If you own a first or second generation Apple iPhone, your phone will now be capable of recording video without any hacking. Up until now the only way to get video recording on an iPhone or an iPhone 3G was to jailbreak the phone and install software that wasn’t approved by Apple. Thanks to Apple releasing details on the API regarding video capture, official applications can now be made that are compatible with the older phones.

Ustream is one of the first applications that allows video recording officially on older iPhones. Ustream is a video streaming application that is free to download. As well as being able to stream with the software it also has the ability to work as a video recorder too allowing you to capture movies from the camera. [Read more…]

We have heard a few rumours about an iPhone 4 being launched in 2010. One of the rumours started just a few weeks ago when a label called iPhone 3,1 was spotted in some statistics software. When spotted, 3,1 was an unknown designation and I believe this is still the case.

Reports are going around today that say Foxconn have taken an order for the next generation of iPhones, perhaps the iPhone 4. The company already makes the iPhone for Apple, and word from Cupertino said to start preparing the next batch of iPhones. [Read more…]

Etsy user GeekUnique has created a very unique iPhone Dock called the Rock Dock that users a Nintendo NES Controller to sit the iPhone on.

Each NES Controller iPhone Dock is handmade and carved out of a regular controller and has the docking port embedded in to the top of the controller. The regular wire found on NES controllers has been removed and replaced with a USB cable to connect the dock up to a PC allowing full syncing and charging of the iPhone. [Read more…]

Fring is a free application available for a number of phones including the iPhone and has been available for quite a while now. Fring has now received an update that allows the iPhone and S60 phones to make free video calls over wi-fi

Although a step in the right direction, there is a problem as the iPhone only has a rear facing camera, meaning that the person who you are having a video call with wont be able to see you. If you have an S60 phone with a forward facing camera then 2 way video calls are possible. [Read more…]

Recently an iPhone app developer spotted a new iPhone reference number in some analytics software what referred to iPhone 3,1. Currently there are no known phones assigned that reference number. The last Apple [AAPL] phone to launch was the iPhone 3G S that had the reference iPhone2,1. This could potentially mean that Apple are working on a new iPhone that will possibly launch next year.

The Apple iPhone3,1 reference was first spotted just a few months back in the firmware, but this time the information was found available in the wild, so to speak, making it a little more likely that a new phone is on it’s way. [Read more…]

Tesco (the supermarket) have announced that they will soon be selling the iPhone 3G S on their mobile phone network (which is actually O2’s network). Both the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3G S will be made available in stores and online through Tesco Direct in the UK.

As of yet, no exact date has been mentioned although Tesco are gearing up by creating a page where you can register your interest.

The company is known for selling things for less, and hopefully this means a bit more competition in the UK will happen amongst the mobile phone networks. [Read more…]

Cisco have launched a new application for both the iPhone and iPod Touch. The application deals with security threats and provides information to keep your network secure. It is designed for network admins and managers and provides details of potential attacks that could happen on the network they manage.

The application is powered by Security Intelligence Operations that receives information in real-time and then provides the information to those who need to know. [Read more…]

The iPhone has had a few projectors launched for it of which they look quite good. The latest that I came across just today is the HypnosEye that although does it’s job of projecting an image, doesn’t look that good. Looks aside though, the HypnosEye is a simple projector that uses a lens and mirror to project images seen on the screen of your iPhone.

No power supply or batteries are needed as it just reflects what’s on the screen on to a wall. For this reason you need to set the brightness of your iPhone or other player at maximum and switch auto-adjustment off.

Quality isn’t great, but in a dark room you will see a larger image on the wall of what’s on the screen on your phone. [Read more…]

The iPhone app, Google Earth, has received an update that sees a bunch of new features being added to the software. The new software is named Google Earth 2.0 and now provides more integration with your computer that allows you to view maps you create on your computer.

The new integration allows you to use the My Maps website on your computer to look at various trips. When saved, the information is automatically synced to your iPhone allowing you to access needed information while on the move. [Read more…]

The TomTom iPhone application should be getting updated soon, assuming Apple [AAPL] approve it. Included in the update are a number of features which should have been included at launch such as advanced lane guidance and text to speech.

If Apple do approve it, then it will be made available for download soon. [Read more…]

Yesterday saw the launch of the Apple [AAPL] iPhone on to the Orange network in the UK. The launch came as the O2 exclusive contract came to an end. Reports show that launch day went well with Orange shifting over 30,000 units on the first day.

The amount of phones sold sets a record for the Orange network and as O2 have been the only company allowed to sell the iPhone it must make Orange happy that they can now get in on the iPhone.

In the next few months we will see the Vodafone network starting to offer the iPhone in the UK which will also increase competition on the device. Orange was partly criticised recently for being too tight with their unlimited (limited) download of 750MB/month although with iPhone sales hitting a record for Orange it seems that either people do not know about the 750MB limit, or that they are not too fussed.
