Update: The sample app is now available! Download it below.
- You will need a buddy with an iPhone and Squidge installed.
- Call your buddy and put them on speaker phone.
- Ensure that you have a Wi-Fi connection, and then launch the Squidge application.
- You will be presented with your contact list. Select your buddy’s iPhone from the contact list.
- That’s it! You are now sending video to our server. Any imagery that your buddy sends to the server should now be displayed on your iPhone.
“A periscope mirror that reflects your iPhone camera image 180°” is recommended. Have fun!
Without a doubt one of the most ingenious iPhone hacks to date… Check out what these clever lads have managed to pull off; it’s MacGyver-type shit. Two iPhones, an intermediate web server to relay compressed video, this yet to be released app, and the Phuckleberry stand (don’t ask, just watch the video) will result in two-way video conferencing. I knew Demolition Man was real!
Sample app on the way…
Next on our list, we’ll be creating an app that will actually let ambitious iPhone users try out the proof of concept. This primarily involves adding a user interface. Check back for this.
Simply awesome. The preliminary hacked together source is available on their blog, I suggest you read the notes concerning that.
And congratulations on conquering Iron Coder live!

Nice, can’t wait until this is public.
I know the iPhone is already hacked and all but this may come in useful at some point anyway. I went to this site and my iPhone froze completely. It wont even shut down. No matter what I do its stuck. I’m afraid to take it to Apple because I dont want the new firmware. If anyone knows any secret shut down methods please post here. My current plan is to just wait till the battery runs out and restart but if it progressively heats up along the way that could become a problem. If anyone wants to risk ruining their iPhone to explore this crash, check it out below.

try holding both the home + power button for a bit. This happened to me once, but it power cycled fine after that.
thanks greg, I just did that. found it on your forum. thanks for the quick help response though! :)
I have about 50 mb of hi res pics of a PS3 original 1.00 motherboard from Japan if you want them btw (assuming you are the same Greg from PS3-Hacks.com)
*whew* recovery method worked (hold down sleep and home buttons for 25 seconds. for me it seemed like it took less time than that actually)
uhh, if you’re sending video over an intermediate server, doesn’t that mean the ppl running the server can view your video whenever they feel like it…?
One of the best ways to take advantage of video conferencing is to have the right equipment. Before getting started with a video meeting, it’s important that you familiarize yourself with the components that you’ll need.
This blog Is very informative , I am really pleased to post my comment on this blog . It helped me with ocean of knowledge so I really belive you will do much better in the future . Good job web master .
The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.
