Your iPhone 3G/3GS running a little slow on iOS 4? You can fix this by installing a simple SBSettings controller, that will disable all backgrounding tasks, and hence make your phone faster. This will of course disable multitasking and fast app switching, but you will have faster phone.

To install this, simply open up Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone and search for Background Remover SBSetting and install it. After this you need to enable the ‘kill switch’ in SBSettings.


Frash was yesterday released as a downloadable .deb package, but it needed a few extra steps to install. Now, it has been added to a repository, for easier installation via Cydia. You simply need to add http://repo.benm.at to your sources list in Cydia, and after that you should be able to search and install Frash 0.02.

Pretty easy way to enable Flash on your iPhone 4, isn’t it?

Twitter for iPhone

Twitter for iPhone 4 got updated to version 3.0.2. Here is the official changelog:

  • Fixes bug with Top Tweets in timeline
  • Fixes display bugs for iPhone 4
  • Localized to new languages (German, French, Spanish)

Here is a short video showing the execution/loading times between every iPhone on the market, starting from the iPhone 2G and ending in the iPhone 4.

BTW, pretty cool difference in black levels when you compare the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 (clearest difference at the end of the video where you can see them being shut-down).


Apple today announced its financial results for the second calendar quarter, and third fiscal quarter of 2010. Apple’s revenue is $15.7 billion, with a net profit of $3.25 billion. A year ago the revenue was $9.73 billion, and net profit $1.83 billion.

Apple shipped 3.47 million Macs, 8.4 million iPhones and 9.41 million iPods. Apple also sold 3.27 million iPads after it’s launch in April 2010.

“It was a phenomenal quarter that exceeded our expectations all around, including the most successful product launch in Apple’s history with iPhone 4,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “iPad is off to a terrific start, more people are buying Macs than ever before, and we have amazing new products still to come this year.”

“We’re really pleased to have generated over $4 billion of cash during the quarter,” said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple’s CFO. “Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter of 2010, we expect revenue of about $18 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $3.44”

Windows Live Messenger iPhone 4 International

Windows Live Messenger for iPhone is now available in international App Stores.

The application appeared today at least in the Finnish App Store. Leave a comment if you notice that it is also available in your country.


The iOS 4.0 will be available to download in just a few hours (10 AM PST) from now. If you can’t wait till that, take a look at the video above. It goes through the major new features in iOS 4.0 (previously iPhone OS 4.0).


Apple hasn’t actually told much about the technical specifications of the iPhone 4. We for instance don’t know the speed of the CPU, and until today we haven’t known the amount of RAM it carries. The 3G has 128MB, the 3GS has 256MB and the iPad has 256MB. Apple told at the WWDC to developers that the iPhone 4 will have 512MB RAM, and the image above is from WWDC to prove this. If you are a registered Apple developer, check out the WWDC video called ‘Session 147, Advanced Performance Optimization on iPhone OS, pt 2′.

The amount of RAM will ensure a snappy multi-tasking experience.
