Games for Jailbroken iPhones

Steve Jobs’ worst-case scenario is about to come true.

Comes now Variah, with a brand new mobile “gaming” app exclusively for jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touch that lets users interactively touch, strip and stroke beautiful models to climax.

Apple’s mobile devices are soon enough going to be definitely NSFW, and we’re not talking anything near as tame as iBoobs, either, let me tell ya.

A brave new world is coming for iPhone and iPod Touch users and some of it will be clothing optional.

iPhone Porn - #1 searched for iPhone search term

Jesse Jane talks Porn and iPhone

There’s always new stuff going on. Just in toys, they’re always coming up with these inventions like Sybians and crazy machines to have sex with or get tied up with.

Now we’re shooting on the Red [digital HD] cameras — I think Digital Playground is the only one — and we have all the Blu-ray coming out. I’m learning with my little camera and my website, where I’m able to upload daily diary videos, which is fun. Technology is getting a lot easier to make things more personal with your fans. They like the daily clips.

Now we can watch porn with our iPhones, and in the next month or two, with Digital Playground we’re going to be able to stream, Twitter and live iChat on our website from our iPhones.”

Jane also hearted her iPhone, which she calls a lifesaver during downtime.

“I love my iPhone because I can sit there and check my e-mail and update my website from my phone while I’m sitting there waiting at the airport.”

Finding Supercool iPhone Apps

Browsing apps in the App Store isn't quite criminal, but it's definitely not optimal for finding fantastic apps. Besides Giz's own iPhone app coverage and roundups, there are four other ways to find buried goodness.

TheAppleBlog lays out four different sites that make it way easier to find the quality app gems that are wallowing, helplessly, in the toxic cesspool of utter crap that makes up most of the App Store.

First up (and most highly recommend of the bunch) is AppBeacon, which requires an account, and you track what apps you own, like and dislike, filtering out the crap you're not interested in (or that's just crap) and bookmarking what you might wanna check out. Unfortunately, there's no recommendation system built-in yet based on what you do like, but that's the next logical step.

AppShopper is from MacRumors' Arn Kim, and it shows you the newest and mostly recently updated apps, which you can filter by pricepoint and even price changes, so you can see when an app you want gets cheaper.

Apptism is similar to AppBeacon, but has deeper, more customizable filters to get really specific about what you're looking for. The killer feature is its Preview listings, which encourages devs to post screenshots and other info about upcoming apps they're working on.

iPhonexe is apparently pretty crappy and ugly, but the value is that it lists apps for jailbroken phones too.

AppSniper tracks app prices and when they get cheaper, from your iPhone, no less.

Slacker Brings Free Music to Your iPhone

The race to make the best mobile internet-radio app is on. Smartphones like the iPhone provide an excellent platform for their services, which let users sculpt their listening experience in ways that are impossible with terrestrial or even satellite radio.

Slacker's iPhone app, announced Wednesday, lets you create radio stations by entering the names of artists you'd like to hear in that station. It's super simple yet surprisingly powerful, with a couple of advanced features not available elsewhere.

This free application (iTunes link) essentially replaces Slacker's own $200 device, giving you access to all of your Slacker channels whenever you have an internet connection, and the iPhone has better controls. I say "essentially" because Slacker's portable is capable of caching interactive channels for playback, while the iPhone version only plays when it has an internet connection (via Edge, 3G or Wi-Fi). This rules out subway use, but as long as you don't enter into areas with poor coverage, the iPhone version does just fine — better than fine, actually.

Watch Out Wal-Mart; AT&T Offers $99 iPhone

It looks like AT&T is the only place to get a $99 Apple iPhone 3G. For now, anyway. In the post-holiday crunch, AT&T has launched the sale of refurbished iPhones to unload some inventory and offer cost-conscious shoppers a discount. In AT&T Wireless' online store, a refurbished 8 GB iPhone runs $99 with a two-year contract, while a refurbished 16 GB iPhone is $199. Both are $100 more when purchased new, but carry the same contract terms.

Wal-Mart iPhone Sales: Where's the Discount?

Wal-Mart is rolling out sales of the iPhone 3G this weekend -- but don't expect to see a lot of savings. As was speculated back in November, the discount retailer will begin carrying the iPhone on its shelves Sunday. Missing from the equation, though, is the discount.

It's no surprise, then, that the rush of reports claiming Wal-Mart would sell the iPhone for $99

created a bit of a stir and didn't seem entirely unbelievable. Turns out, of course, that instinct was wrong.

Selling Strategies

So what happened? It may just be that Apple doesn't believe its iPhone needs that strong of a push. The iPhone already commands almost a third of the U.S. smartphone market and is steadily growing, while Nokia -- the only company ahead of Apple in sales -- has been consistently losing share over the past months. In fact, analysts say Apple is "the only reason" the smartphone market stayed strong throughout the year's economic downfall.

A $99 iPhone would have boosted sales, no doubt, maybe even expanding the phone's demographical reach. But a $197 iPhone placed in front of millions of new faces will probably do the job decently, too. And, given the iPhone's ongoing success and ever-increasing appeal among young users, I suspect Apple isn't too worried about the outcome.

The $99 iPhone 3G finally

Speculation that Wal-Mart would sell a $99 iPhone was put to rest on Friday when the official announcement came out sans the double digits.

However, all hope is not lost.

AT&T is selling a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G in black for $99 with a two-year service contract through Wednesday, New Year's Eve. That beats AT&T's previous price tag of $149.

OK, OK, it's not new. But refurbished is close enough.

The refurbished 16GB model in black or white is also being sold for a $50 discount with a $199 price tag. But that doesn't have the magical ring to it of $99.

iPhone beats BlackBerry Storm in Satisfaction Rating

First reactions from buyers of Research In Motion Ltd.'s newest BlackBerry Storm smart phone have been "lukewarm," and nowhere near the satisfaction ratings of Apple Inc.'s iPhone, a market research analyst said today.

Mint.com and personal finance on the iPhone

Mint.com released a new and free iPhone application early Monday. Similar to PageOnce's mobile efforts, Mint's lets you monitor your credit card and bank accounts from your phone. It also throws in things like your monthly budget, incoming cash flow and expenses, along with any investment accounts you have synced up to Mint.com.

I've just started using Mint and love that I can now see my info on my iPhone. My iPhone is rapidly becoming my primary entry point for everything in my life from Calendar & Email, to Omnifocus and now Mint. I agree that it would be better to have to enter a Mint password to access the info but the default iPhone access code is ok.

Print photos directly from the iPhone from HP

Hewlett-Packard on Monday launched an application that allows users to print pictures wirelessly from an iPhone.

The application, iPrint Photo, allows pictures stored on an iPhone to be printed using HP's inkjet printers attached to a Wi-Fi network.

Users can launch the application on an iPhone, select a photo by touching it, after which a print command is sent to the inkjet printer over a Wi-Fi network. The software also runs on the iPod Touch device.

Currently, the software enables only 4-by-6-inch (10-by-15-centimeter) photo prints and resizes images accordingly. The application is available for download from the App Store for free.

The software is a better way to enable users to print thousands of images stored on their iPhones, HP said. The application works with Apple's Bonjour networking technology to help identify HP wireless printers on the network.

However, there are some caveats. Only JPEG images are printed by the application, and it does not support any other image or documents formats for now, HP said. The printing may also be cancelled if a user receives a call or a text message on the iPhone.

The application has been well-received by iPhone users, but it has limited capabilities, users said in an online forum discussing the software.

"Now they need to come out with one to allow you to print pdf files and other documents from your iPhone," wrote poster det2004, in MacRumors' message boards.

There are also some concerns surrounding the application, which supports only HP printers. "I have a Canon printer with WiFi. I'm hoping someone releases this to work with those printers," poster Daremom wrote on the same page.

HP iPrint Photo is only compatible with wireless HP inkjet printers or other HP network inkjets connected to a Wi-Fi network, an HP spokeswoman said. "Currently we cannot comment on future plans to expand the compatibility," she said.

Additional features and functionality will be decided with future versions of the software, the spokeswoman said.

The technology will be on display at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Macworld, both of which will be held next month.

iphone 3G is great for porn?

Oh girl, I’m so excited for iPhone 2.0. When the first iPhone came out, I considered duct taping my mac, iPod, camera and phone together so that I could have one too…alas, that did not work out. But now Apple is releasing 2.0 for only 200 bucks, and poor college students unemployed (well sort of) writers (read: bloggers) have a chance to look technologically fierce too! Think of all the amazing things I can do! Mapquest things, read about politics, donate online to charitable organizations–oh, and according to Time and most young males that think with the other brain, look at porn. It is, according to one source, “by far the porn-friendliest phone”. Oh hellllllllz yeah.

This is something I could not think of on my own. I needed Time.com to tell me. Apparently iPhone porn is up and coming. How do I feel about this? I’m not quite sure. But I know how some do. Here is the best quote from the article:

Blogger Jason Swifter has already imagined one such scenario. “I wish there was an application that allowed you to undress people by dragging your fingers across the screen and literally dragging it off,” he wrote on iPhonematters.com.

Jason, you sick, imaginative, creeper! Your mother must be so proud!

I wouldn’t use my iPhone for porn. Porn just isn’t my jam. James McAvoy is though–so I would stalk him as hardcore as a 13 year old stalks Zac Efron. Rawr! Alright, occasionally my friend and I have been known to stalk Zefron as well. But seriously, think of all the awkward situations that this new trend could bring. Would you risk it? I want answers.

Pull My Finger and other iPHONE Apps make it into App Store

Here 'tis. The new iPHONE app PULL MY FINGER.

Pull My Finger, Fart Machine, iPooted and Flatulence all made their debut Dec. 12. Another program, iWarnU, was posted Dec. 2. after at first being rejected by Apple.

“It was definitely a matter of taste,” said Sam Magdalein of Air-O-Matic. “I’d gotten an original e-mail from Apple saying no because the program was of limited utility.

"That didn’t make much sense at the time, because they had all sorts of apps that were of limited utility. So, I contacted them and they said it actually was because they thought some people would find it offensive, and they didn’t want to have anything like that in the store.”

-Suzanne Choney

Apple takes everything they put their stamp on very, very seriously.

Which is why all the free iPHONE porn is available on the internet, not a the app store.

See: iPHONE-PORN.us, it's amazing!
