This week, Fring has updated its application in announcing that the latest version allowed calls such as voice over IP on cellular networks, explaining that he relied on a recent decision by Apple. The SDK 3.2, available online after the announcement of the iPad, confirms that it is now possible to design an application taking advantage of voice over IP in 3G. Good news for developers but for users?

The news has indeed been confirmed by Apple. “We have reviewed the conditions of acceptance of our licensing program, in conjunction with the updated SDK for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. This update includes the ability for developers to design applications such as voice over IP using cellular networks “, said this week a spokesman for Apple. Skype, in fact, the market leader in VoIP, said Friday that its iPhone application soon benefit from an update to introduce this new opportunity. For now, the publisher said, however, expect Apple to clarify some points of the terms and conditions associated with SDK 3.2. Once we have received this clarification, Skype will submit its application for approval” on the App Store, the company said.

Officially, the operator remains master of what subscribers can not do. In practice, we have checked with Orange on the latest version of Fring enabled many to move into VoIP calls even when not connected via WiFi, either through a Skype Out account or a SIP client. None of the three French operators can tolerate for now VoIP calls, but for now they are not blocked. The question is whether Orange, Bouygues, SFR and several virtual operators (Virgin, M6 Mobile, etc..) Eventually formally authorize such use. In this case, users have the possibility for each call, whether it is cheaper to use an account of voice over IP or traditional mobile line.

You have succumbed to the charms of the iPad and do not have the patience to wait for its arrival in our country? In this note, it offers a quick tutorial that you will give your iPhone interface almost identical to that of the iPad!

To do this, you will have made the jailbreak your iPhone and have the Cydia installer.

- First, you must install via Cydia, Winterboard application, which allows for memory to customize its interface by preloading themes made by other users.

- Once installed Winterboard, look, always in Cydia, the theme “Simple iPad Theme” and download it. Run Winterboard and load the theme.

- To change the operator logo and replace iPad, download and install the application ‘Makeitmine’.

- Then go get the application shrink, reducing the size of the elements of Springboard, as if your screen resolution is higher. You can make changes in the Settings menu of your iPhone, line shrink. Select 66% for the icon size.

- If you see e-books, follow the download, always on Cydia, the application of Classics, whose interface is very similar to the software built by Apple iBooks to the iPad. Ideally, you can also get on the App Store application for iPhone Kindle and the New York Times, and you can take to Steve Jobs during the keynote on Wednesday!

The video below summarizes the steps necessary for the development of an iPad 3.5 inches ;-)

The next iPhone to 64 GB with Toshiba

64GB, Iphone, Toshiba | Wednesday December 16 2009 3:09 pm | Comments (0)

4, 8, 16 and now 32 GB, the capacity of the iPhone has had since 2007 a geometric progression that we do not see stopping any time soon, especially as the flash memory used in mobile terminals is also growing rapidly. Their price per gigabyte continues to fall, and also making great strides. The latest in date comes from Toshiba, which already powers the current iPhone 3GS. The 64GB chips announced this week they will meet in the coming iPhone and iPod Touch?

64gb

Today, when a device like the iPhone has a capacity of 32 GB, it loads often eight chips of NAND Flash memory of 4 GB each. One limitation to the increase in capacity comes from the space available within the device to store the chips. This is probably one of the reasons that the iPod Touch offers superior capabilities to those of the iPhone: since his bowels are less congested, it is easy to store more Many chip Flash memory.

In his way, Toshiba might solve the problem of handset manufacturers, since the Japanese announces the production of a memory chip, which alone has a capacity of 64 GB one size larger than the traditional chips, this new reference is actually an assembly of chips smaller capacity, combined with the controller they need to operate within a single package. Thus, to put 64GB of memory in a terminal, it is no longer necessary to provide a PCB on which we place 16 memory chips: they are already assembled together within a framework that takes much less space. So there is no miracle behind this ad, but rather an integration effort directed at the production, which can reach densities that are not able to obtain when working with manufacturers of the chips’ unit. These new chips “all in one” Toshiba expected to begin production in the first quarter of 2010. At that time, it is possible to see smartphones offer significant capacity mounted at 64 or 128 GB iPhone and iPod Touch could be part of the lot.
