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.

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.

I am big fan of cycorder video recorder. Recorder very well adds the missing feature of recording in iPhone 2G, 3G.
It really sucks at times when one records a video and try to play this and it displays a message that video can’t be played.
As of now there is no solution present as per my knowledge . There is some hope after seeing road map on Saurik’s site. It may take a month or two for the next release. So don’t delete your important videos, which are corrupted. You can be able to play them after a while .
