By now most of our readers are well aware of Apple’s distaste for hacked iPhones. In fact, if they find out that you’ve done it, say bye bye to your precious warranty. So how might one turn this around and make a fool out of the folks in Cupertino? Well, our good friend Dr. Macenstein has spotted a photo of an iPhone taken inside one of Apple’s retail stores. Ironically, this particular iPhone happens to be jail-broken and is running Installer.app.

Remember the Meizu M8, the primary iPhone clone? It’s back, and with a new look and price. It’s ditched the polished metal edge in favor of charcoal matte for a look more like the iPod touch. It’s pricing has been refined and “finalized” at $265 (4GB), $320 (8GB) and $400 (16GB). Best of all, there’s no 2 year contract! Of course, that’s if you don’t mind having the single-touch screen and crappy software.

The “supposed popularity” of the ‘iconic’ iPhone in the world can cause a wave of thefts in the UK once it’s released there on November 9 2007.
According to Jack Wraith, chair of mobile phone trade body the MICAF (Mobile Industry Crime Action Forum) the iPhone “will be one of those ‘nice-to-have items’“. “The industry, along with the police and the government, are concerned they will cause a peak in robberies,” he said.
The statistics show, however, that only 28 per cent of all robberies involving a mobile are targeted specifically the mobile. That’s because a mobile is nicked often just to prevent a victim from reporting a larger theft.
And Mr. Wraith mentions “Often a person is not targeted for their phone, taking it can be as simple as not wanting the victim to have the means to report the theft immediately.” “A huge number of stolen phones are not unblocked or sold on, they are just dumped,” he added.
And although Apple claims to have improved the iPhone’s security and that it is impossible to unlock or unblock an iPhone, that’s clearly not so, and the “iconic” device remains an attractive target of a potential theft.
According to Home Office police statistics a whopping 800,000 people have their phones stolen in Britain each year (that’s out of 60-something million total population).
Unfortunately statistics do not show yet how many of them are “iconic”.

Would you like to stream your iTunes Library to your iPhone? That’s almost what Mike Ter Louw did… except backwards. This cool cat managed to port Firefly Media Server to the iPhone, which shares music in the same way iTunes does. It installs just as most other native applications do, via Installer. Once you have it running, the server shares your iPhone’s music library over the local network. In other words, it looks just like a shared iTunes library on any other computer, making it super easy to share your iPhone library virtually anywhere.
