iPhone Weekend Warrior: Dialling into Skype, jailbreaking OS 3.0 beta 2, and when iPhone 3G goes Pro

All righty then! We got some huge developments on the iPhone front this week – notwithstanding some interesting rumors too. For one, Skype‘s making waves on the iPhone already, and another thing, the clockwork is tick-tocking nearer to the final iPhone 3.0 release – with some jailbreaker apps in tow!

All righty then! We got some huge developments on the iPhone front this week – notwithstanding some interesting rumors too. For one, Skype‘s making waves on the iPhone already, and another thing, the clockwork is tick-tocking nearer to the final iPhone 3.0 release – with some jailbreaker apps in tow!

Big news, big news:

• iPhone finally gets Skype this week (and iPod Touch – given it’s a 2nd gen you have, plus a compatible headset+mic), have you downloaded it yet? Link.
• Skype was made available – right on schedule! – last Tuesday. Too bad it didn’t go as smooth as people wanted it to. Link.
• We’re getting closer to a final release of iPhone OS 3.0. The second beta version has already been released, and guuueeeesss what? (see next portion below!) Link.

Games and brew:

• iPhone 3.0 beta 2 has already been jailbroken! Link.
• …and part of the jailbreaking process requires RipDev‘s recently released Icy, an alternative to Cydia. Link.
• Guess who’s coming back to iPhone town? Following MGS Touch, Kojima says he wants to develop another game, this time something crazy. Link.
• Wrestlers are also about to go bite-sized. TNA will be released for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Link.
• Sony Pictures wants to join in the fun too – they’re planning to release some movie -tie-in games for the iPhone. Link.

The crossfire and some toilet humor:

• Resurrecting the rumor from back in January about a new iPhone, recent whispers are running rampant telling of a so-called iPhone 3G Pro slated for June. Link.
• Some pirates have been caught in a crossfire of sorts. It’s one pirating site competing with another. What’s an honest fellow to do? Link.
• To err is human, to fart, divine. Well, just so long as you keep things in check and avoid any potential legal matters about it. Link.

Catch you guys next week! Have a good one!
