How to Jailbrake your iPhone

There are many free tools available to do it. Here there are some third-apps:

iNdependence, http://code.google.com/p/independence/ (v1.0.0–1.1.3)
iNdependence is a utility for Mac OS X that performs jailbreak, activation, SSH installation, and even installation of ringtones, wallpaper, and third-party applications on the iPhone.

AppSnapp, http://www.jailbreakme.com (v1.1.1 only)
Users running version 1.1.1 of the iPhone firmware can navigate to this web site using their iPhone and have the entire jailbreak process performed remotely. AppSnapp takes advantage of a vulnerability in one of the iPhone’s image libraries to break into the phone. What’s cool about this site is that it not only jailbreaks your phone, but it also fixes the vulnerability so that nobody else can maliciously take advantage of the phone. Version 1.1.1 and later of AppSnapp also patch the iPhone software to allow third-party applications, and installs AppTapp, the NullRiver installer, which can then be used to stage your iPhone for development.

AppTapp, http://iphone.nullriver.com (v1.0.0–1.0.2)
Allows you to install any application on your iPhone that is included in their repository using a few easy taps. The installer software itself works with most versions of the iPhone software, but the installer’s installer (if that makes sense) is capable only of jailbreaking iPhone firmware v1.0.x. AppTapp doesn’t work with v1.1.1 firmware.

ZiPhone, http://www.ziphone.org (v1.0.0-v1.1.3)
ZiPhone is a jailbreak technique developed by the iPhone Dev Team. It was kept under a heavy shroud of secrecy in anticipation of the Apple SDK, but it was eventually leaked by one of the dev team’s former members. ZiPhone has since been developed beyond a simple jailbreak technique and many other utilities have been added to it, including a full unlock for all iPhones up to OTB (Out-of-the-Box) v1.1.3

How convert movies to iPhone?

At moment many tools are available for free on the Internet, that compress video and audio to viability watch movies with iPhone, at the moment the iPhone accept two basic video formats:  MPEG-4 (.mp4 and .m4v)

Follow some applications to do it:

The first tool is iTunes, is much simple to convert movies using it, but in some cases, the conversion is mighty slow. Simply select a file from your video list, right-click it, and choose “Convert Selection for iPod” to create an MP4 movie.

The most user-friendly tool I’ve found for ripping a DVD into an MP4 file for the iPod or iPhone is the free Plato DVD to iPod Converter. Simply hit Open, select your DVD location, and hit OK. You’ll have an iPod-ready video before you know it.

An excellent bare-bones option for converting video formats is the slightly confusing Kate’s Video Converter. It includes everything you need to transform video into MP4 or MOV files, but you may have to experiment a bit to find the codec you need

One of the more interesting video converters I’ve seen recently is CinemaForgeLite, a tool for grabbing Web movies from sites like YouTube and transforming them into iPod-ready video files. A simple wizard walks you through the process, or an advanced interface lets you customize settings like frame size and bit rate. It seems to work best on YouTube and major video-sharing sites.

StyleTap announces Palm OS emulator for iPhone

If you are one of the countless people that condemn the iPhone for its inability to emulate the Palm OS, then it may be time for you to take another look at Apple’s wonder device. StyleTap has announced that they plan to bring this capability to the iPhone in the near future, whats more the iPhone runs the Palm OS better than most Palm devices, so this is a very interesting feature to add to the long list of things that the iPhone already excels at.

You will be able to grab the software needed starting in July, when more information is released by StyleTap. When the information comes forward, they will also announce price points, how to get it, and how the software will be marketed. StyleTap also said that they will have members from their team attending WWDC. They will be available for interview, and hopefully a demo.

The question really though is how well does the device’s capacitive touch screen work for the resistive touch driven OS? After all, Palm’s OS was designed for a stylus. Though the smallest parts of the interface may be a little hard to use with your finger, the answer is surprisingly well. Check out the demo video to see the software in action.
