Turn your Iphone into a book reader[download]
Iphone’s ‘coverflow’ is an attractive interface to browse and listen to your music. The same glamor is now being used in the ‘elegant’ ebook reader software ‘Stanza’.
The free application comes pre-loaded with several sources for downloading free or public domain books (including the entire Project Gutenberg library), so you can easily download books like The Art of War, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, or Walden in just a few seconds without spending a dime.
However, if you want to get new books, Stanza also comes with a bookstore with which you can purchase popular new titles as well. The reader itself is fully customizable, so if you don’t like the standard black text on white background look, you can just as easily pick something that suits you. Stanza is a free download for the iPhone or iPod touch.
Stanza – iTunes App Store
iphone 3g unlock software [hack]
The iPhone Dev Team hackers have promised to release the iPhone 3G software unlocking utility, called yellowsn0w on the eve of new year (today).
A few details from the iPhone Dev Team blog:
-We have been working hard on a few other things. The main one being the 3G unlock codenamed “yellowsn0w”. This is now completed and is currently being packaged into a user-friendly application with the simplicity that you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter.
-The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
-This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier, we did warn you.
-You can tell what version baseband you have by going to Settings->General->About->Modem Firmware
-The unlock requires a jailbroken 3G iPhone. It’ll be installable via Cydia and so it doesn’t matter if you have a Mac or PC.
-Please refrain from updating your baseband, regardless of what version you’re at.
-We’ll have complete directions on New Year’s Eve.
-We’ll stream a live demo of the unlock before Christmas
