BlackBerry Messenger Coming To iPhone And Android Posted: 03 Mar 2011 09:59 PM PST BGR has reported that RIM (Research In Motion) will launch its BlackBerry Messenger app and service for Android and iOS such as iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices soon. The source also claims that the RIM's BBM will be launched for iOS devices including iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch too along with one for Android. As far as what Android and iOS users can look forward to, we've been told RIM will offer stripped down versions of the BBM experience BlackBerry owners know and love. That way, Android and iOS users can communicate with practically anyone who has a smartphone using BBM, but they might not be able to share photos, location, or videos (when RIM crosses that bridge). Users who want the full BlackBerry Messenger experience will still need a BlackBerry smartphone to get it. At the same time, RIM could own the entire messaging app category on every major smartphone OS platform and could potentially draw new users in because it has given them a taste of what BlackBerry Messenger is all about. RIM considering to launch the product on Android earlier than iOS as they are all set with it, but still no word by the sources on its release date. However, the company's big eye is definitely on the iOS platform. | ||

But it is available for registered developers only. Developers can get their standard or enterprise version only from Apple Developer website after signing into Apple Developer Account. But the real news is not that iOS 4.3 GM has come out but that the new OS has been already jailbroken using PwnageTool, although the whole procedure is a little more complex and requires some more experience/patience to get it done. Here's what you will need: * PwnageTool 4.2 Modifying PwnageTool Step 1: Download PwnageTool bundle for your version of iOS device. Extract the .zip folder, in there you will find a .bundle file, for this guide, we are using iPhone 4 bundle iPhone3,1_4.3_8F190.bundle. Move this file to your desktop. Step 2: Download PwnageTool 4.2 and copy it to /Applications directory. Right click, and then click on "Show Package Contents". Step 3: Navigate to Contents/Resources/FirmwareBundles/ and paste iPhone3,1_4.3_8F190.bundle file in this location. Creating Custom Ramdisk for iOS 4.3 Custom Firmware Step 4: Download Universal Ramdisk Maker and simply install it as shown in the screenshots below. This is important because Ramdisk in the current version of PwnageTool is broken. This Universal Ramdisk Maker basically patches it correctly for iOS 4.3 firmware. Building iOS 4.3 Custom Firmware Step 5: Download iOS 4.3 GM firmware. Move this file to your desktop. Step 6: Start PwnageTool in "Expert mode" and select your device. Step 7: Browse for iOS 4.3 GM firmware for your device. Step 8: Now select "Build" to start creating custom 4.3 firmware file. Step 9: PwnageTool will now create the custom .ipsw file for your iPhone which will be jailbroken. Step 10: Once you have created the custom firmware, quit PwnageTool. Restore iOS 4.3 Custom Firmware Using iTunes Step 11: Start iTunes, click on your iOS device icon from the sidebar in iTunes. Now press and hold left "alt" (option) button on Mac, or Left "Shift" button if you are on Windows on the keyboard and then click on "Restore" (Not "Update" or "Check for Update") button in the iTunes and then release this button. This will make iTunes prompt you to select the location for your custom firmware 4.3 file. Select the required custom .ipsw file that you created above, and click on "Open". Step 12: Now sit back and enjoy as iTunes does the rest for you. This will involve a series of automated steps. Be patient at this stage and don't do anything silly. Just wait while iTunes installs the new firmware 4.3 on your iOS device. Your iOS device screen at this point will be showing a progress bar indicating installation progress. After the installation is done, your iOS device will be jailbroken on iOS 4.3. Booting in Tethered Mode Step 13: Download tetheredboot.zip utility for Mac OS X and extract the .zip file. Step 14: First, we will need two files from the custom iOS 4.3 GM firmware namely: kernelcache.release.n90 and iBSS.n90ap.RELEASE.dfu. To do this, make a copy of your custom iOS 4.3 GM file that you created above, change the extension of this file from .ipsw to .zip, and then extract this .zip file. Now copy kernelcache.release.n90 file, and then copy iBSS.n90ap.RELEASE.dfu files which are found under /Firmware/dfu/. Move all these files, and tetheredboot utility to a new folder named "tetheredboot" on the desktop. Step 15: Turn off your iOS device, and start Terminal on OS X and run the following commands: sudo -s enter your administrator password, then: /Users/TaimurAsad/Downloads/tetheredboot/tetheredboot You will have to of course replace "TaimurAsad" with the name of the directory on your computer. now press enter. You should now see some code running in the Terminal window, at some point, it will ask you to enter DFU mode. Now follow the following steps to enter DFU mode: * Hold Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds Now wait for your device to boot, Terminal at this point will be showing "Exiting libpois0n" message. After a short while, your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will be booted in a jailbroken tethered mode ! That’s it. | ||

Posted: 03 Mar 2011 01:25 PM PST Zero Motorcycles announces the Zero XU as surprise fifth electric motorcycle model for 2011 and makes in-apartment EV charging a reality.Zero XU's 2 kilowatt-hour battery pack is the same pack found in Zero's popular X and MZ off-road motorcycles and features an integrated charger meaning the battery can be swapped or charged anywhere a socket is available…… Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry announced the Zero XU. A new model for the company, it marks the fifth to be added to the product line. With instant torque from zero rpm, no shifting, a low weight, a low seat height and a removable power pack, the Zero XU is designed to be the ideal electric motorcycle for those who live in the city. It leverages the time tested Zero X off-road platform for durability and features a complete set of specialized street gear that is highlighted by a stylish new body.Bringing Zero Motorcycles‘ product offerings to a new population, the Zero XU is the world’s first street motorcycle that enables owners to essentially charge anywhere by way of a removable power pack and optional stand-alone charger. This opens the doors to interested buyers who do not have access to garage or street-level charging at their homes or apartments. The removable pack also allows for essentially non-stop usage by enabling individuals or fleets to quickly swap power packs. As with all Zero Motorcycles products, the Zero XU is offered with a quick-charge option that cuts the recharge time down by approximately fifty percent to one hour. The additional charger that enables quick-charging can also be used to charge the power pack separately from the motorcycle. Those who own a 2011 Zero X or Zero MX can use their power packs interchangeably with the new Zero XU.The Zero XU starts at $7,995 MSRP. A Federal tax credit can be applied if purchased with a second power pack. Some countries or states may offer other incentives. To secure an order and take advantage of the current Federal incentive while it lasts, the Zero XU can be purchased online now and will begin shipping in the United States during mid-March. It comes with a 2-year limited warranty. Price does not include local shipping, applicable taxes, PDI and road registration fees. “We’re excited to announce our fifth model for 2011. The Zero XU is ideal for those living and working in a city,” said Gene Banman, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. “With no shifting, quiet operation, comfortable ergonomics and optional onboard storage, riders of all experience levels are able to focus on simply enjoying the ride. Add to that the ability to remove the power pack and the Zero XU becomes the ultimate urban crosser.” ScreenShots : | ||
