We recently spoke with Maskim Rogov, president of Nullriver Software. His development team created the software — Installer.app — that represents a tipping point of sorts for native, binary applications that run on the iPhone. The program installs itself on iPhones via a graphical Mac OS X program that deprecates previously necessary, multi-step Terminal routines. […]

Ambrosia Software has released iToner, a Mac OS X tool that allows you to transfer custom ringtones for your iPhone - without modifying, hacking or having to reset your iPhone. You drag and drop MP3 or AAC audio files on iToner’s window, click the Sync button, and the items are automatically moved into the iPhone’s […]

Today a beautiful little present appeared in Installer.app (the best method for finding and installing native iPhone applications): a Dock for the iPhone. Dubbed, appropriately “Dock,” the modification swaps the bottom four icons on the iPhone’s “SpringBoard (the home screen) for an application launcher that can be slid back and forth to reveal a much […]

Earlier today we noted that while successful hardware-based iPhone unlocks are taking place all over the world (Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Germany, etc), some users are apparently doing damage to their units that will almost certainly not be covered under Apple’s warranty. One commonly reported issue is the loss of Bluetooth and or Wi-Fi connectivity. Other, […]

If you experience an issue where the iPhone suddenly refuses to deliver audio through the earpiece (you can’t hear phone calls, speaker not working, earpiece not working), only delivering audio when the speakerphone option is turned on, or an issue where no audio is delivered through headphones or the Apple stereo headset, there is a […]

Users are also having success with an alternative unlock process that allegedly needs […]

Today iPhone Atlas joins the CNET family of technology sites. For more, see remarks on our sister site, MacFixIt.

Add this to the still small but burgeoning group of useful, native iPhone applications. One frequently lamented iPhone omission is the inability to synchronize media with two separate computers, containing two separate iTunes libraries. If you already have iTunes media (music, video) synchronized from one computer, hooking the iPhone up to another computer will only […]

DLO has introduced a new OpenFM scanner optimized for the iPhone. The site allows you to quickly scan for FM frequencies that are not occupied by any (significant) broadcast. It comes in handy when used in conjunction with FM transmitters that broadcast a signal to your car’s radio antenna carrying music and other audio from […]

AT&T has sent a new survey to some iPhone customers that asks some interesting questions about functionality and usage.

One query asks what currently non-existent iPhone features users would most desire. It then proceeds to list some of the most discussed missing features on the iPhone, including corporate email support, 3G (network support), GPS, Picture Messaging […]
