- iPhone Gridgets: Widgets for your iPhone
Filed under: Software, Widget Watch, iPhone
Did you ever want a Dashboard-like launcher for your iPhone? Gridgets is it. It's a beautifully styled application launcher from CulturedCode that works and looks very much like its inspiration. Gridgets remembers which widgets you've chosen to display between your visits. When you return, it looks exactly like you left it the last time you were there.Continue reading iPhone Gridgets: Widgets for your iPhone

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/16/iphone-gridgets-widgets-for-your-iphone/#comments - iUI: iPhone web "app" development bundle
Filed under: Internet Tools, iPhone
With the proliferation of iPhone web "apps" the need has arisen for tools to help build these optimized sites. Fortunately, one of the first such tools has been formally released. Joe Hewett's iUI is a "little JavaScript and CSS bundle... that makes developing iPhone web apps easy." Joe wanted "to turn ordinary standards-based HTML into a polished, usable interface that meets the high standards set by Apple's own native iPhone apps." So with iUI it's easy to get fluid animations, etc. without having to write your own JavaScript.
Apparently the iPhone native Digg interface we recently mentioned was built with an earlier version of iUI. So if you want to put together an iPhone web "app" with some polish, iUI will give you a nice head start (be sure also to check out Joe's introduction).

This weekend, many instability issues associated with the iphoneinterface hacking tool (details to be found online at irc.osx86.hu #iphone) have been resolved. The big "your multigigabyte disk seems to disappear and be replaced by a few megabytes" bug has gone away and the software now supports both getfile and putfile (although, sadly, not removefile). This means that hackers have been able to unlock access to system files, retrieve them, alter them, and put them back. Read on for some of the biggest hacks developed over the weekend.

Filed under: Gaming
Back at WWDC one of the most surprising things was the emphasis on gaming. Well apparently Uncle Steve and Co. were serious as Epic has confirmed that the Xbox 360 mega-hit Gears of War as well as the highly anticipated Unreal Tournament 3 are both coming to the Mac. On a video at Gametrailers.com, Epic VP Mark Rein reveals the news. As the resident 360 maven let me assure you that getting Gears on the Mac should make a lot of Mac gamers happy. There's no word on timing, but with announcements like this there's reason to hope that the future of gaming on Intel Macs looks bright.

Filed under: iPhone
For those of you readers who have been curious, here is the canonical list of carrier logos installed directly on the iPhone. I know we've bandied about a bunch of carrier names here at TUAW. And, yes, it's easy enough for Apple to change its mind as negotiations go on and just do a software update to add or change logos and/or carriers. Leaving all that aside, at this time, the built-in carriers appear to be Cingular/AT&T, T-Mobile, and Vodafone. Each logo appears in two files in /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app, as Default_CARRIER and also FSO_CARRIER using a non-standard png encoding.Permalink | Email this | CommentsКомментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Internet Tools, iPhone
We've already mentioned Telekinesis, the cool app that allows you to control your Mac remotely via iPhone Safari. Now the folks over at Automator.us have put together a package of Mail scripts that gives you remote access to documents on your Mac via Mail.app. Basically, it works just by sending emails to your home computer with various commands. So for instance you can save iPhone photos to iPhoto or post them on an iWeb blog. You can get directory listings from your Mac sent back to you and even request particular files be sent back as attachments. Needless to say this raises some security questions. These rules only work on messages from one particular email address and that include a security code, though that's hardly airtight. Nonetheless, if you want a simple way of retrieving files from your Mac onto your iPhone, the iPhone Mail Rules may be worth a look.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/16/automator-iphone-controlling-your-mac-with-mail-rules/#comments - Is an iPhone unlocking app on the way?
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Hardware, OS, Software, iPhone
According to Computerworld in Singapore, a UK-based company claims to be closing in on an unlocking application for the iPhone, allowing the device to be used on other GSM mobile phone networks such as T-Mobile in the US and many others around the world (alternatively, you can go the contract-free, Wi-Fi iPod route that Erica found). The UK company is Uniquephones and their founder, John McLaughlin, says they have "engineers working around the clock in several countries" to break the system Apple has in place for locking down the iPhone to AT&T.
As far as McLaughlin's team knows, there is at least a two step process to activating an iPhone. Engineers have already been able to circumvent the SIM activation process so another carrier's card can be used, but their attempts to meddle with the iPhone's firmware so it can work on another carrier have failed so far. Surprisingly, DVD John, the Norweigan hacker responsible for cracking the CSS encryption scheme on DVDs, claims to have ventured beyond this barrier, only to return with the bad news that the device can't be used as a phone when activating with anything but an AT&T account.
The Computerworld article cites another side of this coin, however: even if McLaughlin's team is successful, their site and anyone else's could easily be susceptible to legal action from Apple, forcing a take-down of the code and forever binding the iPhone to the carriers Apple choses to partner with. Only time will tell, but I honestly wouldn't blame Apple or AT&T for stopping iPhone unlocking apps in their tracks. While I'm just as unhappy about carrier lock-in as the next guy who would prefer to roam the wireless seas in any direction he choses, Apple and AT&T have still put a tremendous amount of collaborative effort into developing the iPhone (let's not forget the alterations AT&T had to make to their network and software for features like Visual Voicemail), and outside of all the new contract signups, we really aren't sure how else AT&T is getting compensated from this deal. The iPhone is still Apple's product, and they chose to bind it to AT&T's network (for now), and as much as I hate to say it, these companies get to decide how their products are used.
Nevertheless, the race to unlock the iPhone should be an interesting one. Should McLaughlin's team succeed and are able to package an unlocking app for sale, he plans to charge $50 for each slice of the iPhone unlocking pie.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/07/16/is-an-iphone-unlocking-app-on-the-way/#comments - Leaflets: Another well done iPhone portal app
Filed under: Software, Productivity, Internet Tools, iPhone
iPhone apps and portals are cropping up faster than you can say 'made exclusively for Safari,' and Leaflets has just leapt to the front of the line. Offering a streamlined, zippy UI for your iPhone apps, it features some impressive new portals for sites like Newsvine, New York Times and even the new iPhoneiGTD.com portal that allows .Mac users to view their iGTD contexts, projects and tasks right on their iPhone (of course, this requires you to be synching iGTD over .Mac). This is one of the most impressive portals I've seen to date, as it ranks right up at the top of my list alongside Mojits.
Of course, the Leaflets site and virtually all the web apps it aggregates are free to use, evoking the perpetual question of "and your business model is... what again?" Nevertheless, Leaflets features great design with some of the best big and small iPhone apps available. Great work.
