Vimeo, the video site that seems like it's meant to perpetually stand in YouTube's shadow, has released its first application for iOS today. In short, the app brings the full Vimeo experience to your mobile device -- with a decent video editor thrown in for good measure. Vimeo for iOS lets you watch, upload, manage, and edit videos. You can watch your previously uploaded videos and easily ...

One day after IE8 and Safari fell prey to eager hackers during Pwn2Own's first day this year, the iPhone 4 and the BlackBerry browser have been exploited as well. The former was pwned by veteran Pwn2Own winner Charlie Miller, who developed an exploit that enabled him to run arbitrary code on the iPhone after visiting a specially-formatted Web page. Once he was 'in' the iPhone, he was able to ...

Nick Pack, an iDroid developer, has just posted a video of an iPhone 3G running Android 2.3 Gingerbread (video embedded after the break). It's pretty sluggish, and the video quality is poor, but the proof of concept is clear: it's certainly Android 2.3 on an iPhone. The same developer went on to add that it's still very early days for the port, and that the "iPhone 4 port is under way and ...

Yahoo launched its Messenger app with video calling for the iPhone a couple of weeks ago. It sadly omitted support for the forward facing camera that's available on the latest generation iPod touch. But all is not lost, touch fans -- Yahoo has just updated the app and corrected that oversight. Yahoo! Messenger for iOS now supports two-way video calling on the fourth generation iPod touch, matching ...

There was once a time when FaceTime was the only iPhone 4 video calling gig in town. Fring entered the ring first, but now Yahoo has joined the video calling party, with an update to their Yahoo! Messenger app. Unlike Apple's current implementation of FaceTime, Messenger allows you to video call over both Wi-Fi and 3G, but if that wasn't enough, you're no longer limited to iPhone-to-iPhone ...

In true Apple style, FaceTime is both a neat reinvention of a previously uninteresting space and a service that comes with certain limitations. So if being constrained to Wi-Fi-only video calling and only if both ends use either an iPhone 4 or the newest iPod Touch are the kinds of things that annoy you and only hinder your use of mobile video chat, rather than make the whole experience user ...

iOS 4.1 is finally available to download, and the new features are what we expected for the most part. What you get out of the iOS 4.1 upgrade depends on your device. iPhone 4 users can take full advantage of the new iOS features, including Game Center, HDR photography and HD video uploading. You also get a fix for the proximity sensor bug, if it affected you. (Yay! No more accidental hangups!) ...

Comex, the guy behind the JailbreakMe jailbreak for iPhone 4, has struck again. This time, he's bringing Flash (well, an iPhone version called Frash) to jailbroken iPhones. To get Flash running on your iPhone, whether Steve Jobs wants you to or not, you just have to jailbreak it at JailbreakMe, and then follow the instructions Redmond Pie has posted. Basically, it's as easy as installing SSH ...

Right on the heels of the news that iPhone jailbreaking is now legal, the infamous iPhone Dev Team has released an easy-peasy jailbreak for the iPhone 4. It's called JailbreakMe, and it works right from your iPhone's browser. The landing page for JailbreakMe reminds you that iPhone jailbreaking is now legal, and also fully reversible by plugging in your device and hitting Restore in iTunes. If ...

So, you've got a new iPhone 4, and you love FaceTime, but you're finding it's just not that useful. It's hard to know when friends are actually going to be on Wi-Fi and available to take a FaceTime call, so you've stopped using it after those first giddy test calls. It sounds like you need FacePlant! This free app with a silly name was produced by the team behind the successful 12seconds video ...

Remember when I said that iChatr, the iPhone 4 Chatroulette clone, didn't have as many "gross, naked dudes" as the original Chatroulette? Well, I guess I was wrong, because iChatr has been removed from the App Store due to the behavior of several (gross, naked) users. It was probably inevitable that Apple -- with its mission to offer app store users "freedom from porn" -- would find ...

This probably isn't really very 'Download Squad', but as Lee's not around to stop me posting this, I thought I'd share. In just two minutes the geniuses at Taiwan's NMA news agency describe the entire iPhone 4 reception/antenna/free-bumpers-for-all debacle. They tell the story using Sims-like CGI, it features Steve Jobs, Bill Gates _and_ evil Sith Lord Palpatine-esque hand-lightning. Also, ...

Remember Chatroulette, the faddish video chat service that lets you talk to random strangers? Well, it's got a new best friend: Apple's FaceTime on iPhone 4. Thanks to a free app called iChatr, iPhone 4 owners can FaceTime with other random iPhone 4 owners. Like FaceTime itself, iChatr requires you to be connected to a Wi-FI network. There's no logging in with iChatr, you just jump straight to ...

When Steve Jobs video-called Jony Ive to debut the iPhone 4's new FaceTime video chat, a lot of people were impressed, but I doubt too many found it sexy. Well, it turns out that FaceTime might be sexier than anyone expected, with the first FaceTime-powered sex chat business already popping up online. It makes sense, considering how easy FaceTime is to use. The overhead for a sex chat operation ...

The biggest story around the iPhone 4 launch hasn't been about the phone's awesome new features, it's been about the flaky reception when it's held wrong. A left-handed grip on the phone messes with the baseband antenna, and users are ticked off. Steve Jobs, in typical Jobsian style, has responded with "just avoid holding it that way." Well, Apple might have a better response than that: a software ...
