Apple has finally decided that with the new parental controls now built into the iPhone 3.0, nudity can now be approved in App Store. The first app to have nude pictures is Hottest Girls [$1.99, App Store link]. This app is not new, its always been there, but has been updated and has added girls in bikinis and lingerie to topless girls.

Macenstein shared this bit of info - “We uploaded nude topless pics today. This is the first app to have nudity,” writes Hottest Girls’ developer Allen Leung, in what can only be described as an announcement rivaling the first transmissions from the moon landing in importance.

Here is how Parental Controls in iPhone works:
Parental restrictions can be turned on in Settings -> General -> Restrictions in your iPhone. If an App falls outside of the allowed rating they will simply disappear off your home screen. Once you turn the restrictions off again, the affected apps reappear.

Hottest Girls does carry a 17+ Rating for “Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity” and “Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes”.

Interesting information - iPhone 3GS bill of material and feature set shows that it costs the same to build 16GB iPhone 3GS as the previous model (8GB iPhone 3G) reports iSuppli.

“The entry-level, 16Gbyte version of Apple Inc.’s new iPhone 3G S carries a BOM cost of $172.46 and a manufacturing expense of $6.50, for a total of $178.96,” said Andrew Rassweiler, director and principal analyst, teardown services, for iSuppli. “This is slightly higher than iSuppli’s estimate of $174.33 for the original 8Gbyte iPhone 3G based on pricing in July 2008. Although the retail price of the 16Gbyte iPhone 3G S is $199, the same as for the 8Gbyte version of the original iPhone 3G, the actual price of the phone paid by the service provider is considerably higher, reflecting the common wireless industry practice of subsidizing the upfront cost of a mobile phone and then making a profit on subscriptions.”

New OS3 - iPhone Tips & Tricks
Author - Kittu Dhanoa

1. Previously you could sync iPhone calendar with Google via microsoft active sync techonology and this had many limitations like you could only sync one account.

Now you can sync your calender using the new CalDAV support in iPhone OS 3.0 -
Read On: What this means is that any event you create on iphone calender will sync with your Google calender and Vice Versa.

Ok now how to do this:
Open settings and navigate to ‘Mail, Contacts,Calenders. Select ‘Add Account’ and then click on ‘other’. In the others menu select ‘CalDav Account’.
Now in the account details - write ‘www.google.com‘ for the server. and then your full gmail address and password in the account deatails. Give a description to your calender.
Hit next and after your settings are verified your account will be enabled.
Very convenient and remember your iphone calender has push capabilities. Cool.
—————————————————————————–

2. I don’t know if any of you have noticed this or not.
Previously, in order to drag a icon say from 8th screen to home screen - it was a tedious job, what with dragiing and dropping the icons on to the subsequent screen till you reach the desired screen or drag the icon to the dock bar and then drop to the desired screen.
But now if you drag the icon to the edge of the screen and keep it there , you will see that the screens will simply rush by till you come to the desired screen where you simply drag the icon to the centre and drop. Very convenient and fast to arrange the app icon now.
