Here’s an iPhone App that made the cut – the iHologram. It works with both the iPod touch and iPhone, offering animations that seem to leap off the display in the manner 3D holograms would. According to designer David O’Reilly, “The application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3D scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.” The project is still just conceptual, but the designer plans on releasing a real app as soon as he finds a capable programmer. Good luck!

“Now that the official iPhone OS 2.0 is out, the iPhone Dev Team will release their Pwnage tool for everyone to unlock and jailbreak their iPhones soon, although the specific date/time is not firm yet.

Tomorrow, July 11, a new era begins. For some interesting Apple fans, at least. The new iPhone 3G is being released, and as always, everybody is watching. Watching, as well, are the blogs, media sites and mac forums, which are specifically reporting on the last couple of days before, and – of course – the days after the awaited release of their favorite gadget.

If you are one of those people, here is little appetizer by Walt Mossberg:

Believe it or not, there are people waiting one week (7 days !) in front of the stores to be the first in line when the calendar hits the iPhone 3G. Here are some examples: Boston, Tokyo and New York.

They claim it has taken them over six months of testing to get right […]”

The device is claimed to be limited to 200 units priced at USD 80.00, however, the developer forecasts a significantly lower price when mass production starts off.

It’s a capstone for Mac fans around the globe every year. Steve Jobs’ Keynote welcoming developers to the yearly WWDC (Worldwide Developer Conference) at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
