Untethered, all encompassing iDevice “Spirit” jailbreak coming soon. (This Friday?)

  • April 28, 2010 11:19 pm

Jailbreakers and liberators unite! Untethered jailbreaking for any and all iDevices is coming very soon by way of the Spirit Jailbreak. Like the title says, the jailbreak will be untethered meaning there’ll be no need to babysit your USB cord/computer whilst cracking open Apple’s shackled beauty.

HTC Incredible slower than similarly spec’d, overclocked Moto DROID. [Video]

The HTC Inedible is as much a beast sitting in the hand as it is on paper. With a screaming fast Snapdragon processor, Sense UI, and a gorgeous AMOLED display, many are left saying “Nexus what?” But it may not be all roses and furry bunnies. A couple of videos have surfaced, compliments of a new Incredible owner showing that a Motorola DROID overclocked to 1GHz (running Pete’s Bugless Beast v1 ROM) actually beats the DROID Incredible also clocked at 1GHz. Say it isn’t so! Why yes, it appears to be…

Breaking: HP buying Palm!

If you all thought Palm was on the verge of death, with that beautiful yet stagnant webOS mobile OS going the unfortunate way of the dodo, you’re in luck. It was just announced that HP (of all companies) is purchasing Palm for $1.2 billion. We’ll follow this one as it develops folks.

In the meantime, how do you think an HP-Palm merger will play out? Good for one, the other, or both? Speculate away in the comments inside…

The coolest temperature/capacity monitoring coffee cup yet.

Real nerds like to show off their nerdy ways in as many ways as possible. Just having 17 computers, 6 cellphones, and 8 TV’s isn’t enough. No, you need to completely surround yourself with products focused on geekery. That’s specifically why you need one of the coffee cups pictured above…

Microsoft apparently owns the world. Claims Android infringes on a bajillion of their patents. Forces HTC to purchase “runs Android platform” license.

In this day and age, it’s becoming an increasingly common trait to misuse and confuse copyright law in the digital age. The simple matter of it is, you cannot place rules, business models, or regulations that were designed decades ago for physical goods on digital ones today. But alas, it is what it is. With that, we end up where we are today — Microsoft apparently realizing Android is a growing threat and instead of actually keeping their head down and putting all of their resources into Windows Phone 7, are looking to go down the legal route with Android.

If you can’t beat ‘em, sue ‘em…

Mozilla “officially” releases pre-alpha Fennec browser for Android.

  • April 27, 2010 10:14 pm

Test dummies and those who want to be on the bleeding edge of relevancy, take notice. Mozilla has decided tonight is the night to take the wraps off of Fennec for Android — “officially” — by releasing a version for mere mortals to play with. Now take heed as this release is by no means a final version. In fact, if the thought of rooting your phone or having to pull the battery to force a reboot scares you, run away fast. Very fast. But if not, continue on…

Latest iPhone 4.0 beta 2 sheds more credibility on video chat rumors.

  • April 27, 2010 6:34 pm

Video Chat — it’s one of those cell phone features that just hasn’t caught on yet here in the states. But a phone with as much media hype and mass market attention as the iPhone could sway things. Since first days of the iPhone, video chat has been on the rumor list many a times. And each time, video chat gurus get their hearts broken when Apple ignores said feature. According to an increasing amount of code found in OS 4.0 beta builds, video chat junkies could finally have their day…
