Ripdev has recently released their latest application, this one is a desktop client called InstallerApp. This app seems to be designed as an effort to make it easier for users to get jailbroken apps (such as QIK, uStreamBroadcaster, themes and many more) onto their iPhones. Basically, InstallerApp will still jailbreak your iPhone, but it will

I certainly did not mean to focus my attention today on blogging about jailbroken apps, but that said, there have been a few that are worth mentioning. The latest is called CyDelete and once installed it will allow you to delete jailbroken apps directly from the SpringBoard, just like you can with the official App

It has been at least a few days since the last lawsuit had been filed against Apple, causing a little concern that we may not get to utilize our trusty gavel image anytime soon, but we can put those fears to rest today because we have a brand spankin’ new suit to inform you about. A lawsuit was filed by Affinity Labs in the United States District Court for the eastern District of Texas, Lufkin Division, claiming Apple has violated three of their patents. The first being a patent described as a, “System and Method for Communicating Selected Information to an Electronic Device,” which simply names the App Store as an example of the patent infringement. The second claim alleges that Apple infringes on their patent by, “selling digital audio through the iTunes software application on a personal computer and through the iTunes mobile software application on the iPhone and iPod Touch line of products.” Finally, the third claim alleges infringement by, ” selling digital audio through iTunes to a computer that can then be transferred to an iPod.” The odd thing is, AppleInsider claims that Apple was made aware of the oldest of the patents on March 2007, while the two other patents weren’t granted until October 2008 and February 2009.  It’s hard to comprehend how a patent can be issued years after the product described has already been created by a different company. Affinity Labs is seeking a court order to stop Apple from infringing on its patents and the usual monetary damages.

Wanna know the secret to developing a successful iPhone game? According to Adam Saltsman, creator of iPhone game Wurdle, “quality is largely irrelevant.” The “five second rule” is what really counts. Saltsman notes: “I think the defining thing is how quickly you can describe your product to someone else.” That is to say, the most successful

Apple’s iPhone platform dominated the finalist entries and the prize winners of mobile game awards at the annual Independent Games Festival. The eleventh annual IGF, held in conjunction with the Game Developers Conference 2009 in San Francisco, has focused new attention on the iPhone as the platform of choice for independent mobile game developers, with nearly

Apple and China Unicom may be finally bringing the long going battle to get the iPhone 3G in China to an end.   TMCnews is reporting via Xinhua News that China Unicom has finally confirmed that they will be launching the iPhone on their network on May 17th. This news would coincide with earlier reports that a Shanghai branch of China Unicom posted iPhone information on their site, but wouldn’t confirm that the device would be available for sale.  A spokesperson for China Unicom’s headquarters said they were unsure why the information was posted, but also said that the regional branches operated fairly independently. China Unicom, along with the world’s largest mobile carrier China Mobile, have been negotiating with Apple for nearly 20 months to get the iPhone in China.  Talks have broken down for various reasons, including revenue sharing and control of the App Store.  It has been a long, hard struggle for all companies involved and it would be a relief to finally see it all come to a happy ending. So, is this it?  We can’t be certain, but time will tell.  According to the latest report, China Unicom will be officially starting their trial operation of commercial 3G service on May 17th, the same day they intend to launch the iPhone 3G.  Mark your calendars.
