Apple today released a statement that said the following:
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple has

iPhone Question: “Unlocking” and “Jailbreaking” the same thing?




(No Ratings Yet)iPhone: New “Pirate” app for TLAPD




(No Ratings Yet)Just in time for “Talk Like a Pirate Day,” a new application was released for the iPhone that lets you snap a picture of a person/thing and let you “piratize” it.

iPhone: Rumor - iUnlock and AppInstaller incompatible




(No Ratings Yet)I received a report from a reader (Nick) that he is having issues with his AppInstaller after installing iUnlock.

(No Ratings Yet)WOAH! I just reloaded my default home page and there is now a yellow message saying “Netvibes goes mobile! Now, you can check your Netvibes page on your mobile phone or your iPhone at the following address: http://m.netvibes.com” and of course I had to see how they implemented it. Well, the quick answer is, AMAZINGLY [...]
iPhone app: ApolloIM version updated to -0.9 with connection persistence




(No Ratings Yet)As mentioned previously, ApolloIM has been updated from version -1 to -0.9 and now includes partial “suspend mode.” I have installed and tested it and it seems to work ok. However, the author clearly notes on his development site that there are some limitations to how well this works. If, for example, your iPhone enters [...]
