iPhone Passion

The title is right: you can install Wikipedia on your iPhone. Most articles on Wikipedia are there, in only 2GB of disk space. Sure, there are no pictures(nor other multimedia items), and the navigation is crappy, but after all… it’s Wikipedia on your iPhone, to read and to love whenever you’re offline.
In the author’s words:

What
An offline Wikipedia reader for the iPhone or iPod Touch. I wanted to write an iPhone app over Christmas, and so hacked this together during the break.
Why
It’s the warm fuzzy feeling of having the sum of all human knowledge in your pocket. It’s the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy realised. EDGE is slow; search is slow; you’re abroad, in a plane, a tunnel, or on top of a mountain. You have an iPod Touch.

Here’s the noob’s step-by-step guide on how to install it on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Zibri just announced the release of ZiPhone 3.0, which has lots of great cool features:

New Features:

- No more need of fix nvram!
- Solution for GREYED wifi!
- No need for YouTube Fixes!
- Embedded apps installer!
- Customized plugins !

I just reformatted yesterday my iPhone (using the DFU method) and already spent quite a bit of time reinstalling several cool iPhone apps, but I can’t refrain myself from doing it again, so that I can test ZiPhone 3.0

Congrats to Zibri, and don’t forget to donate him a penny or two, as rewards for his great work.

All you iPhone owners jump for joy!

The amazing team over at cre.ations.net did it at last!

As of today, there’s a complete iPhone jailbreak for firmware 1.1.3 available over at http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/iphone-113-jailbreak-released.
Just for your info, the application the amazing guys at cre.ations.net have created is called iBrickr and has an official website: iBrickr

Now you may be wondering how this jailbreak works. Here’s a breakdown:
- iBrickr grabs the 1.1.3 iPhone firmware image and extracts, decrypts, and decompresses the disk image.
- Then it applies a patch, jailbreaking the disk image and activating it, and also installing Installer.app.
- It uploads this new modified image to the phone, as 113_upgrade_image.bin.
- The “1.1.3 soft upgrade” app flashes the phone with the image and reboots.
- You have a perfect, jailbroken, upgraded 1.1.3 phone, with all your settings and music intact!

All in all, this app is not officially supported by Apple, so be aware that you’ll use it on your own risk.

From Lifehacker we heard about one of the coolest torrents around: apparently you can find the complete archive of Steve Jobs keynotes ever since his return to Apple.
Maybe not as exciting as an action flick, but a nice piece of history to have around. After all…

It’s worth downloading just to see how much Apple has changed and/or innovated in one decade.
