Just when you thought we were done with the antennagate, a new video from iLounge surfaced, showing that the Verizon iPhone is also affected by an antenna issue. When held in the prior "death grip" position, the Verizon iPhone loses substantial cellular signal, just like we previously saw with GSM iPhone 4.
Additionally, the CDMA iPhone 4 seems to be affected by a loss of wifi signal when held snugly in landscape mode. Both issues seem to be taken care of with the use of a case...
Today, Jules Gabriel Verne is the inspiration behind Google's often changing homepage logo, with a submarine inspired illustration that's fitting considering he was the man behind the novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.
Verne was born on February 8th, 1828, hence the commemoration.
That's nice and all, but the real reason this is news is because of the logo itself. On a desktop browser you'll see that you can manipulate the submarine's scenery by means of a small toggle located on the right-hand side of the logo.
On the iPhone though, it's a whole different story. That's because Google has tapped into the iPhone's accelerometer to allow you to change scenery simply by moving your iPhone...

Gmail's "Priority Inbox" feature has been implemented into Gmail's web app on the iPhone. Priority Inbox is a relatively new feature in Gmail that helps show you the most important emails in your inbox.
Google's Priority Inbox algorithm studies your email habits, and determines which messages deserve your attention first. If you've enabled Priority Inbox in the standard web version of Gmail, the same functionality will now be available in Gmail's iOS web app...
Will Apple announce the iPhone 5 - or whatever its name will be - on June 5? That's what this screenshot taken from the Moscone Center website reveals with the usual "Corporate Meeting" placeholder. Historically, Apple has always held its iPhone announcement in early June, so there is no reason for that to change.
The only oddity is that the event supposedly would start on a Sunday, whereas iPhone announcements happened on Mondays in the past...
Burn the Rope (iTunes Link) was developed by Big Blue Bubble and is a game that presents puzzle solving in a very unique way.
In Burn the Rope you will have a rope that is curled and twisted in many different shapes and sizes. Your goal is to burn as much or all of the rope without the fire flickering out. The accelerometer will primarily act as your controls so be prepared to wave your iPhone like Harry Potter’s wand to keep that fire burning!
iOS 4.2.1 has been released for a while now, and up until this weekend, there wasn't a good and practical jailbreak for it. Sure RedSn0w did the trick but since it was a tethered jailbreak, it wasn't very convenient.
Then came RedSn0w untethered jailbreak, which was better than its predecessor, but still wasn't satisfying to most of us. Finally the Chronic Dev Team updated GreenPois0n, which brings a safe and reliable untethered jailbreak for iPhone iOS 4.2.1...
The guys over at iFixit already got their hands on a Verizon iPhone and took it apart to compare its guts to those of the "original" iPhone 4. Most of what they found wasn't very surprising, but they did make one interesting discovery.
The Verizon iPhone sports a Qualcomm MDM6600 baseband chipset similar to the Droid Pro World Phone's, which brings support for both CDMA and GSM...
According to reports, a few lucky people have already started receiving their pre-ordered Verizon iPhones, which should officially be available to the rest of the US this coming Friday.
Ahead of the official Verizon launch date, the Chronic Dev Team has updated GreenPois0n to jailbreak iOS 4.2.6. We now have a proof that the jailbreak was successful as this picture was released earlier today...
Until now, there was no practical and logical way to attach a picture to an email on your iPhone. You either copy/paste the image, or you can select it in your camera roll, and select it to be shared via email. But what happens if you want to insert a picture in an email you are currently working on?
That's where PhotoMail comes in. With this new jailbreak app, you'll be able to send any photo directly via the Mail.app. Just access to the copy/paste menu, and you'll see a (+) button, from which you'll be able to attach multiple images...
Here is a jailbreak app that will sure make iPhone themers happy. Masks, a new application that lets you quickly and easily customize the look of your wallpaper and icons.
Up until now, the best way to customize your springboard was by using WinterBoard. While a great application, WinterBoard can be a bit cumbersome: you have to search for a theme, download it, activate it in WinterBoard, and respring. Masks takes all that away by bringing to the table a new way to tweak your iPhone springboard...
