    April 30, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Download, Microsoft, News, Rants & Raves, Tech. Tags: App, blog, iOS, iPhone, Microsoft, Porting Tool, Windows Phone 7, WP7 No Responses

    In an effort to grow Marketplace one of Microsoft’s main strategies have been to make it easy for developers to bring their popular iPhone applications to Windows Phone 7. This comes an attempt to catch up with Apple App Store & Android Market that are full of quality applications.

    As WMPowerUser reports, Microsoft has now launched an iPhone/iOS to Windows Phone 7 API mapping tool to helps developers more easily translate their applications to the Windows phone 7 API. With this tool, iPhone developers can take their apps, pick out the iOS API calls, and quickly look up the equivalent classes, methods and notification events in WP7. A developer can search a given iOS API call and find the equivalent WP7 along with C# sample codes and API documentations for both platforms.

    Microsoft is also providing a 90+ pages “Windows Phone 7 Guide for iPhone Application Developers” white paper to get developers up and running.

    M.I.C Gadget posts two images of what to appear as a white iPhone with a larger display, possibly the alleged 3.7 Inch according to the rumors emerged recently. The images seem way legitimate. it appears to be closer to 3.7 inches than 4 inches. Of note, the image features a white iPhone bezel with Apple’s new proximity sensor.

    The device we seeing here is surely not the white iPhone 4 which appeared in the UK last week. Yes, it has the new proximity sensor, same as the white iPhone 4. Anyway, maybe this is the prototype iPhone with an A5 processor that game developers are using to prepare their iPhone 5 apps.

    iPhone 5′s with larger displays have long been rumored with being 4 inches, edge-to-edge display and Joshua Topolsky saying 3.7 inches.

    April 21, 2011 // Gradly // Apple, blog, Conspiracies, Download, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves, Tech. Tags: blog, iOS, iPhone, Jailbreak, Location Data, Logs, Secret No Responses

    Jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich has released a new jailbreak utility called untrackerd, which manages to block iOS and Apple’s ability to track your device’s location information. this application comes after the discovery that Apple’s iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner’s computer when the two are synchronised.  which in turn let anybody with access to your phone or computer get detailed information about where you’ve been. Untrackerd is available for free on the Cydia

    Untrackerd’s description in Cydia:

    This package installs a daemon (process that can run in the background) to clean consolidated.db file) No new icons are added to your homescreen. There are no options to configure.
