Exchange Users on 2.2

Author: Tizocman // Category:
If You Use Exhange And Recentlly Updated To 2.2 You May Have Noticed That Your Battery Life Was Shorter And Your iPhone Was Heating Up. If So The Reason For This Is Because The 2.2 Update Does Not Agree With Current Exchange Settings. The iPhone Keeps Searching For Mail instead of Waiting for it to be Recieved thru Push. 
To Fix This Just Delete Your Exchange Account And Then Set It Up Again From Scratch.

DOOM

Author: Tizocman // Category:
iPhone DOOM has been in the works for over a year now with more or less success. For all of you that have been waiting for this for the last year it seems that the game is finally being refined into a more solid and playable version!

Steven Stroughton Smith of iphonedoom and Zodttd of Zodttd.com have been collaborating over the last few weeks to push out a playable iPhone DOOM! While it isn't perfect yet this version has controls that are quite a bit more usable than the previous public versions and the game's performance is quite good. The main problems for me on this version are the occasional crash and some issues navigating a couple menus. I'm sure Zodttd and Steven will be working consistently in the coming weeks to sort out bugs and polish the app up a bit.

The latest version is publically available via the Games section of Cydia for you to download. All you need to do is provide your own WAD files for Doom 1 or 2 and you'll be all good to go

MacMail.com are selling the iPod Touch(1st gen) $96 off and dont get up at 5 in the morning, you can buy it online. There are also lots of good deals on macbooks over there. But really you would be better off getting the second gen iPod Touch from Apple tomorrow because I’m sure they will be having a good deal. Griffin is having some good sales on their iPhone and iPod touch cases.

iPhone Gift Cards

Author: Tizocman // Category:
Since you can’t buy an iPhone 3G without signing up for an AT&T (or insert international carrier) contract, it kind of destroys the potential of giving an iPhone as a gift (cramming a whole kiosk into gift box would be killer!). So, what to do, what to do? TUAW says, Apple to the rescue!
Give someone an iPhone 3G Gift Card and when the lucky recipient comes in to redeem it, an Apple Retail Store Specialist will take care of every detail. The Specialist will get your recipient’s iPhone 3G up and calling, set up email, and help customize the Home screen, choose some great iPhone applications, personalize ringtones, and find favorite songs.
Does this make the iPhone 3G a more appealing gift possibility to anyone? Would opening an envelope and finding a shiny new iPhone 3G gift certificate, rather than an iPhone itself, be as glee worthy?

TV OUT

Author: Tizocman // Category:
The MPTVOutWindow class allows your iPhone to send its video to a connected TV rather than to the built-in screen. Intended to be used with movies, the unpublished class creates a live video feed that is sent out through the iPhone’s connector port. End-users will need to buy a video adapter or cable to use this functionality.
