It is now possible to hack the iPhone to work with your bluetooth stereo headset. The tested platform:-
iPhone 8GB Unlocked using 1.1.1
Nokia BH-503
Also working with 1.0.2

A2DP on iPhone:-

1. Pair your headset, make a test call to see if it works. End the call normally.
2. Dial *#307#, press call.
3. Press the answer button twice with 2 seconds delay in your bluetooth headset (If you don’t do this correctly, you will continue to listen the ringtone in headset)
4. Press answer on iPhone.
5. Press the home button, do NOT end the call.
6. Open iPod and play a song, you won’t get sound from iPhone, nor headset.
7. Once it is playing, press the home button.
8. Open phone.
9. Dial 0, press Call.
10. It will ring again, answer.
11. Press audio source, select your headset.
12. Press home button, do NOT end call. (we’re almost there)
13. Open iPod and play anything you like.

Shorter Way:

1. *#307# Dial, press the bluetooth headset button twice.
2. Answer on iPhone, press source.
3. Select bluetooth headset.
4. Press home button, open iPod, play anything.

Caveat: You cannot receive the calls while the music plays this way.

6 Cool Firefox Tricks

1. Tab navigation. Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:

* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)
* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)
* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)

2. Mouse shortcuts.

* Middle click on link (opens in new tab)
* Shift-scroll down (previous page)
* Shift-scroll up (next page)
* Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)
* Middle click on a tab (closes tab)

3. Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

* Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0?. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

4. Keyboard shortcuts.

* Spacebar (page down)
* Shift-Spacebar (page up)
* Ctrl+F (find)
* Alt-N (find next)
* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
* Ctrl+T (new tab)
* Ctrl+K (go to search box)
* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
* Ctrl+= (increase text size)
* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-W (close tab)
* F5 (reload)
* Alt-Home (go to home page)

5. About:config. The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address bar. Clck here for more Mozillazine’s about:config tips and screenshots.


6. Remove the close tab button. Sometime you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? But with this trick you can move them or remove them, again through about:config. Edit the preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”.

* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only
* 1:(Default) Display close buttons on all tabs
* 2:Don’t display any close buttons
* 3:Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

Basically the pictures below will get you thinking and all we say is “Dream On”, got to admit they are mind blowing and would be fantastic if the real phone is like one of these, all a bit of fun at the end of the day. We found these pictures via “Wired” and they say that these mock-ups were designed by the readers of iLounge who held a competition to find the best ideas and creations of the brand new Apple iPhone. Check out our top 10 that we have listed below.

We have listed the title, then the picture then the description of that phone. So Title – Photo - Description

iPhone See-through

This mock-up by Robert Davis of Cornelius, North Carolina, is thin, lightweight and crystal clear. It runs a full version of Leopard (not a stripped-down one) and has a 5-megapixel camera. Not very realistic — or practical — but pretty.

iPhone Pro

The iPhone Pro by A. Berio of Los Angeles is an iPhone for well, the pros. Boasting a 1024×768 display, the iPhone Pro also has Intel’s latest Atom processor and runs OS X Leopard. Dream on!

iPhone Mirror

The iPhone Mirror by an unnamed iLounge reader from Boston has two touch screens and two cameras — one on either side. This makes video conferencing very easy — and also taking self-portraits.

iPhone Pico

iPhone Pico. Smallest. iPhone. Ever.

iPhone Classic and Mini

iPhone Classic and Mini

A lot of Apple watchers expect the iPhone line to diversify like that of the iPod: different models for different pocketbooks. Many except to see a smaller, slimmed-down iPhone — like the iPhone Mini. By Frank Reinders, Venlo, Netherlands.

iPhone 3-G Slider With Virtual Keyboard

iPhone 3-G Slider With Virtual Keyboard

This 3-G iPhone by Aaron Besson of Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, is a slider with a difference. The slide-out keyboard is actually a second touch screen, and the keyboard its displaying is virtual. Clever.

iPhone Air

iPhone Air

The iPhone Air by Renato Ruiz of Oxnard, California, is the perfect complement to the MacBook Air. It’s a clamshell and has two screens — one for a virtual keyboard — that are both protected when the device is closed. There’s a third screen on the lid that shows what music is playing while the iPhone is being used as a media player.

Two Trackballs

Two Trackballs

This next-gen iPhone has two home buttons, which are now trackballs for gaming and easier scrolling. It also uses the built-in accelerometers as game controls. Designed by an unnamed iLounge reader from Skokie, Illinois.

iPhone Bio

The iPhone Bio has the usual 3-G for video calls and video chat, but also uses biometric fingerprint security to protect your sensitive data.
