It’s been a while since I last reviewed a 3rd party application for the iPhone. Anyways, even though the iPhone 3G is around the corner along with the much anticipated AppStore, the development community is still hard at work. Today we’re going to check out a fun app called iCracks. It’s one of the best ways to prank your iPhone-newbie friends–trust me, this will freak them out!
Once you’ve installed iCracks via Installer, run the program. You’ll come across an image of the default iPhone homescreen. This is where it gets interesting. The moment your friend/colleague/family member/dog touches the screen, it activates a tiny video that makes it look like your iPhone just went AWOL!
**EDIT** Forgot to include the source! Add this source to Installer: http://i.comicmac.com/repo.xml
This app will work best on technophobic people, such as older parents and people who have never seen/used/touched an iPhone before. The application also disables the home button for a minute or two…but within my tests an immediate press of the home button exits the program. Give it a shot!
Watch the following video review to see it in action:
Rogers iPhone 3G Data Plan Update: $30 Unlimited Plan Confirmation
Here’s an update on the rumored iPhone 3G $30 unlimited data plan. I received an email from a Rogers employee that has been undergoing iPhone 3G training. Within the email, it was stated the the $30 unlimited data plan is indeed true, plus MMS will not be available on the Rogers iPhone 3G. Also, applications will stay running if an incoming call is answered. Take these tips with a grain of salt, but so far it looks as though the $30 unlimited plan might be true after all!

I call shenanigans on the supposed Rogers employee confirming the data plan. Third party apps are ended when the calls come in, to prevent issues. Apple stated this, Jobs said it in the keynote. They built a whole push notification system for developers to use so that you don’t need it to be running all the time. I’d be very surprise if Apple’s own developer’s conference was legitimately contradicted by their training manual.
Title is a little misleading. While $30 unlimited sounds highly likely – as you note at the end of the article, I wouldn’t call it confirmed at this point.
So much for the “confirmed” unlimited. Check the forums.
No Confirmed unlimited .

Rogers Wireless will also offer two voice value packs for popular wireless features: a $15 monthly value pack including Caller ID, Who Called, Caller Ring Trax, 2,500 Sent Text Messages and 2,500 Call Forwarding Minutes; and a $20 monthly value pack including Caller ID, Who Called, Caller Ring Trax, 10,000 Sent Text Messages and 6:00 p.m. Early Evening Calling and 2,500 Call Forwarding Minutes.
Ya, clearly not very well confirmed. Rogers announced their plans and $30 unlimited is nowhere near on it. This site has a major issue with confirming sources on stories.
Well, thats it for the iPhone for me. The price on the phone is right, even the length of the plan is fine, but the rates are exorbitant, and they’ve driven this customer away.
Also, confirming a false story?
Priceless.
Yea, I’m seriously considering not getting an iPhone now.
I would have at this price plan with unlimited data. But not for 400MB. Not worth it to be locked into a company like this for 3 years.
Cheers,

I am using Prank Me! iPhone app to make prank calls and this one works pretty fine for me when comparing to the other apps in the same genre. It is having pretty fine user interface while making the calls..
Have a look at it..
