Windows Vista on the iPhone!?

Windows will run soon on the iPhone using Citrix Receiver, a remote screen software that connects to a PC and gives you the illusion you are running Microsoft's operating systems, including copy and paste functionality. Why is this useful? It will give you the ability to run full Windows apps in your iPhone over the network. According to Citrix, you will have full Windows capability, including cut and paste inside Windows. And while this is not the first remote screen application available for the iPhone, it is the first one which is actually supported by a big company, which will make corporations happy. [Gizmodo]



This is actually very exciting news. There have been couple of different ways to access your PC from the iPhone already but Citrix is obviously the best. To put in simple words, this is the most featured & the most versatile solution to date.

The irony here is that you get Copy & Paste on your Apple branded iPhone through a Windows Platform, as much as fan boys might hate it, it is the reality, so suck it up & make the most out of your iPhone suckers ;) - Sarwat

First Live iPhone3G unlock, by Dev-Team!

This week’s DevTeam Funday features a live demo of yellowsn0w!

MuscleNerd will use Qik to broadcast a live video and audio stream (from an iPhone 2G) of an iPhone 3G being soft-unlocked with yellowsn0w. He’s in Florida for the holidays so there won’t actually be any snow in the live demo (although strangely enough if he were back home in Los Angeles he’d be very close to snow this week!).

Qik creates a chatroom for its videos but it may not be feasible to field questions live from the chatroom. So if you have a question that hasn’t already been answered in our previous blog posts, please tweet them in advance to Musclenerd.

We’re aiming to do the live demo in about 12 hours, or 3PM EST/9PM CET. The actual URL will be tweeted via MuscleNerd’s twitter account just as it starts. [Dev-Team]

After 5 months of sleepless nights & hard work, the iPhone Dev-Team was able to pull this off, i call it the "i3UNLOCK", Yes, the iPhone 3G has been finally unlocked!

Obviously it has been hardware unlocked before by several different means, including some serious hardware unlocks, but this is what everyone wants, the SOFTWARE UNLOCK. For now enjoy the unlock demo video till its released to the masses end of this month.. Hopefully. - Sarwat

Mobileme does SuperHero Tricks & Rescues a dudes iPhone

Once upon a time, a guy named Rob got his iPhone 3G stolen at the dry cleaners. Thankfully, he was subscribed to MobileMe, which at the end saved the day. Or so he says.

According to Rob, after getting his iPhone stolen he went to the Apple Store to buy a new one. He proceeded to set up it up with MobileMe, the service that allows mails, contacts, and all kinds of data to be synchronized with Apple's servers. The synchronized data is then merged into a database, and then pushed to all the devices set with the same MobileMe account.

This was the key to the case. A day later he noticed something weird in his new iPhone: There were contacts which never were there. He quickly realized what was happening: The dumb thief forgot to wipe out the cellphone, so Rob had the power to identify those contacts—after that, he called them, got the thieve contact information, and told the police, who apprehend the thieve and recovered the iPhone.

Too cool a story to be true? Maybe. Tell us your opinion in the comments. [eBay via TUAW via Gizmodo]

Don't u just love reading stories like this? I cant believe this happened, how unlucky was that thief! There are a number of things that has to all happen & work correctly for all this to work out. Heck, some people even have a hard time getting mobileme or services like mobile me working in the first place. Now this Victim gets 2 iPhones & probably his computer working with mobileme like a charm. For some weird reason i kinda feel pity for that real unlucky thief! really, wont u? - Sarwat
