Dude, Where Did I Park my car?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Not really talking about the movie (which I thought was so unfunny it turned funny in the end). I am talking about the coolest iPhone application for those of us who do not really have a sense of direction. I personally can’t find my car 95% of the time but now thanks to this cool iPhone application (G-Park), you can park you car, set the application, and then use it to get turn by turn direction to your car. I know. It sounds like a simple task to do but even Garmin touts their newest feature, “Where Am I” which is pretty much the same as what G-Park does. The difference? Garmin costs close to $500 and G-Park costs $0.99!

Apple To Crack Down On iPhone Unlockers!

If you are planning to buy the new 3G iPhone for the sake of hacking and unlocking it, you might want to rethink your strategy. As we reported earlier, iPhone 3G will not be sold online. The main reason for this change of strategy on Apple’s part is to make sure people activate their phones. In fact, Apple doesn’t even allow you to leave the store without buying your service. Now, sources are reporting that Apple will penalize people who do not activate their phones within 30 days of their purchase.

Does this all mean that you cannot unlock the new iPhones? Not really. It’s just that it will be much more expensive to do so now. But hey. If you can unlock the phone and sell it for profit (after you take out the penalty fees and …) then maybe it’s worth doing this.

The latest rumor is that O2 is prepared to test waters with free iPhones to customers who sign up for their premium services. Now we really don’t care about the fact that you end up paying much more in total with these new plans, but the most important thing here is that you get the iPhone for free.

iPhone 2.0 Coming On June 9th?

We all have heard that the new iPhone’s release date is imminent. But it seems June 9th is D date for Apple iPhone fans. That’s when iPhone 2.0 will be released. So if you are holding on to your older iPhones, it may be time to consider selling it on eBay. Of course, if you don’t have an unlocked iPhone, then you may be out of luck.

NetBlender: Will iPhone and Blu-Ray Blend?

NetBlender is an interesting application that allows two way communication with your Blu-Ray player device. You can basically transfer items from you BD player to your iPhone. Here is what the makers say:

NetBlender’s BD Touch technology enhances the capabilities of BD Live by enabling two-way communication with Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch. BD Touch uses the BD Live network connection built into Blu-ray players and the WiFi connection on the iPhone to connect the devices.

The sophisticated UI of the iPhone enables unprecedented user interaction when compared to any other handheld device. BD Touch applications can take advantage of the iPhone’s geo location features, 3D sensors and QWERTY keyboard. Video, audio, text, and player commands can be transferred via the connection.

It seems intriguing to be able to transfer movies, transfer rent queue, and even get movie suggestions with this app. It sounds very cool.
