iPhone Techie

Fist thing I want to say is “I’m Sorry” for not posting any news on iPhoneTechie site, especially news about the new iPhone 4, Jailbreak for iPhone 4, How to Jailbreak iOS4 or Unlock the iPhone 05.12.01 Basebands on iPhone 2G, 3G or iPhone 3GS.

We had a family reunion at Ocean City Maryland all week this week so I was pretty busy playing in the sand with my son (Lukas) and getting some sun with my awesome (HOT) wife Katie and chilling with the family of course. We did some fishing, eating, playing, swimming, etc.

PS: Fishing SUCKED because all I caught was a “STING RAY”… Great fight but not a keeper, naturally this bastard swallowed the hook, so by the time I got it out the STING RAY was “DEAD” See Picture below… (CLICK to see a full image)

It WAS a hectic week but I don’t regret a thing about it. Family comes FIRST in my house and that’s why iPhoneTechie was put on hold for a week. I’m back now so get ready for some major updates, news, Jailbreak Tutorials and much more.

My iPhone 4 will be shipped on July 2nd and once I get that thing in my hands I will do the complete unboxing video and other tutorials and “RAW” sample images and videos as well.

iPhoneTechie is BACK… Don’t go anywhere, I will be updating my site tomorrow. (Sunday)

An Apple representative has clarified that the new FaceTime video calls won’t use up carrier minutes, even when a video chat is originated during a phone call.

The news, highlighted report by Dan Frommer of Silicon Alley Insider, means that users won’t have to worry about how long they talk when establishing video calls over WiFi.

“The voice call ends as soon as the FaceTime call connects,” Frommer wrote. “The FaceTime call is over WiFi so does not use carrier minutes.”

That’s good news for users with AT&T, as it means FaceTime won’t be dependent upon the quality or continuity of a background 3G mobile connection. Read more…
