WARNING THIS IS ONLY FOR BETA TESTERS AND COULD CAUSE YOU TO RESTORE YOUR IPHONE/ITOUCH LOSING DATA

Excited about the recently released Pwnage Tool? But don’t have a mac to Pwn your iPhone on? Well, say hello to WinPwn! You’ll be able to fully pwn your iPhone on your Windows PC. Although, a few features have been disabled until the final version has been released or till the dev feels it’s stable enough for the public. Here is what the dev has to say:

This is winpwn-0.99.1.8BETA. I have disabled 2.0+ support since it’s still buggy. Hopefully with people beta testing i will get all the bugs worked out within a few days and you will get a final release including 2.0+ support. You WILL be able to flash custom ipsw’s made with mac pwnage if you wish to upgrade to 2.0 and can’t wait for final winpwn. For now i have also disabled most of the custom options including the applications (installer is still there) and the unlock base band features. Once i’m happy it’s stable i will enable those features for testing. I will post a more detailed breakdown of how it works (YES THAT IS QEMU) and why i choose to use qemu. You will require the iTunesMobileDevice.dll and you will have to put it inside the winpwn program files dir.
iBooter support has been disabled since i haven’t tested it yet. So you are stuck with iTunes for beta release. NOTE: YOU MAY NEED TO USE REGULAR RECOVERY MODE MANUALLY IF WINPWN DOESN’T DO IT ITSELF.

REMINDER YOUR IPHONE/IPOD MUST BE ON 1.1.4 TO USE WINPWN AND YOU MUST LOAD 1.1.4 TO PWN OR TO BUILD A CUSTOM IPSW

Enjoy!

Countless iPhone apps are released every day; some are useless, some suck, and some kick a supreme amount of ass. Onboard the ass kicking boat is HWPen — the first iPhone handwriting application.

HWPen hooks into the on-screen keyboard, and, well, you guessed it — recognizes your handwriting. It’s currently in the beta stages of development, but no doubt demonstrates true dopeness.

To install:

1. fire up Installer
2. add source: http://iphonecake.com/r.xml
3. browse over to the [iPhone Cake] category
4. install HWPen 1.0 beta

As always, props to Leif for the find.

Leif just sent another interesting news tidbit…

Dubbed BD Touch, the technology aims to leverages the network capabilities of Blu-ray players, meaning that iPhones and iPod touches could soon add to their repertoire the ability to dual as a multimedia remote for supporting Blu-ray players like the PS3.

…

In addition, BD Touch could also serve to funnel movie extras from the PS3 to the iPhone, build an iPhone-based database of a user’s movie collection, and beam iTunes Digital Copy versions of movies from Blu-ray discs to the Apple handhelds.

…

A formal announcement is expected on Thursday.

Cool!

Hot off the presses — Simplify Media Build 949. Several worthwhile updates have made their way into this version; so check it out…

Simplify Media enables access to your music library, and if you have any friends, theirs too — up to 30 of ‘em — wherever Wi-Fi is available.

What’s new?

Album art - this version uses Amazon Web Services to search for a match. In the future we will display the cover art already associated with the file for increased accuracy and rely on Amazon as a fallback.

Artist bios - from last.fm. These user-created bios are distributed under the GNU free document license.

Lyrics - courtesy of lyrics wiki and also user-generated and distributed under the GNU free document license.

Shuffle - select Shuffle from the top of any song list, and the tracks from an album, a genre, an artist or a playlist will be randomized for your enjoyment. It even works with the All Songs list.

Download the Simplify Media iPhone client via Nullriver’s Installer. And grab the server — for Windows or Mac — by following the source link.

It’s here — iPhone DevTeam’s Pwnage…

Mac OS X features:

• iPwner: Pwns your iPhone, the safer jailbreak
• IPSW Builder: Lets you create custom firmware to load to you pwnd phone including unlocking, neutering, custom pictures, activation, and bootloader upgrade/downgrade.
• Bootneuter: A neutered bootloader survives iTunes updates, even updates to 1.2.0 (aka 2.0). Unlike unlocking which requires a new patch for each firmware version, you only need to neuter once.

The “DevTeam” would like to announce the release of the OS X version of the PwnageTool application.

The team (and especially Wizdaz) have been working hard to bring you this release in as short a time as possible.

The plan (4 weeks ago) was to release a Mac tool only. This was decided because of the lack of reliable Mac filesystem tools on Windows, and the fact that the task of porting them would be too time consuming.

With that in mind the genius that is “cmw” stepped up to the plate and offered his services to the DevTeam. He proposed to provide a tool that would give the same functionality and User Interface as the Mac tool.

cmw has done an almost unthinkable task and ported the almost complete Pwnage Tool to Windows in a little under a week, and we would like to thank him for this unbelievable work. He is currently in the final test stages and hopefully this should be finished within the next 24 hours (but even he needs sleep and family time occasionally!) We’ll post a link as soon as the testing has finished.

cmw’s site is at http://www.iphonelinux.org

The Mac tool is available at http://www.iphone-dev.org

Thanks, son of Erik the Red.

Zibri’s rockin’ a new version of ZiPhone…

Current ZiPhone users:

New ZiPhone users:

If you’re looking for a simple software solution to activate, jailbreak, and unlock your iPhone/iPod Touch — download ZiPhone right now. It doesn’t get much easier than this.

The dev team has been using dual-booting to jailbreak the iPhone for several months now, however now that several more advanced techniques have been developed (many of which are still private), I thought it apropos to release this cool hack for those who would like to dual boot multiple versions of the iPhone software (or other OS’s) from their handset. It’s a neat little hack that I think might be useful for developers playing with 1.2, which appears to disable the radio (phone calls).

Cool hack indeed. It’s somewhat of a complex process requiring technical know-how. If you’re unfamiliar or uncomfortable with command line, don’t bother attempting this. Otherwise — go nuts!

Kudos team.
