Peter Aloisson has already had an obsession with phones, and jewelery. So he decided to bling out his iPhone, he named it the “Princess Plus”. The iPhone has 17.5 karats of diamonds which are set in 18 karats of white gold around the edge of the iPhone. Doing these mods to the iPhone pushed the price of it up to 120,000 EUR, or $176,400 making it the worlds most expensive iPhone.

Hey readers,
This post is some great news, after a lot of hard work we are glad to say that our forums have been officialy opened. You will be able to find the link to them in the header and at the bottom of this post. The forums will be a great place for the community to discuss anything to do with Apple, including the iPhone of course. We also have a wallpapers section where you will be able to find a great variety of wallpapers to use on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
According to the iPhone Dev Team some new tools are been built which will eventually allow developers to bypass Apple’s restrictions on what applications can be released with their SDK.
According to the team, users are able to ‘Pwn’ their iPhone via an exploit found in lower level iPhones and iPod Touch’s, the exploit allows unsigned code to be run on the machines. Once your iPhone has been ‘pwned’ you will be able to install custom files easily.
Sounds interesting? We agree, if you want to you can read more technical details from the link below.
Japanese government officials, are investigating a defect that caused an Apple iPod to “shoot out” sparks whilst it was been recharged, this was reported on Wednesday.
The ministry is categorizing this incident as a fire, however luckily noone was hurt. Apple are now also been ordered to find out the cause of the incident, and report back to the government about it.
Incase you are wishing to know the model number, it was “MA099J/A” and around 425,00 of those models were shipped into Japan around September, 2006.
Apple Inc. was sued Wednesday regarding the iTunes music store, and iPod music players which are apparently using patented method for distributing media around the internet.
Zap Media (The company suing) wants royalties on Apple’s saled of iPods, and iTunes music, which reached a massive 11 billion dollars last year.
The patents in question cover a way of sending music/digital content from servers to multi-media players (iPods).
Zap Media applied for the patents back in 1999, the first one was granted in March 2006, and the second one on Tuesday.
Robert Frohwein, ZapMedia’s general counsel, had this to say in a statement,
“When someone takes our vision and our intellectual property without a license after several attempts, we have no option but to protect it through every means available to us.”
An Apple spokesman has said the company does not wish to discuss pending lawsuits.

Watch the Apple March 6th event
On March 6th, Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone software roadmap, released the iPhone SDK, and introduced the iPhone Enterprise BETA Program. You can now watch the presentation directly on the Apple.com site.
On Monday, Gameloft announced it will produce and create no less then 15 new game titles for the iPhone this year, Gameloft is now the fourth major game developer to announce the iPhone as a gaming platform.
Michael Guillemot said the iPhone gaming environment will be a total new era in mobile gaming adding in that the Apple SDK produces an excellent opportunity for the company. According to Guillemot, Gameloft game developers have already started using Apple software development kit to produce some gaming titles, some available as early as June (when the App Store is released).
Remember to keep a look out for Gameloft titles released for the iPhone, as well as other game developing companies such as EA games who have also announced they will be making some some games for the iPhone.
Apple have said they won’t be giving Sun the opportunity to put Java on the iPhone for Java apps, BUT with the Apple SDK coming out Sun have decided to take things into their own hands. They will be making a Java Virtual Machine for the device that will allow java applets to be run on it. We’re pretty sure at least a few decent applications will come out of this, we’ll just have to wait and hope. Gonna be interesting to see how Apple will handle Sun sneaking Java onto the iPhone with this method.
Have you been having some trouble keeping your iPhone screen clean? Yeah, me too, it can get quite annoying at time, especially when the dirt/marks are on the inside of the screen. Well now you can download this girl to keep the inside of your screen clean, have a look at the vid!
PS: This doesn’t actually work, incase you actually believed it.
Just recently, a whole lot of complaints regarding the iPhones touchscreen not working have been made, read more below..
Apple was today monitoring the latest mini-crisis to hit its much-hyped iPhone after some users began reporting that the touchscreen did not work. Threads on several Apple forums including the company’s own have been devoted to the problem, which causes parts of the device’s screen to go ‘dead’ and stop responding to the touch of a finger.
Typically the dead spot is a strip about half an inch wide that runs the width of the iPhone’s screen as it is held vertically, users experiencing the problem said.
In one case, the strip ran across the Unlock button, which meant that the user was unable to answer the phone when it rang.
“On the main screen, I can’t hit the button for clock, calculator, notes of settings,” ‘Gwas’, a user of the Apple-dedicated site Mac Rumors, wrote. “For text messages, I can’t hit the send button. On the phone keypad I can’t hit the 7, 8, or 9 keys.”
Another complainant wrote: “Now like 1/4 of the screen starting from the bottom doesn’t work.”
It was something lots of people have been asking for, and AT&T have delievered just that, an “unlimited” call plan. Thats right, an unlimited plan, it costs $119.99 per month, perfect if you love to call people, or if your a business person on the phone all the time.
Although, with this plan you still only get 200 sms text messages, which is something you’ll need to get a very close eye on. At least you won’t need to cut a call short because your afraid of over-charging your account, but you will need to be very careful with those sms messages, due to the prices of them heading upward constantly.
