10. You’ll see three modes
Drive + iTunes:
In this mode USB Drive replaces Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) interface with Mass Storage interface and lets you use the iPhone as a USB Drive. At the same time you can perform iTunes synchronization, developers can use XCode debugger ,etc. In this mode USB Mass Storage will not work on Windows with iTunes or Apple USB Drivers installed.

Default:
This is the iPhone default mode. USB Drive doesn’t install daemon application nor modify any USB settings. Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) is active as well as iTunes synchronization and tethering over USB.

Drive Only:
This mode is to resolve compatibility issues with Windows and iTunes. In this mode USB Drive changes the iPhone’s USB product ID. This will prevent iTunes synchronization, but USB Mass Storage will work on Windows (and other operating systems). Switch to the Default or Drive + iTunes mode will restore iTunes sync.

11. Select the mode of your choice and click on Create drive

12. Enjoy your new USB drive.

iPhone users may get a choice now while surfing the internet. Opera has developed mini browser for iPhone. The browser is fast enough to impress anyone. The reason behind it’s performance is the proxy architecture. Whenever you request any URL using Opera mini, request will be send to Opera servers and then opera servers will download a page for you and compress the page up to 90%. After compression, page is transfered to iPhone in custom binary format. This binary format will be rendered by opera browser.

Advantage of Opera mini over Safari
1. Browser is fast as most of the processing is done by Opera servers.
2. Data is compressed up to 90%. This will reduce data usage bill.
3. Scrolling throw the page is smooth regardless the size of the page.
4. It can increase your battery backup little bit while browsing.

I hope that Apple will play a fare game in approving Opera Mini.

For the first time, you get a reason not to jail break iPhone 2G, 3G. Apple has approved iVideoCamera application (0.99$) for recording video on iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G.

iPhone OS 3.0 has provided lots of features that were missing in earlier version of iPhone OS. There is still a missing feature for deleting individuate call record. I have used weTool to perform this action in past. It seems that weTool is no longer available for iPhone OS 3 onward.
CallClear is a replacement for weTool up to some extent. It allows you to delete individual call record one by one from call history. CallClear is available on Cydia.

With OS 3.0, iPhone 3G users got MMS feature along with many awaited features. iPhone 2G users got all the features except MMS.
I don’t know the exact reason why Apple has not provided this to iPhone 2G users. There is no harware limitation for this feature in iPhone 2G.
There is app available for activating MMS in jail broken iPhone 2G. To activate MMS on jail broken iPhone, follow the instructions below.
1. Open Cydia and go to search tab.
2. Type ActivateMMS2G in search box and you’ll get ActivateMMS2G application from iSpazio.
3. Tap on install and confirm the installation.
4. After successful installation, Cydia will exit and reboot the device.
5. Go to Message application, you’ll notice camera icon.
6. Take some picture or use any existing picture from your galary. Send it to your friends.
7. Done!!!

hClipboard is another copy paste application in jailbroken iPhones. To install this application, go to
1. Cydia installer (Make sure that you have 2.2 firmware)
2. Search for “hclipboard”
3. You’ll see it listed in the search result.
4. Install the application.

To enable hClipboard, Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > International > Enable hClipboard.
After enabling hClipboard, you’ll find a globe symbol in keyboard window. Tap on it and start playing with it. It stores text in two forms. One as clipboard and another in the form of template. You can store up to 10 clipboards and deleted the unwanted in iPhone’s native way of deleting a text. Though you don’t have any limitation in templates. You can store as many as you wants, this can be used in storing email, mobile number or user name for some sites which you use very frequently.

There is no doubt that in terms of functionality it is the most advance application present so far but I didn’t like the technique it used to select text. Its doesn’t meet iPhone standards. Clippy is another copy/paste application which uses better technique to select text.

Every time I press iPhone’s home button to know the time. I get a very nice quote on the screen. This is one of the best uses of locked iPhone screen.
You need to have a jail broken iPhone having firmware 2.X.
I assume that you have installed WinterBoard already in your iPhone. To install “Famous Quotes Widget”, open your Cydia installer and search for “Famous Quotes Widget”.
You’ll get widget in search result. Now follow the instruction to install this widget.
After successful installation, open WinterBoard application and enable the widget and you are done.

This widget for WinterBoard contains hundreds of quotes and each time you lock your iPhone/iPhone touch a new one is displayed. Works on tops of other Lock screen themes.

I was looking for an application which can manage my SMS as I used to do on my previous mobile (not an iPhone). I strongly feel that storing conversation is good but you should have been given flexibility of deleting or forwarding individual messages.
I tried MySMS application present in iPhone 2.2 Cydia repository. An unregistered version introduces 30 seconds delay while sending a message, everything else is working fine. You can delete individual message or forward a message.

PDANet from June Fabrics is very popular in windows based mobiles. It allows you to turn your smart phone into Wi-Fi router for your laptop. It is now available for iPhone.

Unlike other software like iPhoneModem, NetShare that tether your iPhone through SOCKS proxy solution, PDANet is true Wi-Fi router. This works seamlessly as if you are connected to a Wi-Fi router. You can share internet to as many terminals you want. You don’t need to configure any settings in your browser or you don’t require specifying any IP address. This is simply another Wi-Fi router.
The only negative point in this app is that you need to jailbreak your iPhone.
