Get ‘Find my iPhone’ to Work on iPhone 3GS and Other Unsupported Devices

23 Nov, 2010 by Raju PP

As I told you yesterday, Apple announced that their popular app - Find my iPhone has gone free with the iOS 4.2.1 release. In their press release, they clearly mentioned that the free service is available only for the latest set of devices - iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and iPad.

The free Find My iPhone feature is available for iPhone 4, iPad or new iPod touch (4th generation)

Obviously many people (including me) who own the not-so-old iDevices like iPhone 3GS or iPod Touch 3G felt cheated and deprived since Find my iPhone is a really useful and must have app. But don't fret yet! you might still be able to use the free service on your old iPhone 3GS/3G/2G or iPod Touch 3G/2G!

How to get Find my iPhone to work on iPhone 3GS

Black Friday 2010 can't get any better. If you were looking to pocket yourself an Apple iPad this holiday season, you are in for a treat. TJ Maxx and Marshalls will be offering a $100 discount on the iPad this Black Friday, November 26 2010. The price is for the entry-level 16GB iPad and the news originally broke on Engadget, and was confirmed by T J Maxx on Twitter. That’s a huge saving of $100 off the usual starting price.
Is iPad 2 Coming Soon?
New iPads for $100 less than they cost at Apple? or Best Buy? How can that be? Seth Weintraub over on 9 to 5 Mac has an interesting post on why this might be. Among the possibilities he notes that perhaps Apple produced too many and wants to clear out inventory before the iPad 2 comes or, on the other hand, Apple wasn’t to lock up the tablet market before the Android Tablet market truly leaves the station. For now, let's cheer the $100 discount for the current iPads. Unfortunately, it looks like the stores will only have a limited quantity to go around, and the company that owns both...
