Creativity, a touch of genius, a pinch of crazy, a bit of tape, and a paper clip, and voila!! The iPhone can now take some nice macros…

Well, his iPhone can do this.

This is not a hack you can download, I’m afraid. but if you have an old digital camera you want to pull apart, then here is where you can go to find out how to “convert” your iPhone camera so it has a macro lens.

If you do it right, and follow the technical details you will end up with something that looks like this:

You can see the “technical” details for this hack in the following close-up that shows just how simple the process to get the considerable improvement to the iphone’s ability to take close up photos.

Thanks goes to self-confessed tech-geek, Colin Devroe for this neat hack!

Now your iphone can get even more usefull! Want to know what song is playing on the radio? With this great hack, you can find out that and more. Put your iphone near the radio speakers and check out the iphone screen. Admitedly, its currently in Beta. But if it works, then you will see the song, artist, and album all listed. (It samples the music for 5 seconds and then attempts to contact the id server).

Makes it easy to find that great song again - whether just to listen to or to download, right!

You can download it HERE. If you like it then let us all know how well it works for you.

If you want to go straight ahead and get the iphone SIM free software, click here.

But if you don’t know what it is yet, please allow me to explain:

You may remember that to buy an iPhone you HAD to sign up for a 2 year AT&T contract. Naturally, not many people wanted to do this. And many people in other countries outside the US couldn’t do it even if they wanted to.

But all that has changed.

Now you can use the iphone SIM free techn ology to unlock your iPhone quickly, and easily. You don’t have to open it up and mess around with wires and soldering either. You just download some software, install it, restart the iphone and POW, you’re done.

And the best part?

All the iPhones original functionality is kept in tact. AND you can use it on any network as well!

This software gets 4 thumbs up from me - you should get it even if you’re on the AT&T contract - who knows? Maybe canceling on AT&T and paying out the fee is your best option right now…

iPhone Downloads update:

Due to the ever increasing market saturation of the Apple iPhone, there is more demand then ever before for iPhone downloads.

This is because of the amount of applications you can use with your iPhone - some people are even downloading the linux operating system onto their iPhone (you can download Linux for your iPhone here)

Here are the main things people want to download:

1. Movies - both new release and older.
2. Music - popular singles.
3. Games - many want older arcade games like Mario instead of the new “Halo” style shooter games.
4. Hacks - unlocking their iPhone - iphonesimfree.com is great for this.

The biggest problem many users face when trying to download things is that they may be violating copyright laws.

This is an important point and is something you should educate yourself about at copyright.org - which has a ton of useful information about copyright laws.

Also, some users face compatibility issues when downloading software which may not work (or even destabilize) their iPhone operating system.

We recommend you be wary about all potential downloads and try to get reviews before you put any new piece of software on your iPhone. The last thing you want is to get a great download that messes up the rest of your iPhone functionlity!

So be careful.

After many cans of Redbull, JTAG and his crew have done the first physical iPhone unlock.

It required many hours of soldering and technical work, but after many hours of problem solving they have done it!

Wow!

That didn’t take very long - did it?

Only one month or so after the iPhone was released, they successfully unlocked it from AT&T so you can use it with any carrier you choose.

No crazy contracts or anything like that.

Which is a relief to quite a few readers who were concerned about the expensive extended contract you were previously locked into when you bought an iPhone.

Also check out the latest games by Macmost.

A month ago we posted about the first games that macmost had developed for iphone = now they have made more free games for your iphone. Check out the video where they show you how!

The great guys over at iphonehacks.com have reported that Euro hackers are successfully unlocking iPhones:

“So while we have folks at iPhone Dev Wiki looking at a software hack to unlock the iPhone without AT&T, we have hackers from Europe claiming to have already completely unlocked the iPhone using a SIM reader/writer and a blank SIM card to obtain full calling and SMS capabilities.”

Go over and read their post.

Thanks to the developers over at Google code, you can now get super mario on the iPhone.
