• Android (“idroid”) Available For Download and Install for iPhone 2G and 3G (jailbroken)

  May 21st, 2010 at 5 pm. No Comments - Category: Apple, iPhone, iPhone 3G - Tags: Android, Hack, iPhone, jailbreak

  A Port of Android for iPhone 3G ( and iPhone 2G) called “idroid” is now available for download. Yes, you read that correctly.

  You will need a list of things that you can find here with instructions on how to get it done. PC World will walk you through it, step by step:

  “Although this port does everything that you expect your smartphone to be able to do, it isn’t usable for day-to-day activities just yet–I haven’t implemented any power-management functions, so a fully charged iPhone running Android will last only an hour or so.

  A few bugs and performance issues remain, too, so while the phone will be usable, it won’t be fast. If you do something unexpected (such as forcing the iPhone off), there is a small chance that you may end up restoring your device. However, it is impossible for any bugs to brick or disable your iPhone permanently.”

  You can download the binaries here:

• Make Google Gears Work with Safari 4 beta for Mac

  March 11th, 2009 at 6 pm. No Comments - Category: Apple, Mac, Safari, Software, WordPress - Tags: google gears, Safari, safari 4, Safari 4 beta, WordPress

  You can find a build that will work at this post:

  http://artfulco.de/post/81354511/google-gears-webkit-nightlies-safari-4-and-fluid-app

  Or go directly to download the built Google Gears installer package:

  This also solved it not working with wordpress admin for me. There are still some Safari 4 beta bugs that conflict with wordpress admin, but at least this helps speed up the admin.

• Apple Brazil: Claro iPhone pricing

  September 26th, 2008 at 5 pm. No Comments - Category: Apple, iPhone 3G - Tags: Apple, Brasil, Brazil, claro, iPhone 3G, plans, pricing

  Claro added the iPhone to their web site store:

  Depending on the plan you chose you receive a discount on your phone bill, but you do NOT pay effectively less for the actual iPhone when you sign up. The base price for the 8GB model is R$1999 (ca. $1079) and for the 16GB R$2299 (ca. $1241). The higher your monthly plan the more discount you get back on your pill divided up in 12x.

  So for example if you go with the basic plan the discount starts at R$299,50 that will be subtracted in 12 installments from your monthly phone bill and from the value of your monthly plan. Quite interesting.

  

• Apple Brazil: Vivo offering iPhone 3G: plans and pricing

• Apple Brazil: iPhone stocks and pricing

  September 26th, 2008 at 4 am. One Comment - Category: Apple, iPhone 3G - Tags: Apple, Brazil, iPhone 3G

  Claro had made known that it was holding a stock of 30000 iPhones and Vivo announced a stock of 200000 available devices.

  With Claro the iPhone sells from R$1000 to R$2600 (ca. $548 – $1240), depending on the monthly plan.

  Vivo is selling it with a basic price of R$899 (ca. $494) for the 8GB model and R$1199 (ca. $660) for the 16GB model for those who sign up with the maxed out so called “Total Plan” (Plano total).

  For the launch of the iPhone the cellphone providers Claro and Vivo dispute the market by themselves, for now.

• Apple Brazil: Claro selling iPhone 3G now in Brazil: Plans and Pricing

  September 26th, 2008 at 4 am. No Comments - Category: Apple, iPhone 3G - Tags: Apple, Brasil, Brazil, claro, iPhone 3G, minutes, plans, pricing

  As of early this morning the iPhone 3G plans have been revealed on Claro’s website (claro.com.br) and the iPhone is for sale at all Claro stores nationwide.

  A press release mentions the iPhone will be available starting from R$41.67 (ca. $23) per month. (Wow! .. if this is true).

• Apple Brazil: Vivo supposedly leaks pricing and realease date for iPhone

  September 20th, 2008 at 3 am. No Comments - Category: Apple, iPhone 3G - Tags: Apple, Brasil, Brazil, iPhone 3G

  A release date for the iPhone in Brazil was leaked as September 26, 2008 by GSM cellphone provider vivo. Also a pricelist from an internal memo leaked, as you can see below, and I must say: the pricing is simply outrageous. Now my hope is that competing provider Claro will have lower prices or I will stick with my w580i and go with an iPod touch.

  Note: on the basic 50 minutes plan the iPhone would cost an equivalent of $819. Insanity. Let’s see if this proves to be true or not.

  

• Apple Brazil: Claro promises iPhone for September

  September 4th, 2008 at 2 am. One Comment - Category: Apple, iPhone 3G - Tags: Apple, Brasil, Brazil, iPhone 3G, Sao Paulo

  Cellphone operator Claro promised the iPhone for September 2008 and said it is taking R$100 deposits from previously registered people who showed interest in being notified about news through their site.

  I went to a Claro store on sunday and tried offering them R$100 to make a reservation for an iPhone, but interestingly no one there wanted my money nor knew what the hell I was talking about. One salesperson at the store told me the company would approach people via phone or email about this.

  Well, so far nothing. Lets see.

• Apple Brazil: iPhone cleared by Anatel to be sold in Brazil

  August 13th, 2008 at 1 pm. No Comments - Category: Apple, Computer, iPhone - Tags: Apple, Brasil, Brazil, iPhone 3G

  Brazil’s ANATEL, the National Agency of Telecomunications, a governmental body that approves telecom products before they can be sold in the country, today officially cleared Apple’s iPhone for commercial use. Specified and approved are the frequencies that are going to be used, designations, power levels and the associated name of the technology. Also listed are the maximum transfer speeds that are marked as: 3, 11 and 54 Mbit/s.

  

  Also approved by the document is its use as wireless (wifi) access terminal.

  Another note mentions that the device must be sold with battery and charger that have been cleared by ANATEL. The final requirement is a sticker or marking on the device to make it known that it has been approved for use by ANATEL.

  Find the link to the original document here: http://sistemas.anatel.gov.br/sgch/Certificado/HomologacaoPICC.asp?consulta=1&?NumRFGCT=146908

  I believe this was the biggest hurdle for Apple to take in Brazil and that we should be seeing the device for sale either on August 22, 2008 or shortly thereafter.
