jQTouch: iPhone/iTouch developement

November 2nd, 2009 Jigish Thakar No comments

jqtouch

hi friends, was reading some blog and found something really interesting for developing iPhone applications. basically jQTouch is a jquery plugin for mobile web development on the iPhone, ipod touch.

if you are using iphone/itouch you ll know that if site is designed as per its resolution then it looks nice on these device and also it becomes easy to navigate. but jQTouch is something beyond designing. it also gives you the feel of ipohne application. like this plugin uses jquery all over and it gives exact effect on web page as we get on iphone/itouch applications.

now a days most of the iphone applications are like this only which are of very small size (in KBs). basically these applications are just a browser’s shortcut and also they play little with safari’s property, like disabling address bar and few more options which gives a look like application not some site browsing.

to download jQTouch click here

My first jailbreak

September 8th, 2009 Jigish Thakar 1 comment
iphone-jailbreak

So finally today is a day to jailbreak my apple itouch 2g. It comes with OS 2.0 and few bugs and missing features

Let’s first talk about bugs which I faced. On the very first day i installed few application ( luckily free ) and very next day when I sync my device all my application stops working and that was the most annoying thing I ever faced on itouch. To resolve this surf through sites but ain’t found any solution to this.

Missing features
One of the biggest missing feature was copy past, I have habit of writing my post in notepad and then copy it and mail it to me because I am not interested in using direct mail feature

Another big missing feature is bluetooth
Even though your itouch hardware is equipped with bluetooth hardware u can not use it because of no software support.

Hence it was worth to move to next version of it’s software/ os. Here i am not gonna mention all the steps to jailbreak, because its of no use to mention the stuff which are already available at many site. i ll just point you to right direction

just remember one stuff don’t upgrade your itouch/iphone to OS 3.1 because as per my knowledge still its jailbreak is not available

from here can download right firmware for your iTouch/iPhone, and guide how to jailbreak is here.

have fun with jailbreaked iPhone/iTouch…
