MobileTetris (iPhone misc)

The team of MobileTetris was forced to change their name because of using the copyrighted name “Tetris” in their product.

Author notes:

NOTICE
Due to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, we have been forced to change our name, which was, unfortunately, in the URL. The site, with all of the name changes, has been relocated to http://tetrominos.googlecode.com

DMCA
We love you, DMCA. Please, everyone, take a second to drop Senator Orrin Hatch a line. He made this all possible. (He’s my home state Senator.) (Note: I respect copyright. I don’t mind being asked to change the name. I do, however, mind when it comes under a blanket threatening law like the DMCA, which is unnervingly broad.) Senator Hatch, you will never get my vote.

iPhone v1.1.1 exploit found, homebrew again soon? (iPhone misc)

It looks like the iPhone dev team is up to something. Locked has been following them over at IRC and it looks like Mobile Safari on both the touch and the iPhone are suffering from a one year old TIFF exploit.

Basically, opening a carefully crafted TIFF image will crash mobile safari, causing a buffer overflow and allow for arbitrary code execution. This same exploit was used more than 1.5 years ago to crack the PSP firmware.

Books v1.2 (iPhone Application)

Books is a native eBook reader for the iPhone. Capable of reading HTML and plain text stored on your iPhone.

New in version 1.2!

Inline image support! The update you’ve been waiting for! Images smaller than 300 pixels wide will appear as-is; larger images are scaled to fit the iPhone screen. (Sorry, no zooming.) You can still look at individual images, pixel-for-pixel, from the file browser.

Improved sorting in the file browser! Your book files will always appear first in the list, over the images.

Cyrillic support. Thanks to Russian user Michael for pointing me to the correct text encoding.

iSwitcher v1.56 (iPhone Application)

iSwitcher is a theme / keyboad swapping iPhone application. iSwitcher is 100% compatible with SummerBoard (verified with all versions up to 2.1).

What’s new?

Faster and more useful iSwitcher can now install icons with spaces in their name. I realize this doesn’t sound like a big deal. Trust me, it is. 😀 Version 1.56 is also about 15% faster than v1.45 when loading icon themes and about 20% faster when loading keyboards. (nice…)

Custom Icons We can now load custom icons for each theme. Say you are using the 1984 theme and the next, “can’t do without it” iPhone app is released and you don’t have an icon to match. If the theme developer, or anyone creates a matching icon, all you have to do is put it into the “Icons” subfolder and when iSwitcher is loading that theme, it will install your new icon. This also applies to your own custom apps. I use four one button “dialer” apps and I have made custom icons for all the matching themes.
