SMS service is very cheap in Pakistan but MMS and international text message services are still expensive. How whatsapp can replace your stock messaging app, we will discuss it here:

What is whatsapp

Unlike others apps, whatsapp is cross-platform app, meaning that it can run over iphone, android, blackberry and Symbian (beta) OS.

Using whatsapp you can send or receive text messages, pictures, share audio file, your current location and more with other handsets installed with whatsapp.

How it works

Whatsapp uses your phone number as your USER ID and after installation it checks your handset contact list and those who are using whatsapp will be appear on your whatsapp messenger – it’s so easy to configure.

But both parties should have whatsapp installed on their Phone in order to receive or send messages.

Requirements

Supported handset,
Unlimited data plan preferably a Wi-Fi enabled phone for better and less expensive internet

Pricing & Availability

Iphone 0.99 $
Blackberry Free
Android 1.99USD/Year
Symbian 1.99USD/year

Geo News Gets its iPhone Application named as “GEO DOST”

Mee — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 07:02:07 +0000

As all the major news companies, around the world, have their own iPhone apps for the latest news and even some apps offer breaking news notifications.

Finally Geo News, Pakistan’s major news channel, has come up with its own news app which is free and is still in the top 25 apps in Pakistan AppStore

App has a very nice interface with a few options available as well. You can go through latest news, watch some funny videos and an option to upload pictures and videos directly for a programme named as “GEO DOST”.

In my view this is a very useful opportunity for the companies/channels of Pakistan to go mobile.

New Worm Shows The Dangers Of iPhone Jailbreaking

ahmed — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:07:32 +0000

Not long after the first proof of concept for iPhone malware surfaced, a piece of genuine malware for the iPhone has been spotted in the wild. For the overwhelming majority of iPhone users, this really isn’t much of a problem. Phones which have been activated and updated through iTunes are in no way vulnerable to either attack. Only phones which have been jailbroken and equipped with SSH are subject to the attack, which can be thwarted by changing the SSH password from the default.

But how do you change the SSH password? And what is the SSH default password anyway? If you have to ask yourself these questions, you may want to give some serious thought to restoring your jailbroken iPhone to its original settings. Running a jailbroken iPhone might not be for you.

In the early days, jailbreaking was performed by users who wanted to run third party apps on their iPhones. It was really the only way to get software installed and running until the App Store opened up. As jailbreaking became more popular, the process was streamlined and made much, much easier to do, This, however, glossed over the fact that you were performing a fairly serious modifaction on your phone, one which released Apple’s own security protections. If you aren’t very aware of what this means and how you can deal with it, then jailbreaking your iPhone probably isn’t be best idea.

That’s not to say that I think jailbreaking your iPhone is wrong or dangerous on its own, if you know what you’re doing. Many of those who do run jailbroken phones are well aware of the danger of leaving a default password in place, and most of those users have long since closed up such a hole. Others, however, have jailbroken their handsets without really understanding what they were getting into, and perhaps this should serve as a wakeup call for those users to either read up on managing a jailbroken iPhone, or get back behind Apple’s walled garden.
