Qik launches on Installer.app

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Aug 5th, 2008

A while back, Qik announced that they would be creating a video broadcast client for the iPhone. When they first announced it, Qik was only available in a limited beta to jailbroken phones. However, Qik has announced that all jailbroken 1.1.4 iPhones will be able to get the client through Installer.app. Since Apple hasn't yet allowed streaming video using the iPhone's camera, jailbreaking is the only way to use Qik.

Qik, as you may already know, is a way to broadcast live, streaming video from a mobile device. While they are not offering an App Store version of their client, you can download it via Installer.app by adding "http://qik.com/iphone1" to your sources list. If you are using iPhone 2.0 software, you might be able to downgrade to 1.1.4, however, the risks outweigh any advantages you might get.

There seems to be a growing field of jailbreak applications as Apple continues to disallow some SDK-built apps. Even though we have the official SDK, there are still too many limitations for some apps and their users.

Growl updated to 1.1.4, fixes "Install Failed" message in Leopard

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2008

It was only a couple weeks ago that Growl version 1.1.3 was released, but as some commenters noted on the 1.1.3 post, there was a bug that caused some the inability to install Growl under Leopard. Well, the Growl team has heard your cries and issued an update to Growl that hopes to solve the problem. Some of the bug fixes include:
  • "Install Failed" message on Leopard is now fixed
  • Fixed the problem of Growl thinking it was 1.1.2 even after installing 1.1.3
  • Fixed Growl updater to stop showing updates after you've already installed them
  • Growl Safari actually works now
You can see all of the improvements before installing by visiting the Growl Version History page. You can also download the new update by visiting Growl's homepage.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

iPod/iPhone firmware update 1.1.4 released

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Feb 26th, 2008

Just connected my iPhone to iTunes. More details as they come in.

1:30: I'm downloading the software now... To download directly, the direct links are iPhone and iPod. (Do let me know if I messed either of those up.)

I've decided that my wee little iPod touch will be the update fodder this time--remember last time all the trouble I ended up with when I basically fried my iPhone when going back to 1.1.1 after testing 1.1.3? The things I do for TUAW!

Help requested If any of you are in ADC, please see whether the SDK is available? Thanks!!
