Web Apps Can Mimic Real Apps

What you are you seeing in these screenshots may seem like a real iPhone application, but it's not. It's a web page displayed in full screen, completely out of Safari, behaving and looking exactly as any native iPhone program would do. The best thing: It is not a new feature of the incoming iPhone OS 2.2 update: The secret feature is "hidden" in the current 2.1 version and only requires one thing: HTML code embedded in the web page itself. No iPhone modification is required. If you are browsing this from the iPhone, you can try it yourself very easily:

1. Open this link using safari - http://webapp.net.free.fr/Demo/Index.html

2. Click on the + icon and add the page to the iPhone home screen.

3. Go out and click on the saved application.

Download iThmbConv.exe from Here

Step 1

There are also a couple files that you need to download off of your iPhone before you can convert them. Use a program like iPhoneBrowser or iBrickr.

The files are:
Photo Database
F3004_1.ithmb
F3008_1.ithmb
F3009_1.ithmb
F3011_1.ithmb

They are located at:
/var/Mobile/Media/Photos/
and
/var/Mobile/Media/Photos/Thumbs

Step 2

Copy all five files and the program to:
C:\tmp
(Note: the directory is not important, but this is for simplicity.)

Step 3

Click Start > Run.
Type "cmd" and hit enter.
This will bring up the command prompt.

Step 4

Now you need to navigate to the folder that you downloaded the five files at.
Type "cd c:\tmp" and hit enter.

Step 5

Now type "iThmbConv.exe"
There will be a list of examples on how to use the program.

Step 6

Type "iThmbConv c:\tmp\F3008_1.ithmb" and hit enter.
Note: be sure that this file is the largest one you downloaded, if it isn't, choose the one that is.

Step 7

You will now have a bunch of files in your tmp directory that have a .ppm extension.
You can open these files using Photoshop and save them as you want.
You could even use a batch to convert them all at one time.

Or you can use irFanview to view and convert the *.ppm files ..

Apple didn't even charge me a single dime for all the firmware upgrades I received from them. If this is how you wanna play, I'm competing with you.

RM30 for firmware upgrade. Anyone?

i do recommend that you upgrade to 2.1

[addedon]October 26, 2008, 11:01 am[/addedon]and at the same time, a fresh new FW will resolve your problem.

Not sure if this was mentioned but anyways..

Those of us who use a Mac with their iPhone probably grab photos using iPhoto. It's an obvious choice since your Mac already comes with it. However, if you have a lot of photos, you may not necessarily want to fire up iPhoto to import one or two pictures from your iPhone.

Instead of iPhoto, try using Image Capture. It's light-weight, straight forward, and it's included on your Mac. Best of all, you can simply drag a photo out of Image Capture right onto your desktop.

Cheers

here we go:-
1- surf or open yr fav picture
2- put yr finger on the picture for 3sec
3- a menu will pop up
4- click on save image
5- then open yr photo album and u can find yr fav picture there.

by the way, i like how you have advertised your iphone prowess (by informing us a well known trick) and then endorse how stable is the current firmware to your advantage.

very nice, i have to say.
