iPhone Case Giveaway

I was doing a little bit of cleaning on my desk today and I found this iPhone case for 3GS. It was hiding under a pile of papers and other unnecessary documents.

I have absolutely no idea how this case made its way to my desk but since I don't use cases, I figured I'd give it away to one of you. Interested? Here is what you need to do to enter to win this case...

UPDATE: We got our winner! Congrats to Edward Smith (check your Facebook DM). We'll have more giveaways soon, so stay tuned ;)

Best iPhone Proposal Ever

I remember when I proposed to my fiancee almost a year ago. I was nowhere near as creative as Chad was by making this awesome geeky video.

Using the iPhone and iPhone apps only, Chad came up with this video that he managed to get played at his local movie theater, which happened to be the place where he and his fiancee Vy got their first dates. The video started playing and she apparently knew right away what was going on. The rest is history...

Introducing the HiPhone 4G

Ladies and gentlemen, please let me introduce you to the HiPhone 4G... A Chinese knockoff never looked that good! Starting at about $100, the HiPhone 4G is probably as close as you will get to an actual iPhone, while saving you a few hundred bucks in the process.

Wifi, dual SIM, TV, FM radio, dual camera, this thing is the real deal. Not only the hardware looks similar but they also replicated the iPhone iOS (in a much worse way though). Check out the pictures below...

Apple Becomes the Second Largest Company in the World by Market Value

About 4 months ago, Apple made the headlines for surpassing Microsoft in terms of market value. Today, Apple is making the headlines again, this time for becoming the world's second largest company by market value.

Apple's stock went as high as $292.76 today, passing PetroChina to become the second largest stock in the world, right behind Exxon Mobil...

Apple Ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction of Smartphone Makers

Take that Consumer Reports! The iPhone might not have been good enough for you, but it seems to be for JD Power who rated Apple and the iPhone #1 in their 2010 smartphone customer satisfaction study.

For the fourth consecutive year, Apple ranks highest in customer satisfaction among smartphone makers with a score of 800 out of 1,000 points. The iPhone performs particularly well in ease of operation, operating system, features and physical design...

How to Get Game Center on an iPhone 3G

With the release of iOS 4.1 came Game Center, Apple's mobile and social gaming platform. Unfortunately for iPhone 3G owners, Apple decided not to include Game Center on the iPhone 3G. Why did they do that? Probably to prepare iPhone 3G users to the fact that they won't get support from Apple anymore when the next iPhone comes out in 2011.

This being said, I was tipped about Game Center running on an iPhone 3G, and while the results are kinda mixed, it works for sure. Proof is a YouTube video made by Taimur showing Game Center running (a little slow) on a 3G. So how do you get Game Center on an iPhone 3G?

Jailbreak App Lets You Rotate Your iPhone Lockscreen

LSRotator is a new jailbreak app in Cydia that lets you rotate your iPhone lockscreen. Just like it works on your iPad, this tweak lets your iPhone lockscreen rotate according to your device orientation.

If you liked SBRotator, then this app will be a nice addition and will let you use your iPhone in landscape mode on the lockscreen too...

Sn0wBreeze 2 iOS 4.1 Jailbreak is Out

This is not the complete title I wanted to use for this post. I wanted to say something like "Sn0wBreeze is Out - Who Cares?" but I thought it would have been insulting to iH8Sn0w who probably spent hours working on this new jailbreak.

I've never been a big fan of non-official jailbreaks (and by this I mean not endorsed by the Dev Team) because they come with tons of restrictions, and in the end very few people can actually use the jailbreak. So what's up with Sn0wBreeze?

This iPhone App Makes Sure You Never Forget a Wifi Password Again

Wifi Passwords is a new jailbreak application that displays all the wifi passwords you have entered on your iPhone when connecting to secure networks.

Let's say you're at your favorite coffee shop. You brought your iPad for the first time and you don't know the wifi password, but you did enter the password on your iPhone before. Well, instead of asking the password to an employee, just launch Wifi Passwords and find out what the password for this coffee shop network is...
