[Infographic] iOS 5 vs. iOS 4: What's New With Apple's Latest Mobile Software? Jailbreak iOS 5 iPhone, iPad, iPod touch Successful [PICTURES. Advertisements Yes you read that right, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has posted some pictures on his twitter account, confirming the jailbreak works fine on iOS 5, but of course it is limited to tethered boot only, which means you will have to connect it to your computer on every reboot. According to his initial testing, Cydia appears to be working just fine on his jailbroken 4th-gen iPod touch, he managed to install SSHing utility app called iSSH successfully, which can be seen in one of the screenshots below. Apple released iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch yesterday at the WWDC conference in San Francisco.

iOS 5, available in beta 1 form, is currently available to developers only. NFC Coming to Bulk of BlackBerrys This Year, Says RIM. Research In Motion is banking on the potential of near field communications technology and the willingness of consumers to adopt revolutionary mobile payment systems as a new way of life. According to RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie, “Many if not most of BlackBerry devices throughout the year will have NFC in them.” On Wednesday, Mobile Marketing Watch covered the headline-worthy comments of Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt, who told reporters gathered in Barcelona, Spain this week at the Mobile World Congress that wireless transactions are potentially so profitable that a forthcoming fleet of new Android smartphones will be outfitted with near-field communication technology.

Between Google’s stated interest in NFC and Apple’s rumored investment in the technology ahead of summer’s anticipated release of the iPhone 5, Research in Motion simply joins the growing contingency of mobile industry giants eager to ride the NFC bandwagon all the way to the bank.

Google n'a pas fini de s'embourber dans des méandres juridiques (notamment avec Oracle, voir cette news) car il est encore une fois traîné devant les tribunaux par Florian Mueller, un spécialiste des licences libres, pour violation de la licence GNU GPL. La GNU General Public License (GNU étant un acronyme récursif pour Gnu Is Not Unix) est une licence qui fixe les conditions légales de distribution des logiciels libres du projet GNU. Elle définit notamment la notion de Copyleft (jeu de mots anglais avec Copyright à qui elle s'oppose) qui autorise l'utilisateur à avoir accès au code source d'un programme, à le modifier et à le redistribuer sous réserve qu'il soit aussi sous licence GNU GPL (donc modifiable, re-distribuable, etc.).

Et c'est précisément sur ce point que Google n'aurait pas joué le jeu. Le problème est que la firme ne redistribue pas le code Dalvik, elle en est propriétaire et viole donc le principe du Copyleft.

Countless phone calls, mountains of email, endless warring with legions of trolls. Really, you’ve got to be pretty hardcore to do this job. It’s a wonder we ever get any posts up. Which is my half-hearted explanation as to why it’s taken me this long to reveal the truth about something that I’m sure all of you find extremely important. So, without any further ado, here it is: the version of Android that comes after Honeycomb (in other words, the one after next), is not going to be called Ice Cream, which seems to be the general consensus among tech bloggers.

It’s going to be called Ice Cream Sandwich. Android chief Andy Rubin told me so. It was mentioned in passing as he spoke with Michael Arrington and me about the Nexus S, which was released last month. Android devotees already know that each operating system update is given the name of a dessert, and that these names have gone in alphabetical order (Donut, Eclair, etc.). Part de marché des OS Smartphone selon Asymco. iPhone 5G – 30 Day Battery Life With Liquidmetal Fuel Cell. We all have different opinions as to which is the best phone or tablet on the market, it all comes down to personal preference and how the device works within your daily routine. But one area that we can all agree on is the lack of battery life.

Now I know there are some that are better than others, but surely we are settling ourselves into what we think is the norm. Things however could be set to change as Apple has secured its first patent for Liquidmetal, a new innovation in space-age metal alloy. While as Leander Kahney from Cult of Mac says, you would assume that a metal alloy composite would be the ideal base for casings or antenna application on to Apple’s next gen iPad 2 or iPhone 5. Using the Liquidmetal (or as the patent describes “amorphous alloy”), Apple is looking into designing an electrochemical battery, which generates electricity from hydrogen. The Liquidmetal provides a high-strength, scratch-resistant, super lightweight material that would be ideal for external use. Envie d'acheter un Windows Phone: le guide d'achat en infographie.

ASUS PadFone Announcement in video. Meet the MeeGo Netbooks. They’re Shipping Now. Despite the controversy surrounding MeeGo after Nokia decided to hitch its wagon to Windows Phone 7, Intel is still promoting the platform in a major way. This week, the company introduced a new Tablet UX for MeeGo and it also devoted an entire pavilion to demonstrating the operating system’s ability to work in everything from handsets to in-car entertainment systems. When we visited the pavilion, we were surprised to see three MeeGo-based netbooks, which an Intel rep informed us are currently shipping to select markets. Two of the three 10-inch netbooks on display were the Lenovo S10-3 and the Fujitsu MH330, now being sold with MeeGo in Russia or other parts of Asia. The third netbook, pictured above, is an iRU Intro 102, which has the standard netbook specs of a 1.66-GHz Atom N450 CPU, 1024 x 600 screen, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, and Wi-Fi. Check out the video below for a closer look at the MeeGo minis.
