Pangea updates Enigmo for iPhone to 1.1.1, adds downloadable content

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Aug 7th, 2008

Over the past day, Pangea Software has issued two updates for their Enigmo physics game for the iPhone/iPod touch. The updates in question (1.1 and 1.1.1) allow you to download custom levels from Pangea's website via the application.

Be sure to sync your iPhone and complete the backup process before updating Engimo, as the saved game deletion issues continue to be a concern. Pangea has officially acknowledged the issue, and offers backups as a solution. You can download/buy Enigmo from the App Store (iTunes link).

SendSong updated for 1.1.1

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Oct 18th, 2007

Just because Steve has promised to give us an SDK in February doesn't mean TUAW's own Erica Sadun is giving up on us. She's still going strong on getting more and more functionality onto the iPhone as we speak. Case in point: her new SendSong, which is updated from before to work with 1.1.1 and the latest ringtone developments.

She warns that it's still pretty "flakey," but the idea is that you can click any song in your iPhone's library, and then choose to send it by email to someone else, or (and here's the kicker) automatically make it a ringtone. Give it a try, and let her know how it works. Official iPhone development may start in February, but unofficial iPhone development continues.

Found Footage: iPhone bricked? Still useful

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Oct 15th, 2007

Because an Apple commercial isn't accepted by the Apple community until it's parodied, here you go. NeoBen on YouTube has made a short parody of the new iPhone ads-- but they're about how his iPhone got bricked with the 1.1.1 update. And how you shouldn't worry if yours got bricked, too, because there's still a lot of different things you can use it for.

(I'm told that on these video posts, I sometimes drop spoilers in the second paragraph, so watch the video before you read on.) I just want to say that while I'm impressed that he really did wedge the iPhone in the door, I'm a little less impressed by the iPhone dropping out of frame in the hockey shot. I know your secret, Ben! That iPhone's not really bricked! But the video is still funny.

Papercraft iPhone update to 1.1.1

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Oct 1st, 2007

Pie.Phage dropped us an updated version of the papercraft iPhone, complete with the WifiTunes music store. He didn't create it, he says-- he just updated the old design. Sure, for those of you who actually have iPhones, this is lame, but for those of us who haven't been able to take the plunge yet, either for financial reasons, contract situations, or just a lack of time to get to the Apple Store (I'm moving tomorrow, ok?), we want our phones updated, too.

There are a few problems being reported, however. Apparently, after updating to 1.1.1 on the papercraft iPhones, the screen still doesn't work-- the buttons are frozen in place, and the whole design of the thing is pretty flimsy. Hopefully papercraft Apple and papercraft Jobs are working on a way to work out the wrinkles (ha! I kill me).

Thanks, Pie!

iPhone firmware 1.1.1 may break unlocks

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Sep 14th, 2007

Mac Rumors is reporting that iPhone 1.1.1 is due soon (duh), and they say that it'll bring an International Keyboard, some extra settings for the Home button, the likely WiFi store update, and an update to the Modem Firmware. As usual, this is a rumor, so don't hold your breath-- this could be coming next week or next month.

But there is a little twist that Mac Rumors missed. An iPhone hacker birdie tells me that their open source software unlock actually patches the Modem Firmware to do its thing. Which means that if the Modem Firmware gets a significant upgrade, it's very, very likely that it's game over for the current unlocks.

Now, I'm not sure how iPhoneSIMFree's unlock works-- as far as I know, this might only affect the open source iUnlock app. But while Apple has said they're taking a neutral stance against hackers, AT&T may have pressured them to push back against an unlock. As we've known all along, Apple could choose to update the firmware and break any hacks so far, and with a large upgrade to the Modem Firmware, that could be exactly what they've done.
