Geohot Has No Exploit to Unlock iPhone 4 On Baseband 03.10.01 or 2.10.04

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 11:28 PM PST

There were rumors that Geohot has got an exploit to unlock iPhone 4 running on iOS 4.2.1 baseband 03.10.01 (and also on baseband 02.10.04). But the real fact is that he has no exploit to unlock iPhone 4 on baseband 03.10.01 or 2.10.04. George hotz confirmed on his blog to all his fans that Apple has closed the BB holes and he is using his iPhone 3GS instead.

From his blog:

I wish I had an iPhone unlock, the simple BB holes appear closed (my fuzzer comes up blank). In fact, I'm still using my 3GS cause I don't have one :-/

However it doesn't mean he can't unlock the device. In fact he is already busy in fighting with Sony. Last month he was sued by Sony for jailbreaking PS3 devices. But that is not stopping him from finding some more security holes in the Sony product line. He has recently revealed his intention that he will be the first person to root/jailbreak Sony Ericsson Experia Play.

On the other hand, iPhone Dev Team is also working on iPhone 4 unlock and they have already made it clear that iPhone 4 unlock on baseband 03.10.01 and baseband 2.10.04 will be released after iOS 4.3 is out.

Rumour: Apple To Launch White iPhone 5 This Summer

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 11:05 PM PST

Apple still hasn't managed to ship the elusive white iPhone 4. But there is huge rumors going around with regards to the launch date of the iPhone 5 which is estimated to be this summer. The leak this time comes from sources who spoke to the Economic Daily News who have hinted that Wintek has been asked to supply touch panels for a white iPhone 5 to Apple. This contract is also said to be an exclusive for Wintek.

According to Economic Daily News, there will be a white iPhone 5 too! It will feature a touch panel supplied exclusively by Wintek, which is a Chinese electronic components company.

The iPhone 5 is expected to have a 4 inch display, no "Home" button, NFC integration "with a twist", a built-in FM radio, an integrated SIM and a front-facing camera, complete with PhotoBooth.

Of course, we have yet to see the white iPhone 4 appear, so Apple may decide to just drop that and focus on the next generation model.

Apple Mac Book Pro With Sandy Bridge Intel Coming Soon

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:48 PM PST

According to reports around the Web, Apple’s MacBook Pro lineup is due for an update very soon. In fact, as little as a week remains between Apple refreshing its MacBook Pro laptop offering to the latest Intel Sandy Bridge CPUs and debut Light Peak among other interesting features.

The new MacBook Pros, according to some observers, will feature Intel’s new dual-core Sandy Bridge mobile chips and might contain a solid-state drive used only for a quick-start OS. They may also have a new data port called Light Peak, with a blazing 10-gigabits-per-second transfer rate. This would be the fastest transfer rate from a Mac to another Mac, or a Mac to a storage Relevant Products/Services device.

Light Peak technology has been promoted by Intel and Apple as a replacement for FireWire 800, USB 3.0, and other connection technologies. It utilizes daisy-chaining, allowing one device to be connected to another, and it’s expected to be available in a fiber-optic version as well as a copper one.

The version expected to be announced soon by Apple will be copper, but the optical version is the real powerhouse. Optical is expected to offer 100 gigabits per second in addition to carrying an electrical connection for powering peripherals.

Robert X. Cringely, an independent observer of the computer scene, is predicting that Light Peak technology, coupled with automatic load distribution in Mac OS X from Grand Central Dispatch and multi-processing control from Mac OS X‘s Xgrid, could mean a radical new approach to data servers — especially if Apple also releases Light Peak on Mac Minis.

Other uncomfirmed reports suggest the new Apple MacBook Pro laptops will feature SSD-only versions, like the MacBook Air ultraportables. BGR goes one step further to suggest there’ll be an OS-only SSD in the new MacBook Pros for faster load times with other data stored on a regular hard drive. The MacBook Pros will also sport larger glass-top touchpads or trackpads, especially with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion promising increased gesture support.

Report: Apple iPad 2 Unveiling Scheduled for March 2

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:31 PM PST

According to an All Things D report, Apple could be gearing up to unveil the next-generation iPad March 2 at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. If that holds true, then media invitations should be imminent.

To those who care intensely about this kind of stuff–which would be pretty much everyone in the tech ecosystem–Apple will hold its much-anticipated event on March 2, where the tech giant seems poised to unveil a new version of its hugely successful iPad, according to multiple sources.

According to several sources close to the situation, the Wednesday date in a little more than a week is firm and will take place in San Francisco, the scene of many such Apple events.

In that case, the venue is likely to be the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

Previous rumors had pegged a March unveiling date for the tablet. In a Feb. 9 posting, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber circulated a theory in which Apple whipped the curtain away from the iPad 2 sometime in March, ahead of an early-April shipping window, and then followed that up with an iPad 3 in September.

Current iPad theories suggest the device will be lighter and smaller than the original, with a front-facing camera for video conferencing, more memory and a boosted graphics processor. Some reports have suggested the device will lack a Retina Display or similar high-resolution screen. “Our sources say Apple has requested that manufacturers begin work on displays with that resolution for the iPad 3,” IDC research manager Tom Mainelli told PC World, following a DigiTimes report that the next iPad would boast a resolution of 2,048 by 1,536.

Through the end of last quarter, Apple has sold more than 15 million iPads. Apple's new tablet, however, will face ferocious competition for the consumer market from Motorola, Dell, and Samsung, among others. Since the iPad's introduction last March, however, Apple has basically had the market for consumer-focused tablets to itself.

While a new iPad won't be a surprise, however, Apple Chief Steve Jobs could make news merely by stepping on stage. Jobs, who had cancer surgery in 2004 and a liver transplant in 2009, was spotted by paparazzi earlier this month visiting the Stanford Cancer Center, near Jobs Palo Alto home, looking gaunt and unsteady.

Windows 7 SP1 Public Download Now Available

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 10:02 PM PST

Microsoft has begun offering Windows 7 Service Pack 1 via Windows Update and Windows 7 SP1 has just been sent out to OEMs and that it will also be available to the public.Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 helps keep your PCs and servers on the latest support level and also provides ongoing improvements to the Windows Operating System……..

Microsoft officially handed off the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) build of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1.For Windows Server 2008 R2, SP1 adds two new features that directly affect Microsoft’s desktop virtualization platform: Microsoft Dynamic Memory and Microsoft RemoteFX. The former gives on-the-fly control of a virtual machine’s memory while the latter provides a virtualized 3D graphical experience for remote users. For Windows 7, SP1 includes only minor updates: mostly hotfixes already delivered through Windows Update. SP1 will feature an updated Remote Desktop client that takes advantage of RemoteFX introduced Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

The public release follows a private release to MSDN and TechNet customers last week. Copies of Microsoft's Windows 7 SP1 RTM update leaked last month to file sharing websites ahead of its release. Microsoft has confirmed 7601.17514.101119-1850 is the final RTM. The software giant has also pushed the bits out to Windows Update.Work on Windows 7 SP2 has already begun as early as fall 2010. Microsoft is reportedly planning 132 updates for x86 Windows 7 SP2 and 171 updates for x64 Windows 7 SP2 at the time of writing. Microsoft hasn't officially started talking about SP2 but expect it to land in the 2012 timeframe.he idea behind RemoteFX is to allow for a full remote experiences including multiple displays, Aero and multimedia streaming to all types of client devices including low cost thin clients. RemoteFX achieves this by using a technique known as host-based rendering. This technique allows for the final screen image to be rendered locally on the remote PC after being compressed and sent down to that remote host. The enhancements are expected to greatly improve video streaming across remote sessions which is currently one of the major drawbacks of virtualized computing.

As of today, over 20% of Internet-connected PCs worldwide are running Windows 7 according to Net Applications. It was an incredibly successful year for Windows 7 in 2010. Microsoft's success with Windows 7 began before the product was even widely available. Released in October 2009, the operating system has received praise from consumers, businesses and the media. In November 2009, Windows 7 managed to surpass Apple Snow Leopard market share in just two weeks. In early February 2010 it was revealed that Windows 7 had reached 10% market share in just three months.Windows 7 has also driven an uptake of 64-bit computing. According to ChangeBASE research, conducted with senior IT decision makers, more than 65% of businesses hoped to migrate to Windows 7 within 12 months of its release. Over 50% of those migrating will be choosing the 64-bit route. Microsoft confirmed in July that nearly half of all Windows 7 PCs run 64-bit versions. Forrester Research revealed in November that 1 in 10 PCs within North America and European companies are powered by Windows 7.

Sega Wappy Dog With Nintendo DS

Posted: 22 Feb 2011 08:27 AM PST

There is a new happy toe tapping robotic puppy in town and it's Wappy Dog. Wappy Dog is the latest innovation from Sega Toys and along with Activision will be releasing a new robotic dog along with a video game for the Nintendo DS. Wappy Dog dogbot with Nintendo DS game will be showed at Toy Fair 2011……

The goal is to raise your dog from puppy to adult pooch, evolving its personality, skills and level of happiness as you play; it’s reminiscent of the popular Nintendogs DS game only with a real-world component. Kids can play with Wappy in Home Mode in which they interact with the toy dog playing games and training it through a Nintendo DS or in Outing Mode which lets them play with their pet only on the Nintendo DS.Each time a player interacts with the toy dog via the game any virtual play syncs up with the toy so Wappy has one consistent personality across both platforms.

Behold Sega i-Dog younger brother Wappy Dog! Introduced in the US during the last Toy Fair 2011, Wappy Dog is born from the collaboration between Activision and Sega Toy in order to bring a little Robotic Toy capable to interact with a proprietary NDS Game.Schedule to be released later this year Wappy Dog can interacts with both the video game and alone.Alone you will be able to pet or talk to your little new friend and Wappy Dog will respond to each gestures by making noise or even glowing different colored lights on its cheeks or eyes.Once your NDS turned on and playing Wappy Dog's dedicated game each little sound emitted during your playtime will be understood by Wappy and will trigger an action.

The cute little robotic toy dog expresses itself through movements and sounds: It’ll cheer if it wins a game and whine if it loses, for example. It can also sing and dance, and kids will be able to teach it new tricks. Virtual activities include playing with toys and mini-games, grooming and feeding the puppy and customizing its appearance and environment.Wappy is going to be a welcome addition to your home, adults and kids are going to love interacting with it and making this a long lasting digital relationship and will be debuting in the Fall and pricing is currently TBD.
