687567 2008-07-16 21:04:00 Theres a VoIP app, but Ive not downloaded it, it looks like its a proprietary one that locks you into that provider.. I could be wrong though...

Maybe I'll have a look later today :)

Just out of interest, why would you need to if you decided to? Assuming if my understanding of Jailbraking is correct in that it lets you run other 3rd party apps on your iPhone - which is what the Apps store is for...

I see Vodafone are reported in the Herald as receiving another earlier than expected shipment of iPhones - so they should be fully stocked for another day or ....sorry Sold out already :D

Just a note to interested iPhone users


Apple's iPhone 3G battery good for about 3.5 hours of browsing
Existing iPhone owners moving to Apple's new iPhone 3G should expect an approximate 50 percent reduction in battery life when using the new handset in 3G mode to browse the web and perform other Internet-related functions, a series of tests show.

Over the past five days, several publications have weighed in with early reviews of the new phone that include battery benchmarks covering 3G talk time and 3G Internet use. For the most part, talk time results have met or exceeded Apple's promise of "up to 5 hours on 3G."

That observation, however, lends hidden promise for future generations of the touch-screen handset. Apple recently purchased boutique microprocessor design firm PA Semi for $278 million and plans to use the assets acquired in that deal to help it design a new generation of proprietary chips to power future iPhones and iPods.

687574 2008-07-17 03:13:00 Jailbreaking allows you to install custom apps, amongst other things.

If you go to:
www.fring.com

The line says:
1. In order to install fring, you need to have your iPhone “opened” first to accept 3rd party applications. Refer to the Internet for details.


Thats just a polite way of saying "Jailbreak your iPhone or you cant install it" ;)
