The Chronic Dev Team is set to release an iOS 4.1 jailbreak on 10/10/10 as we previously reported. A couple days ago, the iPhone Dev Team released an update to redsn0w for Windows to jailbreak the iPhone 3G/iPod touch 2G. So far, some great news for the Jailbreak community right? Well, things have taken a...

One of the biggest complaints Canadians have is the lack of unlimited data plans from the Big Three. They claim 97% of Canadians use less than 500 MB of data per month. I have that plan, and I worry about going over the limit and accruing astronomical overcharges. Thank God, DataMan is here to save...

We recently wrote about how Xmarks is closing shop, and with it along with their iPhone app. If you're not familiar with Xmarks, it's a free solution to sync bookmarks across all your browsers on your PC/Mac. It's an amazing service and right now Xmarks needs your help to continue on. They have created an...

Now that the Apple free case program is finished, we're starting to see more iPhone 4 cases show up at Apple retail stores. That includes Apple's own bumpers in all their colourful glory. But with that also comes the $29 price tag. For some people, that price point is a little too steep - although...

One of the limitations of the iPhone 4's FaceTime feature is that it's restricted to WiFi. To make FaceTime calls over 3G requires a jailbroken iPhone and the installation of a tweak such as My3G. However, there is a way to make FaceTime calls over 3G without jailbreaking--it's through the free app called Tango. This...

Oh sure, Mac users got this treatment more than two weeks ago. But not everyone uses a Mac right? Which is exactly why the Dev-Team has just released an updated redsn0w for Windows. Before you ask, this is for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch (second generation) ONLY. More importantly: this update is NOT for ultrasn0w...

Looks like those waiting for an iOS 4.1 jailbreak have something to look forward to. @p0sixninja from the Chronic Dev Team has announced that on 10/10/10 at 10:10:10AM, the latest universal jailbreak for iOS 4.1, greenpoison will be released.

Any user that upgraded from an older iPhone to the iPhone 4 will most certainly notice the improved battery life that the new device offers. You really notice in the end of the day when you look at the battery meter and is surprised that it still breezing with say 20-30% of battery. Not to...

The Rogers network contacted us yesterday about their ambitions to begin the first LTE technical trial in Canada, which will take place in Ottawa. Why Ottawa? That's because Rogers is teaming up with Ericsson Canada at their R&D facilities. We've had some discussion about LTE before. Here's some info from the Rogers Redboard: What is...

There have been countless rumours and reports of a CDMA iPhone coming to Verizon. It looks like that story has just gained some real weight as Yukari Iwatani Kane from the Wall Street Journal reports. She always seems to be the one to have the inside scoop on Apple news. Here are two key points:...

Recently we debated about whether or not Apple would win the current smartphone "war". With real competition finally on the rise, how will Apple respond? What's more interesting is analyzing which companies haven't responded and putting all this data into easy to read flow charts. This is what Horace Dediu has done on his blog,...

Right from the start I was convinced that Air Mobile Mouse would not work, but after using it for a few hours, I can safely say I was wrong. Air Mouse works much like you would expect; boot it up and it takes over your Mac or PC and becomes your mouse. I own an...
