So, a third update to the iPhone called iPhone 3G [S] where s = speed, as if iPhone wasn`t fast enough. Either ways, its coming out June 19th and people are more excited than ever … Why ? here are some reasons to cheer on
So finally you have realized the need for Version Control System. SVN is one of the best Version Control Systems available right now. You want to version control your project but lack the moolah, then the following post will help you choose a free SVN host. There are many available, just one search with “Free SVN Hosting” in google will yield a lot of results. But how would you know which one to choose ? There are a lot of hosts each with unique features, but every one has thier own taste. So here is a compilation of the 3 best free SVN host according to me.
After a lot of hype, Google’s most anticipated iPhone Killer is out. Touching the G1 is no iPhone, but then again, its not always about the touch… its about the appz. So what is it all about ?
In short, the key features are
iPhone started a revolution with its innovative touch screen and best Internet Experience, but the G1 hopes to cross it all. You can get a G1 for $179.99 from T-Mobile. The Android Marketplace has also gone live along with the G1.
Currently from recent hands on reviews, it seems that the G1 doesn`t have a dedicated Video Player. But lots of other information regarding the G1 will come to the surface. As of now, the phone has lot of features compared to the iPhone. Although the market is not yet .. ehmm .. filled up like the iPhone’s AppStore, but hey its just launched. Currently there are close to 40 free apps and paid apps will be coming soon. We can expect a lot of applications in the coming weeks.
I was just surfing through Youtube.com to find a really interesting video. The video is a demo of Google’s upcoming OS for mobiles, i.e AnAndroid powered phone. I did a little more research on what it is all about. I have already posted an article about how Google Crome might end up in Android. You can read it Here.
It seems Google wants to take over the world, Earlier this week Google released its own web browser Chrome. You can Read the previous post for more information. Currently its available for download only in the Windows Platform (Windows XP SP2/Windows Vista). A statement by Google co-founder Sergey Brin has linked Chrome with Google’s upcoming mobile operating system Android. Just in case if you are wondering what is Android, Android is Google’s Open Source Operating System for the mobile phones (just like Microsoft’s Windows Mobile), already the first handset in development by HTC powered by Android is going to roll out in Q4 2008 or early 2009. The handset is named HTC Dream.
Just when I thought Google had done it all, Google proved me wrong once again, this time by launching a web browser ! I was pretty excited to read the latest news – ‘Google Launches Open Source Web Browser – Google Chrome’. Finally Google enters the Browser Battlefield. Click to Download Google Chrome from www.google.com/chrome
There are already lot of browsers available apart from Internet Explorer. Some of them are Mozilla Firefox, Apple’s Safiri, Opera etc. So can Google really take over the ‘Internet Browser’ market as it took over the Internet search market with its search engine ?
Updated : v1.1
Some users have reported that after installing firmware 1.1.4, the phone doesnt detect the SIM. In this case, the baseband has to be reverted back to the old one. So you have to download one more software called KiPhone and 2 extra steps have been added to show how its done i.e Step 5 and Step 6.
You might be wondering, why I am writing a tutorial about Downgrading an iPhone’s firmware, well 3 days back I got an iPhone 2G from a friend. It was running v2.0 firmware. Since v2.0 firmware doesn`t support the good’ol Installer (Installer : An application used to download and install a wide variety of applications packages hosted online. Something similar to Itunes App Store except this is free 
. Ofcourse data transmission charges are applicable as per your network), I decided to downgrade the firmware to 1.1.4 since there are lots of applications available for download on 1.1.4.
Anyways I decided to run a check on google to find the perfect method to downgrade the firmware and what results were quite disappointing. There were millions of methods and barely any of them worked. (I tried quite a few) So this tutorial is for people like me who wasted hours trying to downgrade their iPhone firmwares but don`t have a clue on how to go about it.
So the hype is finally over…After a gruelling wait of 22 days from the first world wide launch of the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G was finally launched in INDIA and some select countries on 23rd August (2nd Worldwide launch). I may be a bit late in informing this news, but this post is more than just a report reporting the launch of the most awaited gadget in India.
iPhone 3G is locked to the 2 of the Country’s major telecom giants viz. Airtel, Vodafone. Both have launched the phone with high speculations and *ahem* very high price ! The iPhone 3G here costs Rs.31000 – 8GB(Black) Model and Rs.36100 – 16GB(Black/White) Model, thats approximately $740 and $860.
