random news…

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007
  • FaceReviews’ Rodney Rumford reviewed my Gaping Void-app (which already has more than 1.400 users, cool!). I totally agree with his suggestions on how-to improve the app (after all this was a very quick shot and my first attempt on F8). hold tight for a 2.0-relaunch in October, and thx a lot for the review!

  • Presentations is the latest addition to Google’s web-office suite. as Docs & Spreadsheets, the new offering is slim on functionality but shines with collaboration-features (see TechCrunch for screenshots & more).
  • write-ups of the first day at TechCrunch40: TechCrunch, Read/Write-Web pt 1. & pt. 2
  • this Thursday in Vienna: the first installment of “Open Coffee Club Vienna” - a regular (?) hang-out & co-working-space for web-workers @ Ronahi. I’m going to miss out this week, but hope this is going to be regular…

iPhone: entering europe!:)

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

the last few days have been quite exciting for folks who have already or are planning to import an iPhone outside the US (+ US-citizens not willing to enter a 2-year contract with AT&T, of course). [I guess those who know me, may have a certain idea to which group I belong ;)]. on monday, iPhoneSimFree.com (the group who initially got their hack confirmed by Engadget & CNN) reportedly started selling their patch, although not directly to end-customers but through intermediary resellers, which as far as I know, have failed to deliver until now. they better should have done so quicker, since hackers with a more humanitarian approach have set the patch free & open-source in the meantime (ups, there goes another shady business-model). while there are loads of patches & how-to’s spread on the net right now, reliable sources report that the tutorial at iphone.unlock.no offers a detailed step-by-step guide + all necessary download-links. not for the faint-hearted, the free patch involves jailbreaking the iPhone, installing an ssh-server and entering AT-commands on the shell. less tech-savvy users should probably wait another week until a more automated GUI-tool is released. the result: Apple’s iPhone logged in through a SIM-card courtesy of Austrian cell-provider One. voila! :)
