Displaying Your ZYB Data on Your Site

In a previous post I added an example of how you can display your (or someone else's) lifestream data on your iGoogle page. But it's your data and you might actually want to show it on your site. As we write in other posts we are working frantically to give you access to as much of your own data as possible, but for now you can only get your profile data, lifestream and shouts.

Post beta 4, the ramdisk hack stopped working. Sorry Zibri, guess you’ll have to steal another exploit.
Apple doesn’t appear to upgrade the bootloader on phones in the field, probably for fear of breaks. So any old iPhones out there today, regardless of version, can be unlocked.
The iPhone 3G uses a different bootloader, which I believe there aren’t any known exploits in yet. So no unlock."

Take screenshots with iPhone 2.0 software

Running the new iPhone 2.0 software? Want to grab a screenshot of something? Turns out it's amazingly easy. Hold the Home button down, then tap the power button on the top of the phone. The screen will flash white, and that's it -- the screenshot has been taken.

Open your iPhone's Photos app, and you'll see the just-taken photo in your image library. This works amazingly well, and it's nice to see a factory-bundled solution for those of us who write about the iPhone!
