Update Jailbreaked and Unlocked iPhone To OS 3.0 Firmware

As I already said upgrading the iphone OS is not a tough nut to crack, its very simple and can be done by following the steps given below. But if by chance you want to downgrade then it can become real problem. But it does not mean it cannot be done but its better you read properly what iphone os 3.0 is all about before upgrading, read about it here.

Procedure:

Connect your iphone to the computer and download the latest itunes version 8 if you don’t have it already. You can download it from here

Once you have connected your phone you will see it under the devices tag in the itunes, select it from there.

At the bottom you will see a check update button. Click on it to start download the latest updates for your iphone.

You will the donlwoad progress. Make sure that you do not disconnect the phone until the download is complete.

Once it’s complete, you are done. Isn’t that simple as I already said.

If you have an ipod touch, the procedure followed will still remain the same but the ipod touch users need to shell out $9.95 for the latest update.

Download Free Music Composer For Windows Mobile

Mixtikl is not among the beautifully designed applications but if you are into music making and love to make your own compositions, then Mixtikl might appeal to you. It’s basically a music mixing application which lets you mix upto 12 audio tracks at the same time. Since there are commonly 12 keys on a keypad, therefore the maximum number of audio tracks have been limited by them, each key dedicated to controlling specific audio track.

As if know the application is only available for the windows mobile users but its iphone counterpart is on its way. One of the limitations was that you cannot transfer the unfinished projects to your computer or mac but with the latest plugins of this application, the same can be done with ease and you can continue the unfinished business through your desktop also. This turns out to be a really convenient option.

The earlier hot favourite used to be MiniMixa is now being replaced by Mixtikl as it is evolved from the roots of MiniMixa. The application however is not free but you can use the trail version for free for 30 days and it would perform just like a full version would do. But after 30 days you will not be able to save what you create but you will still be able to use Mixtikl.

Features of Mixtikl:

It includes integrated Noatikl generative music engine.

You will get access to 12 tracks with independent volume, pan, fx & solo/mute.

It is available for Mobile phone / cellphone / smartphone; Pocket PC / PDA.

You can easily transfer your mixes between mobile and PC and back again.

But what about those who use BSNL or Reliance, as a matter of fact, BSNL which is india’s largest telecommunication government company is not on the list. But it’s not too far that BSNL and Reliance also going to be included in the list.

The cost of the SMS is premium, that is Rs.3/- per SMS. Most of the people have to say that the SMS rates should also have been kept nominal, why opt for premium SMS charges. Here are some

Apple periodically launches new versions of iphone firmware so that the users can enjoy more benefits and more features with the added advantage of the previous bug fixes.

Apple has launched this new firmware to counter the illegal use of iphone applications. Now if you encounter any problem then the only solution left with you is to downgrade to the earlier stable versions of the iphone.

• The first thing you need to do is to enter in the DFU mode. You can do this by switching off the iphone and pressing and holding the power and the home button for atleast 10 seconds and now release the power button but keep pressing the home button until iphone is detected as a USB by the computer.

• The conventional method is to use itunes and downgrade to the previous version of iphone firmware but this would cause some errors because iTunes is unable to restore-back from the newer 3.0 baseband.

• To eliminate this problem you will have to download QuickPWN, the download to which is given at the end of this page.

If Found - Get Your Lost iPhone Back


Just think about your iphone or ipod touch getting lost and that will be enough to stir you. There is no way you can ever thinking of losing your device which costs in hundreds of dollars. Well, to reduce your worries and give you peace of mind a little bit though, If Found is there. If Found is a free iphone application which will increase your chances of getting your lost iphone or ipod touch back.The application is developed by polka networks which actually does what its name says. It displays an If Found message of the screen of your iphone so that the person who has found your iphone can know whome he should contact to. You can also personalize the message but the topic of argument that remains here is that why would someone return your iphone or ipod touch, a device that is so famous that it does not require any introduction to it. You really have to lucky to encounter an honest person.One you have installed the application you will see two fields you can fill up. The field bar contains you emergency phone number and the other field bar contains your personalized message which should not exceed 35 characters. The smart thing according to me will be if you put your email id in there or any of your other contact number or any means by which the founder can contact you immediately. I have seen people putting in display message such as finder’s reward but they should realize that no reward is good enough to exceed the cost of iphone.
Once you have customized all this information, you then need to customize the screen wallpaper on which you want it to display. Just set the wallpaper and hope for the best.Download if Found
