We already know that GreenPois0n kernel based untethered exploit has been closed by Apple, starting from iOS 4.3 Beta 3. Now unless and until someone like Comex or Pod2g comes up with yet another untethered exploit, the iPhone Dev Team has already started working on porting Redsn0w’s Monte jailbreak for iOS 4.3.

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.
With Verizon iPhones starting to arrive with lucky customers already, the question on all our lips was simple: is the CDMA version of Apple's smartphone jailbreakable on iOS 4.2.6 using existing software? Well, it appears it is!
I've said before now that we are firmly into 'silly season'. With both iPhone and iPad updates expected to be announced in the coming months, this is the time we start to get all those juicy rumors about specifications, prices and possible release dates. Today we have some more, thanks to Macotakara (via MacRumors).
With Chronic Dev Team releasing GreenPois0n RC5 yesterday much was made of the inclusion of the option to add a custom animated boot logo. That's all well and dandy, other than the fact it doesn't entirely work.
With Nokia's recent issues with poor sales and dodgy software, it's perhaps unsurprising that rumors are once again abound that the mobile phone behemoth is batting its eyelashes at a 3rd party operating system with the hopes of improving its ailing fortunes. This time it's Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.
Yesterday Verizon made the iPhone 4 available for pre-order to its existing customers only, and managed to break the carrier's own sales records in just two hours. Perhaps most interestingly, those orders came in between the hours of 03:00 and 05:00. That's the morning folks!
Hey, prototypes have to be tested somewhere, right? According to a Reuters eyewitness, the next generation iPad was spied at today's News Corp announcement of The Daily.
During Google's big Honeycomb announcement today, the company also debuted its online App Store called, unimaginatively, the Android Market Web Store. Yes it's the Android Market in handy dandy web form, but there's more magic involved under the hood.
With Mobile World Congress taking place in a couple of weeks, it is expected we'll be treated to a raft of new phone announcements, and Samsung are getting ready to announce the new Galaxy S 2.
Reuters reports that for the first time in over ten years, Nokia's Symbian is no longer the world's number one smartphone platform. The new king? Google's Android.
