Developer Notes :

At last you can easily get your Hotmail on your iPhone. m*Box Mail is designed to help you get your Hotmail as you are used to getting your Hotmail. It is like the “native” or built-in mail application on the iPhone – only it speaks the Windows Live Hotmail protocol.

Finally, you can have your Hotmail messages and folders on your iPhone screen ready to use at a moment’s notice. No more trying to log onto a Web site and struggling through your email. Instead you can access your Hotmail, organize it, delete it and send it — all from your iPhone, with the familiar iPhone user interface you’ve become so adept at using.

And we were thinking that the price( around $700) of iPhone 3G in India were absurd, in France FNAC is now selling free-of-contract iPhones, where 8GB model costs $1,123 and 16GB costs $1,263.

Only plus point that it is contract free but is that enough to make a big hole in your pocket. When At&t is planning to start selling $99 iphone with 2 year contract. If Vodafone or Airtel offered plans like At&t in India, they must have found more customers.

So you bought unlocked iPhone and wondering how to get the Airtel GPRS/Edge plan activated on iPhone.

Here are the steps to get the task done:

1. Call up the Airtel Customer Care on 121, ask them about the GPRS plans they are offering, like we are using the Mobile Office plan, which offers unlimited browsing and downloading for 20Rs per day. So, pick up your plan and tell them to activate for you.

2. In iPhone go to Settings >> General >> Network >> EDGE
and enter

APN: Airtelgprs.com
Username: Leave it blank
Password: Leave it blank

Thats it, now just wait to get the plan activated and you are good to go, no more setting are required :-)

Update: After upgrading to iPhone 2.2 firmware i was not able to see the EDGE settings under Network, but GPRS worked fine without even doing any settings at all. So, if you are not able to see the EDGE tab under Settings>>General>>Network don’t worry just get your GPRS activated, it will work fine.

Pretty simple cool app, if you want to take a picture of your dog and its getting hard to make him/her look into the camera. Just use the Bow Cam, which makes your iPhone bark as soon as you press on the “BOW” button, grabs attention of your dog and takes the picture :-)
