How to use your iPhone 3GS as a camera for the iPad

eches — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:28:32 +0000

Apple's products are always superb, not doubt about it, but they are always lack of something relatively important. The iPad sales that can be described as modest considering all the hypes, doesn’t have a camera onboard. Fortunately, someone has come up with a solution.

In essence, this solution requires an iPhone 3GS as a camera to make it work and it will be using 2 camera apps and bluetooth connection. Even though this method can only be used by people who have both Apple devices, it is still a great solution.

All you need to do is download the Camera A and Camera B apps onto your iPad and iPhone respectively—note that Camera A will set you back a buck while Camera B is free. Once you've got the apps on your devices, make sure bluetooth is switched on, and open the apps. Ta da! You'll see everything your iPhone's lens sees on your iPad.

Spirit Userland Jailbreak Ported to iPad demoed on Video

eches — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 23:47:58 +0000

Well, it didn't take long for comex to prove that the iPad which was made available to the general public a couple days ago can be jailbroken. Comex recently posted a video of a working untethered jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.1.3. The solution doesn't require any software installation like traditional jailbreaking methods; it only takes advantage of a bug in Mobile Safari in iPod Touch & iPhone. And the same bug exists in iPad OS 3.2.

Well done comex for successfully porting Spirit userland jailbreak to Apple iPad.

What is the benefit of jailbreaking iPad I heard you ask. Basically, by jailbreaking iPad you can run third party iPad apps which are rejected by Apple for some ridiculous reasons or restricted applications that can perform task like tethering your iPad to share internet connection etc.

Maxtor One Touch III – 500 GB massive storage

eches — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 04:21:56 +0000

It has been a year and a half since I'm using two external hard disks Maxtor One Touch II (200 GB each) and it's now reaching the bottleneck of its capacity. Everybody wonders; 400 GB of massive storage and they are almost full, what the heck I have in there. Well, I collect a lot of TV series; 24, Prison Break, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Discovery Channels, Desperate Housewives, The Apprentice, Naruto and TV series list goes on. I also have bunch of DVD quality movies, wide range of softwares ranges from Electrical & Electronic Engineering to internet applications and few latest games. That might might explain why those two machine are now running out of breath.

With the space usage reached the warning level, I started to survey at Amazon and Dabs. The growth of space is almost exponential but the prices barely increase, which is good for consumer like me :). I look at this particular product, the Maxtor One Touch III - 500 GB which is around Â£160 (inclusive VAT). It's quite expensive and with same amount of money you were only able to buy 200 GB of external HD, that was 2 years ago. I would wait until next year where the price gradually starts to decline. I hope by the end of the second quarter of 2007, the price would decline to Â£120 (fingers crossed).

Look at its shape, for me, it's less appealing to Maxtor One Touch II. But who cares, as long as it can take large sum of data, and it's not choking, that's good enough.

Product Features

Automated OneTouch backup
7200 RPM spindle, 16 MB buffer for fast drive performance, seamless data exchange, and instant access to your files
