Verizon recently released data plan pricing for its version of the iPad 2 and many of you are probably wondering how it compares to AT&T’s plan. AT&T recently released their plan which gives users the option of being billed for their service rather than having to pre-pay. The two plans are roughly equivalent, though Verizon offers a discount for the heaviest data users. A recent study showing AT&T still with a dominant lead on download speeds, however, may give data hogs pause: Verizon users might get the bandwidth for less money but it will be slower.

AT&T is still planning to offer the two More >

Hackers have finally managed to port Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a jailbroken iPhone 3G.

The OS seems a bit sluggish, which isn’t surprising since the iPhone 3G has a much slower processor than most recent Android (or iOS) devices — and since the operating system wasn’t really designed for the hardware, everything else seems to be working fine as can be seen in the video embedded below:
