iPhone 4 added a new hardware called Gyroscope. It adds another dimension to the accelerometer experience that lets you tilt your iPhone to do different things.

The accelerometer has changed gaming and iPhone has become such a huge gaming platform with hundreds of thousands of games available for it now.

iPhone 4’s gyroscope adds another dimension. It can be easily explained with an action. With iPhone 4 you can tilt your device to move left or right in a game. And if you turned your body, you will also turn inside a game just like looking around in a room. (see video below)

Ngmoco has released a game called Eliminate:GunRange which uses the iPhone 4 gyroscope brilliantly.

You are in a beautifully crafted gun range with several different weapons and you have to turn a little to see all around the room to shoot down targets.

GunRange features 12 different weapons and 144 target-shooting challenges set in 3 different HD firing ranges.

The controls take a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it it gets really addictive to shoot down those targets.

We have some news regarding the iPhone 4 from Rogers. Rogers iPhone 4 Hardware Upgrade (HUP) details have been revealed in a placeholder employee training manual. This info is not “final” but take it with a grain of salt as changes will occur closer to the launch date.

Our sources have provided us with the following information and here it is:

Last year, Rogers provided a special iPhone upgrade that gave iPhone 3G owners the chance to upgrade to iPhone 3GS before their normal hardware upgrade eligibility. This year, we’re doing it again – and we’re expanding it to give millions more customers the chance to get an iPhone 4 at a discounted price! Every Rogers customer with a smartphone, quick messaging device, or regular cellphone (purchased on contract before June 7, 2010) is eligible for a discount on a new iPhone 4!
At time of launch, an eligibility tool will be introduced on Rogers.com that allows customers and sales representatives to validate their eligibility for exclusive offers and discounts based on their profile. The link (and all additional HUP information) will be available in Sales Central, so keep an eye out for it!

Usually Rogers/Telus/Bell provide upgrade details at the very last minute and this time around it’s no different. According to the above, if you purchased a cellphone on contract prior to June 7, 2010 you’ll be eligible for an iPhone 4. Most likely your subsidy will be determined by how many years you are into your contract.

Rogers iPhone 4 Hardware Upgrade Plans Leaked?

To lock or unlock, that is one choice facing the thousands of Canadians intent on purchasing the iPhone 4.

On Friday, the smartphone will be on sale unlocked, or free to purchase without the confines of a wireless contract, at Apple’s retail and online stores.

The phone will also be available through wireless carriers Rogers, Bell and Telus, which sell the phones for low cost if consumers are willing to lock into what are typically long-term contracts.

“An unlocked iPhone means you have to dig a little bit deeper into your purse or jeans,” said Iain Grant, managing director of consulting firm The SeaBoard Group.

“Most Canadians have actually shown they are more interested in saving the upfront cost than actually paying the real cost for the phone and having the option of moving around.”

On Monday, Apple released pricing for the unlocked phone. The 16GB iPhone 4 will cost $659, with the 32GB model costing $779. The stores also sell an iPhone 3GS 8GB model without a contract for $549.

One of the first things I ordered when I bought my iPhone 4 is the full body coverage offered by invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone.

You have heard of the iPhone 4 antenna issues. Apple’s answer is to offer free iPhone 4 cases to all customers. But, most people including myself are seeing shipping dates in September.

If you have been considering getting some kind of protection for the precious Retina display and the glass back for your iPhone 4, this is a great time to get invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone.

InvisibleSHIELD for iPhone 4 now ships with an antenna shield for the sides that could help prevent dropped calls and data connections.

You can also order the SHIELD for just the sides for $9.99 or get the full body coverage with the sides.

The best thing about InvisibleSHIELD? It’s the lifetime replacement warranty with free shipping. All you need to do is to order your replacement online and send in your old one once you have out on the old one. That easy!

Here is a short video showing the side shield that helps with the antenna issue.

You could also get ZAGG invisibleSHIELD for iPad – Scratch Proof Protection (Full Body) (APPIPADFB) only $21.39. And that is a steal!

Tip: Here is a less known trick. Before you purchase an invisibleSHIELD, go one of the above links and find a ‘Win an iPad’ label at the bottom right. Enter your email address in the drawing. You will receive an email with 10 to 50% off coupon code for entering. Plus, you have a shot at winning an iPad.

Woohoo, jailbreaking and unlocking your iPhone is now completely legal (in the US anyways)! This being said, what is the new rule going to change for us jailbreakers? Unfortunately nothing!

Yes, nothing is going to change. Even though jailbreaking is now legal, Apple is in no way obliged to make it easy for us to jailbreak. The good old cat and mouse game between Apple and the Dev Team lives on. Worse, things might even get more complicated.

The legalization of jailbreaking was a big deal yesterday. If you were anywhere near a computer or TV screen, you probably heard about it. So did many other people. This free advertising for jailbreaking might have people who were on the fence before take the dive and jailbreak their devices.

Apple certainly doesn’t want more people jailbreaking their iPhones because they are worried they might end up losing this tight grip they have on the App Store. As a result, I believe Apple will try to make things even harder for jailbreakers and make sure everyone knows although jailbreaking is legal, it will still void your warranty should you decide to give your iPhone a (jail)break.

What’s your take on it? Do you think Apple will keep playing the cat and mouse game? Or will they make it easier for us to jailbreak? Your opinion sure is as good as mine. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment.
