Now you can, from your iPhone or iPod Touch thanks to the new application called TiVoRemote. A user named Duckfin has compiled a program that gives the iPod touch and iPhone a TiVo Remote. The TiVoRemote, makes a practical use of TiVo’s Telnet control feature. With most other apps, it does require a jail broken iPhone or iPod.
Installation is quite simple and will allow for TiVoRemote to be installed, once a new source has been added. When you launch this program and enter the settings menu, the next requirement is the TiVo’s IP address. Your iPod or iPhone is now ready to control your Series 3 or HD TiVo. Hit the TiVoRemote link in order to complete the instructions.
For installation, you can simply add http://tivoremote.googlecode.com/svn/www/repo.xml to your installer app sources and click on the TiVoRemote in the “toys” category. Now you’re ready to finish that project at work while your TiVoRemote does the work for your TiVo at home.

Everyone knows the 3G iPhone is coming, the question is how soon? The answer may be sooner than we think.
According to the Huffington Post Apple has yet to restock their stores in New York City with the current 2G iPhone. All three NYC Apple stores are now “out of stock.”
There has been some speculation that the new 3G will be coming in June, yet it is only March and with three more months till June is it possible we may be seeing the 3G iPhone a little sooner?
Guess we’ll have to check back on NYC to see if it is just an error that they are “sold out” of the old ones. Otherwise hold on to your horses folks the rumor of the new 3G iPhone may just become factual sooner than later.

The iPhone is getting better and better. Not only has Gartner, a world’s leading information technology research and advisory company labeled it ready for business use, along the same lines as the Blackberry, Windows mobile and Symbian Series 60 devices with the upcoming firmware 2.0 release, but soon you will also be able to conduct 2-way video conferencing.
Gartner had previously deemed the iPhone unfit for business use but points out three features in the 2.0 that will bring it up to business speed. First is the access to corporate Microsoft Exchange email servers, second is the secure Virtual Private Network links for the office and third is that users can connect to secure corporate wireless networks in the office.
This will allow “enterprises to develop local code and create applications that do not depend on network capabilities,” says Gartner’s Ken Dulaney. “Expansion of the iPhone into the enterprise could mean that Apple will become a mainstream supplier of client platform development tools. This could mean that other Apple products begin to appeal to end users.

The BBC iPlayer has been used to watch over 17 million programs, no small feat as it was launched less than two months ago on Christmas Day, 2007. The BBC iPlayer is a broadband TV service. The only other broadband TV services that are offered are for Mac and PC computers. The iPlayer is the first mobile TV service.
The much lauded player will soon be available for the iPhone and the Touch. The BBC will begin transcoding their shows into MPED-4-based H.264. They also have Adobe’s Flash system but are considering dropping it altogether for the higher compressed, higher quality streams of the H.264.
“We have seen good and consistent growth in the daily consumption of programming and it doesn’t look to be in any way plateauing,” said Ashley Highfield, the director of future media and technology at the BBC. Last week the number of shows watched reached over 500,000 in one day.

Apple and China Mobile may not have agreed on a collaboration for the iPhone, but that hasn’t stopped Chinese consumers from purchasing the phone and running it on the China Mobile network. As of the end of 2007 China Mobile said they had over 400,000 iPhones active on it’s network. Amounting to more than has been activated in all of Europe.
“The main reasons that Chinese mobile users purchase smartphones include entertainment (such as music players, cameras and video) and to access mobile Internet applications (such as IM, e-book, and games). We believe the iPhone will be favored by these consumers as it can better meet such demand”, Anty Zheng, Content Manager In-Stat China, explained in a February report.

What happens when your Touch or your iPhone is left naked and experiences those nasty falls to the floor that are sure to occur sometime or other? Scratches - that’s what happens. We all know the iPhone and the Touch are both built very sturdily yet somehow that sidewalk seems to be more sturdier.
Even if your screen is lucky enough to survive unharmed, nicks and scratches are likely to be impounded on the back and corners of the popular devices. It is why iFrogz created 100% silky smooth silicone cases for the iPhone and Touch, with extra corner bumpers designed to absorb the impact of the falls and keep your device clean and clear of scratches. The silicone cases are treated to repel the dust and lint other cases are likely to collect.

“The Nüvifone is an all-in-one device offering unmatched integration of utility and function in a single device,” said Cliff Pemble, President and CEO at Garmin. “This is the breakthrough product that cellphone and GPS users around the world have been longing for - a single device that does it all.”
And with that Garmin has officially taken on the iPhone. Set to be launched in the U.S. in fall of 2008 the Nuvifone claims a high speed 3.5G capacity, much faster then the iPhone’s lamented 2G and full internet browser with Google search, along with a similar look of the iPhone’s famous touch screen.
Other attributes that the Nuvifone has over the iPhone are instant messaging, location tagging on all photographs, and video recording. As Garmin is a GPS company the phone will map where you are instantly, give directions, and show you where the nearest hospitals, restaurants etc. are with a click of a button.

Apple has just filed a new patent that may reveal what the iPhone could become - much more than just a mobile computer, but also a new way of getting through life. The iPhone could also become a purchaser of products at McDonads, Starbucks and more.
The patent says “A processing system is described that includes a wireless communication interface that wirelessly communicates with one or more wireless client devices in the vicinity of an establishment. The wireless communication interface receives a remote order corresponding to an item selected by at least one of the wireless client devices. A local server computer located in proximity to the establishment generates instructions for processing the remote order received from the wireless communication interface. The local server computer then passes the processing instructions to an order processing queue in preparation for processing of the remote order.”
