While browsing cool applications I've found PocketDyno (AppStore Link). This application measures the performance of the vehicle. It uses internal accelerometer, not GPS. So iPod and old iPhone users can try this application.

With PocketDyno you can measure:

• Estimated horsepower
• 0 to 60 mph and/or 0 to 100 kmh time
• Max G's, velocity, distance, etc
• Imperial or metric results based on locale

I'll definitely try this app today.

Several users have reported problems syncing their iPhones after updating to iTunes 8.0.1. The most common error message is “an unknown error 13014.”

As one reader writes:

“I just downloaded and installed iTunes 8.0.1 on my iMac running 10.5.5, and synced my non-3G iPhone. I immediately received an error message stating that “The phone ‘[my iPhone's name]‘ cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (13014). Thinking I’d probably be able to fix it by resetting the phone, I did so.

Now, 15 minutes into the reset, the phone is syncing nicely with no major issues, except that I’m still getting prompted that it can’t be synced about every 15 seconds or so. It’s even kind enough to queue up the errors so that if I ignore them for a few minutes I can go back and just click ‘OK’ half a dozen times and then go back to whatever I was working on. No idea of the cause, outside of the iTunes upgrade.”

Users are reporting similar issues with the iPod touch.

In some cases, simply restarting the host computer and restarting the iPhone can resolve this issue. In other cases, this procedure is unsuccessful.

The other workaround is to reinstall iTunes. If this doesn't help, uninstall it and install iTunes version 8.0.

Yesterday we wrote about iPhone paper clip stand.

This idea of self-made dock is quite popular. Now what you need are notebook clips 🙂

Firmware 2.2 beta 1 appeared just a day ago. It seems that DevTeam never sleeps 🙂 They published a screenshot of jailbreaked iPhone 2G with this new firmware:

It runs Terminal.app (non-apple application) running on 2.2b1 firmware. Thay say that version 2.2 is still vulnerable to pwnage and quickpwn on everything but iPod Touch 2G.

No news about software unlock for iPhone 3G or jailbreak for iPod Touch 2G.

Congratulations, Windows users. The support for new firmware 2.1 is added. So here is what you can do:

• Support for FW v2.0.1, v2.0.2, v2.1.0
• Jailbreaking and Pwning iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch
• Adding Cydia and Installer
• Replacing boot logos
• Unlocking iPhone 2G

Changes from QuickPwn RC3

• Support for firmware 2.1
• Auto-detection of firmware version, insistence on correct firmware bundle to prevent user epic fail.
• Use of iASign to activate to prevent bspatch epic fail.
• Removed buggy and never really tested 2.0 support

Sorry, no jailbreak for new iPod Touch and no unlock for iPhone 3G.

... Apple iPhone 3G. Congratulations!

The devices that competed against the iPhone 3G were as follows: Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console, Nintendo’s Wii Fit, and B&W’s Zeppelin iPod speakers. All of the products up for this honor were judged in categories including performance, design and value, as well as “cool factor”.
