This is funny. I’m readin’ somethin’ about iPhones, and I came across this article…

“While the 3.0 software allows a limited level of background operation for add-on applications– its App Store stocks more than 50,000, a wealth of choices other smartphones can’t match — it doesn’t let you switch among multiple programs. If you want to listen to a Web-radio program while writing an e-mail, you’ll need to get a phone like a BlackBerry, T-Mobile’s G1 or the Palm Pre.”

Ain’t that funny? Now I’m not gonna’ say the person who wrote the article is wrong, it’s just funny when I see people sayin’ stuff like that… ‘cuz it makes me feel like I’ve got a “special addition” iPhone that can background, thanks to the jailbroken app Backgrounder.

Oh freak yeah! Backgrounder is out for OS 3.0! I’m listenin’ to Dogglounge in WunderRadio right now in the background while typing this post in WordPress. …Oh no, did WunderRadio just crash, the audio stopped… Oh, haha, it was just a break in the song. Gotta’ love Deep House music…

So yeah baby, Lance (creator of Backgrounder) got a special version of Backgrounder rollin’ for OS 3.0 baby… I’ve only been usin’ the new “3.0″ Backgrounder for like… 20 minutes, but the performance of having Backgrounder run in the background seems to have zero affect on the speed of OS 3.0. I won’t know how much of an improvement this will be, considering OS 3.0 runs much lighter and… we don’t have to run Clippy anymore. Right now I only have Backgrounder as the only jailbroken app that runs alongside the system (before I only had Backgrounder and Clippy). But so far, it seems to be a huge difference.

Apparently all special features of Backgrounder aren’t working right now, and they may not work. Lance has gotta’ see if they’ll work apparently. Now I loved the new design of Backgrounder, but yo… we all understand if your not able to get that back and working for 3.0. We all were beggin’ for Backgrounder for OS 3.0, and we got it… so your good Lance. If you figure it out, great… if not, it’s cool. Either way, you deserve some R&R for this one… Send this dude a thank you note.

So ‘ight, this is some great news. Turns out the iPhone 3G S is jailbreakable. If you didn’t know, there wasn’t any word on whether or not the iPhone 3GS could be jailbroken. But we’ve now got word it can be. In addition, it’s also unlockable so anyone that plans to run it on T-mobile can do that.

This is really good news for everyone who plans on getting a 3GS and wanted to run jailbroken software on it.

Peace, J

The iPhone 3GS was released Friday, last week. It’s funny that all these writers online were talkin’ about how they don’t expect this iPhone to sell as well as the iPhone 3G did or be as big of a deal ‘n’ all this crap. The reasoning behind this? They say that this iPhone model doesn’t contain that many changes like the 3G model did.

What the freak are they talking about? The iPhone 3G S contains so many new things to do, where the 3G only added 3G network speeds and a GPS. Are these writers idiots? The only thing that means “change” to them is the look of the iPhone? If it looks the same, it isn’t changed? What kinda’ mess is that… The 3G S has way more changes to it than the 3G had over the 2G model.

Well, apparently I’m right and they were wrong because the turnout for the 3G S model beat everyone’s expectations by a long shot.

On Monday, I decided to visit the Apple Store here in Tampa, Fl. As you can see from the photo, there was a line for people to buy the 3G model. Four days after and there’s a freakin’ line to buy the iPhone. And inside there’s a line people are waiting also.

But inside, I checked out the iPhone 3G S, and I gotta’ say… I’m impressed. Very. The screen looked so great and the speed was so fast… I could go on and on about how impressed I was with each feature, but I really don’t need to. Just know it’s very fast and worthy of an upgrade.
