share your iphone music with friends

Simplify Media, the iTunes plugin that lets you share your entire music library over the internet, now works with iPhone and iPod touch. Unlike similar applications, Simplify Media does not use Safari to stream music. This allows you to surf the web while you and your friends listen to your iTunes library from anywhere you have Wi-Fi access.

To install Simplify Media, you will need a Jailbreak iPhone or iPod touch with the AppTapp Installer. Then go to AppTapp and look for Simplify Media under the multimedia category. When you run it you will need to sign in with your Simplify Media username and password. Download the desktop version of the software for Mac or PC to create your free account. Be sure you have a Wi-Fi connection because EDGE won’t cut it. And you might want to check out the iPhone demo at the Simplify Media web site.

The Best iPhone Game:Labyrinth 0.4

Labyrinth was one of the best games created for the iPhone, it made good use of the phone’s accelerometers and showed the true potential of 3rd party apps for the iPhone. Unfortunately, the popular game was recently updated by its developer to v1.0 adding a timer (which was way too quick) and a demo only version…meaning that now the game was not free anymore.

The new version adds some new features like calibration and probably fixes some bugs…but the full game costs $7. If you think its worth it…go ahead and buy it, if not then we got your piece of cake! Download Labyrinth v0.4 and follow the following instructions to get it working :

1. Extract the zip file to your Desktop

2. Open WinSCP and connect to your iPhone via SSH

3. Go to the root/Applications folder and Drop the extracted folder in there

4. Next go into the Labyrinth.app folder and right-click on the file labyrinth and set permission to 0755

5. Reboot your phone

Bill Clinton is also a iPhone user

You’re standing in line when Bill Clinton, former US President, walks by with his Secret Service escort. Quick! What do you do? (1) Shake his hand. (2) Share a quick joke about Arkansas’s night life. (3) Ask him to sign your iPhone.

If you’re B. Ioffe, the answer is 3. He writes that President Clinton shared that he is an iPhone owner; Steve Jobs fixed him up with an iPhone for his personal use. This of course demands the question: If ex-Veep Al Gore is on Apple’s Board of Directors, why didn’t he snag his old buddy an iPhone himself? Or, as Ioffe writes, at least a prerelease 3G version.

A Christmas Game For iPhone

Christmas is approaching, and what better way to wile away a minute or two than with a virtual snow globe? The kind folks at Pop Art created this iPhone Snow Globe that one ’shakes’ by changing the orientation of the iPhone.

It’ll amuse you for a moment, and it is free so why not? That’s what the holiday season is all about, right?

Change what happens when you double-click the iPhone’s home button

By default, the iPhone allows you to trigger the following actions when the home button is clicked: go the Home screen (Springboard); go to phone favorites; go to the iPod function. Wouldn’t it be great, however, if you could double-click the home button and trigger an automatic launch of Safari, the dialing of a specific phone number, or a blank email message? A new native application dubbed “iPhoneHome” makes it possible.

To install the program: launch Installer and install iPhoneHome from the “Utilities” section.

Once the program is installed, launch it and tap the “Change App” button. You can choose the dialing of any phone number, the creation of a blank email, the launching of the camera or any other application installed on your iPhone to be automatically effected when you double-click the home button (with your iPhone on and awake). Click “Save and Quit” and the change will take place.

iPhone Cannot Display Negative Temperatures

If you happen to live in a very cold area within the United States, don’t bother using the weather application on your iPhone. The weather application does not display negative Fahrenheit temperatures and just replaces them with 0F. If you’re using Celsius, the application for some reason displays negative temperatures. This was pointed out by a person in Alaska who posted on the Apple discussion boards.

I live in Alaska. The temps here have all been below zero F or more than -18C but the weather reported on the iPhone never goes below zero F. right now it is -13F and going to Yahoo says this but the iPhone shows 0F.
Currently in Nome, Alaska it’s a chilling -18F, yet the iPhone displays 0F. Hopefully Apple fixes this bug in the next update as it’s getting pretty darn cold here.
