According to a recently published Apple Support article, jailbreaking is the cause of lots of problems on the iPhone. The summary of the article sums it up pretty well;
“This article is about adverse issues experienced by customers who have made unauthorized modifications to the iPhone OS (this hacking process is often called ”jailbreaking”). Issues that have been encountered include instability, disruption of services, [...]
For better or worse, it seems that those much loved Google Voice apps are going to remain out of the App Store and now the discussion of who is truly to blame seems to be continuing. Personally, this felt like more of an Apple move as opposed to AT&T, but many have been blaming AT&T [...]

Here’s an interesting solution for anyone who has a killer idea for an iPhone app but doesn’t know the first thing about software development: Moobila turns your idea into an app and markets it on the App Store.
Actually, the company specializes in turning existing corporate software into iPhone apps, thereby eliminating the need to train or hire programmers.
But Moobila also provides an opportunity for budding entrepreneurs to see their ideas turned into potentially money-making software. You pay for the development; you keep whatever revenue it generates.
Want to see a few proofs of concept? Moobila has already developed three iPhone apps, including tape-measure replacement iFlipMeasure and iPicolo, which lets you upload a photo to multiple social-networking sites at once.
You’ll have to contact Moobila for a quote, of course, as no two apps are alike when it comes to development. But hourly rates start at around $15-20, according to a company rep.
Update: Article updated 7/31/09 at 8:50 am with more details about the app’s projected release.
Good news for humorists–a dedicated mobile app for comedic video site Funny or Die will be coming to your iPhone, eventually.
Web content platform Babelgum announced on Thursday an exclusive wireless deal with Funny or Die to bring videos from the latter to mobile applications like the iPhone. Look for a Funny or Die app to hit Apple’s iPhone App Store sometime in the very near future. Babelgum tells us it submitted the software to Apple for consideration on Thursday.
The license agreement also allows Babelgum to integrate Funny or Die videos into the comedy channel of Babelgum apps. Babelgum, which streams videos in film, music, and other categories, says it will also feature a Funny or Die section on its online comedy channel.
The exclusive wireless partnership between the two companies will last for two years.
Note: Funny or Die features some video clips with mature themes.
(Credit: Apple, Inc.)We recently encountered a new problem syncing with iTunes after updating an iPhone to OS 3.0. After updating, the iPhone began to sync properly, then stalled, ending in “error 13019.”
(Credit: David Martin)We researched the issue and found an Apple support document with details about error 13019 and two possible solutions. The document explains that the problem is usually caused by syncing music and recommends that you remove all music syncing, sync your iPhone, then add music back and sync one last time. If you’re lucky, this step may fix the problem. We weren’t so lucky, however, and found ourselves hunting for other iPhone media–apps, voice memos, ringtones, podcasts, movies, TV shows, audiobooks–that might have caused the problem.
Troubleshooting this issue is tedious and involves going to each media type (listed above), unchecking it in iTunes, syncing to remove the media, then adding back the media by checking it in iTunes, and finally syncing again. Eventually, you’ll find the media type that is causing the problem. Apple recommends then leaving that media type unchecked to prevent it from syncing with your iPhone–not a thrilling solution.
We found the error 13019 being discussed on Apple’s discussions boards here and here and–as luck would have it–there is an easier solution.

Users discovered that voice memo syncing, specifically, causes error 13019 and it occurs whenever voice memos are selected in the Sync Music panel by selecting Include voice memos in iTunes (see photo above). If you uncheck them, your iPhone will likely sync normally. However, we ended up deleting our voice memos from our iPhone before it would sync without errors again. Once we did this, iTunes syncing no longer produced the 13019 error.
Due to this bug, we don’t recommend using the Voice Memo app on your iPhone or syncing voice memos in iTunes until Apple fixes the problem. If you absolutely have to use the app, consider turning off voice memo syncing in iTunes first.
