Rumours of Apple iPhone for Ireland

TechnoEssence has received a scoop on the Apple iPhone officially arriving in Ireland. Irish mobile-phone network, o2, has been rumoured to get this deal.

There are reports of monthly tariffs ranging between €35 and €100, with three different plans.

Post your opinions on what people who have imported and unlocked iPhones, and how you feel about not being that one that people will crowd around anymore.

iPhone / iPod Touch Update to 1.1.2 is pointless if coming from 1.1.1 (and even 1.02)

[UPDATE] Reasons to upgrade to 1.1.2 from any version: Lan More…

Okay, okay. Something that was extremely easy already is, well easier. If that’s possible.

For all you guys running v1.1.1 iPod Touch or iPhone, yup your time has come to finally enable (or re-enable) third party applications on your device.

Thanks to the hackers, including:  metasploit, rezn, dinopio, drudge, kroo, pumpkin, davidc, dunham, and NerveGas, we are now able to jailbreak our phones/players to allow us to install 3rd Party Applications without using a computer on a previously untouched device. [[VISIT - JailBreakMe.com]]

For those who have no idea what this means, sorry. You kind of have to know.-Ed

Jailbreak on iPhone (and iPod Touch) v1.1.1 confirmed and sketchy details on fully unlocking

We’ve got a number of tip-offs via e-mail (tips [at] technoessence [dot] com) and it looks like that the iPhone has been jailbreaked, and 3rd party apps are now loadable onto the two devices. Just for clarification, does this mean that it can be unlocked, or have Apple used further security measures?

And reports that the iPhone has indeed been unlocked with v1.1.1 are somewhat true, albeit the fact that it’s supposed to take 5 hours. -Ed
