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.
Here’s the scenario: Two guys hit the streets of Hong Kong at 3AM in their sports car and snapped a bunch of pics of the yet-to-be-announced third generation iPhone. Sure it sounds crazy, but crazier things have certainly happened. The shots of the next generation iPhone purportedly show off the auto-focus feature of the camera, shown above (note the blue box), which can apparently be fine-tuned by touching the object of interest on the screen. Also shown is the compass application, the new battery meter with percentage, the option to copy items and the ability to send an MMS. There are no actual pictures of the phone and everything is a bit blurry which, according to the poster, was a requirement for him to be able to get his hands on this yet-to-be-released handset. Hmm. Is this a bit of trickery or are these blurrycam shots really real? You be the judge — sound off below with your critiques/comments and hit the jump for more shots.
Embedded in the latest iPhone 3.0 SDK, some folks in the mactalk.com.au forum has found a “iPhone 2,1″ icon, which represents the product code for the next generation of iPhone for year 2009. If this is true, the upcoming iPhone 2009 will have a similar design as its current series with minimum changes. While the small icon didn’t reveal much in detail, this is definitely a great find for the new iPhone.
While the rumor mill clamors around the next generation iPhone, a Chinese tipster has supposedly handled the device thanks to a deep contact with Foxconn, Apple’s contracted partner to build the iPhone.
How to use your phone's built-in camera for more than just snapshots.These days, a 2-megapixel camera may not seem like much.

Here are just a few of the ways you can extend your camera. Click here for more...
Hot on the heels of yesterday's reports of Apple and Verizon dealings comes some tantalizing, but still unconfirmed, new details from BusinessWeek. According to the publication, the gang in Cupertino has prototyped two devices for the carrier. The first one is a smaller, less expensive device that's been dubbed as "iPhone lite" by someone who's apparently seen it in person. The other is called a "media pad" (Joggler, anyone?) for music, photos, HD video, and placing calls over WiFi. Details are scant beyond that, and while that pad sounds a lot like an iPod touch to us, we can't help but wonder if it has something to do with those 10-inch displays that Quanta's rumored to be manufacturing. Don't put too much stock into this, as the reports could end up being all for naught, but one thing's for sure: you can bet the suits at AT&T are keeping a very, very close eye on this. In other, even sketchier and likely unrelated rumors, a listing for "MacBookMini" has popped up in Adium's statistics. While we wouldn't normally think anything of this -- as TUAW correctly notes, anyone can edit their computer IDs -- it was from these pages that we first heard the name MacBook Air. Chances are this is nothing, but with all this talk of 10-inch screens and media pads, it kind of makes you wonder.
Make: Repairs is a new, periodic column we're launching today, written by Kyle Wiens and the fine folks at iFixit.com. As you probably know, iFixit is the go-to source for Apple-related do-it-yourself repair info and parts and for gadget first-look teardowns. Kyle, Luke, and company are in a unique position to know what the common complaints and sticky-points are in DIY personal tech repair. In Make: Repairs, they'll provide answers to some of these more commonly-requested or gnarlier repair questions. When we asked them to come up with an idea for the first installment, they thought the iPhone front panel replacement was a natural. They say it's their most-purchased part and it's a slightly finicky repair.
Take this for what it is -- a totally unverified rumor from a Chinese forum -- but a set of specs for a next-gen iPhone have leaked out along with this screenshot, and they're not entirely far-fetched. According to the alleged leak, iPhone model MB717LL 9 ("iPhone2,1" perhaps?) will have a 600MHz processor (up from the current 400MHz unit), 256MB of RAM (from the current 128MB), 32GB of storage, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, as well as a digital compass and FM radio, all while retaining the same battery, basic shape, and screen size. Do we believe it? Well, if we were to conservatively guess at specs for a next-gen Apple phone that's pretty much what we'd come up with -- with the exception of FM -- so we're not shaking our heads too hard. Plus we've definitely seen evidence that a compass will figure into the equation, and there's endless whispers that the camera will see an upgrade. Still, only Steve and the gang know for sure, and we're (probably) not finding out till they're ready -- WWDC, are you here yet?

However the storage space of iphone is considerably large but depending upon the latest applications which are developed daily and also the personal user data stored in the phone is getting huge by every day. Hence the need for extra storage space is felt and that is provided by Supersize Me. You can upload all your mobile phone contents to a cloud and can later on download it whenever you have free space or whenever you want to use them again.
The company is offering around 1GB of storage space in the cloud but it doesn’t seem that this much space will be enough to satisfy the hunger. So if you want more, you will have to pay more. You can get 10GB of monthly space at just $2.99 and if by chance you want more then you can have 100GB of storage per month but then you will have to shell out $11.99 per month.
What I did not liked about this application is that you need a desktop or your mac book to load your data to the cloud. You cannot use your iphone to upload your files and that is a pretty serious drawback according to me.
The use of flickr is increasing exponentially and what exactly flickr is, I don’t I think I need to explain. With the advent of this new online photo management site, flickr has took the market by a throng. With more than 50,000 photos uploaded during each minute, the popularity of the site inevitable. But actually it’s not only a online photo management site but at the same time it’s the worlds’ best sharing application as well with a huge list of features to accompany its success.
We will see in the the final product to be released of 3.0 firmware. Source...
Will we be welcoming an iPhone HD at WWDC this June? Well, according to the various reports, someone familiar with Apple’s plans state that it’s simple to record and editing stunningly sharp video with the device, after which you’ll be able to wirelessly send it to friend or watch it on the phone’s improved screen. Might this “improved screen” be an 800 x 480 iPhone display that we’ve been dreaming about? We certainly hope this turns into a reality come June. Fingers crossed.
