Hold Up…That Shiny new DS Lite may have to wait.

Posted on November 16th, 2007 by Ed / Add Comment »

If you were going to buy yourself or your spoilt rotten kids a shiny new Nintendo DS Lite for Christmas. Avoid the screaming sessions and, think AGAIN. (Possibly. See end of post for final decision)

As soon as your little boy/girl realizes that her/his brand new DS isn’t as shiny as the new facelifted model, what will he/she say? Oh Yes, Nintendo maybe making a few tweaks here and there so you may want to hold off. According to Gamespot, as soon as the sales of the current model slow, BAM!

Nokia haven’t closed the door on Google’s Android OS.

Posted on November 7th, 2007 by Ed / Add Comment »

If you haven’t heard about the official Google OS, they’ve announced it and it’s codenamed Android. You’ve heard about the Google OS and GPhone from here already, but, yes, you guessed it’s been confirmed.

Google said that they are going to leave the manufacturing to companies like LG, Samsung, HTC (Being their main dealer), and some other manufacturers not fortunate enough to be listed here as you wouldn’t know who they are. Korean and Chinese? Yes.

Out of their list, is noticeably Apple (of course) and Nokia.
This is where the headline comes in. Nokia have said that they have definitely not shut More…

Okay, okay. Something that was extremely easy already is, well easier. If that’s possible.

For all you guys running v1.1.1 iPod Touch or iPhone, yup your time has come to finally enable (or re-enable) third party applications on your device.

Thanks to the hackers, including: metasploit, rezn, dinopio, drudge, kroo, pumpkin, davidc, dunham, and NerveGas, we are now able to jailbreak our phones/players to allow us to install 3rd Party Applications without using a computer on a previously untouched device. [[VISIT - JailBreakMe.com]]

For those who have no idea what this means, sorry. You kind of have to know.-Ed

Jailbreak on iPhone (and iPod Touch) v1.1.1 confirmed and sketchy details on fully unlocking

Posted on October 10th, 2007 by Ed / 2 Comments »

We’ve got a number of tip-offs via e-mail (tips [at] technoessence [dot] com) and it looks like that the iPhone has been jailbreaked, and 3rd party apps are now loadable onto the two devices. Just for clarification, does this mean that it can be unlocked, or have Apple used further security measures?

And reports that the iPhone has indeed been unlocked with v1.1.1 are somewhat true, albeit the fact that it’s supposed to take 5 hours. -Ed
