Navizon had a great idea providing jailbroken iPhones with an ability to emulate GPS through tower triangulation, but it only gave somewhat accurate information. Partfoundry has developed a working prototype dongle for the jailbroken iPhone that provides real time GPS locationing with an accuracy of 16ft-32ft using the SiRF Star III chip. It’s sleek look definitely goes well with the iPhone. Though the dongle makes the iPhone a bit bigger, it can always be removed and used when needed. The dongle will be available from February 2008 at a respectable $89. Be sure to check the working prototype video after the cut.

Everyday something new comes out for the iPhone. Maybe it’s an app you could care less about, but recently a few iPhone hackers provided a proof of a working iPhone video capture application everybody has been waiting for. While still in beta and very buggy, the application can capture up to 15fps at only a short 5 seconds.

Social Networking website Myspace, has been working on an iPhone optimized version of their page to provide easier access for Myspace addicts users. The mobile iPhone version of Myspace will include optimized profile pages, notification, and touch friendly buttons specifically for the iPhone. I’m sure come SDK time, these companies will be signed with Apple and be allowed to create applications for the iPhone that don’t require Safari.

After an Adobe Support Engineer was asked when the iPhone and iPod touch would support flash on Mobile Safari, a response concluded that the wrong company was being asked. It doesn’t look like an update with Flash is near, but possibly a member of any of the iPhone dev teams can hack it up.
I personally think that Google bought exclusivity of flash video’s for YouTube on the iPhone, taking away any thoughts of flash for Safari on the iPhone, not allowing you to browse other flash video websites other than YouTube. We’ll have to wait and see how this plays out. There is flash somewhere in the iPhone as it’s running the YouTube app, but not being used for Safari. Hopefully Apple has future updates with the iPhone allowing Flash to run with Safari.
