iPhone 4 FaceTime video call over 3G is now possible

FaceTime feature gives users the possibility to make  voice calls. Apple restricted this feature to Wi-Fi only. Today it became possible to use it over 3G!

iPhone 4 FaceTime video call over 3G is now possible (facetime 3g 235x400)

Setup Instructions:

  1. Jailbreak your iPhone 4 via www.jailbreakme.com.
  2. Download and upgrade to the latest Cydia package.
  3. Open Cydia, Go to Manage then Sources.
  4. Click Sources, Edit then add: http://apt.modmyi.com
  5. Search for “My3G” — download, and install it. It costs $2.79. My3G makes Apps believe that they are on WiFi instead of 3G.
  6. Go through the Rock setup process with a username and password. Open My3G and leave all settings on the default.
  7. FaceTime should now work over 3G! — Make sure to “Forget” the WiFi network you are on (via iOS settings) if you want to test it.

We haven’t seen any difference between the 3G FaceTime call and a WiFi FaceTime call. The quality is very good.

Here’s a video demo:

iPhone 4 will be used to make porn

iPhone 4 will be used to make porn (iphone4 porn)

Invent the newest gadget and the porn industry will find a way to cash in. Associated Press reports:

When Apple Inc. launched the iPhone 4 and its FaceTime video conference feature, it didn’t take long for adult-entertainment companies to develop video-sex chat services and start hiring workers through Craigslist.

On the photograph above, taken July 21, 2010, adult film star Teagan Presley poses with her iPhone 4 in Atlanta. Presley is experimenting with Apple’s FaceTime feature.

We all remember how Steve Jobs talked about iPhone’s and iPad’s “freedom from porn” in email conversation. It looks like in real life FaceTime and new iPhone 4 will push forward porn industry.

HowTo speed up your iOS 4 on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G

HowTo speed up your iOS 4 on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (speedup iphone3g 400x241)

iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G work a bit slow with iOS 4. The video below shows a nice trick that will put the speed back in your device. You need to go do Settings and deselect Spotlight.

On iPod Touch 2G go to Settings – General – Home Button – Spotlight Search. On iPhone 3G go to Settings – General – Spotlight Search. Then uncheck all the searches that you don’t use. This will increase the speed of your device.

This also works on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, however the speed increase is very small there.

Testing performance of all iPhones together: iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4

Testing performance of all iPhones together: iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (2g 3g 3gs 4g)

Here is an interesting video demonstrating an iPhone speed test across all four generations of the smartphone (iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4).

It’s fantastic to see how far the speed of the iPhone has advanced. As you’d expect, the iPhone 4 is obviously the fastest, closely followed by the iPhone 3GS. Interestingly, the difference between the 3GS and 3G is pretty big, as is the difference between the iPhone 3G and the first-gen handset.

Saurik talks about the iPhone jailbreak

Jay Freeman, better known as Saurik, the creator of Cydia, was interviewed by the home radio Make It Work. He speaks about the history and the future of the iPhone jailbreak.

Saurik talks about the iPhone jailbreak (saurik interview 400x222)

Saurik describes the origins of Jailbreak and Unlock for the very first model of the iPhone. Jay explains that initially there were two important things to do with the iPhone 2G -- to use other carrier than AT&T and to install any application.

He continues discussing the main applications from Cydia. Cycorder was the first to allow video recording, and Winterboard was the only one that allowed users to change the graphical interface of the iPhone. He also speaks about Comex, the hacker who is currently working with the Dev Team for releasing and Unlock for the iPhone 4. According to Saurik the tool is still not ready to be released to the public due to severe bugs in the code. Here the second part:

iOS4 vs. WP7 in Browser Speed Test

This week developers started receiving Microsoft’s test units, which will allow them to test the performance of their apps for WP7 instead of using an emulator. The test smartphones are produced by Samsung and LG and have a Technical Preview version of Windows Phone 7, and guys at NewsGeek decided to compare its browser speed with iPhone 3GS’ that runs on iOS 4.

Since the difference in speed is so huge it is noted that both of the phones used 3G network (not Wi-Fi) and iPhone 3GS is a completely finished product, while Samsung’s test unit is a prototype with an unfinished OS that is still in development.

Newsgeek also found Internet Explorer in the Windows Phone 7 to be “surprisingly competent and quick” though it was mostly built off of IE7’s desktop version.
