One of the major gripes with the first generation iPhone was the recessed headphone slot. If you wanted to use another set of headphones, you had to buy an adapter. Good thing the iPhone 3G no longer has this problem! Are you using a first gen iPhone? Well Griffin has come up with their 3.5mm...

Eureka! In about a week's time the latest iPhone firmware 2.0 has been cracked and the Pwnage tool was released yesterday by the iPhone Dev Team. This is great news to people who are using first generation iPhones, iPod Touches, and the iPhone 3G. For all the people who aren't hardcore iPhone users and have...

When this blog was launched last December, it catered to people who had unlocked first gen iPhones. Well, now that the iPhone has officially launched in Canada, a new breed of visitors now visit the site--newly minted iPhone 3G owners. There are some pretty neat tricks and tips that some of the non-hardcore iPhone users...

Approximately one week ago, Apple's revolutionary iPhone 3G went on sale in Canada at 8:00AM at the six Rogers Plus locations in Canada. Yours truly, along with hundreds of others flocked like sheep to wait in line for the iPhone 3G. What changed my mind (and a lot of others as well I'm presuming) was...

For those waiting on fence and thinking about whether or not to buy an iPhone 3G, good news is around the corner. As you may have already heard, the iPhone Dev Team has already jailbreaked the iPhone 3G and will be releasing their Pwnage tool later this week. What does this mean to everyday consumers?...

A lot of people have been talking about cases from Griffin lately. Today we're going to take a look at their Wave case, an interlocking polycarbonate case for the first generation iPhone. After testing this out on my first gen iPhone, I have to say it is a very interesting and well made product. Let's...

A lot of people have been emailing and asking about what case to get for their new iPhone 3G. At first I used a silicone case with my first generation iPhone. However, dust would get into the back of the case and ended up scratching my phone! I ended up testing a few more cases,...

Do you ever reminisce back to the days of jailbreaking and 3rd party applications on the first gen iPhone? Whenever I wrote reviews of applications or the top iPhone optimized websites I had to take screenshots. The first program I used was ScreenShot, but then Capture ended up becoming the screenshot program of choice. What...

It's been just over a day since I managed to locate a 3G iPhone in Victoria (after being denied on launch day). I wrote a mini review yesterday, so today I'm going to elaborate about my experience from moving to 3G from the first gen. Overall, I am very happy with the phone and the...

Even after the whole iPhone 3G launch day SNAFU, I managed to nab an 8GB iPhone 3G later on in the day. This was in Victoria where I am here to attend a friend's wedding. On Friday afternoon I called the stores in town to see if any iPhone 3G units were in stock. Most...

Yesterday's iPhone 3G launch in Canada was quite the gong show across the country. Even though the doors opened at 8am, sales came to a sudden halt at--8:05am! The problem was that the iTunes server went down, which made activation impossible. On top of that, the Rogers internal system went down--and stayed down! So that's...

A VERY disappointing day for Rogers, just absolutely EPIC FAIL! Hey guys...okay so I just got home from the Rogers store on Arbutus and Broadway. I got there at 5:45am, a decent hour compared to the guys who showed up Friday night at 5pm! Anyways...I was 57th in line. As for breakfast it was a...
