My Free iPhone / iPod Touch

You may have noticed (unless you are visiting from an iPhone/iPod Touch) that we have a new look. The old look of the site was getting a little stale, so we decided to give a make over.

This is the Freshy 2.0 theme. It offers a wide variety of customizations. Enjoy the new look.

You can get a free Apple iPhone (or iPod Touch), just like I did. The steps are extremely easy:

1. Fill out a short form with your information.
2. Complete a simple exclusive offer or two.
3. Have a few friends do the same.
4. Click here (iPhone) or here (iPod Touch) to get started.

A new article (Analysis: Over 25% of iPhones unlocked) on MacNN states that over 25% of all the iPhones in the United States are used on networks other than AT&Ts network. This means that over a quarter of all iPhones were either unlocked or abandoned (when bricked). This is very interesting.

Apple has never been very forthcoming with the number of unlocked iPhones, but Reuters came up with this analysis by looking at the discrepancies between Apple’s numbers and AT&T’s numbers.

This news doesn’t really apply to getting a free iPhone, but it is interesting news. If you don’t want to switch to AT&T and want to unlock your (free) iPhone, just know that you are not alone. Also, according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) you are technically allowed to unlock your iPhone.

Another nice change in the 1.1.3 firmware update is that the Gmail portion of the Mail.app on the iPhone and iPod Touch now use IMAP (rather than POP) by default. Google posted (Important changes to email deletion on the iPhone mail client) this to their blog shortly after the MacWorld Keynote speech:

There’s a new software update for the iPhone. The next time you sync your iPhone with iTunes, your iPhone will be updated to version 1.1.3 of Apple’s software. It has a nice new feature — the built-in Mail app on the iPhone will now use IMAP to access your Gmail account, rather than POP, like it used to. IMAP is way better — it keeps your mail in sync wherever you read it. If you read a message on your iPhone, it will be marked as read in your Gmail account. If you move a message to a folder on your iPhone, it will be moved to that label in Gmail. If you delete a message on your iPhone, it will be moved to the Trash in Gmail and permanently deleted in 30 days. This is different than what used to happen! Before, deleting a message on the iPhone had no effect on your Gmail account. But now, delete actually deletes!

This is great. IMAP is certainly a better way to manage your mail. I am very happy that they (Apple or Google - whoever actually made the change) changed from POP to IMAP.

Steve Jobs’ MacWorld Keynote speech was yesterday. There wasn’t a lot of iPhone/iPod Touch news. No new versions of either gadget. Apple did release a new version of the iPhone/iPod Touch firmware (version 1.1.3).

This new version brings the ability to move around the home buttons, and a new enhanced maps feature. Apple also released a video to show off the new features. Check it out here: January ’08: Enhanced Maps and more.

This update also allows iPod Touch users to add some of the applications that are on the iPhone to the iPod Touch. You can add Mail, Maps, Web Clips, Customizable Home Screen, Stocks, Notes, and Weather to the iPod Touch. This functionality will come at a cost though. In order to get this, you’ll need to spend $20. All new iPod Touches will come with this functionality for free, but existing owners will have to pay for this. This is a little disappointing.

Other than that, there wasn’t much iPhone or iPod Touch news during the MacWorld keynote.

Yesterday, Google announced (New Gmail for the iPhone) a new Gmail interface for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

 

One of the new features is the auto-complete on email addresses. Now, you can add new email addresses in only a few keystrokes.  This new interface is a bit smoother than the old generic mobile interface. It is also much more response (thanks to the use of AJAX).

I noticed this yesterday and love the changes.
