Want to use your iPhone as just an iPod … here’s how!

I'm not 100% sure why you'd want to do this, but if for some reason you wish to use your iPhone as a very expensive iPod (why not just buy the ipod touch???), then here is a possible solution for you. I say possible since I can only afford an iPod Touch and have not personally tried this out. [+]

iPhone Dev Team posts cryptic message, MobileCrunch posts solution

Leave it to those crazy folks over at iPhone Dev Team posted a fun cryptic message on their blog today under the title "2008?" and it opened the doors for all the 3G unlock speculators on the web. 01110110 01110100 01100001 01100010 01100101 01110010 00100000 00110110 00110001 00110000 00110110 00110000 00110001 00110111 00110100 00100000 A big thanks to MobileCrunch for coming up with a possible solution for the message: ignore 61060174 Does this mean the Dev Team has cracked 2.2?

Recession? What recession? At least if you ask the creator of iFart Mobile

Honestly you know our country is defintely in the economic-crapper if an "application" for the iPhone/iPod Touch called iFart Mobile (selling for 99-cents) is generating upwards of $10,000 a day for the developer. Most interesting is that the developer of the app has been very transparent about his sales numbers during his app's climb in ranking. From a previous blog post: 12/14 - 841 units - #76 overall 12/15 - 1510 units - #39 overall 12/16 - 1797 units [+]

Trying to unlock your G1 Google Phone? No need anymore! (kinda)

It looks like the folks over at Google are smart (who knew!) and will begin offering unlocked G1 Google Phones to developers for the low price of $399 + $25.00 registration fee.

Favorite iPhone / iPod Touch Apps!

Okay, I'll admit it ... I'm addicted to trying out apps in the Apple App store on my iPod Touch. The only catch is that I only download the FREE APPS and the reason for this is I'm frugle stingy waiting for Santa to send me a $50.00 iTunes giftcard so I can finally buy some apps. But that is a different story. Right now I just wanted to let you know about 3 apps [+]

After reading various first-hand accounts of this product from all the CES reports, I knew this was the perfect tech-toy for myself. I managed to score two of them from Sams Club online before they soldout and this surge [+]
