There’s really no limit to what developers can come up with these days for the iPhone. Just when you though that there’s an App for every possible category and task, comes this App which doesn’t fail to amaze you!

Viper SmartStart from Directed Electronics is an iPhone-compatible remote starter capable of warming up or cooling down a car.

SmartStart can be used to remotely lock or unlock the doors, pop the trunk or even sound the car alarm !

“Our customers have consistently told us that the two most important features in a remote starter are range and user interface,” Directed Electronics president Kevin Duffy said in a statement. “We developed the Viper SmartStart in response. Range is virtually unlimited, and iPhone owners can use the elegant touch-screen interface they already carry in their pocket.”

The SmartStart can be installed to your car for $499 or made compatible with an existing started for $299.

The iPhone and iPod Touch have most of the features any Music device should have. But many people missed an FM Radio. Well there seems to be some good news for FM lovers.

Apple was always reluctant to include a FM Radio in their iPod lineup but with the inclusion of  FM Radio in their latest iPod Nanos opened up hopes for inclusion of FM in other Apple devices too.

The current iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3G have a FM Receiver Module, just that theres no software to make use of it.

Apparently Apple is waiting for the integration of Apple Music Store and FM App so that users can buy the Song which they like while listening to FM.

This is not the first time that Apple has decided to keep a feature locked, Apple had previously kept some features hidden initially like the iPod 2Gs Bluetooth. It was 10 months later that Apple decided to make use of the Bluetooth feature.

As to how long will it take for the Official Radio.app to launch is best known by Apple itself. We all can just cross our fingers and wait for the Best!

iPhone has been the only device where you can get almost any application you want. Pick a task and you have an App for that!

The iPhone also had its share of Image Editing applications but none provided much detailed editing of Images.

Adobe the company behind the most widely used PC/Mac based Professional Photo Editing software – Photoshop has now made available a free to use Mobile based version of Photoshop!

Thats it. Just restore your Firmware to the above downloaded custom firmware 3.1 and you’ll have an Unlocked and Jailbroken 3.1 iPhone 2G.

Push Notifications was a major feature of the 3.0 Firmware. However Push was not working at all for those whose device was Hacktivated (unofficially activated through jailbreak). Along with Push, Youtube too was not working.

The Devteam has just launched a small fix for both of these problems. Note that this Fix is still in a premature level and hence not user friendly.

Follow these steps exactly to Enable Push Notifications and Youtube on your Hacktivated 2G/3G :

1. Download and Extract this Archive to a folder on your Desktop : PushFix.zip

2. Copy the following files via SSH to /private/var/Keychains and set permissions of inject and nimble to 755 (using WinSCP > Right Click on File > Properties).

youtube-cert.bin
youtube-key.bin
push-cert.bin
push-key.bin
inject
nimble

3. Backup(copy) the keychain-2.db file from your iPhone to your PC/Mac. After that Delete it from your iPhone.

4. For further steps you’ll need Mobile Terminal on your iPhone. To download it, open Cydia > Search > type in “Terminal” and download it.

5. Once your have Mobile Terminal installed. Perform the follow set of commands :

cd /   (make sure there is space between cd and /)

then:  cd /private/var/Keychains
then: ./inject (theres a dot . before slash)

6. You will see some actions being performed. Once done, Exit Mobile Terminal.

7. Now Delete any Push Enabled App from your iPhone.

8. Reboot your iPhone. Youtube and Push should be working fine now!
