Latest Gadgets, Tablets and Smartphones
Geeky Gadgets has created another custom type stand for the iPad/iPhone. The latest device lets you connect both units together and allows you to use the two screens to surf on one while watching something on the other device.
The iPad/iPhone connector is made from some U shaped plastic. To built it you just need a 24 CM length of the plastic along with some glue, scissors, paint and a Dremel to smooth the edges off. [Read more…]

We know a lot of things about the Samsung Galaxy Tab now. However, pricing is still a little unknown in some areas. We hear reports today that the Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile in the US will have a price tag of $399 after a $50 mail in rebate. This looks to be a subsidized price as the full price is listed as $649.99 as seen in the image below.
Specs are also confirmed (again) on the image below and confirm that it has a 7.0 inch multitouch screen with a resolution of 1024×600 pixels. It will run the latest version of Google Android which is 2.2. It will have a rear facing 5 megapixel camera and a 1.3 megapixel on the front of the device. [Read more…]

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…]

The image (render?) shows a T-Mobile branded HTC HD7. It is expected that the T-Mobile version will ship with 16GB of memory which is double what the other variants will get. RAM wise, it is expected to get 576MB. [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.

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…]

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.
