[DrBilal]

From an old post:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those of you that have the iphone, here are the settings for edge (using edge on mobilink, works great)

Go to settings, general, network, edge then enter the following:

Mobilink - APN: connect.mobilinkworld.com username: guest password: guest

Telenor - APN: 172.18.19.11 UN: telenor PW: telenor

UFone - APN: ufone.internet UN: ufone PW: ufone

any probs then let me know.

If you live outside pakistan and need settings feel free to ask.

Now on to the new stuff:

Im in awe to the amount of stuff shown for the iphone. This is just fu*king brilliant. Let the games begin: (all info from gizmodo)

Apple Reveals SDK:

Today at a town-hall meeting at Apple's Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino, Steve Jobs showed off the iPhone software developer's kit for the first time. There has been a lot of speculation about what the kit would include, and what it specifically wouldn't. Now Steve Jobs says it will have the same APIs and Tools that Apple itself uses to develop iPhone apps. Here are details:

Apple annunces push email, push calanders, activesyc and full exchange support

All the hand-wringing about whether or not the iPhone's suitable for corporate environments is basically being put to rest. It's getting everything a proper drone phone needs: push email, push calendar, push contacts, global address list, Cisco VPN, certificates and identities, WPA2/ 802.1x, security policies, device configuration and Remote Wipe. Plus, the biggie: Exchange support built into the native mail, calendar and contact apps, with on/off toggles for each of them under the Exchange server tab. Nike and Disney (natch) are talking about using the iPhone's corporate ActiveSync support. Will your corporate overlords?

Iphone getting multitouch games (SPORE!!!)




I've got good news and better news. The good news is that the iPhone is getting multitouch games that use the accelerometer and every bell and whistle of the iPhone for controls. The better news? Developers such as EA and Sega are on board. EA is bringing the insanely anticipated game Spore to it. All 18 levels. Yes, this is real. Oh mercy. Sega is also bringing Super Monkey Ball, and the App Store looks like it'll have a bunch of casual games available as well. Does this bring the iPhone up to DS and PSP levels? We'll have to see just how these games look and play, but it's pretty exciting stuff

Apple store exclusive distributer of iphone apps

Today in Cupertino, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would sell iPhone (and iPod touch) applications over App Store, which can be used over-the-air on the iPhone itself, or can be sideloaded via iTunes on a computer. It comes with the 2.0 firmware update. Apple says it's exclusive, meaning it's the only place people will go to get iPhone apps.

Iphone SDK Available Today for free, 99$ to publish

If you want to be an iPhone developer, you can start your twitchy fingers in about an hour, when the SDK will be available for download. It's free, but if you want to publish and distribute your programs through the iTunes App Store (the only way to do so) it'll run you $99 a year. On the bright side, budding programmers, there's a $100,000,000 iFund for developers, totally crushing Android's penny offerings. After that, Apple won't charge you anything to host or credit processing, if your app is free—otherwise they take 30 percent of the price you set

Apple to allow VOIP



If someone develops a VoIP program for the iPhone, Apple will only prevent it from making calls over a cell network to protect poor little AT&T. If you're in a Wi-Fi hotspot, however, go nuts. This opens up a pretty big door for developers to make some sweet programs that'll save you quite a few cell minutes. Basically, it'll allow all iPhone users to have what T Mobile offers with its @Home program but without the monthly fee, at least as soon as someone writes the program. This is gonna be huge

SO much to take in... Damn its a good time to own an iphone and with the SDK now out the possibilites are endless. Ill post updates as they come out.

toooooo gud man tooo gud:d

[DrBilal]

Well i suppose either the iphone owners dont know how HUGE of a deal this all is or ppl are still uneducated to the wonders it contains :P...


iphone + openAL + openGL + accelerometer games (incl spore) + full push features + activesync + full exchange support + voip + OPEN SDK + Cisco VPN + remote wipe + cocoa touch + all the amazing things it already had (too much to mention, but inclds the most advanced mobile os ever made) = RIM, M$, everyone, pwnd..

In 8 months it has destroyed microsoft in marketshare, a company that has been in this game for years and years, and is only behind RIM. Now that full push etc support is out, its time for world domination. For those that still dont like it, well, its your loss. For those that have it, congrats, the next few months are going to revolutionize the mobile phone industry. Get read iphone users, the REAL begining of the iphone is now with all i mentined, the new stuff out in the next weeks, and ofcourse, the unlimited prospects of the sdk thats now in devs hands
.

Just saying, for those that can understand the massive complexity they have overcome defeating windows os based phones, its just "absurd" (in a good way, and ffs, in 8 months with the first phone they have ever made...)

Pls id like no posts of "the iphone sucks" etc or any bs like that, ppl have tried in the past, and ive always proved them wrong, so lets leave this for those that know. Thanks. If you dont like the set, thats fine, ur choice, just dont post useless stuff here. Personally speaking, i would never reccomend ANY tech (and ive gone thru my fair share) more to any of you than the iphone. Ill have a full tutorial up soon of upgrading ANY fw to 1.1.4 in just a few mouse clicks and about 10 mins of ur time, its now that easy.
