ipod touch Apple Working on 3D iPod Touch?

3D display technology has been receiving quite a bit of buzz lately thanks to the immersive experience it provides consumers. However, due to the fact that the hardware is still priced quite high it has yet to really catch on, not to mention the fact that you’ve got to wear those dorky glasses. Luckily, devices like the Nintendo 3DS which utilize glasses-free 3D screens are just over the horizon at a somewhat palatable price (~$300).

While there haven’t been many other portable devices that utilize these screens rumors have been circulating that Apple may be working on a 3D iPod Touch. Of course, there is virtually no official evidence to back this up but our sources do point to the fact that Apple holds several different patents regarding 3D technology. This would make sense, however, if Apple were to be targeting Nintendo directly in the gaming segment as they have done in the past.

Whatever the case may be we won’t know until someone involved in the matter comes forth to speak so we’ll have to keep you posted.

iphone 4 facetime miTime Updated: Activate FaceTime on Unofficial Carriers

One of the problems with using the iPhone 4 on an unofficial carrier is you lose the ability to FaceTime. Enter MiTime. MiTime is an application available for jailbroken iPhones that activates FaceTime on unlocked iPhone 4s that are running on unofficial/unsupported carriers, such as T-Mobile USA.

The app was first introduced back in August of 2010 and now it has been updated with support for iOS 4.1 and 4.2.1. It works by sending two international SMS messages to activate FaceTime. It is currently the only way to activate FaceTime on unofficial carriers, and in my opinion, it’s definitely worth it.

Follow the guide below to activate FaceTime on your unlocked iPhone 4…

If you’re operating on an unofficial carrier (such as T-Mobile USA), you will need to fully activate your iPhone 4. To do this you must install SAM from Cydia. If your iPhone is already activated with SAM, skip to step 5.

Step 1: Install SAM (Subscriber Artificial Module) on your jailbroken iPhone. To do this, launch Cydia, go to Manage > Sources > Edit > Add, and type in: http://repo.bingner.com

Tap on Add Source.

Step 2: After you have added the source, Go to “Search”, and type in “SAM”. Download and install.

Step 3: Once installed, go to Settings > SAM > De-Activate. You will get a message that your iPhone is De-Activated. Now, Tap on Revert Lock Down.

Step 4: Connect your iPhone via USB and launch iTunes. Once you get a Message that your iPhone is Activated, then you are fully activated with iTunes.

Step 5: From the homescreen, Launch Cydia, go to Manage > Sources > Edit > Add, and type in: http://cydia.pushfix.info

Tap on Add Source

Step 6: After you have added the source, go to “Search”, and type in “MiTime”. Download and install.

Step 7: Launch MiTime, Tap on Agree – You will notice that MiTime will start collecting data and will show you a message that it’s compatible, and FaceTime activation is possible.

NOTE: You must be able to receive and send international text messages. Additional fees may apply.

Step 9: Once MiTime is purchased, relaunch MiTime. It should say ‘Activated’ & ‘MiTime Purchased’ (pictured below).

You can now FaceTime with your family and Friends using your unlocked iPhone 4!

Here are some notes from the developer of MiTime:

Once purchased, you can change SIMs or phones 3 times and still be recognized as a purchaser, but you can’t change both SIM & phone at same time. If you change both at the same time, please contact me on twitter or respond to the Paypal email receipt with information about your situation (or please consider re-purchasing).

Have you used MiTime before? How did it work for you?

500x jengaiphoneapps 280x210 Jenga comes to the iPhone, but why?I’m not certain why in the world you would want to put Jenga on an iPhone or iPad, but here it is.

You can use Touch gameplay to move a block, and you can even get others to play with you. It also includes leaderboards, achievements, and easy friend comparisons.

Of course this raises the question of why a game that is a bunch of wooden blocks be made into an iPhone game. It costs $2.99 if you want it.
