How to setup Ubuntu to works with AirPort Express

news October 16th, 2009

Hi, guys. I’ve found the great solution to stream all your local sounds to AirPort Express, which connected to your multimedia sound system. Frankly speaking it was almost in the default installation of Ubuntu. All you need is to install the latest Pulse Audio and Pulse Audio Volume Control

sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol paprefs padevchooser pulseaudio-module-raop

Go to the top menu System -> Preferences -> PulseAudio Preferences

Choose in the top menu

Applications -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Volume Control

In the Playback tab choose an application you want to stream and select Stream on dropdown menu your AirPort Express

This is the one way you can do it. But i prefer the following solution. Click with right mouse button on the Sound Volume icon in the application tab and select Sound Properties

In the Output tab select your AirPort Express device and that it. Everything should play well and you can manage volume right from Ubuntu Volume Control or using your hard keyboard button. That works very nice for me even better than in Windows or Mac OS X cause you can stream every application you want and control volume control using your system settings. One more thing i would like to mention is that there is no way to use your iPhone with Remote application

Have a fun

Diff between iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S with 3.0 firmware

firmware, news June 22nd, 2009

Apple iPhone feature chart

Apple’s Knowledge Base once again steps up in the handy-dandy reference chart department with a feature check-list showing highlighting some major features supported by all iPhone models, by the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3G S, and by the new iPhone 3G S alone.

There are some caveats, however:

  1. Peer-to-peer connectivity requires compatible applications, which can be downloaded from the App Store when available.
  2. The original iPhone does not support using Bluetooth for peer-to-peer connectivity. It can use Wi-Fi and cellular data networks for peer-to-peer connectivity.
  3. MMS is not available in all areas; fees may apply. See your carrier for availability.
  4. Internet tethering is not currently offered in the United States and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.

iPhone 3.0 firmware is ready to unlock and jailbreak

news June 22nd, 2009

Dev Team released redsn0w utility for MAC and Windows users. The latest version in 0.7.2.

redsn0w is an easy to use, multi-platform, multi-device jailbreaking and unlocking (iPhone 2G only) tool for the iPhone 2G (original iPhone), the iPhone 3G (but not the 3GS) and also the iPod touch (first and second generation). Currently it is available for Windows and Mac OS X (there are some issues using redsn0w with OS X PPC, please use an Intel Mac until we have this problem resolved).

  1. GOLDEN RULE: If you are using a 3G iPhone with yellowsn0w and rely on yellowsn0w to obtain cellular service, then you should NOT use redsn0w right now. Ultrasn0w (the 3G carrier unlock) is not included with this release and therefore your baseband will be locked and unable to use an operator other than the official one it was bought for. UltraSn0w will be released via APT (cydia and icy) soon. If you have an original iPhone (1st generation) then 3.0 carrier unlock works with this redsn0w release.
  2. Yellowsn0w in its current form will NOT work with the baseband version that is present in the 3.0 update, you will need Ultrasn0w, which will be released sometime soon, Ultrasn0w will work with all iPhone 3G models (but not 3GS), even ones that were previously unlockable, Ultrasn0w (when available) will be released via APT (this means you will be able to get it via Cydia or Icy).
  3. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
  4. Read items 1, 2 and 3 again and again.
  5. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest version of redsn0w.
  6. This app is suitable for the recent 3.0 release
  7. redsn0w will NOT work for the iPhone 3GS.
  8. redsn0w WILL work for Original iPhone (1st Generation), Original iPod touch, iPod touch 2G and the iPhone 3G (not the iPhone 3GS).

To use redsn0w simply upgrade the device in iTunes to firmware version 3.0 and run redsn0w to activate and jailbreak the device (and if you are using an original iPhone 2G, it will unlock it too!)

iPhone 3G S processor and RAM details revealed

news June 12th, 2009

T-Mobile Netherlands has accidentally put up the CPU info on its website, stating a 600MHz processor with 256MB RAM.

iphone-3gs-cpu-specs

The original iPhone and iPhone 3G both used a 412MHz processor, and each had 128MB of RAM.  These figures fit in roughly with Apple’s claim that the iPhone 3G S is around twice as fast on average as the last-gen hardware; it also slots the handset back into the number one spot above the second-gen iPod touch, which has a 532MHz CPU.

The iPhone 3G S will land on June 19th –priced at $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model–  in US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and UK.

Apple senior vice president of iPhone software Scott Forstall used Monday’s WWDC keynote with the news that iPhone users have waited months to hear: The new iPhone 3.0 OS will be released on June 17, 2009.

Spotlight support across the entire device, and ubiquitous searching. Peer-to-peer Bluetooth-based multiplayer gaming, push notification, in-app store support and other capabilities factored into demonstrations showing off iPhone 3.0’s new features, as well.
