Steve Wozniak still sporting the jailbroken iPhone

It comes with little surprise that Steve Wozniak is sporting a jailbroken iPhone, after all how can we forget the now classic video of Wozniak jailbreaking Kathy Griffin’s 1.1.1 iPhone. That of course was done in the ‘good old days’ using the once simple process found at jailbreakme.com. Of course, its still nice to see some [...]

Now of course there are lots of holes in this story so far, namely there [...]

USBFever offering to take your $3 for a normally free SIM-eject tool

In what seems like little opportunity for sales, USBFever must have found something that seems to be a mystery to me. Their latest offering is a replacement for something that Apple now includes with the purchase of an iPhone 3G, the SIM card ejector tool.

AT&T to have exclusive rights to the iPhone until 2010?

It looks like some bad news for anyone still holding out hope for seeing the iPhone become officially available with a carrier other than AT&T. The latest reports from USA today are claiming that Apple has agreed to give AT&T exclusive rights to distribute the iPhone until the end of 2009. Randall Stephenson, AT&T’s chairman and [...]

White iPhone 3G’s beginning to crack?

Quite a few images are beginning to show up online showing cracks in the casing of the white iPhone 3G. Of course most of these images are coming with reports that the phone has not been “dropped or pressed” and judging from the amount of reports that are coming in, I tend to believe it. [...]

AT&T officially confirms lack of iPhone 3G availability

Perhaps in an effort to calm the frustrated (potential) customers AT&T has released an official “customer update” to let everyone know that they are simply out of stock. “We’ve seen incredible demand for iPhone 3G since it launched — and subsequently sold out — on July 11.” Of course, they are also quick to remind those same [...]
