The iPhone OS 3.0 software update includes lots of new features, one called “Internet tethering”. It mean that you can use your iPhone as a modem to connect to the internet via GPRS or UMTS. My mobile provider O2 has a Internet flat rate for 10 € a month with UMTS speed for the first 200 MB and after this it is throttled to GPRS speed. So I asked in the local shop if it’s legal to use it with my laptop and they told me that it is. So I searched for some information how to set this up, and it’s very easy. Read more…

“Ever wished you could swing your iPhone around like a lightsaber?”

This questions is the start of the description of Lightsaber Unleashed – a must-have application for every geek.

You enable/disable your lightsaber by clicking on the lightsaber, while your iPhone emits sound effects from your phone’s speaker. When you swing around your the sound effect’s too. It’s very funny and for free!

So, I’m looking for someone to duel!

Yesterday I found a nice tool in the appstore: Wordpress

With this program it’s very easy to blog and manage comments from your iPhone.

This post is an example I wrote on my phone and added a screenshot within the app. The JPEG quality could be better, but that’s the price of mobility ;)

Skype auf dem iPhone

Skype auf dem iPhone

Seit heute gibt es auch Skype auf dem iPhone.  Es läßt sich hier im Appstore kostenlos herunterladen. Laut Spiegel Online soll bei den T-Online das Telefonieren in GPRS/UMTS Netz nicht möglich sein.

Auf meinem iPhone klappte die Installtion problemlos. Mit meiner O2-Karte kann ich allerdings auch nicht über GPRS/UMTS Skype Telefonate führen. Im WLAN klappt es aber problemlos.

Da die Anwendung aber offen sein muss um Telefonate empfangen zu können, macht es auf dem iPhone eigentlich nur Sinn um ausgehende Telefonate zu führen oder per Skype zu chatten.
