Apple rolling out new iPhone and iPod Touch devices

This isn't the first time anyone is hearing rumors about a new iPhone in the works. We too had shared the rumors in the past, several times. But this time, the source of the rumors seems to be authentic, if not official.

According to Boy Genius, the latest iPhone OS 3.0 beta launched by Apple contains identifier strings about 6 upcoming devices in the firmware, including two iPhones and two iPods along with two unknown devices.

The rumors seem to be authentic because the evidence was discovered in Apple's own firmware that was recently released to the developers. This raises a lot of questions, with the most important being the fact that if the new devices would make it in time with the official iPhone OS 3.0 launch, which is scheduled for this summer.

According to the hardware strings, there would be two new iPhones, one identified as iPhone 2,1 and iPhone 3,1. As AppleInsider notes, the first generation iPhone is identified as iPhone 1,1 and iPhone 3G has the the numbers 1,2 in the ID. Apple's version scheme suggests that the first number is a major revision while the second number indicates minor changes to the device. This essentially means that iPhone 3G was a minor update to the original iPhone while the new devices would be major design revisions. It isn't clear at the time if there are going to be two simultaneous releases or Apple is only testing two devices, and would release only one among them. Or it may be possible that one is the long rumored iPhone Nano.

As for the iPods, the versions are iPod 2,2 and iPod 3,1, meaning that one of them is a revision to the current iPod Touch 2G and the other is a new design. The remaining devices are currently a mystery, with one called iProd 0,1 and the other only known as iFPGA. These two are pretty much early development prototypes, but what confuses me is that why is Apple planning to launch iPhone OS for FPGAs.

Strong to the tradition, Apple is tight lipped about these new devices right now, but they won't be under wraps for long. We would keep you updated as more information pours, but would like to hear your thoughts on the two new mystery devices via comments

How to upgrade to iPhone 3.0 beta on iPhone or iPod?

A couple of days ago we shared links to download the iPhone 3.0 beta Firmware and as promised, we are back with an exclusive article on how to update your iPhone or iPod Touch device to iPhone 3.0 beta firmware.

Before I continue with the procedure, let me remind you folks that it is an advanced level hack so only proceed if you have a clever understanding of what you are doing. I strongly recommend users with unlocked iPhones to wait till the iPhone Dev team releases a patch for the new firmware.

Following procedure is applicable for those with a AT&T locked iPhone and all iPod Touch users.

Installing iPhone 3.0 beta on the iPhone

1. Make sure to have downloaded the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware that relates to your iPhone (2G or 3G).
2. Extract the firmware IPSW to a folder.
3. Connect the iPhone to your computer.
4. Get the UDID registered on the iPhone Developer program. (How to?)
5. Open iTunes and click Restore while holding the Shift key (for Windows) or Option key (for Mac).
6. Locate or browse to the firmware IPSW.
7. Wait for iTunes to unpackage and install the firmware.

Note: Attempting to do this upgrade on a unlocked iPhone can make it useless forever. Even the AT&T locked iPhone users will need to get their UDID registered before trying to upgrade.

Installing iPhone 3.0 beta on iPod Touch

iPod Touch users are pretty safe in this case as there is no question of baseband like iPhone but their is still a catch which I shall be mentioning further below.

1. Once the firmware has been downloaded, extract the IPSW to a folder.
2. Connect the iPod Touch to your computer.
3. Get the UDID registered on the iPhone Developer program. (How to?)
4. Make sure to disconnect from Internet such that iTunes cannot communicate with the web.
5. Only then, open iTunes and click Restore while holding the Shift key (for Windows) or Option key (for Mac).
6. Locate or browse to the firmware IPSW.
7. Wait for iTunes to unpackage and install the firmware.

Note: Step-3 is optional for iPod Touch users but in case you decide not to get your UDID registered, you won't be able to Sync with iTunes. The upgrade method is valid for both iPod Touch 1st Gen and 2nd Gen.

Please note that after upgrading to iPhone 3.0 beta, you might not be able to downgrade to firmware 2.2.1 later on so it is always a good choice to wait for the official release which is due in summer. iPod Touch users are always safe but I have already clearly warned the iPhone users to proceed at their own risk.

Keep checking back for more hacks and tips related to the iPhone, I shall be publishing more of it soon.

How to activate the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware?

Although the iPhone 3.0 beta firmware doesn't quite neccessarily require you to activate it but if you want to use it on a device without any problems, we recommend you to follow the procedure.

Activating the iPhone 3.0 firmware for your iPhone or iPod Touch is equivalent to getting the UDID of your device registered in the iPhone developer program so you are legally able to test the new firmware on your device without any syncing problems with iTunes.

How to get the UDID registered?

One way is to simply pay $100 and enroll yourself into the iPhone developer program but perhaps this solution is just too expensive and useless when you are not a developer yourself. So just do the following.

1. Connect your device (iPhone or iPod Touch) to the computer.
2. Open iTunes and click on the Summary for the device.
3. Hover the mouse over to where it says 'Serial Number' and click on it to make it toggle into UDID.
4. Note the UDID carefully.
5. Head over to this page to purchase a registration of the UDID for just $5.

Unfortunately! there is no other way of bypassing this.

iPod Touch users have the liberty to even not purchase the UDID registration but in that case, they won't be able to Sync with iTunes. Once UDID registration has been purchased, follow our article on how to upgrade to iPhone 3.0 beta and you should be good to go.

Dynamic Duo: SnagIt and PowerPoint

Amazing but true—once upon a time screenshots on the PC were made with the PrtScn key, which just takes a picture of whatever is on the monitor at that moment. Then along came several screen capture programs, and after a while, SnagIt became a standard tool for many of us. Now we can slice up the screen into segments or capture specific windows or snapshot menus, all with just a couple of clicks.

And the latest versions of SnagIt for PC provide such good editing tools that you can usually finish a shot (including everything from borders to balloons) without ever leaving the program. Since one requirement for great presentations is a strong visual component, SnagIt and PowerPoint make a terrific team — especially for creating courseware, tutorials, user manuals, and demos.

Three Surprising Ways to Use PowerPoint suggested using SnagIt’s “Send to PowerPoint” feature to build scrapbooks and galleries on the fly. But beyond that nifty trick, you can actually utilize SnagIt to build a presentation from scratch, setting up images and slides quickly, then completing in PowerPoint.

Start by setting up SnagIt to create a specific slide layout when you send images to PowerPoint. Just Select PowerPoint from the SnagIt toolbar, then choose Options. You’ll see a dialog box like this:

Set the options to “Insert into new slide,” then select a default “Slide layout.” Close the Options dialog, make your first screenshot, and when it comes up in SnagIt, choose PowerPoint from the toolbar and select “New presentation.” The image will be placed on a new slide, using the default format you selected.

I chose Title and Object in Options, and SnagIt created this slide for me, with the image already in the content box:

Now I just save the presentation, and from that point on, all I have to do after snagging a screenshot is click the PowerPoint button on the SnagIt toolbar. The program will keep sending my snags to new slides in the newly created presentation until I say stop. I can change the default slide layout by going back to Options, and/or I can change the destination of my snags by choosing a different presentation from the PowerPoint pull-down on the SnagIt toolbar.

Using SnagIt to set up slides while you capture is a great timesaver, since you are actually creating the basic presentation as you make the screenshots. When you have all the shots, just continue to develop the presentation in PowerPoint: apply a theme, add text to the screenshot slides, and create any additional slides needed for the presentation.

There are many other great ways to use SnagIt and PowerPoint together, so look for more tips in future posts. Meanwhile, check out this interesting interview with the SnagIt product manager. And there are additional ideas for using PowerPoint with other programs in the recent Power of Three post
