Unlock iPhone 3.1

MobileInstallation Patch For iPhone 3.1

With the release of iPhone OS 3.1, a new MobileInstallation patch is needed. I’ve been looking around for a MobileInstallation patch for iPhone 3.1 and couldn’t find a downloadable file. But there is an easier way to go at it by installing AppSync for OS 3.1 on Cydia.

You will have to add the hackulo.us source to your Cydia sources: http://cydia.hackulo.us

Once you have added this source, I suggest you reboot your iPhone, then launch Cydia and search for “AppSync for OS 3.1″. Install it, reboot your iPhone one more time and your MobileInstallation should be patched.

Apple Responds to Full Disclosure of Google FCC Response

Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris has sent TiPb a response to the now fully public Google FCC disclosure, which Dieter posted earlier today.

“We do not agree with all of the statements made by Google in their FCC letter. Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application and we continue to discuss it with Google.”

So it’s either Apple-said/Google-said, some broken-telephone (the irony!) between the two companies, or a mix of both?

Regardless of the “was it rejected or is it still being studied” tempest, Google Voice and Google Latitude remain absent from Apple’s App Store, and all companies seem to agree on the reason: they duplicate what Apple considers to be core functionality
