If for whatever reason you wish to know what version your iPhone is but are not really sure, just read this and it will provide you with some quick help.
1) Press the Home button
2) Then press the Settings button
3) Now press General
4) Now go to About
5) Look for “Version:” after that, it will have a bit of text, but we are only interested in the first 3 numbers, it will say something like 1.1.2, 1.1.3. If yours says 1.1.2 you have firmware, same deal with if it says 1.1.3 or something else.
Enjoy!
I found this on YouTube today, quite an old video but still pretty cool and amazing, if you have a bit of spare time, be sure to watch it.
During the recent Apple/iPhone event, Apple announced a brand new application called the “App Store”. The name is pretty self-explanatory, it will allow users to download applications to their iPhone, much like installer.app that has been going around prior to the SDK.
Heres a direct quote from Steve jobs speaking about App Store,
“The App Store is going to be the exclusive way to distribute iPhone applications,” Jobs says. “We think we’ve got a great business deal for developers.” Developer picks the price. Developer gets 70% of the revenues right off the top. We keep 30%. No credit card fees for developers. No hosting fees. No marketing fees. “And it’s paid monthly,” Jobs says. “This is the best deal going to distribute applications in the mobile space.”
More importantly, all these applications can be downloaded free of charge. There are a few limitations in place for App Store such as applications involving porn, bandwidth hogging, malicious and illegal.
A researcher at Osaka University in Japan has developed a device that will allow people to control their iPod music player with their eye winks. If your wondering what the name of this device is, it’s called the KomeKami Switch, or Temple Switch, the gadget uses infrared sensors and a mini computer to detect differences in the movement of your skin when you wink!
