There have been quite a few test and reviews recently comparing RIM’s new ‘iPhone Killer’ vs Apples iPhone 3G. I am not going to get into comparing the two, but will leave that to the likes of Mobile Computing and friends.
Here is the first video from Mobile Computing comparing the iPhone 3G to the BlackBerry Bold on Wifi:
But the trained eye will easily see that the BlackBerry Bold dropped off the wifi network and was running on 3G or Edge there for a while, making the test results faulted. So a user over on TheiPhoneBlog/Crackberry decided to reproduce the test.
And if that wasn’t enough another user decided that since the Bold is so new, and it may still be running an unfinished firmware (whatever) that they will test the iPhone 3G on EDGE and the Bold on Wifi.
I think in either case the Bold was PWNED, they should just stop embarrasing it.
The iPhone 3G is in it’s second wave of taking over the world. Yesterday the Apple iPhone 3G was launched in 21 more countries. Here is a list of the new countries courtesy iLounge:
Romania, India, the Philippines, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, four additional countries will see launches. Latvia and Lithuania will see the device launched on TeliaSonera’s LMT and Omnitel services, respectively, while T-Mobile and Orange will launch the iPhone in Slovakia, and SingTel will begin offering the device in Singapore.
Some reports are in that some carriers are paying actors to staging long lines infront of stores to try and attract customers by making it look like the device is in high demand.
In other news, BusinessWeek claims claims that Apple is ambitiously planning to build 40 million to 45 million iPhone 3Gs in the next 12 months. The iPhone 3G is now being manufatured at about 150,000 units per day, or about 800,000 devices a week. The sharp increase in production is to supply the previously mentioned 21 new countries that the iPhone 3G is now selling in.
MachDice cost $0.99 in the AppsStore and it provides a realistic dice simulator using the accelerometer and touch screen. MachDice is great for Dungeons and Dragons players as it can create many different sided dice. Check out the video before buying, but it is pretty cool
The iPhone Dev Team have released an updated version of their latest iPhone hacking tool for Windows users known as QuickPWN. The new version is still using Poorlad’s GUI. It contains the new bundles for 2.0.2 and also now supports version 2.0 firmware which means you can QuickPwn and jailbreak the device if it is running 2.0, 2.0.1 or 2.0.2. - Sweet!
NB: Using QuickPwn does not update the firmware itself, this tool is designed to ‘Pwn’ (the ability to install future custom non-Apple firmwares) , ‘Jailbreak’ and install Installer or Cydia on a given device. If your device is running 2.0.1 and you QuickPwn it, it’ll still be running 2.0.1, although it will now be Pwned and Jailbroken, similarly if your device is running 2.0.2 and you QuickPwn it, it will then be running 2.0.2 but the device will now be Pwned and Jailbroken. It will also activate (not unlock) devices that are being used outside of their intended territories and cannot be activated using iTunes.
To QuickPwn your device on 2.0.2 on first gen iPhones, simply update your iPhone to 2.0.2 using iTunes and then run QuickPwn. It will jailbreak and activate you iPhone and install either Cydia and/or Installer. It’s still advisable that if you have an iPhone 3G to wait on a new PWNAGE Tool that will not upgrade your baseband as an upgraded baseband may prove to be trouble if ever you wanted to use a software unlock. Mac version of QuickPWN to follow soon
No update on a iPhone 3G unlock - rest assured that they are working hard on one.
