The Commonwealth bank has recently launched an app that will allow home buyers to easily see the sale history, median price, buying/selling conditions, property hotspots and capital growth trends. It also has videos, articles and home buying guides for first home buyers, renovators and investors. As you would expect the app is a big advertisement for the Commonwealth Bank and has tools to work out loans with them.

The main feature of this application is however the augmented reality of it, which you will need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 to take advantage of. This feature allows you to hold up the phone and view whatever you are looking at  via the camera and overlay text and images on top. It uses this to great effect to show information about the house you are looking at, such as previous sale price.

The app itself looks and works well. It is a great way for the bank to leverage a new technology and build up some free press about themselves. Let me know in the comments below what you think of the app?

iPhone 4, iOS 4.0 jailbreak

Author: Tim | Filed under: Technology

If you thought using the last jailbreak for the iPhone was easy, Spirit, get ready for the new one. Comex, along with the rest of the iPhone Dev Team have launched www.jailbreakme.com, a site that allows you to jailbreak the iPhone from within the phone’s browser. That’s right without any cables, connecting to a computer or typing lines of code.

iPhone 4, iOS 4 jailbreak

Just go to www.jailbreakme.com on your iPhone and swipe the “slide to jailbreak” button and the rest is done for you within minutes! You don’t even have to reboot the phone. I don’t think we will ever see a jailbreak as good or as easy as this again. The iPhone Dev Team really have outdone themselves this time.

Feel free to drop those boys a donation if your feeling the love.
