3rd Party Application Brings Video Capture to iPhone

Lots of interesting things came out of this year's recently concluded C-4 developers conference in Chicago. The winning project in C-4's "Iron Coder Live" contest was a video conferencing hack for the Apple iPhone which did something we all knew deep down could be done - brought video capture to the iPhone.

Apple iPhone Unlocked for Use in Europe

Not long after we updated you about a major milestone on the road to an unlocked iPhone, one which brought an unlocked iPhone ever closer, hackers have unlocked the iPhone for use in Europe.

Though this does not appear to be a "true" or "full" unlock, as the method requires the creation of a new SIM card using a SIM card reader/writer, it is also more significant than previous SIM card hacks. This latest achievement has resulted in fully working (with the exception of YouTube and Visual Voicemail in some cases) iPhones operating on European carriers.

So far, users have reported iPhones working in

Hackers Hit Major Milestone in Unlocking the iPhone

The team behind the iPhone Dev Wiki, which has become the foremost camp of hackers attempting to unlock the Apple iPhone, has hit another major milestone in their efforts. The team released news recently that they have successfully extracted the full content of the NOR memory (from the S-Gold2).

Although the Wiki team hasn't released the source code or the dump of the NOR memory at this point, they have released a binary which will allow others to dump the content of their iPhone's NOR memory as well.

Hacked iPhone Making Calls on Telstra Australia

As most everyone knows, hackers are hard at work trying to unlock the iPhone to free it up for use anywhere in the world. Though a lot of progress has been made in getting access to the iPhone for customizations and installation of third party software, getting the iPhone to work with another service provider other than AT&T in the US has been more elusive. Recently, an Australian hacker has gotten his iPhone to make calls using Australian provider Telstra's network.

Though not an unlock, persay, Australian hacker 'ozbimmer' has tricked his iPhone into thinking it is using an AT&T SIM card while actually registering to Telstra's network.

Hacked iPhone Tethers EDGE via WiFi

Mostly because it's relatively not that exciting, we've been a bit lazy in getting this story posted. The other day, via a new third party application called srelay (a SOCKS proxy server), you can now tether your iPhone EDGE connection to your laptop or desktop via WiFi. Yes, it could come in handy in a pinch, but sharing an EDGE connection with a full fledged PC isn't nearly as exciting as it would be if the iPhone were 3G.

Of course, this application and functionality is only available to you if you've hacked your iPhone. Like all other iPhone hacks, you need to start with the jailbreak hack. Once completed, you can then install srelay on your iPhone, set up a direct computer to computer WiFi connection, and off you go. The video below provides a HOWTO and demonstration of the process.
