into the iTunes Store for missing artwork as soon as you drag in new music files/tracks. The album artwork it does match up with your tracks are top notch. They are perfectly matched and 99.9% the best version resolution-wise out there. However, it can only find and “fix” […]

As Tizmanian covered a few month back, Google’s MyMaps are customizable. In theory, it should be perfect for the iPhone. Of course, you’re all familiar with Google Maps. You type in a business name, a city or an address and you hit return, in literally seconds, it spans the globe and you a pin placement […]
