HTC ThunderBolt getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread update in Q2

The HTC ThunderBolt was launched just last week, yet a big update for the device is already in the works. According to Droid-Life, the ThunderBolt will get an update to Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread, in Q2 2011 – that means ThunderBolt owners out there will have Gingerbread on their devices in two months or less! News of the Gingerbread update was actually sent to a ThunderBolt owner via email by HTC. The ThunderBolt owner contacted HTC to resolve issues with Bluetooth, and the HTC representative replied with an email containing expected updates for the device, including news that a Gingerbread update is planned for Q2. HTC hasn’t made this new official yet, so it’s likely the HTC representative let a planned announcement slip. While it may seem like the GingerBread update is coming...

HTC EVO 3D phone records, plays 3D video

Sprint this week unveiled the HTC EVO 3D, the latest iteration in its popular smartphone line, and the first EVO to utilize glasses-free 3D tech. In most ways, the EVO 3D resembles the original EVO handset: Note the 4.3-inch display, the 4G connectivity, the Android operating system – this model gets the Android Gingerbread OS – an Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor, and the dual cameras. The difference here is that one of the two cameras on the EVO 3D can be set to record 3D video. According to CNET, a toggle switch on the right side of the phone allows users to flick between 2D – at 1080-pixels – and 3D – at 720-pixels – recording options. (See above for a look at the 3D camera on the new EVO phone.) A press release for the...

New iPad 2 (iPhone 5 Too ?) Jailbreak Via SHAtter – GreenPois0n Coming Soon ?

While the iPhone 4 unlock is, for now, a lost battle, the iOS jailbreaking-community is apparently still more than able to best Apple. Just recently we told you that the iPad 2 was not jailbreakable out of the box as Apple has patched both the Limera1n and SHAtter exploits that would otherwise offer a jailbreak-for-life to all the iOS devices launched until the next-gen Apple tablet.

[SHAtter Exploit Said to be Fixed for A5 Chips; Does This Mean a GreenPois0n iPad 2 Jailbreak Is en Route?] But the iPad 2 was soon jailbroken, sooner than we initially thought actually, and today we hear that the SHAtter exploit might still work on the iPad 2.

Hacked SIM card allows jailbreak on iphone 4

A new hardware-based iPhone 4 hack unlocks devices running everything up to and including iOS 4.3, though it carries a $70 price tag and a couple of headache-inducing attached strings. In the world of Apple‘s mobile devices, non-practitioners often confuse jailbreaking and unlocking. With the former, you are removing Apple’s built-in restrictions from your iOS gadget while with the latter — and this is true of all mobile devices, really — you are freeing up your tech to be used with wireless service providers that don’t sell or support it. Unlocking tends to be a little bit trickier than jailbreaking, for obvious reasons. It usually involves some sort of software hack, using a PC/Mac-side application like Ultrasn0w. Unlockers now have...

Hands on with the HTC Flyer, Evo View 4G, and Evo 3D

I think 3D is hilarious. It’s cute, really. I take my little ones to the theater and they enjoy putting the glasses on, jumping from left to right when it seems that the thing on the screen will jump right out and snatch them up. It’s a generally fun experience, a terrific diversion, but then we take the glasses off and return to our normal optical experience until our next trip to the theater. When 3D TV’s became commonplace at tech events, I was less amused. The idea that I would sit with those glasses on in my own home and watch TV was not the same. For starters, who is ever watching TV and not doing something else? I almost always have a laptop, a book, a tablet, or my phone in front of my when TV is on. With that, I’m sure you can...

Video-Unlock iphone 4 Using Gevey Unlock Method

Until DevTeam posts an update about the unlock progress on twitter, people can try out the Gevey Unlock method which has been reported to unlock iPhone 4 BB – 3.10/4.10, that is, all firmware starting from iOS 4.0 to iOS 4.3. The method works on a sim interposer which forcibly activate the baseband using the emergency dialer.

When the network connection is resumed, you will be unlocked. The method is not suggested as the given number cannot be dialed in many countries....

Apple Blacklists iPad 2 Buyers

Apple store at the Gateway in Salt Lake City, Utah to purchase two iPad 2s that would go on sale at 9:00 AM the next morning. I was informed by one employee that night that I would not be able to buy any more iPad 2s because I have bought some already before. Every single iPad 2 I have bought I have waited in line for, including a 21-hour wait last week. Every iPad I have bought legitimately with absolute respect for the Apple store and others in line. But since I have been such a great customer for this past week they won't sell to me anymore? I still waited in line all night and in the morning I was still sixth in line, when the employees showed up they basically yelled at me for still being in line. They said in no way are am I getting an iPad 2. So I left to the car, after someone...

In-depth Look at: Apple's iPad 2 running iOS 4.3

Camera, FaceTime and Photo Booth The good news is that iPad 2 comes with both front and rear facing cameras, a feature omission of the original iPad that many predicted would prevent it from becoming popular. While that didn't turn out to be the case, the iPad 2's dual cameras now add it to the list of devices assisting FaceTime video calling, which Apple introduced as a feature of iPhone 4, then brought to the fourth generation iPod touch, and most recently made possible from Macs as well. It also allows iPad 2 to run a variety of photography and imaging apps available for iPhone and iPod touch users, including Apple's fun (and included) Photo Booth, which works similar to the Mac version but allows users to manipulate many of its filters...

Hacking competition leaves Android, Windows Phone 7 undefeated

From the results of the Pwn2Own hacking competition, it looks like Android and Windows Phone 7 are tough nuts to crack. It took only two days for hackers to crack into the Apple and Blackberry operating systems during the three-day Pwn2Own tournament last week, while Android and Windows Phone 7 models were abandoned and left unhacked by the end of the contest. Is this because their operating systems are more secure? Yes and no. "The survival of a target at Pwn2Own does not automatically declare it safer than a target that went down," last year's Internet Explorer Pwn2Own winner Peter Vreugdenhil cautions. The contestants who were lined up to beat the Android and WP7 devices in the competition withdrew for a variety of reasons. Pwn2Own, now in its fifth year, is a hacking competition...

Apple rethinks inventory management for iPad 2

Apple has changed its inventory management policy for iPad 2 deliveries, having its retail stores hold on to new shipments until the next day in an effort to ease the sales process for both customers and employees, AppleInsider has learned. A person familiar with Apple's retail operations informed AppleInsider this week that the new shipment of iPad 2 stock sold by some stores on Tuesday was actually delivered on Monday. Apple is said to have elected to hold the inventory for a next-day sale to grant its inventory control specialists the time to "calmly and accurately" process new shipments. It was suggested that the change could be a "lesson learned" following the launch of major in-demand products in 2010: the iPhone 4 and first-generation iPad. For those launches, Apple's reservation...

This is how it works. How Does It Work? For the user, multitasking seems to work transparently and very quickly. According to Apple, you will be able to switch between applications instantly, while the application running on the foreground—taking over the screen—won't suffer slowdowns. Using their method you will be able to answer an incoming SMS, or chat with a friend, or answer a call, and then go back to keep playing a game, just where you left it before switching to any of those tasks. Or you will be able to upload photos to Flickr but without having to keep the Flickr app open, like...
