Cui – On My Way

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.
