LG looks to have accidentally published details on the upcoming LG Optimus 7. The Optimus 7 is another Windows Phone 7 device.

Details about the device show that it has a 3.8 inch WVGA screen and a 5 megapixel camera. For storage it has 16GB on-board. [Read more…]

Details of the Sony Google TV leaked early a few days back. Along with the leaked details came some prices. We now hear that the prices were incorrect. It’s not all bad news though as we have heard that the prices are actually a little lower with the top end screen cosing $1399 ($500 cheaper than originally rumored).
Exact details of how much the other screens have dropped is not known at the moment, but Sony Insider does comment that all screens are dropping in price. [Read more…]
Last time we heard, Geohot had left the iOS jailbreak scene. We now see that he is back and has released Limera1n. Limera1n allows you to jailbreak iOS 4.1 on several devices which includes the iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G all using 4.0-4.1.
The new iOS 4.1 jailbreak uses a different exploit to what the GreenPois0n jailbreak does and because of this, the team behind GreenPois0n (that uses SHAtter), have decided to delay the launch so that Apple [AAPL] doesn’t have the opportunity to patch two exploits. [Read more…]
I have a lovely, lovely laptop that plays the latest games and does everything I need it to plus more but the battery takes a pounding. Equally, I have a lovely, lovely new phone and again the battery life takes quite the beating if everything is switched on. Usually its down to the automatic updates, auto syncing and the like and any other big, signature features that tend to suck the battery juice dry.

You may not remember, but way back when computers weren’t too well equipped enough to power any kind of graphics to speak of, one craze that quickly grew amongst the more ‘geeky’ or ‘nerdy’ groups was the ‘text-based adventure’ first realised during the mid 1970’s. [Read more…]
The glass back of the iPhone is prone to scratching. Scratching the back is as easy as sitting the phone on a desk and sliding it along.
As well as being able to easily scratch the back, the glass is also scratched when using some third-party cases. This happens when some dust gets trapped between the case and the back of the phone and when the case is slid on or off.
The Apple store has a lack of cases available for the phone and instead, is now just offering the bumper case on the site. [Read more…]
iFixit has followed tradition and has now managed to get hold of a Nokia N8 to tear apart.
The N8s unique feature is that it has a 12 megapixel camera sensor. To cram the sensor in, Nokia actually made the camera protrude out of the case a little to keep the casing thinner.
The camera flash uses a Xenon flash tube that is similar to those found in real cameras. [Read more…]
