Is Hulu really coming to the iPhone?

Rumors have been swirling around that a Hulu app will soon make its place in the App Store. I myself first heard the report from CNet that the app is in the making and will be here in just a few months. I felt this a good thing to post on the blog later so I did a quick check on that post and i seen they had added an update quoting one of the workers from Hulu saying that they do not have plans to build an iPhone application. So I put off the blog post since it was obliviously just a rumor. I later was talking with a friend I mentioned how nice it would be to have a Hulu app on the iPhone so I went back to the blog post to give him so he could check it out. But I noticed they had removed the quote from the person at Hulu.

This could mean a few things. 1. Hulu asked them to remove the quote. 2. They removed it so people will talk and get more publicity. 3. They actually didn’t speak with someone at Hulu.

So will we see a Hulu application coming to the iPhone? I think not, let me elaborate on this…

If you are a user of the wonderful application Boxee you will know that Hulu asked them to be removed from they’re streaming sources because of issues with Hulu’s advertisers not being happy with it. This made Boxee users furious and puzzled at the same time. The reason being the adverts that display durring the videos still show when streaming Hulu video through Boxee but they didn’t want it. So anyways it ended up Hulu told them they had to remove it. So I am thinking if Hulu’s advertisers doesn’t want people streaming content through Boxee on your Apple TV or Mac, why would the advertisers be happy with streaming to the iPhone? Just something I thought I would mention.

What do you guys think? Will a Hulu app be coming to the iPhone? Do you care if it does or doesn’t? We’d like to hear your input! Leave a comment or video comment, with our new seasmic plugin, and let us know what you think.

In my opinion iMobileCinema should update to make Hulu videos stream on the iPhone.

App Release

Hey guys,just a little post. Gameloft has released Assassin’s Creed ! It’s also avaible in installous. You should check it out , it’s a realy cool game with awesome graphics!

Voice Recognition found in the 3.0 Firmware

Lots of features are being discovered in the 3.0 beta firmwares and this newest one is voice recognition. This new feature is called Jibbler, but it wont be an app you open, it will be built into the homescreen. This new voice feature will be more like an add-on to the new Spotlight search feature in the 3.0 firmwares. We suspect these new voice features will be similar to whats in the newest iPod Shuffle. Adding voice recognition to the iPhone will bring it up to speed with a lot of other phones in that aspect. Although I don’t see any big need for it since voice recognition can get very annoying at times. But the more features the better!

Artist renderings of the new iPhone

Could this be the new iPhone thats debuting in June of this year? Probably not, but it is an artist rendering of what he thinks the new iPhone will look like. Aluminum backing with a glass front and updated OS 3.0 seem to be present. Click the jump for another pic!

Here is another pic of an artist rendered iPhone idea. This one seems more logical as it adapts the same curved style as the iPod Touch.

QuickOffice for iPhone and iPod Touch

Have you ever been working on a paper on your computer but then suddenly have to go somewhere? Even though you haven’t finished your paper yet? Well here is the solution! It is called QuickOffice and it is 20 dollars in the App Store (unless you get it from installous and I already did).

So basically this is Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel for your iPhone or iPod Touch. It is simply amazing! You can transfer the files from your computer to your iPhone or visa versa with wifi! No cable required! You can create new text or excel documents and edit them and do you entire assignment on your iPhone! Then when you get to school just go to the computer lab, hook up to the wifi network and print it! Its simply fantastic! More instructions on how to use this are in the application. So go download this from Installous (reccommended; 20 bucks is alot lol) and start writing your papers on the go! Thanks guys!

Downgrade Your 3G Baseband - pHaseBanDowngrader

This new product for iPhone 3G will allow you to downgrade your baseband from 02.30.03 to 02.28.00 based on GeoHot’s method. Previously, those of you that upgraded to 2.2.1 could not use YellowSn0w. But now you can! iPhone 3G users can now upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.1 and have it unlocked. Make sure you are on 2.2.1 firmware before trying this. I don’t recommend doing this, it still is pretty unstable and you need to know what you are doing. So please unless you have got some time don’t try this.

Please read the following, which was written by thebigboss source a few days ago on what they have learned about doing this and some of the problems in doing it. I haven’t tried this because I have iPhone 2G, but a lot of people have told me it works great.

Many guys from irc.osx86.org had tested it and they are loving the downgraded iPhone. To use that tool, you need to have an iPhone with the Bootloader 5.8. If your iPhone was manufactured before September 2008, you are 5.8. If your device is 2.2.1 OOB (Out Of Box), you can’t downgrade the Baseband because you have bootloader 5.9.

Instructions:

1. Download this zip folder which can be found here
2. SSH into your iPhone and put the downloaded folder (phasebandowngrader) inside the folder /Applications/
3. In MobileTerminal.app, type “login” and enter “root” as user, the default password is “alpine”.
4. Now, type “cd /Applications/phasebandowngrader && ./phasebandowngrader”.
5. Follow the screen instructions.

What are torrents???

LOADS of my friends come up to me and say, "What are torrents?" I shrug everytime i here that question, because of the thought that THE PIRATE BAY might go any time now. Well, if you are one of the people who don't have a clue what torrents are, then here's a quick guide on what torrents are!

Ok, so, a torrent file can be used with a torrent application, like bittorent or utorrent. It is a file, which allows you to download albums, movies, games etc. off other peoples computers who are seeding the file. Once you download the entire torrent file, you then become a seed, allowing other people to download it off your computer! Simple really! But i myself don't seed, due to the fact it slows down my laptop. So screw you non-seeder haterz! Ok, so, when you are downloading the file, you are a leacher. So when you go to download the files off mininova or the pirate bay, go for the most seeder, and the least leachers!

To show you an example of this, check out windows vista on mininova, check out all the seeders and leechers!

Seeders - 672 (Very good!)
Leechers - 884 (Very Bad!)
