Hey, they are still third party apps...
And yes, iPhone is not a useless device, its just been launched without exploring the finer elements.
I think apple needs to start an Application Certification system for iPhone, so that people can get their apps to be registered for being safe to use on an iPhone, otherwise people may end up voiding guarentee thanks to bad apps.

Anyway, I guess the iPhone is picking up pace, almost like the EEE PC.

I can't wait now for a full-fledged Linux Distribution to hit the iPhone, and also for the iPhone to come in a 7" Screen Tablet PC version, with a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM.

Without need, creation will stop. And so will innovation.

Innovation needs Criticism to exist. Its the law of Human Developement.

Any critic who wishes to be taken seriously should acknowledge and appreciate the pros before decrying the flaws.

Atleast some people r dere who really appreciate innovations

People can also say
Nokia is a crap !!!

I still hate calling apple innovative. They are just user friendly and give products based on what we need, but they still can't be called innovative.

agreed.
but the Xo-1 laptop looks somewhat innovative, for being the first to use the idea of flash drives and some of its simple yet effitient techniques to reduce power consuption.

An extra question: why is this unbelieivable news? And why is this in the technological news section? next thing you know, each and every software released will find a place here

A Mobile Device, having a Playstation Emulator, is not something you see every day ! This further shows the 3D Capabilities of the iPhone !

Some other threads here which really didn't belong to Tech Section and some of them you've personally thanked for :roll:

1. the iPod has a gba emulator
2. the eee pc has a gba, nes, gb, snes, psx emulator

and yes, I thanked them because telling them off will be rude...(or to increase post count)

anyway, I call for a cleaning up of the tech news forum.

Thats what the point is ! How can you even compare the Graphics of a GBA with a PS1 ???

what about the eee?

The EEE PC has 256Mb DDR2 RAM + a 900MHz Processor ! Ever heard of hardware capabilities ? The PS1 Emulator for this is no big deal as the hardware is pretty powerful. But for a Device as small as the iPhone with limited Hardware its not that easy to try and make a PS1 Emulator !

Even the PS1 Emulator for the PSP was made possible only by Sony themselves. Almost all 3rd Party efforts were in vain :roll:

go read the hardware specs for the iphone first.

A 600Mhz Processor....running at 400Mhz with BUS Frequency 100Mhz, 116 Mb RAM out of which user has access to 92.16 Mb.

Thats all !

Ha! Ha! Good one. 8)

Please dont call them 3rd party apps.. There are no legal 3rd party apps for the iphone.

all are installed via jailbreak. a new update can make the iphone into an ibrick. just be careful.

Ohh is it ? Then according to you 3rd Party Apps are Illegal ? Wake up bro ! All applications are Perfectly LEGAL and Freeware. Some are even OpenSource :roll: The Police are not gonna catch you if your iPhone has 3rd Party Applications

^^^

The official SDK for Apple iPhone is to be released only during February 2008
and long after that only you will be getting native 3rd party apps which have to pass the Apple code verification/signature program like the way Symbian does.

*developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/third_party_apps.php

the so called '3rd party apps' you are referring to are illegal and can only be installed by jailbreaking (read: unlocking) the iPhone.

also using unlocked iphone is illegal. since ppl were buying in large quantities, unlocking them and selling them abroad, Apple introduced security measures like buying only through 'credits cards' and accepting no cash etc. etc.

so yeah, if you are using the iPhone in India, it is Illegal as it is not officially launched. and if you update to the latest released firmware before unlocking softwares are updated, you run a high risk of bricking the iphone.

I'm wide awake and you now know who is drowsy.

Here is a bucket of water. wash your face

I think you need to understand the Definition of "Illegal" !

adj.

1. Prohibited by law.
2. Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.

3rd Party Applications are not Prohibited by Law nor any Official Rules. No one can do a fish if you have them installed in your iPhone.

The only thing you can say is they're not Officially Supported by Apple. Thats IT ! You cannot term them Illegal !

Unlocking ones own iPhone again is NOT Illegal ! Once you purchased any item, it your personal property ! You can do whatever the fish you wanna do with it ! No one can take you to the Court for that !

JailBreaking doesn't mean Unlocking ! Unlocking is a totally different thing wherein the Baseband is patched inorder to work with other Carriers. JailBreaking is simply getting root access to the System inorder for 3rd Party Applications to get installed.

A JailBreaked-only iPhone should not Brick if updated !

3'rd Party apps 'might' void your warranty though .

These hackers are a boon for us Consumers, aren't they ?

Hey my PSP has 333MHz CPU and 64MB RAM and it can play PS1 games!
No big deal..

And do you know who made that PS1 Emulator ?

No I don't know..

Google for other 3rd party PS1 emulators for PSP.. Sony made it because they wanted to make some money.
So, PS1 emulator for iPhone is not a big deal since it has a powerful CPU. Whats big deal is it came out pretty fast! That means developers are very keen to utilize iPhone's capability... Impressive

I promise you that there'll be at least fifty quality third party authorised applications out within one week of the launch of the SDK. You guys have no clue how the Apple universe revolves. Wait and watch.

Dude, its no big deal that there will be 50 3rd party apps after iPhone SDK is released. The same thing is true for any popular gadget. So don't be a frog in the well type of guy talking about apple stuff.
