When FaceTime was introduced back in 2010, it was rightfully considered to be, at least back then, an “empty” feature. There were two reasons for this, it only worked over WiFi and only between two iPhone 4’s. Since then, FaceTime has been brought to other Apple products and it now works on the iPad 2, iPod touch 4G as well as OS X and, because of this, it has actually become a pretty useful service for folks who stick to Apple for their computing needs. Its first limitation - that of being WiFi-only - was removed thanks to a jailbreak tweak called FaceBreak which enabled FaceTime over 3G. This tweak has now been updated to support jailbroken iOS devices on iOS 5 and iOS 5.0.1. Details after the jump!

Today is, as all regular shoppers will know, Black Friday. It’s a one-day shopping event that takes place after Thanksgiving when retailers drastically lower prices of popular products and customers go nuts over said products. Retailers end the day with record-breaking amounts of revenue and shoppers go home with a smaller hole in their pocket, all giddy inside, ready to unwrap their shiny new items (or maybe save them for Christmas). Since we’re a technology blog, we’ve been covering deals and discounts on Black Friday from Microsoft and Apple and, in this post, we’ll be talking about some of the deals on Android smartphones.
