It's nothing new that the much-loved HTC HD2 can be hacked in order to install either Android or Windows Phone 7, but how about dual-booting?
This year's Pwn2Own contest will play host to a new world of mobile phone hacking when security researcher Ralf-Philip Weinmann shares a new way of hacking a cellular device, writes ReadWriteWeb's Sarah Perez.
Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has managed to run MeeGo OS on Google’s Nexus S phone. He has managed to run it via rootfs image on the internal memory, which means that you don’t have to risk flashing your phone to get it running alongside Android 2.3 Gingerbread. This feat also marks MeeGo as the first non-Android based OS to have been ported successfully on the Nexus S.
Hackers have finally managed to port Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a jailbroken iPhone 3G. It looks a bit sluggish, but that is to be expected, everything else seems to be working fine as can be seen in the video embedded below.
Google has released an official video on their YouTube channel, showing off the upcoming Android 3.0 “Honeycomb” which seems to be designed entirely for Tablets.
It looks like Google has started rolling out first OTA (Over-The-Air) update for Google Nexus S users. The update is officially marked as Android 2.3.1 Build GRH78 and it is just 1.9MB in size.
Why do the likes of Google and Apple think that if they won’t roll out an update officially, it will never come the consumers way? Maybe they have that holier than thou attitude but developers in the more free world have the brains and tools to do so. Without actually waiting for the term official attached.
It was only a matter of time wasn’t it? After managing to unlock the bootloader, some hackers have now managed to get full root access on the Google Nexus S, only a few hours after its public launch.
Sony has just announced that they are bringing official PlayStation apps on both iOS and Android platforms. In a new post on the official PlayStation blog, Sony confirmed that the app will be compatible on iPhones and iPod touches running iOS 4.x and above, and Android handsets running version 1.6 or over.
The latest and the greatest Android phone, the Google Nexus S is finally available now for purchase in US at Best Buy stores. Customers in UK will be able to purchase it starting from December 20th.
