It’s been a point of contention virtually since the iPhone shipped, and especially since hacking the device (by hacking, in this sense, we mean the addition of third-party native applications via the use of Installer.app or other means) became a mainstream practice: Will the addition of such software and/or modification of the iPhone’s default software [...]

One iPhone feature for which we’ve received a number of requests is the ability to listen to audio from music or videos through Bluetooth headsets — especially stereo headsets like iSkin’s Ceruleans F1 pair. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn’t (yet) have such capability built-in. iPhone Atlas reader Ken Fischer, however, made an interesting discovery: engaging the [...]

We continue to be inundated with reports of problems with iPhone syncing apparent under all versions of iTunes 7.4.x (7.4, 7.4.1 and 7.4.2). To recap, here are some common symptoms:

The iPhone is not recognized by iTunes, never appearing in the left-hand pane

We previously reported that one of the more commonly reported complaints about the iPhone’s SMS scheme is that there’s an artificial limit — 1000 — on the number of text messages that can be stored. In other words, though there may be a significant chunk of free memory on the device, the amount of text [...]

UPDATE: Ben Stahlhood has now created a complete guide to building native iPhone applications using XCode 3.0 under Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Included are instructions for setting up a staging area, creating a mountable iPhone filesystem, installing the toolchain, and finally setting up XCode with a custom iPhone application template. Much of this process [...]

“Many people including me had an unusable voicemail button on [...]

A GPS (global positioning application) for the iPhone has debuted, and though it’s somewhat inaccurate, it works to fulfill one of the most contentious functionality gaps left by Apple, showing — in the iPhone’s Google Maps application — an approximation of exactly where your iPhone is located on the globe.

Dubbed Navizon and available through Installer.app [...]

On the same day that the iPhone launches on the O2 network in the UK — November 9th — it will launch on Germany’s T-Mobile network. Like UK phones, the German version of the device will have access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (not yet available in the US) and Visual Voicemail.

A forthcoming firmware/software update for the iPhone — version 1.1.1 — will add video out capabilities and the ability to turn off EDGE roaming. This information is based on screenshots taken by Engadget UK during the unveiling of the iPhone in England, where demonstration units are already running firmware/software revision 1.1.1.

UK iPhone demo units run updated firmware 1.1.1 with iTunes WiFi store
