Geeking it up DIY-style is all about using everything you have at your disposal to create something totally awesome. This iPhone 3GS Box Dock totally lives up to that principal.
Using the actual box that the phone came in, all this DIY requires is a steady hand with a pair of scissors and a liberal application of glue. Apply the included charging and docking materials to a cut-out in the box and voila… instant dock.
Apple has had a tough last few weeks, all things considered. Flocks of irritated customers have been complaining about a brown discoloration of the white iPhone 3G S casing, originally thought to be the consequence of overheating.
As it turns out, new reports suggest that the discoloration is actually a reaction due to contact with third-party iPhone cases. More importantly to you, the coloring can easily be removed by rubbing your iPhone down with alcohol (beer app probably won’t do the trick). I personally have the black iPhone so I can’t try this out myself, but if you do, let us know how it works out for you.
Apple is slugging along with their newest developer release of iPhone 3.1. Seems like Steve Jobs is running a much tighter ship than maestro Cook. Many of the major issues of 3.0 (which probably wouldn’t of been there in the first place if it were up to El Jobso) have been fixed. Here is a list of improvements dredged up by developers.
Non-destructive video editing means trimming a clip no longer saves over the original video but gives you the option to “Save as copy…” Options for MMS are back on AT&T, but not sending or receiving. Voice Control now works over Bluetooth iPhone vibrates when moving icons Updated AT&T profile to 4.2 Updated modem firmware to 5.08.01 Improvements to OpenGL and Quartz. APIs to allow third party apps to access videos and edit them.
More is sure to come soon. So stay tuned. On that note, what else do you think needs fixing?
Update: Doesn’t seem to be showing up on Apple’s iPhone OS 3.0 site, but the “Check for updates” button on the iPhone interface on iTunes does the trick. It’s up on the site now!
Yipeee! The wait is finally over! Apple has officially released the iPhone 3.0 OS upgrade, which includes copy & paste, MMS, peer-to-peer gaming, tethering plus 100 other groovy new features.
Bon appetit, fanboys.
