Free iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware Available

Source: http://informationweek.com/

This afternoon, Apple made the 1.1.4 firmware update for the free iPhone available for download. The update is a 162-MB file. So far, no known new features have been spotted with the upgrade, but it is believed to support the as-yet-to-be-released SDK. Stay tuned for more details.

I am in the middle of downloading the update right now. It's taking forever via my wireless modem. 22 minutes to go and counting.

According to user reports on The Unofficial Apple Weblog, there are no new features found on free iPhones updated to the new firmware, and no one has been able to locate the SDK from Apple.

It looks like today might have been the original day planned for the SDK to go live, but as we know, it has been delayed a bit. Stay tuned for more info once the firmware update is complete.

After waiting about 20 minutes for the update to download, I began the update process. It took about 10 minutes from start to finish for the free iPhone to update the firmware, reboot, and reactivate itself on the network. I didn't have any problems, though some users have reported random errors during the update process.

I have checked every last screen on the phone, and from what I can tell (which is in line with other user reports) there are no new features included with this update. According to the Apple text file, the update only provided "bug fixes." Which bugs it fixed, Apple did not clarify. Some users, however, are reporting improvements with the way multiple Web pages will load in the Safari browser.

TUAW's Erica Sadun took a close look under the hood at the new build's frameworks, and reports that there are no new ones and it appears that nothing was added.

Most people suspect--as do I--that the update lays the groundwork for the free iPhone to support SDK-developed apps. Of course, the SDK is still not available, so this won't be confirmed until it is.

One thing of note to all you free iPhone jailbreakers out there. The Zfree iPhone jailbreaking software does indeed work. That means you don't have to wait for a new hack to unlock 1.1.4, the same unlocking tool you used for 1.1.3 will open up 1.1.4.

BBC Teases on Super-Secret Free PS3

BBC Teases on Super-Secret Free PS3

Source: http://www.next-gen.biz/

A BBC writer is apparently privy to some top secret information regarding a 2009 free PlayStation 3 game. What could it be?

BBC dot.life blogger Darren Waters wrote Sunday about a highly optimistic Sony following last week's Game Developers Conference. Even though Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison is leaving SCE, things are looking up for the company.

For instance, the console in January was able to capitalize on free Xbox 360 and free Wii supply constraints in the US to beat Microsoft's console by around 30,000 units and come within striking distance of Nintendo's popular free Wii. And Blu-ray's win in the format wars has also been a bright spot in recent weeks.

The system will also be seeing upcoming software like Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, LittleBigPlanet and of course, free iPhone.

But Waters spoke of another game that he said left him "speechless." And he can't say anything about it:

"So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the unlocked iPhone console will be capable of.

"In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.

"I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless. If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony contract free iphone people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.

"And there I'll leave it. Feel free to speculate on what I was shown. I cannot, of course, confirm or deny what it was....".

Jon Stewart enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia on the Oscar stage last night on his free Apple iPhone.

"If you missed it, we won't spoil the joke for you. But even after Stewart's cultural nod/low blow to the free iPhone, [Apple CEO Steve Jobs] got the last laugh as he was thanked later during Pixar's Best Animated Film acceptance speech," Mark Wilson reports for Gizmodo. "PC fanboys, you just really can't win with an unlocked iPhone."

free iPhone SDK May Be 1-3 Weeks Late

Source: http://mobile.slashdot.org/

According to a blog posting at BusinessWeek.com, the free iPhone SDK could be pushed back by another 1-3 weeks. Unfortunately, the evidence provided, such as the media announcements that are usually made before most free iPod Touch releases, suggests that this may indeed be true. Apple usually sticks to their unlocked iPhone announced deadlines, however they have been known to break them occasionally.

BBC iPlayer to Be Available on the free iPod Touch and the free iPhone

That iPlayer seems to be shaping up to be better and better. And the BBC seem to be getting increasingly cosy with Apple. The latest announcement from the BBC is that the iPlayer programmes are going to be available on the free iPod Touch and the free iPhone. You'll be able to stream the programmes when you're in a WiFi hotspot (although not when away from one, due to EDGE being far too slow for such things).

Yes, you have to be in a WiFi area, but bearing in mind that all free iPhone and Touch users have free access to The Cloud's network, this is a Truly Great Thing. That's free BBC programmes over a free connection, people, rather than £1.89 a pop to download them from iTunes. It actually makes me want one of those iThings.

The new way to get a free iPhone

How to get a free iPhone

Every day new websites pop up offering free electrical goods and the internet is littered with people claiming to have received free games consoles, free iPhones, free iPods and even laptops and Plasma HDTVs.

As hard as that may be to believe, the majority of those claims are true. This article attempts to put the record straight and explain how!

How can it be possible to give expensive goods away for nothing?

The phenomenon of referral marketing allows consumers to receive highly sought after free goods through what are essentially advertising websites (known as a referrals website).

It's probably best to illustrate this with an example. Let's say you decide to sign up to get a free iPod Shuffle:

The first thing you will be asked to do is take out an advertiser's offer. If you are based in the UK, recommended offers include a free, no obligation DVD rental by post trial with LOVEFiLM or maybe a free ringtone download; most US sites carry similar offers with Blockbuster and various other well known and respected sponsors.
Step two is to refer others to repeat the process (hence the term “referrals website”). An iPod Shuffle would typically require just two referrals and we all have a couple of friends who could be persuaded to take up their own DVD rental trials.
Job done, just wait for the postman with your free iPod Shuffle!

This all seems very quick and easy but who are the winners? Why does it work?

Who	Spent	Received
You	Nothing, nil!	Some free DVD rentals and a free iPod Shuffle.
Referrals website	£40 on your iPod Shuffle.	Three commissions of between £20 and £30 each from the advertiser – Profit = up to £50
The advertiser (LOVEFiLM in this example).	£60 - £90; a drop in the ocean compared to a TV or newspaper campaign.	Three potential customers who have actually tried their service and may well like to keep it.

Referral rates vary depending on the item you are after but you get the idea – everybody wins

Do you have any proof?

What better testimonial could you want than real items received by real people - I Got My Free Item ; the system has proven so successful that it was also featured in a video podcast by the BBC's Newsnight program – take a look here

The Verdict

If you are willing to take up a free DVD trial or maybe a download a free ringtone, then, yes, you will be receiving free games consoles, iPods and even laptops and Plasma HDTVs in virtually no time at all!

O2 sells 190,000 Apple iPhones in UK in first 8 weeks

The Financial TImes is reporting that "people familiar with the situation" told them that O2's total Apple free iPhone sales in the UK for the first eight weeks was about 190,000. That's an average of 3,400 UK free iPhone sales per day over the first 8 weeks.

O2 said shortly before the free iPhone's UK launch that it expected handset sales of 200,000 in the first two months.

O2 declined to comment on the sales figures but said it was "delighted with the response to the free iPhone, which has seen unprecedented levels of customer satisfaction," FT reported.

The Apple free iPhone was O2's fastest-selling handset "by a significant margin," according to the report.

Free iPhone's UK sales disappoint

Free iPhone's UK sales disappoint

Source: www.theinquirer.net

IN A couple of leaks to the FT, O2 and independent reseller - the Carphone Warehouse - have conceded that free iPhone sales have disappointed.

The paper says that between Apple, O2 and the Warehouse, only about 190,000 handsets were sold in the first two months against a target of 200,000.

It's a bit of an embarrassment for some analysts - like Gartner - who had predicted the figure would be more like 350,000 - 400,000.

So what went wrong? As one dealer told the INQ, "The UK is one of the most sophisticated cellular markets in the world. We're not kids."

And quite a few Brits appear to be able to count. If you add the £630 for the minimum 18 month contract to the £269 cost of the free iPhone, you get £899.

Against this most Brits can get a handset on contract for free. Let's see. From 3 you can get 800 minutes and 300 texts for under £30 per month and you pay under £50 for an LG Viewty.

So the trio not only have to do something about the handset price, they have to make the tariff more attractive, too.

Analysts also didn't seem to take into account the impact of Apple's Itouch player.

When the INQ first saw the free iPhone, its video playback capability was by far its best feature.

Yet you can get an Itouch for free if you sign up on a contract with a phone retailer such as Onestopshop.

The Carphone Warehouse made an interesting admission, however. Having an exclusive on the free iPhone amongst retailers got the punters into the stores before Xmas.

It seems that most of them bought something else, though.
