Check out the video and see it in action:
NOTE: For those using jailbroken iPhone, you can also use SSH to transfer any file over WiFi network easily. Check out this post for further instruction.
Update #2:
A quick fix for some (works only if you have apt7 installed)
Passengers also reported restrictions for the last hour of their flight, no one could get out of their seats, and no one could have anything on their laps — no blanket, no pillow, no magazine, not even an iPod.
The original iPhone was released on June 29, 2007 and required an exclusive contract with carrier AT&T. It has since been rumored that this contract with AT&T could expire in 2010. If WWDC 2010 does take place on June 28, 2010, Apple might use the event to announce an additional carrier for the US.

To bring this feature to iPhone, Retronyms works with a phone company to provide the recording service and that limits the call recording service available in U.S. only and requires per-minute charges. Despite that, the call recording feature is still a great feature for iPhone users.
Note: For most countries, it’s illegal to record the phone calls without informing the other party. So, make sure you let the other party know that the call is being recorded.
The Recorder app is now available at App Store for US$0.99. You can click this direct iTunes link to purchase it.
Here are the list of features as described by EA:
Foldable, travel-friendly keyboards have been supported for at least a half of a decade by all smartphones, except by the iPhone. That is a shame, as the the iPhone is a compact computer you already carry around.
Why Apple doesn’t allow us to pair iPhone with Bluetooth keyboard? Anyhow, with a jailbroken iPhone and this hack, you can now use an external Bluetooth keyboard with iPhone.
The driver supports both iPhone 3G and 3GS, as well as, all iPod touch devices with Bluetooth support. For iPhone 2G, as claimed by the developer, it may not work properly.
I’m awaiting the release of full version of the Bluetooth keyboard driver. Pairing iPhone with a real keyboard is really great! By combining a portable Bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone, I can write blog post or take note anytime without carrying the laptop. Apple should consider to bundle this driver in the next iPhone OS update.It has been widely reported recently that the size of the tablet is 10″, but there was also talk about a 7″ model. Our connect said there is 100% a 7″ Apple tablet, to be announced in January, and whether this is in addition to a 10″ model, they don’t know. Would we bet the farm on this? No, but they’ve been amazingly accurate for us in the past and as usual, Apple rumors seem to get more interesting…
The Financial Times also believes the announcement for the Apple Tablet will come in January. The WSJ points to a March release date.

comScore has found that about 36 million Americans own a smartphone, while another 196 million own a traditional cell phone. The numbers are meant to represent actual ownership and use of devices, rather than sales.
The milestone has been expected. In August, it was revealed that the iPhone, for the first time, outsold all Windows Mobile phones in the second quarter of 2009. Globally, Apple had a 13.7 percent share of the market, while Windows Mobile took just 9 percent during that frame.
The iPhone’s Web presence has been particularly impressive, according to studies. One in November found that the iPhone was responsible for half of all mobile data traffic worldwide. That’s well ahead of Symbian (25 percent), Android (11 percent), RIM (7 percent) and Windows Mobile (3 percent).
The most recent comScore data allegedly represents the first study released since the debut of the iPhone 3GS in June. The numbers also include the Palm Pre, though its webOS operating system reportedly has not achieved enough of an install base to appear.
In July, Microsoft held a slight lead over Apple, by less than 30,000 total units. But three months later, Windows Mobile had added less than a half-million users, while the iPhone had gained more than 2.2 million. The totals represent a three-month average ending in October of U.S. mobile subscribers aged 13 and up. Respondents were asked to indicate the phone they own.

If you haven’t already blown your extra spending cash on the must-have iPod beanie (insert sarcasm here), perhaps a more worthwhile investment would be a cool new gadget from Dexim.
Although many iPhone and iPod users have a Dexim dock for charging their mobile devices, the accessory makers recently unveiled a new device that puts the iPhone/iPod front and center in your home entertainment setup. Best of all, the Dexim DRA022 is not only an entertainment dock, it also incorporates the familiar battery extender we’ve come to know and love from Dexim.
From TechNewsWorld:
Using the WiFi capabilities of the iPhone or iPod touch, an operator can surf the Net, showcase photos, and display video on a high-definition television at a resolution of 720i, as well as listen to music on a home stereo system
The dock. which retails for about eighty bucks, arrives with a component AV cable, mini HDMI cable, and a USB AC adapter. So no matter what your need is in the moment – connecting to a TV, charging your handset, or synchronizing with a computer – the dock has you covered. The dock also comes with a nifty little remote control with a 30-foot range for selecting content, adjusting volume and controlling selections.

We’re sure this will be a hit for the holiday season: Apple recently updated one of the iPhone support articles, explaining how you can continue using an iPhone as a quasi-iPod touch, if you no longer have a cellphone contract with your carrier. Let’s give an example:
Your iPhone 3G contract was eligible for the upgrade pricing not too long ago, so you purchased an iPhone 3GS. You have your old iPhone 3G lying around the house with no purpose. Obviously, you could try and sell it… but maybe your child has been begging you for an iPod touch. Apple wants to see these devices be re-used and not thrown into the trash, so they’ve outlined how to activate your iPhone (1st gen, 3G or 3GS) in the article.
It all boils down to this: never get rid of your SIM card. For the iPhone 1st generation, you have to keep the original SIM card in place at all times. Without this, it will not activate in the next software update. The iPhone 3G and 3GS do not need a SIM card installed for day-to-day use. However, you still need a SIM card for the required activation after a software update.
This differs a bit from the iPhone 1st generation: with the iPhone 3G and 3GS you can use any SIM card from your authorized carrier. Either way, it’s silly not to leave the SIM card in each generation of iPhone as long as you don’t need the SIM card for your new phone. Now you won’t get stuck at the “Connect to iTunes” screen forever.

Ryan Petrich, developer of OverBoard, has announced ProSwitcher, another Palm Web OS inspired utility to navigate through the applications running in the background on your iPhone, much like MultiFl0w does, only much easier, faster and more intuitive. And to top it all off, it’s FREE andOpenSource! The app is also being developed with the help of chpwn. The project actually started out as PreSwitcher, but the Ryan thought the name may cause some trouble, so now we have ProSwitcher.
The app will use a library called libactivator and allow you to select from a number of gestures such as flick to close, swipe to scroll, tap to open. The app is said to use very little memory and only runs what is needed.
No word on official release, probably a few weeks, but you can easily find the beta or visit Ryan’s hub here: rpetrich’s Profile – GitHub. And obviously you will need a Jailbroken iPhone.
