Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a free bagpipe ringtone for your iPhone!
Above: Bill puts the “Mac” in “McEvoy”. Yeah, we know St. Patrick’s Day isn’t until Monday, but we also know our readers are raging alcoholics, and will likely begin drinking at 5PM this afternoon (if they haven’t already), and not stop until sometime after Labor Day. So, in an effort to give you guys something stupid to do in between blackouts, we’ve had Macenstein‘s head bagpiper, Bill McEvoy, whip up us an iPhone-compatible... Read More
iEmulator for iPhone/iPod touch – Finally, the “I Love You” virus can run on the iPhone
Above: that’s right, we’re assuming if Windows DOES ever run on the iPhone, the auto-rotate feature won’t work (actually, we were just too lazy to do a proper Photoshop job). iEmulator has announced that thanks to Apple’s recently announced iPhone SDK, it will be able to bring a Windows emulator to the iPhone by the 2nd quarter of this year.

Redefining “geekiness” – Watch the iPhone’s clock “spring ahead” for Daylight Saving Time
Man, I wish I could say this is the geekiest thing that I’ve done, but I can’t… (iPhone users click here to watch the video) Well, there you go. I think it’s now safe to say that every possible aspect of the iPhone that CAN be covered, HAS been covered. So let’s all just move along to something else, people. Read More
iPhone getting a “virtual reality headmount” – take THAT RIM!
Above: Box Fab may have finally found a way to make the iPhone not cool. Well, out of all the “guess what we’re gonna do” press releases to come from 3rd party developers following the iPhone SDK announcements, this one is certainly one of the most ambitious. BOX FAB has announced 3 crazy ideas it claims to have secured an “exclusive licensing award” for, the most controversial of which is: “a virtual reality head-mount which the iPhone... Read More
New “unlimited” iPhone plan has same old embarrassing SMS limits
As someone with no friends, the basic 450 minute iPhone calling plan with its 200 text messages is more than adequate for my needs. However, each time I go to the movies (by myself) I notice the throngs of teens (with friends) text messaging each other, quite often texting the person sitting next to them. It actually seems these days that text messaging is more important in a phone than the actual ability to make a call. Because of this, I find it odd that AT&T’s... Read More
Thank god they fixed the round “equals” button!
Lest anyone think that Apple’s iPhone team was solely focused on the SDK today, faithful Macenstein reader Art Vandelay has noticed a few minor but I am sure VERY IMPORTANT differences between the home screen in iPhone 2 Beta and the current 1.1.4 we mortals are forced to run. First up The Calculator icon Apple has decided to make the “equals” button square, along with the rest of the buttons. The equals button in particular has been a big problem for Apple... Read More
Report: The Giants of Switzerland to get bizarrely tiny iPhones on April 4th?
hardmac has published the bizarre photo above alongside an article with alleged details of a Swizz iPhone launch on April 4th. The iPhone’s Swiss carrier is alleged to be Swisscom, and according to this photo, the Swiss iPhone apparently will have fewer and larger icons on the screen, perhaps to accommodate the giant fingers of the Swiss. 🙂 Thanks to faithful Macenstien reader Kelly [via 9to5mac] Read More
Freeverse “calling dibs” on certain iPhone games?
This kind of struck me as weird. With the official iPhone SDK announcement just hours away, Freeverse has made a pre-announcement, outlining some of the games it hopes to bring to the iPhone when the SDK is officially launched. While we await the official SDK from Apple, here are the titles that we’re thinking about: Flick Sportsâ„¢ Using the iPhone’s unique flick/pinch feature, we’re working on Golf, Bowling, Soccer, and Baseball (to start). Fun, colorful... Read More
Brtiney dumps boyfriend, then dumps his iPhone in the pool
Above: Good Lord! Does anyone remember when this was Britney spears? According to the gossip rag The Sun, Britney Spears has shown signs of regaining her senses, and has allegedly dumped her goonish paparazzi boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. The lover’s spat occurred when Britney found incriminating text messages from a female friend of Ghalib’s on his iPhone, causing her to subsequently throw said iPhone into a nearby pool. According to the report, Ghalib didn’t try... Read More
If only Russia were still a super-power…
According to faithful Macenstein reader Kelly, it appears that the iPhone is about to do what a truck full of Reagans couldn’t – namely, deal communism a death blow. Medvedev was (allegedly) spotted with an iPhone at last year’s “Transformers” premiere. The Weekly Standard is reporting that recently elected (as in, yesterday) Russian President Dmitri Medvedev is an iPhone user, despite the fact that the iPhone is not officially (or legally) available...
