This quirky-looking iphone 4 case by USB Fever has one unique feature most other cases lack: a dual SIM card slot. For $30 you get a case, room for an additional SIM card, and a dual-SIM adapter.

Sadly that hasn’t been the case for most on the web, and by the looks of it there’s no light at the end of that tunnel.”) And the general idea itself goes back even further – Wired proclaimed the browser was dead in 1997, as he points out.

Hot on the heels of this weekend’s release of the JailbreakMe Web-based jailbreak tool for iOS devices, users with jailbroken iphone 4s can now think about installing My3G from Intelliborn, which was just updated to enable FaceTime video calling over 3G connections.

My3G essentially tricks a user’s phone into thinking it is on Wi-Fi instead of 3G, allowing users to access a number of features and types of content typically restricted to Wi-Fi connections. My3G is typically available to jailbroken iPhones via Rock Your iphone for $3.99, but the site is currently down due to the high traffic load.
