A million downloads: Free Stanford course on creating iPhone apps takes off at a furious pace And all of the million downloads have come in just seven weeks, since the course began on April 1.

“The success of the course has come from the trifecta of Stanford University, Apple and the iPhone OS,” said Brent Izutsu, the university’s manager of Stanford on iTunes U.

The App Store offers more than 35,000 different apps, each of which can be easily downloaded from the Apple App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.

“A lot of the students here have a lot of really crazy, off-the-wall ideas” that may or may not succeed, Brant said in a conversation after class last week. Students are striving to create the perfect game, productivity app, billing software or Stanford-specific app, such as one that displays the real-time location of all emergency responders on campus.

Completion of the course, first taught in the fall quarter, carries a certain cachet. Brant said he’s received “a ton of requests” from on-campus managers and outside companies seeking to connect with class members. Some students have become instant consultants.

Apple engineers teach the live version of the course, CS193P, to Stanford students in a small auditorium in Stanford’s Quad. The rest of the world can take the course online for free by downloading videos of all the class lectures and the slides used by instructors. Only Stanford students enrolled in the classroom version of iPhone Application Programming will receive credit for the course, however.

The Computer Science Department is part of the Stanford School of Engineering.

The videos and slides are available at http://itunes.stanford.edu.

Some guys hack , some jailbreak                     some get it free other pay…

but i got my iPhoneGGG cracked in a flash free of cost and by a very painful method as software engineer put it – Waterfall model .

World’s first ever physical iphone crack reported .

It was a very tiring morning after the night of complete booze and talliness. the night included tequila Malibu Cointreau absolute Chivas n black label so hangover is obvious i woke up with my sweet alarm on the iPhone3G – Superhero (entourage ) but when I withdraw ed it from my pocket to snooze it, i don know what went wrong my dearest baby fell down under the mercy less gravity and got screen cracked .

All my one/fourth life I have read newtons gravity observation many a times but now i have learnt it practically !

I dont knw whom to blame – the booze ,  alarm , hangover or my luck but the fact is i got fucked coz S jobs have clear mention in his warranty paper that they dont cover accidental damage .

Two free apps for the iPhone and iPod touch give users the ability to add any text they’d like, or their upcoming Google Calendar appointments, to their home/unlock screens. Check out how they work in screenshots.

Wallpaper Labeler Free and gCalWall Lite< (direct links), both free and offering a $1 paid upgrade, work in similar fashion. By adding your own text with Wallpaper Labeler, or pulling down your next set of appointments from Google Calendar via gCalWall, you can alter an image or blank space to leave yourself notes, keep you on schedule, offer an "If found" reward, or otherwise give yourself something to peek at when you turn on your device.

We all Love playing Vector Pong game . Heres a Tivia about the game.
If you keep the iphone straight and just press the first tap — then the game would never end , it goes into infinite loop of Adv. points !
