Are you one of those people who have been waiting long to unlock your iPhone 3G and free it from the shackles of the carrier in your country or use it overseas.. Well your wait is officially over, because the Dev Team has released the yellowsn0w application, that will unlock your iPhone 3G in a couple of minutes.. Trust me, it ain’t hard and the hard work of Dev Team was worth the wait..

Perfect gift for the new years from Dev Team Here are the prerequisites before you can proceed with the unlock of the phone..

• You Must Have Jailbroken iPhone 3G Running Firmware 2.2 with the baseband modem firmware as 02.28.00
• To find the version of your baseband firmware, go to Settings->General->About and scroll down to find the version of your modem firmware..

As the year 2008 comes to a close, I’ve learnt a lot and keeping all that in mind, here’s what I wish to achieve with DailyApps in 2009.. I did write something similar outlining my goals for 2008, but to be honest I’ve failed myself..

Here’s what I had wished last year and didn’t quite achieve it this year.. I hope to achieve it this year atleast..

• Reach 7500 RSS subscribers (currently at 1300+)
  Didn’t manage to achieve that.. Currently at nearly 3000 subscribers

• Average 30,000 daily page views (currently at 10,000)
  Around 20,000 at the moment, so didn’t achieve this as well.
• Generate $2,000 in monthly revenues (currently at $0).
  Achieved it earlier in the year, but didn’t quite manage to keep it consistent
• Increase the posting frequency to 3-4 posts a day (currently at 1-2 posts a day)
  The mother of all problems, I simply haven’t been able to post much on DailyApps this year
• Enter the Alexa Top 20,000 (currently at 45,000+)
  Alexa changed their methods half way through the year, so this doesn’t count.
• Increase the average comments per post to 15 (currently at 5)
  Something that I’ve managed to achieve this year.. I am happy
• Enter the Technorati Top 1000 (Currently in Top 5K)
  Never made it, fell backwards instead
• To be a widely cited tech blog in the blogosphere
  Yes I did manage to achieve that, when I was blogging regularly..
• Get a professional blog design from Chris Pearson
  Chris doesn’t do blog designs anymore, so I might use his premium theme
  sometime..
• To develop a strong and vibrant community around dailyApps.
  I’m proud of the community around DailyApps.. You guys have been amazing..

DailyApps is over an year old now, and its been a journey of a lifetime for me.. As I have outlined in the last post I wrote, life has taken dramatic turns this year, and I simply haven’t been able keep up with all the pressure and work..
