Pretty impressive looking game on Windows Phone 7 (we’ve shown you a few videos before, but these new ones are much cooler!).

The Dev-Team today announced that they will move focus from iOS 4.0.2 to the upcoming iOS 4.1. This means that you will not be able to jailbreak an iOS 4.0.2 running device, or at least the Dev-Team will not bring it.

So now, people will begin to ask: will there be a jailbreak for devices that shipped with 4.0.2/3.2.2, out of the box?

No, there won’t be.  FW 4.0.2/3.2.2 was *only* released to fix the jailbreakme hole.  With FW 4.1 still in its beta stages, it makes no sense to escalate the “cat & mouse” with Apple for FW updates that only fix the jailbreak holes. To quote WOPR, “the only winning move is not to play”.


Check out this screen comparison video between AMOLED, SLCD and LCD screen technologies.  The HTC Desire is responsible for both the AMOLED and the SLCD screen, while the HTC HD2 is responsible for the LCD screen.


A few days ago a British woman claimed that she was the world’s fastest texter on a Samsung Galaxy S with the Swype keyboard. She spelled “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human” in 25.94 seconds.

In the video above, you can see someone (Gumballtech?) write the same text in under 22 seconds on an iPhone, with a standard QWERTY-keyboard. Can you see the speed of those fingers!?
