R.I.P. Palm

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

Welcome back!
Come on, admit it: we all knew the Pre would not save Palm, didn’t we?
I mean, I must have bought/used Palm’s complete product line back in the 90s, but they really lost me with the Treo. They dropped the ball a few years ago when the competition started to do ‘proper’ USB, synced to [...]

A day without Flash

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

This is an experiment.
Disclaimer: This is NOT AT ALL about bashing Adobe or Flash, being an Apple fanboy or anything. I *love* Flash, FLEX, AIR and the rest of it, but I’m just not sure how much we need it *on web pages*.
(To my friends & colleagues developing in Flash: that experiment is probably not [...]

One more thing:

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

I really hope you were smart enough to buy the C64 Emulator for the iPhone while it was still available.

- Go to settings, enable “always show full keyboard”

- Go to the EXTRA keyboard and press RESET

iPhone 3GS: Jailbreak is GO!

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

George Hotz has done it again:
“Yes, this is what you’ve all been waiting for. A jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS. And it’s awesome. To get started right now, go to purplera1n.com. Download it. Make sure you have windows(but not 7), the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with 3.0 firmware. Connect your iPhone normally. [...]

You know, lots of us grew up with that, and we’d really like to conserve the memories.
