As expected, the iPhone Dev-Team has finally released the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 via Redsn0w 0.9.6 RC9 and PwnageTool 4.3.

We have heard that the next version of the Android, Ice Cream, is supposed to combine Gingerbread with Honeycomb but the folks over at Phandroid have gotten inside track on some additional info. It looks like Google TV may become part of the bundle as well. While Google TV has gotten off to a rocky start, incorporating it into the Android platform would seem like a smart move for Google.

So what exactly does this mean? It could actually mean a number of things. One thing we can count is consistency. All of Google’s devices (TVs, tablets, and phones) would be running off of the same source More >

Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Update (Build 7.0.7390.0) has become controversial as of late for no good reason. Although the update is now present but still not available for all the carriers.

On devices listed on Microsoft’s website as “delivering update” this should work, including T-Mobile HD7′s. Here’s what you have to do:

  1. Start Zune
  2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the More >

Rebel Micro SIM-card is another iPhone unlocking SIM like Gevey SIM, which helps to bypass the network unlock for iPhone 4 on iOS 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.3 on basebands 1.59.00, 03.10.01, 02.10.04 and 04.10.01 without having jailbreaking your device.

Rebel Micro SIM-card is priced at $65, slightly less than Gevey SIM and launching at the Gadget Show Live and starts shipping from April 6th. It is important to note that these SIM interposers require calling to an emergency number which is against the Law. We would instead suggest you to wait for iPhone Dev Teams free 56-bit NCK Ultrasn0w

According to a recent post, RIM has been considering ways to expand its BlackBerry Messenger platform to iOS and Android devices, with a release coming soon in the App Store. RIM apparently wasn’t happy about the hundreds of apps clearly inspired by BBM available for iPhones and iPads, and decided to develop a version of Messenger that doesn’t have all the features available to BlackBerry owners, but still allows iOS users to communicate with their friends and family. A compromise, that is, to have BlackBerry Messenger available on as many platforms as possible.
