For those of you with jailbroke iPhones, you might be interested in the new iDongle, a DIY stand-alone device that will allow your jailbroke iPhone to tether boot when you iPhone runs out of batteries or resets due to a software bug.
A neat little device I’d say. I am sure the author can extend the functionality to even jailbreak an iPhone in the future. These are on limited productions as it seems now but may become more popular among iPhone hackers soon.

For those of you who appreciate good kitchen and cooking like me, you might want to consider making a cool DIY iPhone stand like this, all made from forks and spoons.
Of course, if you don’t want the hassle of building one yourself, you can order one here at Etsy.
You know what a pain iTunes can be at times, especially when you are trying to convert DRM-protected WMV files in your iPod/iPhone. This shouldn’t be disallowed, especially if you have rightfully paid for the WMV files and you want to transfer DRM-protected WMV files to your iPod/iPhone so you can watch it on the go.
You can use the free version of DRM removal software, Media Converter Pro to do this, also
For those of you who’ve abused your iPhones and either have broken front LCD or even just very-badly scratched back, here’s a great tutorial that shows you how to restore all of that as good as new.
It might also be a great tutorial for those of you who can’t afford a new iPhone, just buy an old iPhone for much cheaper than restore it yourself.
My previous iPhone was stolen at the gym, low on funds I decided to buy the cheapest iPhone I could find that worked regardless
For iPhone users out there who want to take some macro-photo shots of their subjects, you can use a pocket magnifier to do so without hacking your iPhone open.
Also, you can use old lenses out of DVD players too, see this other iPhone macro-lens hack here.
Although the results will never be compared to a real DSLR camera, the results below show that macro-photography can be done rather well using a pocket magnifier.

One of our readers Titus just alerted me that Zedomax.com on smartphone browsers such as his iPhone will cause our e-mail newsletter lightbox to appear and make it almost impossible to get rid of.
Therefore, I’ve just put in a simple PHP code that will detect iPhone, iPod, Android, and Palm Pre browsers so there’s no more of that. Try PHP code something like below:
<?php $iphone = strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”iPhone”); $android = strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”Android”); $palmpre = strpos($_SERVER[̵
One of the biggest problems with hacking the iPhone to control other gadgets is the fact that iPhone doesn’t support external devices easily without use of a middle-man computer.
When searching for solutions, some projects show up which claim that “the iphone controls my RC car/my garagedoor” etc, but actually the iphone is communicating with a pc which then again communicates with an arduino. This is ok for protyping, but I want to get rid of the PC part (Actually there was a project in 2008 which uses iphone-xbee to control a rc-car. The instructions are in Japane

I just found this video online of South Korean guy who got tired of using his Korean sausage as stylus, he found out that you can use a battery as stylus. I think this is a great idea except it might scratch your screen.
