New File Sharing Application For iPhone
Finally iPhone users can enjoy a file sharing application, the celestial jukebox for the iPhone and iPod touch. Now available via P2P.
iSlsk offers owners of jailbroken iPhones to share music at high speed on the Soulseek network. As soon as songs are downloaded, the application imports them right into the iPhone’s song library to playback easily.
iSlskās launch is a matter of minutes. There is no account required, just enter a log name and a password, and an account is created for you immediately. WiFi Download speed is around 20 Kbps, while other networks like AT&T’s, deliver
songs from Soulseek at 10 Kbps.
Yet an early beta mode of the iSlsk application is avaliable, and the developers are still working out some kinks. There is an error message some people have encountered: the FireWire GUID canāt be recognized and music importing is not available. But again, this is only early beta software version, so install it at your own risk. Soon there will be issued fixed versions to offer increased stability.
iSlsk developer Eric Castro says he set up the development in February to enable people and himself to download from Soulseek on theiPhone. He saw the various capabilities the iPhone had and then thought that lots of new applications were added every day and that making a good one for the iPhone shouldn’t be so difficult. He thought it would be useful to have a P2P client, so he started learning and developing.
That sounds interesting enough to try it out for free. But you need to have an unlocked iPhone or iPod touch to get iSlsk started.

Itās not a secret that many people donāt approve of Vista and sometimes donāt even want to hear anything concerned it. This time you shouldnāt. The new VistaPerfection 2.0 iPhone theme will impress you greatly.

So here is the link (Download SummerBoard Alpha for Firmware 1.1.1), and this file is the latest alpha release. The Summerboard Alpha works both on iPhone and iPod Touch.
SummerBoard is totally free. All users who wish to donate are encouraged.
All SummerBoard themes are very easy to make. They are stored up in this folder: /var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/
Every theme has a folder in there, structured this way:
ThemeName/StatusBar.png ā that is optional status bar image with 320×20 PNG, alpha

Theme Name/Dock.png ā That is the large dock image with 320×91 PNG, alpha
All your icons go in ThemeName/Icons/ (optional, 59×60 PNG, alpha)
Also when you save your graphic files itās better to use save for Web command in Adobe Photoshop to reduce icon sizes and optimize your graphics. It saves server bandwidth, time and space on your iPhone.
iPhone SDK: Downloading Games from Third-Party Developers
If you ask me what is the major difference (and thus the major advantage) between the iPod and the iPhone I will definitely answer that it is the touchscreen. Well, yes, you can use the whole device as you control and that gives you great opportunities to play games on the device.
Windows and Palm Os enabled devices have had all the big game hits converted for them. Nowadays, the owners of the iPhone can get almost any game they have seen on their friendās PDAs for the iPhone. All-time classic games like Zuma (a game where colored balls are shot using a stone frog) are available for iPhone aw well.
But there is at least one disputable issue. Which is better: to download full versions of games on the iPhone or play them online using the inbuilt browser?
The default iPhone browser is Safari. Using the browser you can not only surf the Internet on your iPhone or iTouch, but you have access to global game servers (it means that you can play java games). Out there one can find a great number of high-quality captivating java games, so all you need to do is find the right web-page. But this works only in case you have WLAN access, if you donāt ā no games at all.
So, you should consider installing games on the iPhone instead of playing them online. Unless you spend a great deal of time online, you donāt play many games. There is another advantage of this method: if there is no WLAN access point nearby, you can launch the pre-installed game and enjoy it until the battery is flat.
Download Game Service for iPhone
It is obvious that to download games you can use the top download services (which besides games offer a great number of other downloads like video, music, ringtones, themes, wallpapers etc). But if you would like to concentrate on games, there are specialized sites that will offer a wide selection of games to you. As long as games for the iPhone are developed mostly by third-party companies you can check their sites for game updates. So, now you have at least 2 places to search through (download services and developer web-pages), but I want to introduce to you one more ā forums. Looks through the threads about games and you might find some links and demo versions there.
Forums is a great place to look for games. Here you might find the games which you wonāt be able to find anywhere else ā for instance, emulator programs, developed by forums members etc. iPhoneās touchscreen might need some time to get used to, but there are always control buttons built into the screen interface. Nevertheless, the fact of the matter is that these games are usually made by iPhone enthusiasts and, as a rule, they turn out to be the most fascinating ones.
Now you have a number of guidelines on how to choose and where to find games online ā have a pleasant time playing them!
