ToughSkin rubberized case for the iPhone 3G
The frenzy surrounding the iPhone sometimes just downright sickens me. But this is not one of those times since I just spotted an absolutely astonishing case or the good old Apple phone that just blew me away with its innovativeness. Called ToughSkin, the all new rugged case for the iPhone 3G features a rubberized case with a rather quirky textured pattern that not only protects your iPhone from accidental bumps and drops but also offers you full access to buttons and controls.

Turkey’s leader mobile operator, Turkcell, has announced that it will bring the iPhone 3G to the country. The official release says that the shiny handset will be available to the operator’s both prepaid and post-paid customers.
Apple gives MobileMe customers another 60 days of service
MobileMe is something of a stain on Apple’s iPhone 3G launch festivities. Having bitten off more than they could chew, Cupertino struggled to get their iPhone 3G fleet activated, iPhones updated, and MobileMe up and running all at the same time. Needless to say, there are MobileMe customers still bitter over their first (for many) experience with Apple’s cloud-based data services.

Apple pushes out Apple iPhone OS 2.0.2 through iTunes
Well that sure was quick. It seems like just an eye-blink ago that Apple released their iPhone 2.0.1 OS for iPhone and iPhone 3G owners looking to get enhanced performance out of their sometimes laggy iPhones. And, following on the iPhone Dev Team’s release of the iPhone 2.0.1 OS-jailbreaking solution, Pwnage Tool 2.0.2, Cupertino has released their latest iPhone OS.
iPhone Dev Team working on restore-less Pwnage Tool - QuickPwn jailbreak without restore
Pwnage Tool is an amazing testament to the iPhone hacking community’s (namely, the Dev Team) ability to crack Cupertino’s code for the betterment of iPhone users worldwide. Unfortunately, the Pwnage Tool jailbreak solution that creates custom iPhone OS packages (ipsw files) requires that you perform a full “Restore” on your iPhone before getting access to your iPhone and iPhone 3G’s file system. In that regard, the Pwnage Tool is a bit of a hassle.
Horrendous telescope blights iPhone 3G’s looks
Brando is a house that has constantly provided us with steady nick-knacks for our gadgets. Sometimes their ventures are stupendous and sometimes (like this one) dreadful. Totally killing the aesthetics of the 3G iPhone, this telescopic lens begs to be ignored. I’d rather take my chances with the 2-megapixel camera than succumb to the 6x zoom offered by this piece. Even the $19 lure fails to attract! To sum it all up, this monstrous protrusion does nothing much for the phone, it’s better to use a good digicam instead.
Gorillapod Go-Go iPhone Stand
