I waited for a few days after iOS4 public availability to upgrade my 2-years old iPhone 3G. Having a need for some applications only available for jailbreaked phones, I used PwnageTool 4.01 to upgrade and jailbreak at the same time. The restore of my custom IPS image in DFU mode failed with error 1600. To [...]

Blogpress is an iPhone app to post blog entries. With BTstack, a Bluetooth keyboard and a jailbroken iPhone, it’s quite usable for posting on the go.

At least, Apple fixed an annoying issue : the calendar colors of iCal are replicated to the iphone calendar application. But I still miss a week view. Pocket Informant has their iphone version reviewed by Apple, and maybe 3.x will have it. Hope so.

With iTunes storage used to sync and backup the iPhone, disk space was running low on my Macbook Pro 15″. I bought a Samsung SpinPoint M6 320 Go – 5400t/min. – 2.5″ – SATA disk to replace it and went ahead using this nice guide.

Yes, despite the negative reports, I went on to 2.0.2 to try to get better 3G reception in my area. Swisscom says I should have 3G, and I don’t have it. Let’s see… still Egde only. I will have to run around the house to catch the good waves. The next step is to jailbreak [...]

On the Palm, I used Top Secret, with no desktop counterpart (I had no need for one). After a quick market check, I found SplashId, which has many interesting features : multiple mobile platforms (not that I have any intention to ever use Windows Mobile, but Series 60 is nice to have) sync to a [...]

Being a UNIX geek, I thought it would be cool to have a ssh client associated with the VPN client. I found it on http://www.instantcocoa.com/products/pTerm/, but so far, the app isn’t available outside the US : Looks like SSH is still considered as a weapon by the security theater paranoids in the USA.

I don’t know what Apple had in mind when they decided to exclude a To-Do application from the iPhone software set. That a big no-go for me, but luckily, third-party developers have stepped in.
