Nowadays, everywhere you go seems like the 3D technology is on the rise. LCD TVs, movie theaters and even mobile devices are now upgrading for this kind of era. This means that since mobile devices (like smartphones and tablets) will be the target for this rising technology. And since iPhone is the number one gadget that everyone are hoping to have, it’s great features also comes great enhancements for 3D technology. What’s better? It does not require any 3D-specific hardware.
During the 3D and Virtual Reality Expo in Tokyo this week, Global Wave (the company behind Pic3D) introduced their new 3D accessory. Just like the technology used in 3D glasses, the Pic3D sheet converts your iPhone (or other iDevice) into a 3D display using a thin lenticular lens system to combine side-by-side images.
There is a thicker screen protector, much like of a regular iPhone screen protector, which covers the Pic3D sheet. Once the whole sheet was installed, 3D images will pass from your iPhone through the Pic3D sheet. Global Wave provides an application which needs to be installed first on your iPhone to further enhance the quality of the 3D videos.
This technology is not limited only to iDevices; it can also be installed to laptops, LCD TVs and Tablets. The application is compatible to iOS and windows. Although there is no exact date for this technology to appear in the market, some says it will run around $25.
How do you like to have a 3D iPhone in your pocket?

Ever wondered why I am interested in this topic? Since having an iPhone is like having a phone that actually works for you (not that you are going to adjust for your phone), there is no limit of doing the great things you can to your gadget. And so developers are always making new apps for people who want to spend most of it. Below is a compilation of the top most expensive iPhone apps.

Ever need some of these apps? Jailbreak your iPhone and surprisingly you can have some of them for free!

I’ve always been looking for apps that will enhance the capability of loading YouTube videos faster than ever. Just when I woke up this morning, I read one Cydia tweak called “TCP Optimizer” that claims it will improve the network throughput. Works best in YouTube and other applications when you are connected via WiFi (3G is not included). Apple TV users connected via LAN are NOT encouraged.

Installing TCP Optimizer is fast and easy. It is a free tweak provided by Pushfix. Just launch Cydia and navigate to Sources>Edit>Add Source. Type “http://cydia.pushfix.info/” and wait for Cydia to load after clicking Add Source. Once done, return to Cydia and search for TCP Optimizer. Click Install and wait and until finish. I recommend restarting your iPhone after installing.

After testing to my iPhone, watching YouTube videos has improved. Although I am not pretty sure that it has enhanced, having some developments like this in the jailbreak world is definitely exciting. It also encourages more developers to explore in this side, especially on 3G network.

I have to share this to my friends so they too can compare if there is an improvement in YouTube and some other applications.

Almost everyone had known the name “VLC” as a simple yet very dependable media player in any computer. It was reported that the popular, open source media player has been launched in App Store sometime in October 2010. VLC is more preferred to many iPhone users because of its ability to play almost every file formats that iTunes doesn’t support. Many times, Apple has pulled out some apps in App Store and now, VLC was one of the lists. As an open-source software, VLC must be distributed freely and can be collaboratively developed. The reason for pulling out VLC from App Store was also based in licensing issues. Because for an application to be in App Store, it must be under Apple’s Digital Rights Management (DRM) through App Store and iTunes’ T&C.

But anyway, if you haven’t installed it before it was removed from App Store, VLC is now available in Cydia for download. To install VLC for iPhone through Cydia, launch Cydia and click Manage>Sources>Edit>Add. Type in: http://rpetri.ch/repo and click “Add Source.” Cydia will now then verify the source. After verifying, return to Cydia and click “Search” and type VLC Media Player. Install VLC and confirm.

Enjoy the simple yet very useful media player app in your iPhone to play most of the video formats you have.
