Now Back to the News:Unlock iPhone, via Hardware?
Author: RaiVon
Now that unlocking the iPhone isn't as impossible as we thought. If you don't want to buy a Turbo Sim. The #iphone.unlock team may have the answer for you (or maybe not) if you want to solder the INSIDES (count me out) of your iPhone and putting some components in to later take them out after you do the actuall unlock process (doesn't sound too bad now)

New iPhone Details
Author: Method2
Well, we have the reviews, BUT here are some facts about the Apple iPhone from engadgetmobile
- The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity. Damn son!
- There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text! WHOA! Big, big mistake.
- No A2DP support. That, friends, is such a huge bummer right there
- Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.
- On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! Noice.
- It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walt, but he doesn't exactly say how.
- Pogue again confirms document file reading -- but not editing -- for PDF, Word, and Excel (only).
- Adobe Flash support is officially out. It's just not in the browser. Neither is there any other kind of embedded video support. Sorry everybody, that's that.
- It will take snaps, but won't record video. How can Apple love YouTube as much as it does and not realize cellphone-shot movies make up a sizeable chunk of the crazy crap you find on there?
- Oh, and no MMS. And sorry, no voice dialing, either.
- Contact groups can't be emailed as contact lists
- Apple sez between 300-400 charges the iPhone will lose battery capacity -- you'll send it in and get the cell replaced for a fee. Meh. We knew this would be the case, but still, meh
- Apple can (and supposedly will) be rolling out periodic updates -- no surprise there.
- Battery life is, somehow, almost as mind-blowingly good as Apple claims for calls, music, and movies.
- As we suspected, users are prompted with lists of WiFi networks if you're not nearby a trusted hotspot. We've seen this on other phones, and we're afraid this would get friggin annoying.
- It's said to be very scratch resistant. The facade both front and rear apparently just doesn't pick up marring like regular iPods do.
- Voice quality is said to be good -- not great
Thanks Engadgetmobile for the great details
iPhone Reviews Galore
Author: Method2
With just a few days until the iphone launch it looks like Apple has let the lucky few who already have an iphone let their reviews out to the open public. David Pogue, Walt Mossberg and USA Today's Edward C. Baig are the first to wipp out these new reviews. They all pretty much agree that the iphone is one of the most "coolest" phones ever to come out, but some the features the iphone are not doing so well at the ones that blow other phones out of the market!
The Bad:
- call quality is only average
- multi-steps to make a call
- no home screen speed dial
- no MMS, IM chat and video recording
- Edge
- No searching in the phonebooks only scrolling
- SOMEWHAT slow internet loading times on edge
Thats enough of the negative lets get into the good stuff
- GREAT web browser
- Mail Client
- Visual Voicemail
- Cover ipod functions
- To the suprise of some the Keyboard is good
- The Battery life was actually up to par about the 8 hour life that apple claimed
Reviews
Read - David Pogue "The iPhone matches most of its hype"
Read - Walter S. Mossberg and Katherine Boehret "Despite its network limitations, the iPhone is a whole new experience and a pleasure to use" (Video Review)
Read - Edward C. Baig "Apple's iPhone isn't perfect, but it's worthy of the hype"
Read - Steven Levy "one of the most hyped consumer products ever comes pretty close to justifying the bombast."

iPhone Dock Revealed
Author: Method2YouTube on iPhone
Author: Method2
The shot above shows how you will be able to boomark your most favorite videos that you seen in an user-friendly display. Just like going on the site it self it is complete with ratings and descriptions and related videos.
Out of the box you will be able to watch youtube videod formated for the
iphone. This youtube viewer should be great for everyone (I know I like the idea already with the big screen). It's a standalone app instead of going through the safari browser as some of you may have thought. Hopefully Apple will keep the new apps comin, there is still room on the screen!
“iPhone delivers the best YouTube mobile experience by far,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Now users can enjoy YouTube wherever they are-on their iPhone, on their Mac or on a widescreen TV in their living room with Apple TV.”
