GPS or not GPS...

From the iPhone2 patent it seems likely thatApple at last included an embedded GPS.Informations are anyhow confusingand I don't feel like confirming it as a fact.We will see.
I don't really care since I have my fellow TomTom device. ;)

Les jeux sont faits

The patents for the iPhone2 (and firmware 2.0) are out.As you can see from the images above, FLASH andWindowsMedia content will be finally supported.In figure 53D you can also see how thenew welcome screen will look like.Again there is nothing in the patent aboutan embedded GPS (as I previously said).External bluetooth GPS will be supported andmanaged by the "locationd" daemon.You can browse the patent HERE.

We're near..don't panic!

We're near to the event everyone is expecting.As soon as the final 2.0 version will be outI will start working on it.Shortly after receiving my 3G iPhoneI will also start working on it.If you upgrade before I say so, please don'tcome here crying for help.It will also be useless to upgrade to 2.0 untilall developers will recompile and test their applications.If you speak italian you might want tocheck http://it.ziphone.org/(check the second Panorama link)
Keep donating if you want ZiPhone to be free.Till now, only 1/1000 donated.And I hereby thank whoever did or helpedthis project (like the translators).Namaste!Zibri

Still bored :)

I'm done with the last beta.Since Apple is going to release a new itunes versionfor 2.0 to work I will have to rewrite ZiPhoneto support the new mobiledevice framework.In other words: don't expect a new ZiPhone versionshortly after the official 2.0 release.It will take some time to rewrite and to fully test it.But as you can see from the above screenshots,don't worry... The 'hacking' work has beendone already. Now the 'easy to use' part will needsome time.
Keep checking this site for further updates.
Namaste,Zibri

The worst is yet to come... :)

In the past few days I have been busy disassembling

and analyzing what we could call a "gold" 2.0 firmware.

I say gold because it's expiration date is the

4th of June so all features are there already.

Well 2.0 will not have MMS, not have cut & paste,

no new applications (guess why!). So, aside from exchange

support and appstore what did they change ? I'll tell you: security !

Yes, Apple tightened iPhone security (their security not yours)

a new crypto algo has been introduced

(and promptly defeated as expected).

No more "8900" files but IMG3. Firmware 2.0 will require

a new iTunes version and a new "mobiledevice" framework.

If it were for me I would not even bother to hack this version

but I know many of you are going to upgrade so I will release

a new ziphone version after the official release.

I already patched activation (lockdownd)

and unlock / Fake IMEI (baseband firmware).

To fully test this version I will need a Mac (I don't have one yet)

and thanks to the help of ModMyApple.it forum

I will probably have one soon.

About the 3G iPhone:

The 3G iPhone will share almost the same firmware

of the actual iPhone, so, again, no big news.

I wish the community could react to all this and start

developing on the actual firmware version but I know

that will not happen.

I am getting bored lately but even

if I received a big proposal to acquire ziphone

I will not let you down.

Please stop complaining about your bricked phone

if you used other methods.

And keep donating if you want this project to live.

Take care and have fun!
