Mubasher — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 07:55:59 +0000

Apple releases the iPhone OS 3.1.2 update. It’s around a 241 MB download. The update fixes some of the bugs and contains improvements to the old version, including:

Fix for occasional crash during video streaming
Fix for the issue that may cause iPhone to not wakeup from sleep
Fix for the issue that may interrupt cellular network services until restart

Following products are compatible with the software update:
iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS

The iPhone Dev. Team just issued a warning to users who care about their jailbroken or unlocked iPhone devices, to avoid updating the device with the latest iPhone OS 3.1.2. The 3G and 3GS owners should pay particular attention. The main reason behind this – at the moment redsn0w and PwnageTool are not compatible with OS 3.1.2.

Hope to get the updated versions for these tools in near future.

Mobile Gateway 3.0 syncs iPhone to MS Exchange Server

Mubasher — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:10:44 +0000

The Mobile Gateway 3.0 by Synchronica – now supports over-the-air synchronization between Microsoft Exchange and the newly launched Apple iPhone. This will allow mobile operators and service providers to offer mobile synchronization to business users, enabling them to receive corporate email on their iPhones without having to ask their IT manager to open the firewall or install additional software.

Mobile Gateway seamlessly integrates with the corporate IT infrastructure and does not require the enterprise to expose IMAP and SMTP in their Exchange servers or install additional connectors – issues that often raise security concerns with IT administrators.
