If this turns out to be true, then this might be the most conclusive evidence of an impending 3G iPhone launch we've seen yet. A blog post at the Chronic Productions Blog writes that firmware 2.0 Beta 5 Network.plist file contains prefrences for 3G networks that can be activated somehow. Screenshot and transcript after the break. |

Many many months ago, we wrote this article teaching you how to upload custom ringtones to your iPhone. That method is now outdated, with most iPhones now on newer firmware versions such as 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 and thus making that tutorial useless. However today, we're going to give you a short 5 step tutorial on how to upload any custom ringtones of any length to your iPhone.
How to put custom ringtones of any length on your 1.1.3 / 1.1.4 iPhone
[1] Download WinSCP or Fugu (or similar program that allows you to access your phone files) and connect to your iPhone through the IP.
[2] Open up the Library/Ringtones folder (1.1.3/1.1.4) or Var/Ringtones (Earlier firmware versions)
[3] Double click your .mp3 file and open it in iTunes. Right click on it and convert to AAC. After it finishes converting, right click on the new file (should be listed above the previous one) and Show in Windows Explorer.
[4] Change the file extension (in Windows Explorer) from .m4a to .m4r
[5] Drag the file into the Ringtones folder and you're done!

Facebook has been testing a new instant messaging service and will be launching it to the public soon, perhaps in the next week.
The service will be built into user’s Facebook pages and allow them to web chat with their Facebook friends. We’ve also heard that, like Gtalk, it will be built on the Jabber open source platform, allowing users to add the service to many popular Instant messaging clients like Trillian (Windows) and Adium (Mac).
But for iPhone Safari? Will it work? We doubt it - with the lack of any real browser support, it seems that sticking with the 3rd party applications for now is the best choice. |
