Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
If the rumors were not frantic enough before Apple announced the impending iPhone event, then they're really going to take off the closer we get to October 4th. The latest rumor to start doing the rounds comes after Japanese blog Macotakara reported that a China Unicom executive apparently confirmed that the next generation iPhone, labeled the iPhone 5, will support HSPA+.
If you've ever dabbled with the world of jailbreaking, or even if you're a jailbreak aficionado like so many of our readers, the chances are that at some point you've struggled to find what you're looking for in Cydia.
