We here at Redmond Pie love a good Infographic. While it's true that a good 2,000 word blog post can be an interesting read, there's not doubt that every once in a while we like to just sit back, relax, and admire a few hundred or thousand pixels-worth of graphical information.

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.
After years of iPhone users whining about the complete lack of any kind of multitasking in iOS, Apple finally gave us all what we wanted when iOS 4 launched mid-way through 2010. But while Apple’s implementation works well, it’s not strictly multitasking – apps are held in a ‘frozen state’ and resumed when needed. A host of APIs and a tinge of jailbreaking fills in the missing gaps.
When Apple senior vice president of iPhone Software, Scott Forstall, took to the stage at WWDC in San Francisco to announce iOS 5, one of the much-anticipated features to finally see the light of day was the ability to perform iOS updates without connecting the iDevice to a computer.
It seems everyone and their grandmother has gotten a hold of iOS 5 betas this time around, and with such popularity comes the usual questions: Can it be jailbroken, and can it be unlocked?
The first question we always get asked as soon as there is a new release of iOS, beta or otherwise, is whether or not it can be jailbroken. With iOS 5's second beta landing in our laps just a few short hours ago the inevitable question popped up, and we're pleased to report that yes, iOS 5 beta 2 can indeed be jailbroken.
Apple's just-released iOS 5 beta 2 enables the much vaunted WiFi Sync feature we've all been waiting for, and is available to iOS developers now.
Facebook's sprint to 1 billion users is well and truly underway, with the latest number of monthly active accounts being pegged at a massive 750 million by a 'source close to the company'.
It's been a bad few months for all involved with Nokia. A new head-honcho in Stephen Elop, a deal with Microsoft to use Windows Phone 7 that threatened to split the company in two and a lack of any kind of roadmap for the future have all caused many pundits to write off the once proud Finish mobile phone manufacturer. But things might, just might be on the up for Nokia.
Hulu has finally begun rolling its Hulu Plus service out to Android smartphones, but according to a blog post on the company's web site, you may still not be able to use it if you have the wrong handset.
The success of the iPhone speaks for itself, spending just a mere five months on Verizon Wireless, it has already stolen the top most position among other handsets on the same network, according to a report from BTIG Research with AT&T sales telling a very similar story.
