One issue that we continue to address is the iPhone 3G's somewhat dismal battery life. However, not all is lost as there are many backup battery solutions out there. One of my favorite secondary portable charging solutions is the Richard Solo Battery Backup. It was small, extremely portable, and it charged my iPhone 3G with...

Currently the only way to get an iPhone 3G in Canada legitimately is through Rogers, and their newly minted discount carrier, Fido. However, that could soon change as the word on the internetz is that Fido will stop selling the iPhone 3G starting in 2009. According to Kidrock23 from HowardForums, the rumor is that with...

When the iPhone was released almost a year and a half ago, it was a revolutionary phone because it was based on an all out touchscreen that could render the internet just like your computer's browser. Throw in an all out iPod plus multimedia capabilities and Steve Jobs and his team created a winner. Apple...

That was fast, wasn't it? The iPhone Dev Team has once again jailbroken the latest 2.2 firmware! They have released download links available for QuickPwn 2.2 and PwnageTool 2.2 via Bit Torrent. There is no support for the 2G iPod Touch as the Dev Team is concentrating their efforts on the iPhone 3G software unlock...

For the past week or so, I've experienced a very strange phenomenon with my iPhone 3G on Rogers. A couple nights ago I received the "new voicemail" indicator sound/buzz and it took me by surprise. Why? Well, because I didn't hear nor receive an incoming call prior! At first I thought I was crazy. But...

Low and behold, the Dev Team has quickly responded to the latest 2.2 firmware update released just a few hours ago. Here's what they had to say (we were predicting the following anyways right?) about the latest firmware update in conjunction with the upcoming 3G software unlock: We can confirm that this update SHOULD NOT...

iPhone 2.2 firmware is now available to download via iTunes! It seems as though the rumored predictions of 2.2 coming out on the 21st were partially correct because the release came out around 10:30PM PST (but it would be 1:30AM EST, November 21st). What's included in this firmware update? Well, no big surprises here folks...

I can slowly taste the iPhone 3G unlock in the air. We've been posting updates about the iPhone 3G software unlock for a while now. First the team managed to crack the baseband, and recently told us to hold off on updating to 2.2 firmware when its release comes on November 21st (rumored). Well, more...

Yes, you read that correctly. At first what I thought was an isolated incident, it now appears that others are also experiencing the same problem. Just what am I talking about? Well, updating Community Sources in Installer caused my iPhone 3G to freeze and end up in a continuous Apple logo reboot loop. The Story...

When I first posted about Google's iPhone Mobile App getting an update to include voice recognition last Friday I got us all excited for no reason. Why? Well, that's because the update never came until late yesterday evening (rumor was that it was Apple's fault for the delay and Apple says it was Google's fault--go...

Last week we talked about the upcoming iPhone 2.2 firmware coming our way on November 21st. As for the actual release date we'll have to wait to see if it comes true or not. However, since the update has not been released yet the iPhone Dev Team has some interesting news for those eagerly awaiting...

iPhoneinCanada.ca has garnered some media attention in the past during the whole "OMG, the iPhone 3G is coming to Canada!!" hoopla. First we were interviewed by Global BCTV, then featured on Global National, interviewed by 24, and was Z95.3 FM's "voice" on the ground on July 11th. I also ended up doing a few other...
