Bad news, really.
I haven’t got time to update this blog for about a month. Guess that’s why Google made this punishment to me.
I’ll try to write more new posts in future and see when i will get to 3 again.
(from official site)
With this release, i expect mobile firefox would be much closer to the day of firefox running on the iphone, even though there’s already a saying of that would not happen due to the restriction of Apple’s SDK.
But, people like me who would love to make it happen, just make our voice out and loud and then get heard.
Who knows what will happen, eventually.
China Mobile has re-launched its tuned 88-series service packages recently, all of the sub 5 packages under which has newly added a 10hr-Wifi-service(Source:sina(chinese)). It also says the WLAN service is now only availabe in Beijing and Shanghai.
I never get the chance to try it out, but certainly it’s a good sign for the iPhone officially coming into China, WITHOUT the wifi-cut. Personally I wouldn’t buy the phone if there’s no wifi support.
Let’s wait and see what will happen next.
P.S. I’ll update if I could try the CMCC wifi service later.
Update(Dec.30,2008): China Mobile has expanded its WiFi service, from GoTone only, to M-zone ,Easyyown and GoTone now, as Sina reports today. Really, it’s kinda sign that China may remove the restriction of no Wifi module in the mobile device.
Update(Dec.31,2008): GoTone only,again.
1.iphone.xianguo.com and Google Reader – for news and my interested stuff.
one or more hours per day.
both optimized for the iphone, so much better viewing experience.
Furthermore, lower cost ‘coz at that time I’m using GPRS/EDGE to access the internet.
2.iphone.youku.com, iphone.6.cn – for video watching.
video buffering speed is acceptable(Sure only when Wifi is available).
3.Baidu Zhidao – knowledge query, mostly on the way where GPRS/EDGE is the only way to get to the internet.
Besides, most of the zhidao webpages are mainly in text, which, again, cost me less and show me the whole page in a relatively shorter time.
4. Google Search – general use.
This is done by the well-known DevTeam, AGAIN. See the official news on their blog here. and as said, ‘The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008. ‘
So for those iPhone 3G ‘unoffcial’ owners, please keep an close eye on the DevTeam’s blog. And don forget to show your appreciation if possible.

Updated: Today is the 81st day since TaoTao came to this world. And here’s what she looks like now.
1. on the way of to-be-a-father
Couple of weeks later, I’m gonna be a father! My baby would come to this world! I’m really really looking forward to it. But before that, I have lots of things to learn and prepare.. You’ll have an idea of it if you are already a father or mother.
2. new driver with the new car
Yes, one of the things I’ve done for my coming daughter. I spent 25 days(from the day I started to drive to the day I passed the test) to get the driving license, 15 days to order the Lova and then I’m on the road in my car. I have to drive as more as possbile to accumulate driving and improve the skills so make sure I’m fully prepared whenever necessary.
Well, the two cents above make me a little bit out of my spare time. And there’s also some changes in my job, which makes me busier than before. So, all in all, I may not be able to keep updating this blog as often as before. My readers, sorry.
Just got a notification email announcing the launch of this cool site: mobile.ie. Here’s the brief intro:
Mobile.ie is a website dedicated to keeping you up to date with all the news and buzz in the world of mobile technology. Mobile devices and services are steadily shaping up the world we live. As I’m sure you’ll know new devices bring better technology, making us more mobile than ever before. Our goal is to keep you in the front row of the upcoming revolution. We’ll give our best to cover all the important news.
It seems the site is powered by Wordpress, same with this site. Besides, the theme is very simple, exactly that kinda of my favorite style. Cool!
About the content, the slogan says all – absolute mobile. If you wanna learn about the latest cool and new mobile devices, mobile.ie is the one you should bookmark or subscribe. To name a few, iPhone,Android,BlackBerry blablabla. Even though there are not so many reviews so far, each of the reviews is in high quality and worth of your time.
Only one thing, it’s not optimized for iPhone so far. Perhaps, mobile.ie could take use of iWPhone plugin for that, the one I’m using now.
Wiki2Touch(google code page here) has always been one of my favorite apps since day 1 when I get it. The feeling is great, you know, when you have no idea of something, you always can ask Wiki2Touch for the answer. Most of time, you will be satisfied. Besides, at that moment, you don have to be online. Terribly awesome, eh?
If you are a fan of Wiki2Touch and you now have the firmware 2.0 or 2.1, and you haven’t figure out how to get Wiki2Touch working on the iphone, I have a good news for you
I googled a lot and finally find this post. It works.
The how-to is easy. But before that, make sure you already have this:
1. A jailbroke iphone on firmware 2.x(including 2.1) with OpenSSH successfully loaded.
2. The wikipedia data file(.bin) in your preferred language version.
Now download this wikipedia-auf-fw-201 to your computer, unzip it and then copy them to the phone by WinSCP(read my previous post here for more info) or your preferred client.
Then give 0755 permission to the server daemon \private\var\mobile\Media\Wikipedia\daemon\wikisrvd. Run daemon/wikisrvd -v -l zh & via Putty.
Open Safari and go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html. And you are now supposed to see the familar homepage of Wiki2Touch.
Add this link to your bookmark and you are done. Anytime when you wanna find out something, use this bookmark in Safari.
I haven’t uploaded the image.bin to the phone, so not sure if the image functions well or not. Besides, the toggle button on BossPref.app doesn’t seem to be working in my case. Well, no big deal, i just leave it alone.
Any questions, just email me or leave a comment. Good luck.
Update(Dec.17,2008): image.bin works. Tested on my 2.2 iphone.
Just for fun
