Unlock Wars : A new hope for an iPhone 3G unlock soon?
Not so very long ago, in a Galaxy so close that we’re actually in it,
the iPhone 3G and iPhone OS 2.0 weren’t hacked yet. Sure, there were
videos promising the unlock and jailbreak would come soon, but users
are still waiting. And while Geohot’s countdown to release the YiPhone
OS 2.0 unlock came and went with no unlock forthcoming, the world is
still waiting for someone, anyone to deliver a mighty blow to the
Galactic Apple iEmpire with a free unlock tool!

Rumour: PS3 to get in-game video chat
One of the disappointments of the recently [bungled] 2.40 PS3 firmware release was the non inclusion of any type of in-game chat facility. Rumour has it, that the delay is due to Sony going one step further than voice, instead aiming for in-game video chat.

iPhone 1.1.4 firmware solved my 1.1.3 Safari problems
I’d only just updated my iPhone to 1.1.3 and unlocked it using Zibri’s
ZiPhone software when the 1.1.4 firmware seemed to come out of left
field. But now that ZiPhone unlocks iPhone’s 1.1.4 firmware too, it’s
well worth the upgrade, which fixed some annoying 1.1.3 Safari problems I was
experiencing.
