Why iPhone still ruleZ

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:37:39 +0000

I’m going to make a simple point. And because people that know me think I’m a “unfair-Google-aficionado-that-doesn’t-see-how-evil-Google-is”, I’m going to use Android as victim here.

iPhone ruleZ

Other OS? I’m not even taking into consideration old stuff like Symbian: is just too easy to trash it now-days (Qt is a whole different story though).

iPad Simulator in Video and Comments

Sat, 30 Jan 2010 10:52:45 +0000

I would have just posted it on Twitter, but I have some comments about this video.

One of the first video of the iPad Simulator

Watch it in Full screen at 720p: it help “feeling” the proportions used by Apple in the UI
It clarify how it does execute iPhone apps: they most probably implement the iPhone API as is: indeed even the Keyboard that you get in an iPhone application is the same (no super large/super cool keyboard of the iPad

Google Latitude on iPhone? Background Process?

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:05:37 +0000

Google just introduced a new service, Latitude. I will not go in the details of explaining what it does, simply because the official web page is detailed enough, and has a nice/fancy video.

What is relevant for me is the list of phone with which it will work:

Will it work with my phone? Google Latitude is a feature of Google Maps for mobile on these phones:

Android-powered devices, such as the T-Mobile G1 (coming soon)

iPhone and iPod touch devices (coming soon)

most color BlackBerry devices

most Windows Mobile 5.0+ devices

most Symbian S60 devices (Nokia smartphones)

many Java-enabled (J2ME) mobile phones, such as Sony Ericsson devices (coming soon) This service is free from Google; carrier charges may apply.

I told you guys!!!

Linux on iPhone

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 14:46:48 +0000

Of course, it was a matter of time: we all knew that. But, still, this video is important: a concrete, publicly understandable proof, that Linux is going on the iPhone.

Probably it will never have a concrete, commercial application (like running Android, as the guys from where I took the video would like ;) ), but it’s undoubtedly an important proof of the great flexibility and adaptability of Linux and, in general, of the Open Source Software.

I sold my Love

Cinguettio

Devo resistere.

In fondo a cosa mi serve il [en:GPS] ed il [en:3G]? Ad andare piu’ veloce e piu’ facilmente (dato che la copertura 3G e’ di gran lunga superiore a quella 2.5G)? A poter andare in giro come turista e avere una mappa che mi localizza in maniera ancora piu’ precisa?

Il [en:2.5G] e’ piu’ che sufficiente per: navigare siti web e, soprattutto, email. Il locationing basato su Triangolazione basta e avanza con uno che ha un buon senso dell’orientamento come me, e permette di imparare anche meglio i luoghi, pur usufruendo della mappa se davvero mi perdo.

PS Yes, I’ll use it also with my Wind SIM ;)

Loop Rebooting iPhone: how to fix it

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:04:41 +0000

I was playing with my Jailbroken iPhone when I decided to install OpenSSH and login. 1 minute after I discovered there is a password I should use to login:

for user root is alpine
~~for user mobile is dottie~~

After I connected to my loved iPhone trough SSH (don’t be impatient: it takes a minute or two for it’s ARM cpu to generate the Keys), I changed straightaway the password for both the above named users (using just passwd).
