One of the core features that AT&T users have been missing out on for quite a while now is tethering. Its competitor, Verizon, has offered it on most of their smartphones, as far as I know. Thanks to iOS4, iPhone users can now tether their devices, but for a price of $20 per month. Fortunately, for owners of jailbroken devices, you can now use MyWi (compatible with iOS4) to tether, for a one time fee of $20.
We live in a time where almost all of our technology is wireless. However, if you own an iPhone, this is not the case. If you need to charge/sync your iPhone/iPod Touch, you will need a sync cable. Quite a few phones offer wireless syncing and charging, but the iOS platform does not, unfortunately. Luckily, if you are jailbroken, you will be able to get this feature, thanks to WifiSync.
It has long been rumored that the days of the standalone GPS unit for ones car were numbered, but the final nail is in the coffin and the sole reason is because the solution is free. No, I am not talking about Google’s free Navigation application for their Android phones, I am talking about a free application for all iPhones with GPS called Skobbler. Not without its quirks, Skobbler uses open-source mapping technologie called the OpenStreetMap Project and overlays turn-by-turn directions onto your iPhone.

The iPhone is one of the most well-known phones around, and one must be careful when using it in public, since most people know it has a lot of value. As a precautionary, many users have software setup to keep track of where there iPhone is. To date, there only two ways of doing so. One, by having a jailbroken device, or, two, by purchasing mobile me ($99). Now, there is an amazing app called Device Locator for iPhone in the App Store which allows non-jailbroken users to locate their device, for the price of $2.99.

Lo-Fi photography with plastic cameras has created a sort of cult following over the past few years. Companies likeLomography and Holga have become very popular with their many cheap plastic film cameras which produce unpredictable vintage photographs. As a owner of a lomography camera myself, I can say that this type of photography is addictive and although I love the efficiency of digital cameras, the unpredictability of plastic cameras is an adventure. Thirty years ago, a small company in Wisconsin released 200 cameras with interchangeable lenses and multiple film formats called Hipstamatics. Most of these cameras have been lost over time but analog photography still lives on. A digital reproduction of this camera has now been brought to the iPhone. Hipstamatic is $1.99 and $0.99 for each additional lenses/film kit bought in-app. A video review of the app after the break!
