* Most of your calls will be placed via Direct Access Numbers, making them connect just as quickly as regular phone calls


Facetime seems to be the most wanted app these days. So much so that hackers have began the task in earnest. This guy has managed to boot up facetime on a 3G S iPhone and demo's it for us.

KT, Koreas second-largest mobile operator that sells the iPhone, said Sunday that it had introduced an application interconnecting the iPhone with its Web-enabled TV services, commercially called QOOK.

``Using the touch-sensitive screens of the iPhone, people can switch TV channels or change volume. The user interface would be very easy for all the subscribers,'' a KT official said.

``For tech-aware users, they can create dedicated channel lists based on their tastes. In addition, they can generate hot keys that connect them to their favorite interactive TV services such as news, weather information or road traffic data.''

Those who want to take advantage of the new features have to register their handset numbers at the QOOK TV services. Then they can download free applications from the Appstore, the treasure box of various programs.

The idea of converting a cell phone to a TV remote control is far from new because a host of other handsets offered similar features but they failed to draw attention for some reason.

Yet, people expect that things may be different for the iPhone, which has more often than not made folks go wild with even existing ideas.

The iPhone made its debut here in late November, a couple of years later than other markets due to domestic regulations obliging all handsets to be equipped with a homegrown mobile Internet platform.

Despite the late release, more than 700,000 have been sold in half a year and it has introduced the smartphones fad. Hence, many people believe the iPhone's remote control feature will make a difference.

It remains to be seen whether the universal iPhone would replace living room remotes. Market watchers appear to think that the chances are extremely thin ? who wants to use their iPhones for TV control? But who knows? This is an iPhone.[ Source Korea Times ]
