Iphone 3G 3.0 OS Jailbreak – Success

Ok, I lived with the 3.0 software for a few days now…and I was missing my jailbroken Iphone something fierce.  The Jailbreak is not unlock, it is merely changing a bit of code in the phone that will allow the phone to download and run software that was not endorsed by Apple Computer.  After all, I own the phone so I should be able to do whatever I want with it…right…right!

jailbreakThe new jailbreak is a bit different.  It use to be called QuickPwn, now that is being retired and the new program to handle the task is called RedSn0w.  Redsn0w takes out all the “baby” steps and gives you a more grown up appearance, no frills type of UI.

I was a bit nervous about the operation at first, since I was wiping out all the info in my phone to perform the task.  But like always, the boys at DevTeam come thru again with a slick and easy solution to the problem (I am sure it was difficult to them, but they make it wasy for me).

In either event, my team and I can continue to do what knowone else can do in the Tampa Real Estate Market, and that is, think way outside the box!

IPhone 3GS not that big a Deal in My Book

Iphone3gsI am a huge advocate of the Iphone and Macs in general.  I use both my Mac and Iphone for my business in Tampa Real Estate.  I saw the presentation put on by Apple regarding the new phone but was more impressed with the Iphone 3.0 os rather than the new hardware.  The new operating system set to be released on Wed June 17 offers push notification, cut and paste, mms, faster overall speed, stereo bluetooth, etc, all available in the current hardware.  The new phone, called the Iphone 3GS, touts a compass, and a better camera, that offers video recording.  There is still no forward facing camera, the ram goes from 16G to 32G, rather than the 8G to 16G in the older model.  The colors are still the same, which surprises me, and the overall design is exactly the same on the outside.

I am sure the new Iphone will do well, but I – am disappointed that if I did get the new Iphone,  noone would be able to tell the difference.
