Come one, come all folks. Now is your chance to become popular with the Touchmods team and chance to win a FREE Touchmods Mic or Touchmods headset.
That’s right. You heard me right. You too could be one of the lucky winners.
The Touchmods team is looking for some very special coders.
They will be giving away a Touchmods Headset and two Touchmods Microphones for the best 3 coders.
There is no catch, it is for free. The only thing you need to do is to download the source-code of the previous SIP-VoIP app and implement any of their requested features.
You will need to act fast though. This offer is only good until the end of april.
Here are some of the featured items that are wanted:
- internal Touch Buzzer Control (Andreas?)
- optimization of a compression algorithm in order to save bandwidth (ASM coders?)
- link to the internal Calendar (we have the API, thnx Metabaron)
- circular buffers for Incoming, Ougoing, Missed calls
- implementing similar trick to the “iClarified Volume Boost” hack
- “Disconnecting” button Label similar to “Connecting”
- R+L channels both active (Samuel?)
- using other Speech Codecs (with lower bandwidth needed)
- running two providers at the same time (one for receiving, and one for initiatin’ calls)
- GUI-based volume control inside the VoIP app
- iPhone internal Mic input

First off the Dev Team released this video (iPod and iPhone friendly!). It is a video of the jailbreaking tool Pwnage (It also shows off firmware 2.0). Pwnage is a custom firmware builder. First you need to “pwn” you iPod though… before you can use your custom firmware. Which allows a custom loading screen, custom apple logo, and all sorts of goodies. The best part of it though, is that the Dev Team believes that “any subsequent firmware releases will also be vulnerable to “Pwnage” … like 1.2(2.0) beta.”
When might you ask? 30.03.2008. TOMORROW!
Update: Due to some beta testers complaints it is being released later this week.
The iPhone Dev Team (mostly Aviegas) has just released Liberty+. Liberty+ is a rival for jailbreaking and unlocking, taking on the heavyweight ZiPhone, I got a chance to beta test this on windows, and I found it quite similar and different than ZiPhone, similar in the fact that it goes into verbose mode, different because the Installer app is optional, Liberty+ comes with a dozen or so packages that you can install while it jailbreaks. On the beta I had no problems jailbreaking it, but installing Installer did not work. However geohot fixed it. Hopefully this application is as successful as ZiPhone, and propels both to do better work than the other.
Rumor has it that ol’ Steve has put in a 10 million iPhone order. But that’s not all. Those 10 million iPhones are rumored to be 3G.
An iPhone research analyst for Gartner, Ken Dulaney reports that his sources tell him that this new revelation iPhone is rumored to have a better display, longer battery life and a more slim design.
If this pans out to be true, us folks over here in Japan may very well be seeing a bright and shiny new iPhone here by the middle of the year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
Next time you need to go to an website that uses, .fr, .de, .ad, .ae, .au, .es, .ca, or good old .us, try this tip. Go to Settings>General>International>Keyboards and turn on the region/s that you will be using. Next open up safari and click on the globe next to 123 or ABC. Hold down .com for three seconds and select .it, or whatever you turned on!
The Touchmods announced the release of their latest software. SIP-VoIP version 1.2
Some of the added improvements are:
Running in the background. Basically means that it will run all the time so that you can receive calls at anytime. You will have to manually quit from within the application if you want to shut it down.
Want a ringtone. Well, add your own. New support for .mp3 files.
Solved saving problems with new file location
More pics in the skins
If you want to to find out more about this, head over to the Touchmods site for the latest or if you have any questions.
You can download this over at the Touchmods site or you should be able to add via Installer.
Vista Maximus, a SummerBoard theme, is quite easily one of the best Vista style themes created. Created by Bob Vansteel it has gathered a bit of a fan following on iPod Touch Fans. Vista Maximus (VM) 3 had over 100 icons, and VM4 has over 110. VM4 is estimated to be released on March 22, and Bob Vansteel is very confident, even going so far as to say “oh yes, it will pwn even VM3″. I tried out the beta release of VM4 and was really surprised by all the features of it. It has everything from an ants.app mod, to LegitHK’s invisible slider. Also included is an Ubuntu theme, a Windows xp theme, and a Windows 95 theme. So if you want an awesome Vista/Ubuntu/Windows xp/Windows 95 theme go no further than Vista Maximus 4.
