A good deal of bloggers predict that the future of social networking lies not in what’s offered via computers, but rather how things are offered via mobile phones. Recently, social networks made exclusively for mobiles have started to form up, with the aim of linking people nearby in a way that Myspace and Facebook couldn’t do well (Until recently, anyway.) One of those new networks is iFob, which tries to link people at the same hotspot together. iFob’s original incarnation was as a Jailbroken app for Installer. Back then, I thought little of it since the people I knew were unwilling to jailbreak their iPhones, and I didn’t think the mainstream was different. Now that it’s a legit app, though, I decided to give... [Read more]

As some of you may have noticed, the iPhone allows you to sync up your apps within iTunes, so this way, any app you download via the iPhone will immediately be available to you in the event of a problem. Unfortunately, this presents a bit of an issue when you want to delete an application from the iPhone…. Recently, I was tooling around with a quasi-social networking app for the iPhone, and after three straight days of trying to get it to act decently, It just kept messing up. (And yes, you will be seeing a review of this former Installer-based app soon.) So I deleted it. But then, when I synced my iPhone, I noticed that it made an appearance again! See, whenever you decide to delete an app from the iPhone, it gets deleted, but then when... [Read more]

Based on a conversation I had with another person about my last few posts on iPhone 24-7, I have this suspicion that one reason the mainstream population doesn’t take full advantage of the iPhone’s power. One of those possible ways involves the process known as Jailbreaking your iPhone. Jailbreaking means to allow specific programs or websites to hack into your iPhone (In a good way.) It was originally coined due to the idea that Apple initially “jailed” the iPhone by keeping it closed off to third-party developers (and in a way, they still have.) The hack was made in order to allow a program called Installer.app to appear on your iPhone. Installer.app’s purpose is to allow the installation and regulation of Third-party... [Read more]

Blendtec decides to blend the iPhone 3G….ends up looking like the same post they did with the original iPhone…sorry Blendtec, but snap it up a bit! [Read more]

Electronic Arts recently released a version of the legendary game Tetris for the iPhone, readily available in the App Store. However, it also seems to be getting bad reviews, but nor for the reason that you would thing. The real culprit is the price of the app, which is a bit disheatening: At $9.99, it’s not cheap. At least, not for something as universal as Tetris. Just about every computer, every videogame console, every cell phone, hell, ANYTHING ELECTRONIC has always had some form of the game Tetris available, so it is to be expected that Tetris would be offered for the iPhone. However, considering the fact that Tetris is so universal, it’s kind of hard to justify the high price. At least with Tetris DS, you got different types... [Read more]
