iPhone activations hosed until morning?
Filed under: Apple
We've been hearing scattered reports some that newly-christened iPhone owners are having a heck of a time finalizing the activation process in iTunes. That sucks for a couple reasons: first, these puppies are darned near useless without being activated, and second, it seems the procedure is hanging after the point at which existing customers' current SIMs are deactivated. So yeah, long story short, there's a few people out there left phoneless while AT&T gets its act together, which it's been said may not be until morning. Burnin' the midnight oil over there, O Masters of Activation?&n bsp;

SIM card swappin' and the early snap of iPhonation
Filed under: iPhone
So maybe, contrary to previous reports, you will be able to swap out that SIM card on your iPhone. Although, with all things Apple, they would prefer you only use what they give you. The official word is "Other SIM cards may not work." Most AT&T cards will probably work.In other news:

Microsoft working feverishly on answer to iPhone?
Filed under: Cellphones
You've already seen bits and pieces of this morning's Today Show, but another segment in the broadcast managed to grab a trip inside Microsoft's Mobile Design Lab where engineers and "audio geeks" look to be hard at work as they try to "redefine cool." Notably, the video fails to show any undercover shots of prototype mobiles that Microsoft may have up its sleeve, and it seemed that this "sneak peek" was intentionally devoid of innovation (secrets we can't know about?). Nevertheless, we do get a chance to see dedicated ringtone makers, and while it's already understood, any future mobiles coming out of Redmond will reportedly attempt to cram "as much of your PC into your cellphone as possible." Best of all, however, is the aptly-dubbed isolation room, which left the interviewer grumbling over how tough it was to peck out an email on the tiny keys of his smartphone. And whether you want to believe it or not, Robbie Bach was seen stating that the iPhone "doesn't change Microsoft's strategy nor its approach."[Thanks, Toph]

iPhone Take Apart
As often happens with new and fantastic technology products with a lot of hype associated with them get released, someone immediately wants to take them apart to see what's inside. Such is the case at iFixit where they have begun the disassembly process on a new iPhone. So, if you're curious not only about what the device looks like on the outside, you can also get a peek underneath the shiny, candy-coated exterior as well and see the inside. However, if you happen to be a bit squeamish about photos of disassembled devices costing over six hundred bucks, you may not want to look.

So if there wasn't any preorder, where'd they go? To Premier customers who... um, preordered, allegedly.

HandBrake gets some major press
Filed under: Software, Open Source
When your open-source project is the focus of a New York Times article, that's a big news day for you (at least it would be if not for those meddling kids in line to buy iPhones). Thursday's NYT article discussing the technical hurdles, legal haziness and other challenges to ripping DVDs for personal use leads off with the example of HandBrake dev lead Eric Petit ('titer') using his very own tool to convert a movie so it'll play on his PSP. The article goes on to mention VisualHub and VideoLan, and quickly dives into an acronym soup of MP4, OGG, AVI and more.What I found most interesting about the story was what it failed to say about the software it featured so prominently: neither HandBrake nor VisualHub were described as Macintosh apps. VisualHub is of course Mac-only, and HandBrake has been historically a Mac tool (after beginning life on BeOS) before forking and unforking as MediaFork with a Windows version in the mix. It's pleasantly surprising to me that this sort of article can be platform-agnostic.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

More evidence of iPhone's Exchange support and RSS reader
Filed under: Handsets, Software, ATT, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, Apple, OS X
The kids over at ThinkSecret have some exclusive pics of what they purport to be interface shots of the iPhone. In these, we clearly see an RSS view thanks to the reader.mac.com URL, a previously unseen SIM loading procedure (requiring a paperclip), and what appears to be an Exchange email configuration tab. TS says that the iPhone supports Microsoft Exchange servers and has likely licensed Microsoft's ActiveSync. The latter dealio we've heard before and is certainly making corporate IT departments a bit fidgety. After all, more than a few CEOs will be demanding integration of their new toys come Monday morning. Jobs himself responded to a USA Today question about the lack of corporate email support with, "You'll be hearing more about this in the coming weeks. We have some pilots going with companies with names you'll recognize. This won't be a big issue." The fact that most of these pictures still sport the old Cingular logo certainly doesn't give us much confidence for an "iDay" release.[ Full story from Engadget Mobile ]

Reader CrazyRower sends word of something small, but cool coming to iChat in Leopard. According to screenshots from an account named after Apple's favorite designer, sending a message to an SMS number is now builtin to the iChat File menu.As we've reported before, this is hardly a new feature-- you can do it with your iChat (or any other AIM enabled program; I did it on Adium) right now. All you have to do is go up to File, then New Chat, and instead of the AIM account name, just type " 1" and then any SMS enabled number. And whoever you message can even reply from the phone, and their reply will appear right back in your chat window.
But it is cool that it will be built right in to iChat's menu. You'll be able to send driving directions to your non-iPhone (or just bother your girlfriend with text messages while chatting online at work) that much easier.Read | Permalink | Email this | < a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2007/06/28/send-sms-officially-in-leopards-ichat/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments

GameTap Thursday: Samurai Shodown II headlines a Neo-Geo love in
Filed under: Mac, PC, Fighting
Samurai Shodown II leads the pack in the first of what will be a weekly institution here on Joystiq -- GameTap release notices. There are a slew of great releases every week for the all-you-can-eat PC (and as of today, Mac) gaming service and seeing as how the Wii and Xbox 360 get their share of love, we think it's high time GameTap got theirs as well.If you're a fan of games in which you maim, cripple and generally inflict harm upon living creatures, this is a great week to be you!
- Samurai Shodown II (Neo-Geo): The infamous sequel that, while not as dramatically as Street Fighter II, made its predecessor look real bad. Now sporting online play, this is bound to be one of the most popular games on the service.
- Metal Slug 4 (Neo-Geo): Also known as the part where you stop caring, MS4 is the result of Playmore digging up the corpse of Metal Slug and parading it around your local arcade.
- King of Fighters 99 (Neo-Geo): Sure, it introduced the concept of Strikers that turned the game into a broken mess for a few years, but KoF99 also features some of the best tunes in the series' 13 year run.
- Hitman: Codename 47 (PC): Announced just this week, the original Hitman speeds onto the service as of today. It's probably not a coincidence that the trailer for the movie hit theaters this past weekend.
- Project Snowblind (PC): Originally known as Deus Ex: Clan Wars, Snowblind is a solid, but ultimately forgettable first-person shooter. It's worth checking out, however, if you're in the mood for some shootin' and wouldn't mind a huge arsenal to do it with.
- The Manhole (PC): Finally, one for the kids, The Manhole is an interactive adventure from the creators of Myst, Cyan Worlds. It doesn't feature any objectives, per say, but if you have some little ones around they may enjoy clicking on all the pretty colors.

Review: Data Backup 3
I donít know why it is, but nobody likes to backup their files. Most people think that every time they turn on their Mac, all of their files should be available and usually that is what happens. It is that black day when you turn on your Mac and you get the flashing question mark or nothing at all, that you become concerned. That may be too late. T...
