iPhone Edges Closer To Business Use - iPhone news

Surprisingly, the competition for the Documents To Go iPhone app may come from Microsoft themselves, who confirmed at this week's PDC event that their new Office Web Applications suite will be available as a technical preview by year end. According to Microsoft, Office Web apps will work in IE, Firefox, and Safari browsers. We're hoping that means iPhone's Safari browser, but we won't know until testing begins.

Until then, something like a Documents To Go iPhone app could push the iPhone even closer to enterprise adoption, especially considering that the phone now works with Microsoft Exchange Server. Currently, Office files arriving as email attachments can be viewed on the iPhone, but making changes to those files is not possible. Providing editing tools may be the final step towards getting the iPhone past the barriers of I.T., where there are still holdouts claiming the iPhone isn't a business-ready device.

Try to unlock iphone

hey so i bought an iphone recently and it came with the 2.0 firm ware i followed instructions to downgrade it and i am now at 1.1.4 so far i have used: Ziphone, iLiberty+ to unlock it and both applications run fine but when i insert my tmobile sim card it does not show any signal or anything the phone works fine but it does not show the phone is on any sort of network. please help i am stumped.

ZiPhone 2.2 on the Mac

Could I have gone straight to 1.1.3? Possibly, but being a cautious fellow, I did both. The firmware downloads comes straight from Apple。

Zibri's site has links to download his command-line utility, along with a GUI version for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard - but not earlier versions of the OS. I downloaded it and, having quit iTunes and its Helper application, ran it.

My iPhone's an older model, so I couldn't unlock it using ZiPhone, so I just selected the Activation and Jailbreak options. These allow me to use the handset essentially as an iPod and to download and run third-party apps. It did it's stuff and I had a usable iPhone in a few minutes.

Basically, if an iPhone came with 1.1.2 or 1.1.3, it can have ZiPhone activate, jailbreak and unlock it. If it came with 1.0.1, 1.0.2 or 1.1.1, you can only use ZiPhone to activate and jailbreak. You need to check your iPhone's serial number to see which of these two approaches is best - check out the tutorials linked to in this article for more details.

ZiPhone auto-installs the popular Installer app. From that, I selected and installed the BSD Subsystem option - a stack of Unix utilities - and the unlocking tool AnySIM 1.1.3. AnySIM takes a short time to run, which has to be done with the phone in Airplane mode, but when it was finished I had a working, unlocked iPhone connected - coincidentally, since I bought my iPhone in the US - to the O2 network.

ZiPhone and Zibri Vs. iPhone Dev-Elite Vs iJailbreak 0.5.1 blah blah blah “Teams”

The guys at iJailBreak released iJailBreak 0.5.1, an open source jailbreaking solution that allows users to allow third party applications to be run on iPhones. The new version, a 17.9 megabyte download, adds compatibility with version 1.1.4 of the iPhone/iPod touch firmware as well as eight gigabyte iPod touches.

I don’t recommend this method. For instance: ” iPod Touches jailbroken appear to be having issues syncing with iTunes, therefore we don’t recommend jailbreaking them. A version for all iPod Touches should be out soon. “.

It also downgrades your boot loader from 4.6 to 3.9 JUST like ZiPhone, which i do not recommend either. I only write the guides upon request. My 10 cents on ZiPhone:

Yes, it is very easy. It is easier for an average person to now become a ” hacker” but do you know that the software’s creators write this on their troubleshoot page:

OMG!!! My phone broke! what do i do??????
Expect to be ignored. No offense, but the IRC channels get a lot of traffic.

I have fixed 16 devices now. Yes, that were completely perfect before it’s owners experimented with ziphone.

Most importantly ZiPhone software have IMEI changers built into them and this BREAKS FEDERAL LAW!

Zibri, the mastermind behind this software says that it’s only illegal in some countries and that the user should be aware of the risk.

On the other hand, he is the man. All the money hungry iPhone dev team-elite team members are such MONEY HUNGRY _________ (fill in the blank yourself). He released this software, GUI free of charge for everyone. Which is noble and not many members mentioned above would do the same. Hats off to you Zibri and Geo! I’m sorry if I’m forgetting any noble contributors to the iPhone Hacking Community….but if you’re noble you know who you are!
