Bwana.TV gear at Zazzle! |

In this video, I discuss the site Zazzle.com which allows you to build and sell your own branded goods. Zazzle offers T-shirts, stickers, mouse pads, mugs, hats and more for affordable prices. The thing I like most about Zazzle is the quality of goods. The stuff I have received (bluefox's gear for winning the logo contest) is top notch and I would easily recommend it to anyone. If you would like to buy Bwana.TV gear, here is my gallery: http://www.zazzle.com/iobuffa If you don't like my stuff, please check out all of the other cool stuff Zazzle has to offer! Enjoy! |

iPhone 3G Review |
|
In this video, I conduct a review of Apple's iPhone 3G. A writeup of this review is at http://www.bwana.org/2008/07/31/apple-iphone-3g-review/ . I give an account of our initial impressions during the activation process and a brief overview of the unboxing (see previous video). The good aspects of the iPhone 3G are the 3G speeds (of course), GPS chip, and 3G technology perks which include using data while on a call. Some of the drawbacks include the battery life (when on 3G), cheap quality accessories, and lack of quality in the hardware buttons. Overall, I
m happy with the iPhone 3G. I believe it presents an attractive upgrade for those who are interested in faster browsing speeds while on the go, GPS-based social networking, and improved technology during calls. I find myself using the iPhone 3G a little bit more than the previous iteration, mostly due to the wave of new applications from the iTunes App Store. Again, this benefit is not unique to the iPhone 3G and if you are interested in that, I would recommend looking up used iPhones on eBay. (Sorry, we
ve already sold ours for $300+ each). I
d like to also mention the drawback of the carrier contract. Since the iPhone 3G is a worldwide release, I don
t want to dwell on the shackles of AT&T too much. As reported on the web, Canada has its hands full with Rogers as well. When considering the iPhone 3G, always factor in carrier costs, including data plan costs over the life of the contract, and cancellation fees. They are important.Even with its reduced battery life and flimsy casing, I believe the iPhone 3G is an improvement over its predecessor. Given the choice, I would easily choose the iPhone 3G. As I stated in my previous review, look out Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, and LG: Apple is here and is improving. Enjoy! |

Bwana.TV Q&A 07/24/2008 - iPhone iPhone iPhone |
|
In this video, I answer various questions in my Youtube Inbox! It's Bwana.TV Q&A for 07/24/2008. Most of the questions in this video have to do with the new iPhone 3G and the new iPhone software. There were also questions regarding unlocking an iPhone 3G which is currently not possible (from what I understand). I was only able to get in about 10 questions since I wanted to limit it to 10 minutes. Enjoy! |

12seconds.TV |
|
In this video, I talk about a new video microblogging service called 12seconds.TV. I've recently been invited to partcipate in the alpha testing phase of this site and it looks a lot like Seesmic.com on the surface. The purpose is to provide short, 12 second, video updates on whatever you wish. There is a basic follower system and tie-ins to Twitter. 12seconds.TV is very young at the moment and is lacking some features of Seesmic, but it is worth keeping an eye on as it develops. Enjoy! |

Twhirl With Identi.ca Support |
|
In this video, I demonstrate the latest version of twhirl (0.8.4) which supports the Twitter clone, identi.ca. What makes this version so special is that it supports receiving updates via Jabber (XMPP). This means real time updates in your twhirl window! A sad thing is that this feature had been developed weeks ago, but Twitter
s failure to deliver a stable XMPP service has prevented it from going live. Thanks to identi.ca
s new Twitter compatible API, this feature can now be realized and enjoyed. While identi.ca
s community is no where near the size of Twitter
s, I
m excited about it
s huge growth in such a short period of time, and how quickly new features are added. Enjoy! |

Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 2.0 with Pwnage Tool |
|
In this video, I demonstrate how to utilize the PwnageTool (2.0.1) to jailbreak and unlock an iPhone with 2.0 software. I'm not using an iPhone 3G, but an old model which uses EDGE only. Remember the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking. Jailbreaking an iPhone will allow custom software (outside of the App Store) to run while unlocking an iPhone allows one to use the iPhone on a different carrier such as T-Mobile. The Pwnage tool gives you an easy to use interface to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone. It provides giant buttons that are easy to read and follow. Note, you should have already downloaded the latest Apple firmware as well as the latest BootLoader files. The tool will prompt you to download them if you haven't already. I also demonstrate "advanced mode" which gives you options to customize the firmware even further. You can tell it to activate the iPhone or not, disable the partition wipe, customize the root partition size, (pre)install custom packages, customize boot logos, or whether to preload Bootneuter for unlocking. After customization, you click the giant "Build" button which builds a custom firmware with all the customizations defined. You then have to restore this custom firmware to your iPhone through iTunes. This invovles putting the iPhone in DFU mode. The tool does a decent job of guiding through the process of holding the right buttons at the right time. Once this is done, the hard part is over! Just wait until the phone boots, runs the appropriate programs, and you'll have a jailbroken, unlocked iPhone! Enjoy! |
