UPDATE 2: We Fixed The iPhoneSK Bug: For Real This Time
UPDATE 1:The app is now live! Refresh your sources and go download it now! 
Good morning everyone. Today, is a very special day. Today, we are going to do something special.
A couple months ago, my data died. As you all know, I have the Sidekick prepaid ($1 a day) plan from T-Mobile (USA). This gives me unlimited data and unlimited texting for just $1 a day.
Well, I was among one of the few who had figured out a way to get cellular data even after T-Mobile killed data for the iPhone. I dubbed this “p1nksn0w”. Now, I wanted to share this with all of you, however, we never had the appropriate support from people who had servers. We didn’t have the backup of the community.
Well, the personal server that I was using for about 7 months, died one day. I was chatting online, and all of a sudden, it died, never to be heard from again. This was from one of our readers, who graciously allowed me to use his private server for my data use. Well, all good things must come to an end.
Now, I was using random free servers to use data. They crashed often as well, they were slow, unreliable, and very difficult to configure. Well, I stumbled on a start up. A new kind of service. A paid service from a company that had also figured out what “p1nksn0w” was destined to be.
Now, I was personally very intrigued by them and their services. This company was, iPhoneSidekick.
Well, initially, our relationship with iPhoneSidekick was very much just a “seller-buyer” relationship. However, I saw huge potential in them.
Well, today, I am very excited to announce that we have an exclusive partnership with iPhoneSidekick to work together to bring some cool stuff to market.
This new deal not only means new, unexplored, territory for us here at LEI Mobile, but it also means great things for our readers and our customers. The LEI Mobile + iPhoneSidekick deal will allow you all of you on the T-Mobile Sidekick (as well as on other plans that don’t allow you to get data on, such as the AT&T GoPhone plan) to get data once more for a great low price, even better customer service, and a very easy to install method.
Well, first, let’s talk about the ease of use and installation.
Installing your new data renabler is incredibly easy! It’s very simple. You just have to hop onto our brand new “iPhoneSK” application and check out the details, and the plans.
The iPhoneSK app will be available later today. Just hop on Cydia and refresh your sources. You’ll see “iPhoneSK”, just install it to your iPhone and get going.
Now, these plans are prepay. You can cancel at anytime. Say you are going to use data one month, but not the other, yet you will the following month, you can cancel your service at anytime, there will be no cancellation fees, and you can start back up at any time.
So cancel anytime. No early termination fees. No contract, and you can choose from plans starting at just $0.99 and go to $9.99.
Now, let me talk a little more about the plans and what our new deal will bring.
Typically, iPhoneSidekick will have a $1 a month plan that just gives you very limited service. Only Safari will work. Then, their $1.99 plan will give you slightly more services, however, many applications just won’t work.
Most people, are inclined to purchasing their $9.99 plan. This gives you unrestricted access to any and all data services that the iPhone offers, super fast data speeds, that’s just $9.99 a month. Now, this would be great, however, I believe that $9.99 is a bit steep for most users.
So what do we do about this. Well, this is where our exclusive deal comes into play.
As part of our exclusive deal, we will be offering that same, unrestricted access, data plan, with unlimited data usage, the same as their $9.99 plan, for just $7.99.
Yes folks, just $7.99.
We are very excited to bring this to market. We believe that their previous $9.99 plan was great, however, the price was too steep for most customers.
So, as part of a breakthrough, revenue-sharing deal for us here at LEI Mobile, we will transfer the savings to you guys, and offer the same great features and benefits found on the $9.99 plan, but for just $7.99 a month.
So. LEI Mobile + iPhoneSidekick.
A breakthrough deal that is sure to boost revenues for both companies as well as doing what we set out to do from the very beginning of these talks. That is to make this more accessible and affordable for our customers.
Now, to recap on today’s announcements.

UPDATE 2: It’s Live! Go update right now and go get your plans and the app is chalk full of helpful information.
Once again, I’m very sorry for the inconvenience and the trouble, we won’t let this happen again.
UPDATE: I have just shipped over the 1.0.2 update that fixes all of the issues you have been experiencing. Optimo and BigBoss have received the updated application and it should be live soon. It can take a matter of minutes or a few hours, depending on how many apps other developers are releasing today.
Alright guys, here’s the 411 on what’s going on. Look, I did correct a bug in the 1.0.1 update that went live a few hours ago. It fixed an MD5 bug.
However, what’s the REAL bug? Nothing. There is no bug at all. The code is perfect. Turns out, the “crashing bug”, isn’t a bug at all. It’s a feature.
Turns out that the iPhoneSK app had our special anti-piracy code in it. You see, it’s now standard protocol here at LEI Mobile to include some sort of anti-piracy code into apps that we send to the App Store. However, since this project was very much kept secret, even internally here at LEI Mobile, the code was mistakenly placed in the app.
Not only that, to stick to our projected launch date, I jumped the gun and forgot to give the code a final look through before I hit that nice looking “build” button in XCode.
So, we are currently giving a 3X pass through to check for any other little things we may have either added or left out.
We will be submitting this final update for this “bug” later today. You should be able to get the update either later tonight or tomorrow morning for sure.
I apologize very sincerely and offer my sincerest apologies for the stupid little mistakes and events that lead to all of these headaches.
All I can say is that I am happy that I found the bug and that it’s being corrected now.
Thank You.

Apple Urges Users Not To Jailbreak In “Support” Section
Well guys, Apple has finally gone off the deep end. They have actually taken the time to write up an article on reasons on why not to jailbreak. The article was created on April 16th of this year. I stumbled on this article after getting a random tip on Twitter.
Well, Apple gives some very stupid reasons to not jailbreak. They state this in regards to jailbreaking:
Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

Apple Files For “iTunes LIVE” Trademark
Apparently, today, Apple has filed for the “iTunes LIVE” trademark. Now, there is no clear, official, reason, but I think it’s safe to speculate that Apple will bring live concerts and music events to customers, live, from iTunes.
I expect Apple to bring this to market in Q3 2010 during it’s September music keynote (along with iPad firmware 4.0).

Wow, is all I can say. We have been trying to push this update for weeks now on the App Store. It was rejected many times, left and right, mostly for stupid little things, but finally, the app is live!
So why the big bother with releasing this update? This is a massive change to the LEI Mobile that could be found on the App Store.
First of all, it brings the all new GUI found in the LEI Mobile v4.x series. This includes:
Better GUI
New Services
Many Bug Fixes
Faster
More Stable
Not just that. We also have iPad support. This is our biggest feature. We have been working hard on bringing an all new experience to the iPad. I think the interface is a winner.
It uses this all new dock at the top of the screen that has all of the services available for LEI Mobile, and then it has a full browser-like task bar at the bottom, and your content front and center.
The pages load insanely fast. We focus a lot on speed and performance of our applications, and LEI Mobile v4.1 is amazing.
Also, we have Push Notifications for the iPad version as well. This was one of our major goals for the iPad version, and we’ve got the goods.
LEI Mobile v4.1 is a universal binary. This means that both the iPhone/iPod touch and the iPad versions of the apps are in the same app file. In the same download, which makes it easier on the end-user.
So there you go guys, this is a major update and I encourage everyone to update as soon as you can.

Looks like Apple just applied for another cool patent. They have had great success with Nike by tracking your runs, but now it looks like you will also be able to track your heart rate at the same time. This may make it into the next iPhone or even the next iPod Touch. Fingers crossed!
The electronic device can include a heart sensor having several leads for detecting a user’s cardiac signals. The leads can be coupled to interior surfaces of the electronic device housing to hide the sensor from view, such that electrical signals generated by the user can be transmitted from the user’s skin through the electronic device housing to the leads. In some embodiments, the leads can be coupled to pads placed on the exterior of the housing. The pads and housing can be finished to ensure that the pads are not visibly or haptically distinguishable on the device, thus improving the aesthetic qualities of the device. Using the detected signals, the electronic device can identify or authenticate the user and perform an operation based on the identity of the user. In some embodiments, the electronic device can determine the user’s mood from the cardiac signals and provide data related to the user’s mood.
