This iPhone application adds a small envelope icon in the taskbar when you have an unread email message and a small speech bubble when you have an unread SMS message. It is useful for reminding you from anywhere within the iPhone user interface that you have an unread message, even if you have previously pressed the “Ignore” button. This includes the lock screen.

Yes! You can finally check your email from the lock screen (assuming you have your email set to auto check)

After the initial blue popup when an SMS message is received, the only place in the UI in which you are reminded of the unread message is the home screen, which as we all know is not where you spend the majority of your time!

This application is possibly even more useful for email because you’re never actually notified of these anywhere other than the home screen.

News from the iPhone unlocking front – works only with iPhone Firmware v1.02!

We are pround to announce a new public release version of our anySIM software. This new version 1.02 fixes a lot of bugs regarding the timing and false fail report issues. For now, this version of anySIM should unlock your phone relayable, if possible. Also the whole process was speeded up a lot.

The used up nck issue is not yet adressed in this update, it will be fixed with a seperate tool soon.

Download: http://www.deadbeef.cn/files/anySIM_102.zip

This version of anySIM is NOT to be expected to work with a updated firmware, DON’T UPDATE!

Chris Hoffman made an application that would allow for easy access to the different running services for the phone such as Wifi, Bluetooth, EDGE, Calling, and SSH. Currently the application only supports turning on/off Edge, Bluetooth, Wifi, and OpenSSH.

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Changes:

New as of version 1.1

PalmDOC and Plucker support, thanks to Zachary Bedell (all the best hackers are named Zachary). Support is somewhat rudimentary at the moment. I hope to implement auto-splitting for these files in particular–at the moment large PDB books are impractical.

Added GIF support to the image-viewing functionality.

Bug fixes.

Rumor has it a new iPhone Software Update will arrive this week. Please don’t forget that Books.app is at Apple’s mercy, and it’s very possible that after this update, Books.app (and all other third-party programs) will no longer work. (After all, no one’s jailbreaked the iPod Touch yet.) So if you’re thinking of donating, thank you!–but it’s better to wait ’til after the update comes down the pike, in case you’re never able to run the program again. 🙂

This is an experimental iPhone application to measure steps as you walk. Install it manually by downloading this and installing all the bits into the proper folders on the iPhone (complicated) or by installing AppTapp, installing the Community Sources package, and then selecting Pedometer (easy and preferred way).
