If you want proofs that Apple’s lame cat-and-mouse game with the iPhone jailbreak community has only served to increase the scene’s creativity and resourcefulness, just look at none other than the iDongle,
iDongle is a slick piece of hacker-made hardware that can activate and jailbreak an iPod touch or iPhone 3GS running OS 3.1.2 just by plugging it into the dock connector. It also allows a jailbroken iPhone to be rebooted away from a computer device, which is currently a problem for on-the-go hackers, so just stick this guy in your bag and you will be good to go.
The pre-orders are being accepted to raise funds for production but there is only a dozen prototypes right now. I came to know that a few people are interested. Good!
Windows Phone 7 is the introduction of the first portable Xbox platform and therefore, it is not only Microsoft’s attempt to compete against Apple’s iPhone. Over at Joystiq, Xbox Live general manager Ron Pessner and XNA Game Studio manager Michael Klucher at GDC on 10th March, and he share the interview about how games integrate into the mobile platform and what developers and gamers can expect in the future.
The main topic was the company’s plans about Xbox LIve and specifically, how it would be integrating it into Windows Phone 7 Series. There was too much to discuss including the sweet science of porting games from Zune HD to 7 Series phones (”it’s 90, 95 percent code reuse in couple of hours or an hour, I am taking games that were written for Zune HD and putting them on the phone”). The importance of maintaining a consistent gameplay experience amongst different hardware and the reasoning behind limiting devices to asynchronous multiplayer.
So, it’s a time to hit the source link to embark on this miraculous journey of discovery.
Google’s Nexus One, which is the company’s first own-brand mobile phone, will be launch on Vodafone in April. It will be on sale through Google.com/phone only as it has been announced previously by the company itself. The company has not been announced Tariffs but the Nexus One is likely to be priced very similarly to comparable smartphones slike the iPhone.
The Nexus One is built by HTC and is Google’s attempt to assert the superiority of its mobile operating system Android, in the face of market dominance from Apple’s iPhone and Microsoft’s reinvigorated Windows Phone, mobile software.
It is not hidden that Vodafone’s picking up Google’s Snapdragon-powered beast but you have to lock it down to a 30-day window like this, so it is progress. With the European release of the Desire, this is going to collide head-to-head, HTC’s remix of the Nexus One with Sense and an optical pad thrown in.
Therefore, it will be nice to see which of these monsters comes out on top at retail.
I have a very simple concept i.e. pay more and get more. Therefore, it has gone with mobile phone subsidies in this phone world, a system that has served us for well over a decade.
At the customer service counter, it was never spelled out as clearly as anyone would have liked, it was fairly straightforward to understand: you bought a phone on a multi-dimensional sliding scale of functionality, novelty and attractiveness.
By and large, a pricing scale was there that matched up with it one-to-one. You understood that if you wanted a megapixel camera, or MP3 playback, a color external display then you’d pay a few more dollars and you understood also that you could knock a hundred dollars off of that number by signing up to a two-year contract. In exchange for a guaranteed revenue stream, your carrier is willing to throw you a few bucks off a handset- a square deal, all things considered.
So, why is FCC in a tizzy and how can we make it better?

What I like about it is that the new Chocolate BL40 with its large size, true-to-life image and video display supports lively rendition of images which is possible only by LCD.

I want to see actually that before the HTC Legend’s official debut, how many angles of HTC’s upcoming Legend can be snapped. Here you can see that with a touch of black plastic along the bottom, the hard-edged aluminum theme continues to wrap its way around the side to give the antenna some room to breathe. I have brought a list of its specs also, most of which match up with what you have already know:
1. 3.2-inch HVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen
2. 5 megapixel camera with LED flash
3. 600MHz Qualcomm MSM7227 processor
4. WiFi
5. Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
6. Quadband GSM / EDGE plus dualband HSPA
7. 3.5mm headphone jack
8. Magnetic compass
9. 1300mAh battery
It is no Bravo or Nexus One, but that’s the beauty of the way HTC’s love affair with Android is turning out. So, there is something for all.
Today, Google Maps 4.0 is now in the Android Market to support in the browser. It is all Buzz-ed up and ready to go.
