For all of you guys who didn’t believe iSlsk was real, this video is for you. Sorry for the bad quality.

And for those who don’t know, iSlsk is a soulseek client for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Soulseek is a P2P sharing network similar to others like eMule, LimeWire, and BitTorrent.

This is a preview video, iSlsk wasn’t released yet because it’s still on development.

I (errrick) expect to have a beta before May, and a public release on that month.

Enjoy!

PS: for some reason, when downloading the second file it gets stuck at 4.5% both on soulseek and iSlsk.. disregard that, somethimes it gets freezed but after a while it resumes normally. i think it’s soulseek’s fault and not mine

Well as you can see, iSlsk, and P2P is not far away!

In todays news, it seems that Zibri, the creator of the popular Ziphone has discovered a very interesting piece of information.
With the release of the newest beta software for the iPhone, Zibri found a small piece of information in the packaging that confirms that 3G will be coming to the iPhone.
What was revealed was the implementation of a new chipset in the iPhone. The Infineon S-GOLD3H. What is this you ask? It is Infineon’s baseband processor that will be used in the up coming iPhone.

S-GOLD3H: Infineon’s baseband processor supports HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) data rates of up to 7.2 megabits per second (Mbit/s) for the mid-range multimedia phone segment.

With this new chip, data rates will double. People will awe and drool and the iPhone will again be breaking barriers with its new unleashed power.

Infineon states. . .

“Infineon strives for innovative integration of functionalities into its chips to provide our customers with a wide range of reference platforms designed for all segments of the mobile industry, from ultra-low-cost phones to feature phones, including technology ranging from 2G, or second generation, to 3.5G. Our new HSDPA chip enables more than triple the data rates possible in mass market phones today. This makes broadband multimedia applications, such as video streaming or high-speed audio/ video download, available to the mass market,” said Professor Dr. Hermann Eul, Member of the Board and head of the Communication Solutions business group at Infineon Technologies AG. “The scalability, versatility and completeness of our latest reference design platform enable our customers to meet extremely challenging time-to-market requirements when evolving from 2.75G phones to 3G and 3.5G phones, while being flexible enough to quickly adapt to changing markets.”

So folks, get ready for a roller coaster of events to be rolling out within the next couple of months.
Maybe finally, us folks over here in Japan will be able to bask in the glory of owning a new 3G iPhone soon.

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.

Safari 3.1 is the first browser to support the new video and audio tags in HTML 5 and the first to support CSS Animations. Safari also supports CSS Web Fonts, giving designers limitless choices of fonts to create stunning new web sites.

This is a great upgrade from 3.0. I am on my way to download it as soon as I finish this post.

Let us know if you like it.

Cmw just today released iBoot, an interactive console that allows interaction without iTunes, basically it is one step closer to a Linux based firmware. Or so I am told.

What it is , is an operating system of sorts. To boot into it, you need a command from a connected computer. It has no GUI, it is only a command line with some custom commands. Currently there isn’t much use for it, but everything needs to start out somewhere!

 Thanks GrooveMachine!

We are happy to announce a tiny App in our repostitory demonstrating how we access the Contacts list on the Touch and iPhone. Feel free to install and test it. An extra black icon will appear on your device, and by clicking on it you can search the contacts and click on a chosen one.

Big thanks to Metabaron, our new member for this hack!

Cheers,

The Touchmods Team

Basically what happens is this little app will show you how the process will work once they complete integrating it with their Sip-Voip app. Currently, this is ONLY a demo folks. What you can do is see just how it will work. The only thing left for the Touchmods team is to integrate the add feature to the app.

Here are some screenshots.

Can’t wait for this to be project to be completed.

To add this via installer make sure you have the touchmods source added and just click on the “Touchmods Contact Demo” listed under the touchmods category.
