The iOS 4.1 jailbreak release date could be as early as this weekend.

This particular iOS 4.1 jailbreak is designed to work with the latest hardware which means it will work on the iPad, iPhone 4 and the 4th generation iPod touch. [Read more…]

When Skype for Android was released a few days ago, US users, as well as a few others, lacked the ability to make 3G calls.

Thanks to some smart hackers, 3G Skype calling is now possible on a number of devices. To get it to work, you need to sideload a modified version of the application. [Read more…]

The next generation webOS device could include a 1GHz processor. This isn’t really interesting for those running the latest generation Android and other various smartphones as 1GHz has been around a while now.

However, those running a Palm Pre Plus and the likes, are currently stuck at 600Mhz which makes a 1GHz jump a nice step for those owners.

Not much is known about the next generation webOS based device. What we do know is that HP will of course make it, and it will run webOS 2.0 from what we understand. We have heard that it is code-named Palm Mansion. [Read more…]

A document leaked shows a few more details about the Samsung Transform. The Transform is seen in the documentation sporting a four row QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard looks similar to what is being used in the Samsung Epic 4G.

The documents also reveal that the Transform will run a stock version of Android 2.2 rather than a modified UI such as TouchWiz. This of course could change when the device lands, but for now it appears that stock is the way forwards for the device. [Read more…]

The Samsung Omnia7 i8700 has been spotted and captured on video. The Omnia7 looks to have the Samsung Hub as part of Windows Phone 7 that allows you to view the weather, news as well as get other bits of information.

The device looks to be quite slim with a large screen on the front. Not much is known about what runs inside other than the obvious minimum specs that Microsoft attach to a chassis 1 type phone. [Read more…]

The T-Mobile G2 has a “feature” built-in that certainly will upset a few people.

When rooting the device, a microchip embedded inside prevents permanent changes from being made and basically restores the G2 back to factory settings with a fresh firmware install. The chip essentially stops you from modifying your phone as you wish. [Read more…]

A senior VP at HP (Eric Cador) said over in Barcelona at a recent conference… “you will see us coming early next year with new phones,”.

He didn’t particularly specify what phones would be arriving, as in what OS, but I think it’s safe to think that he is referring to webOS. Note that he also said Phones and not just a Phone meaning that two or more smartphones could be landing early next year. [Read more…]

Google provided an update to the Goolge App yesterday on the iPhone. A new feature added to the Google App includes Google Goggles that allows you to take a picture of an object and have Google scan and recognise what it is.

The Googles service has been on Android devices for several months now and this is the first time you have been able to run it on your iPhone.

Rather than downloading it as a single application, you now just load up the Google App and when doing a search you can now hit a camera icon that is situated next to the voice icon. [Read more…]

Samsung has a goal of shifting 10 million Samsung Galaxy S smartphones within the first year of launch. Just a few months after launching the smartphone around the world they have already hit 5 million. Just a month ago an announcement was made that 1 million of them had been shifted in the US.

It’s hard to say if they will reach the 10 million target as demand for the phone will naturally die down as various other Android smartphones get launched. However, they are off to a good start.

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab around the corner, this will also boost sales of the range of Galaxy Class devices. [Read more…]
