Firmware 1.1.4 and Ziphone
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I don’t know if Apple is giving up, or if the hackers are getting better and better, but this is following the same hacking curve as that of the psp : the first few firmwares were really hard to hack, and then it got easier, and after it there was nothing to it (at least, [...]
Youtube Activation on iPhone Firmware 1.1.3

www.international-orders.com customer service is no good. In fact, it’s bad.
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007When I ordered my iphone I ordered it from the USA via the site www.international-orders.com.While the actual delivery was speedy, the follow-up was not.
