I read a very funny review about Firefox today. PC Pitstop writes “Firefox 3, a Must or A Bust”, but the analysis is simply crap. The review writes by a guy who loves Internet Explorer so much, that cannot accept any other software at all. Take a look of the following sentence from the review,
“Tabbed Browsing: yes, I know, everyone likes tabbed browsing, but I don’t use it.”
Seriously, PC Pitstop is just a crap Microsoft fans. They just keep yelling “I don’t like it” but without giving the solid reasons. Who else will read PC Pitstop anymore?

Skyfire, Opera and Safari are 3 of the popular web browsers for mobile. They can generate the web page with full layout like what we see on desktop. People said Safari is good, but is it the best? May be not. Laptop Mag has tested these 3 browsers and shows that Skyfire is the best one. It supports Flash, AJAX and loads web pages quickly. Can I have the Skyfire for my iPhone 3G?

Please take a look of it if you want to share the fast connection, and let your notebook online wherever you want.
Since iPhone 2G and 3G can now be jailbroken, Cydia (Installer.app’s alternative) will have all our favourite app used in firmware 1.1.4 transported to 2.0. You know, Apple won’t allow all the apps submitted go to the AppStore. That’s why jailbreaking is important since you can enjoy more apps besides AppStore.
You may have already installed OpenSSH so that you can browse the iPhone file system for more hacking. Since it is not easy to change the default OpenSSH password, you may want to toggle it when you’re not using. Boss Prefs has just updated and work under firmware 2.0. Althought only the OpenSSH toggle option can work currently, it is already a good tool for us to prevent iPhone to be accessed easily when you’re on the Wi-Fi network.
You can now install Boss Prefs by searching in it Cydia.

Currently, there is no way to unlock the iPhone 3G. But, if you leave in Hong Kong or Italy, you are lucky because there is no SIM lock of their iPhone 3G. Anyway, even most of the iPhone 3G users are using the official carrier, they still want to jailbreak it.
I know, iPhone 3G already comes with AppStore by Apple. But, you know, not all the iPhone apps we used in 1.1.4 can go to the official AppStore. We want to jailbreak it so that we can enjoy more unofficial apps by the community.
