First Unofficial WikiLeaks App

You can think Julian Assange should have been TIME’s person of the year or not – we’re not here to discuss Assange’s (and his team’s) actions. There’s an unofficial WikiLeaks iPhone and iPad app in the App Store, and it was released earlier today. It’s available now at $1.99.

The app sports a nice and clean interface design, and allows you to check on the latest WikiLeaks’ updates from Twitter or the organization’s website. Both the tweets and the website are formatted for the iPhone and iPad. WikiLeaks App can automatically forward to the latest mirror and access the CableGate page.

WikiLeaks App for iPhone and iPad is available here at $1.99.

SBSwitcher Brings SBSettings To The Multitasking Tray | Cydia Store

SBSwitcher is a new tweak available in the Cydia Store at $2.99 which brings the SBSettings toggles to the iOS 4 multitasking bar. SBSettings is one of the most popular applications in Cydia, which can be customized to display a series of buttons (indeed, toggles) that can perform a variety of actions otherwise buried deep down into the iPhone’s settings. I’m talking about shortcuts like “activate WiFi”, “turn on Bluetooth” or “open VPN connection”.

SBSwitcher will put these toggles in the multitasking tray, past the iPod widget controls and the volume slider introduced in iOS 4.2. The tweak supports themes for SBSettings and it’s got a bunch of options to set in the Settings app.

SBSwitcher is available at $2.99 in BigBoss’ repository.

iPhone 3G Still The Top Camera On Flickr

Slightly updated charts from Flickr, which show Apple’s iPhone 3G (released in 2008) is still the most popular camera amongst Flickr users. The iPhone 4 had a rapid increase in the Popular Cameraphones category, with the 3GS stable right below it.

Also, notice the perfect symmetry in the iPhone 4 and 3GS charts.

First Free Download Shows Up in “iTunes 12 Days of Christmas” App

This morning my iPhone sent me a push notification to let me know that a new download was available in the “iTunes 12 Days of Christmas” app. I immediately realized that was strange, as we previously reported Apple’s annual promotion (for European users) should be running from December 26 until January 6. Why sending out a push notification on December 17?

The download is an EP by Kylie Minogue called “A Christmas Gift”, but as you can guess it seems to be an error on Apple’s end. As you tap on the download button, you’re brought to the iTunes app which returns an error and says the item is not available.

Perhaps “A Christmas Gift” will be the first free album to download on the 26. If not, well – at least the music introduction Apple put into the app this morning is pretty sweet. Read more

AT&T Changing iPhone 4 Eligibility Dates?

Well this only fuels the hot coals in the Verizon iPhone fire. I have had my iPhone 3GS since June of 2009 and my upgrade eligibility is not up until mid-February, 2011. I know because I check, often. It’s always been that … until today. I just got an email not 30 minutes ago from AT&T and is said that I am now eligible to upgrade to the new Apple iPhone 4. Why 2 months early? Could this indeed mean Verizon could be showing off their iPhone after Christmas? The email is pushing me to get it NAO. Could they be trying to lock people into another 2 year contact before some other carrier gets their hands on Apple’s iPhone? We’ll see soon enough.
