The most successful fix for this issue we’ve seen thus far is as follows:

Restore your iPhone using iTunes, but do not restore custom settings data from the computer-stored backup after the restore process is complete. Do not set up as a new iPhone, and do not restore from backup — just disconnect the iPhone when prompted to make this choice. Note that you’ll temporarily lose text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, etc with this method,.

Try taking a photo — it should properly save to the device.

Connect your iPhone again, and in iTunes, restore your personal information from the backup when prompted.

We previously reported the early emergence of free wireless internet access for iPhone users at Starbucks and possibly other businesses that offer AT&T Wi-Fi services. In locations where access is available, a specially formatted for iPhone website allows you to enter your 10-digit wireless number to gain access.

As we’ve noted before, push (which allows the iPhone to notify you of new mail as soon as it hits your inbox) or frequently checked email can slurp iPhone battery. Under current, public iPhone OS builds (including 1.1.4), users with psuh Yahoo! accounts can navigate to Settings > Mail then select the Yahoo! account and choose “Advanced” and select or deselect the “Use Push Mail” setting.

The new “Fetch New Data” preference in iPhone OS 2.0, 5a274d presumably controls push capabilities for both Exchange and Yahoo! Mail accounts, as well as future Apple or third-party applications that support push.

The graphics changes in particular mean that some under-development applications will need to be re-written to take advantage of the new libraries.

Interetingly, Telecom Italia also claims that it will be shipping the iPhone in Italy. This turn of events would represent a departure from Apple’s prior one-provider-per-country model.

Vodafone previously sought an injunction against T-Mobile, the iPhone’s official carrier in Germany, stating that future sales of mobile phones in Germany with “these kinds of restrictive SIM locks and tariff contracts goes against the interests of consumers.”

Since the program’s inception, KPCB has received more than 1500 applications. Due to the immense activity, KPCB says it’s currently missing the approximate two week deadline mentioned on their website. The delay is wrought in part by a meticulous review of all applications, the firm says. Each submission is reviewed by one of the firm’s partners before being accepted or denied.

We’ve already received a few notes from developers who have been rejected from the fund, but none from those who have been granted access to its coffers. One reader writes:

Jonathan “NerveGas” Zdziarski, iPhone hacker and author of the “iPhone Open Application Development” and an iPhone Forensics Manual for Law Enforcement, has recently posted noted in his blog

“As part of my work on a forensics toolkit for the iPhone, I decided to push my test device to the limits and see whether user data could survive a full restore in iTunes. […] I first deleted any backups of my device and then forced the iPhone into recovery mode. From there, I performed a full restore of my iPhone, ensuring that no backups or syncing was performed. I then performed a basic recovery of the raw disk using the forensic toolkit I put together, and analyzed it. What I discovered was that deleted mail, contacts, and pretty much all of my other personal information was still residing in unallocated space on the device. My personal information safe and sound, and available to anyone with the right skills to recover it.”

“What does this mean? This means that when you do a restore through iTunes, it is only the equivalent of performing a ‘Quick Format’ on your iPhone. All of the personal information that was sitting on the device prior to the restore is still accessible in the unallocated blocks of the iPhone’s NAND memory. To make matters worse, the restore process is likely to restore the original operating system files over the same location as the old ones, meaning very little data is likely to be corrupted at all. Let this be a caution to everyone who sells used iPhones on eBay (or elsewhere) - you are selling your personal data with it.”

We aren’t aware of any clean sweep process that is capable of deleting personal data on the iPhone. Your best bet is to manually delete such data before performing a restore and reselling or servicing the device. Private data stored on the NAND will still be viewable by prying eyes, however.

A call to AT&T resulted in a statement of “no comment” at this time. Starbucks and AT&T previously announced free Wi-Fi on February 11, 2008. If you have access in your area we would like to know about it via info@iphoneatlas.com.

Now the author of the most popular unlock/jailbreak tool for Mac OS X and Windows, “Zibri,” has vowed that his “ZiPhone” utility will work to unlock and jailbreak iPhones running OS 2.0 despite enhanced security measures developed by Apple.

Zibri writes:

“Firmware 2.0 will require a new iTunes version and a new “mobiledevice” framework. If it were for me I would not even bother to hack this version but I know many of you are going to upgrade so I will release a new ziphone version after the official release. I already patched activation (lockdownd) and unlock / Fake IMEI (baseband firmware).”

Some pre-release editions of iPhone OS 2.0 can already be unlocked and jailbroken with the use of Pwnage, a tool exploits a low-level vulnerability in the iPhone’s boot process to allow the installation of custom OS files. This has allowed users to install pre-release versions of the iPhone OS, such as OS 2.0, which normally require expressed authorization and a special signature from Apple.

Seattle-based Pelago Inc. was the first company to receive backing through the iFund. The KPCB site says that Pelago’s social discovery service, Whrrl, will be available on the iPhone as a native application in June 2008.
