Signal App for iPhone Shows Detailed Info of Cellular Towers

Signal is a new app available on Cydia. App works for iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G. This app shows you all the information about the cell towers around you. You can see where the towers are on a very detailed map.

App Description:

Signal is a utility created by iPhone Dev Team member planetbeing that displays information about the cell tower your iPhone is connected to as well as neighbouring cells. It detects and maps the location of all nearby cell towers so that the user can easily get a good idea of their cellularcoverage or where to go to get the best cellphone reception. Combined with the free iPhone carrier unlock that planetbeing has helped create, a user can swap SIMs and determine which carrier is best for him or her based on cellular coverage. In addition the map, other useful technical data is displayed including RSCP (signal strength) in dBm and Ec/N0(signal quality) to all neighbours, the PSC of the cells, as well as the frequency each cell is broadcasting in.

Buy this app ($4.99) is a great idea since the person that made the app is Planetbeing, yes the person that unlocked the iphone 4. This would be a great was to thank him for this work on the unlock.

iPhone 4 ID/Credit Card Case Review

iPhone 4 ID/Credit card case Review

We recently got the iPhone 4 Black ID/Credit card case from Case-Mate.com, we were asked to do a review of this case. After some real world testing I have to say that this case is a great idea. For me I always find myself with too much stuff in my pockets, with having a place to store my ID and credit card that problem is solved. It really made it that much easier than having to fumble through a wallet.

Best things about the iPhone 4 ID/Credit card case are:

  • Lightweight (not bulky) doesn’t add too much to the natural shape of your iPhone 4.
  • Feel of the case is nice, not slick so it doesn’t slip out of your hand.
  • Keeps all of the functions of the iPhone 4 open. If you need to get to volume control, headphone jack, camera and connect cable you wont lose out on those because of the case.

Also included with the case is a nice screen protector for the iPhone 4.
This case comes in 3 colors: Black, Silver and Pink.
This case can be found at Case-Mate.com, price is 34.99 and best of all FREE shipping.

Overall FaceTime over 3G seems to work very well, maybe some bugs still to be worked out. I think for doing video conferencing over 3G it is really good. Thanks to the makers of My3G for making this happen.
