A new front has opened in the ongoing arms race between Apple and iPhone hackers, with one hacker group making the iPhone boot with a Linux 2.6 kernel.
The announcement of the successful kernel porting was made on the Linux on the iPhone blog, complete with instructions and source code.
Although a bootloader, kernel and a Busybox terminal are able to be loaded -- many features of the iPhone remain unimplemented: touchscreen, sound, accelerometer, networking. Input to the terminal must be made via a USB interface from another device that the iPhone is attached to (humorously summed up by Geek Hero Comic).
The group that ported the kernel is derived from the iPhone DevTeam group that has been responsible for jailbreaking previous iPhone software.

Hi everyone.
Ok, Ill try to explain this as best as I can.
When I tried to download anything from the app store, it said my username/password was incorrect (which it was totally correct- I checked on my iTunes account several times). I got fed up with this, so I created a brand new iTunes account. After doing this, the password and everything worked fine.
Fast forward to the current issue- some of my apps require updates. When I try to update them (either one by one or using the update all option), it brings up my OLD iTunes account name even AFTER I sync it with my iTunes on my computer logged in with the NEW iTunes account. Thus, I am unable to update any of the apps. I can download new ones without an issue, though.
Any feedback? I hope I explained that alright.
Thanks!

Do you have a aol account? cause if you have a aol account and you are using your aol screen name to login it will have issues with 3.0 because it doesnt have the option to chose aol on the iphone like the computer does if that is the case you are going to have to call 1800-694-7466 and request that they turn your aol account to a apple id which they can do without changing anything except for you will login as a apple id instead of aol.

If I enable MMS in the properties, will I still be able to send a normal SMS or will this message be sent as MMS as well?
Ive nowhere found a button or a slider that lets you choose at the time of sending.
Or is it only sent as MMS if I fill in the topic?

This is a brilliant question. I tried all but found no other way than enabling/disabling MMS messaging in settings.
I can not believe that this is the only phone where I can not select the type of messaging. At least I would have expected some intelligent logic to select the correct message type. E.g. just plain text -> send as SMS.
Apparently something is not thought well in this area or just missing from GM.

My experience with exchanging MMS is very limited to say the least. The dumb phones I have used in the past that supported exchanging MMS included a separate send new text msg, or send new pic msg option.
I guess if I selected the send new pic msg option but I didnt attach a photo - I sent text only, it would be sent and received as an MMS? Since the messaging plans Ive had included SMS and MMS, there wasnt an additional charge or a separate charge for MMS, I never paid any attention to it.
Hopefully the iPhones new SMS/MMS client included with firmware update 3.0 will send a text only message as an SMS. If a photo, video, vCard, sound file, etc is included, the message will be sent as an MMS without having to constantly select SMS or MMS for every message sent.

Ok, I figured out the stuff by now:
If you enter anythin in the subject or if you insert an image or a movie, it is sent as MMS, otherwise its sent as SMS.

I have an iPhone 3g - not the newest version - with the new 3.0. When I go into Contacts and then find a contact I want to add as a favorite, the only options it displays is Text Message or Share Contact. There is no add as favorite. What gives?
Thanks!

The Add to Favorites tab doesnt show if the contact is already a favorite - should show a star next to the number - or if there isnt a telephone # in the contact (email and physical addresses obviously cant be favorite numbers for the phone app). If the entry isnt already a favorite, and is a telephone #, you need to restore the phone in iTunes.

Anyone having this issue? I had a 2G unlocked for almost a year on tmobile and never had one issue aside from loss of service.
I upgraded to the 3G 3 days ago and switched to at&t and this problem persists on my second phone now.
I can send/recieve texts as normal. Use the 3g data as normal. make calls as normal. But unexpectedly without warning, it will just stop working completely. I cant send texts, cant use the internet, cant make calls. And the only remedy is either turning on and off airplane mode, or restarting the phone. This happened with the first iphone i got when i started the contract, so i exchanged it for another one today, and its the same issue. So its obviously not hardware. This was happening on 3.0 with the first phone, as well as 2.2.1 on this phone (havent upgraded to 3.0 yet).
Short of a sim card issue, which i highly doubt is the problem, im out of ideas. Called AT&T today and they told me to exchange the phone, they said its not a network issue, so thats why im on phone #2. Tried resetting and verifying the SMS call center number, to no avail. Its correct. Turned off location services, no change. etc

My old Casio organizer had an alarm that I always set for appt.s in the
future, where I would get a nice full alarm to remind of that days
specific appt.
Looks like an oversight , but I phone does not have this feature, only a little
worthless chirp can be set, which cannot be heard by a normal human.
any ideas on how to make the full Alarm tones engage while setting a future
calendar date?

This needs to be addressed soon. I like the alerts that repeat every 5 minutes until dismissed.
