Lots of news about Android and iPhone this week, one of the interesting thing is the latest hack to port Android OS engine into iPhone 3G. Although the hack code is seems like in version 0.1.0 but if you’re an adventurous iPhone user and wanted to do some experiment you’re good to go.

Porting the Android OS almost all its features up and running except for some power management features issues that little bit quirky. Of course doing this tech exercise requires your iPhone is Jailbreaked by either through iPhone dev team’s PwnageTool or Geohot’s blackra1n. If you jailbreak your iPhone using Spirit you’re out of luck because this won’t work. Again, if you’re into some adventure you can go over to PCWorld for detailed instructions on how to install Android on your iPhone 3G.

A Digitimes research analyst came up with an estimates of the future sales of the next iPhone, yes that most talk about version of iPhone. Digitimes analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that its manufacturer—Foxconn will deliver some 24 million units to Apple in 2010.

Foxconn will ship 4.5 million units in the first half and 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 4G on June 7, 2010 during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference.

According to Kou, the next gen iPhone 4G will be running on Arm Cortex A8 engine with 512MB memory, running on iPhone 4.0 OS capable of multi-task processing, better battery life and 33% sexier and thinner than previous iPhones, 960×640 IPS display with FFS technology for a higher quality image. With that, it seems like these specs are out of synch with the recent leaks and teardown..hmm!.

A tethered jailbreak is a term in which if for some reason you need to restart your jailbreaked iPhone you need your iPhone attached to a computer to assist with the booting sequence. Some users of iPhone tethered jailbreak is always worried that their iPhone might run out of battery or suddenly froze and that will require cold boot.. worry no more untethered jailbreak is here.

A new jailbreak tool named “Spirit” is now available which allows you to modify the iPhone OS to enable tethering or run apps not approved by Apple through appstore. The “Spirit” jailbreak works with all three iPhone OS powered iDevices such as iPhone 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, iPod touch 2G/3G, and the new iPad 3.2.

Speaking of iPad, the Spirit author mentioned that for iPad jailbreak is still in beta version which might resulted to some apps can cause problems for the device. I guess this must be something to do with Cydia, which is primarily designed for iPhone and using it for iPad might break some apps.

Also, you need to know that “Spirit” is for jailbreaking only and won’t unlock your iPhones this means you’re stuck with carriers supported by Apple (e.g. AT&T, etc.). You might also need to review the Apple terms that might break warranty or discontinue your mobile phone service by doing this process.

Gizmodo today said they found (or somebody else does) the prototype of the next iPhone (after 3Gs) on a bar somewhere in San Jose CA. They said it’s dead.. none working unit but its exteriors are shiny. Is it real? I don’t know but looking at Gizmodo video it looks real to me.

• measures 4.50″x2.31″x0.37″ – they get rid of the bac curves and replace them with all straight and flat surfaces.


• weight 140 grams little bit heavy compare to its older sister


• with power juice 5.25 WHr at 3.7v


• standard camera with flash this time,


• and now uses Micro-SIM instead of a standard SIM

Now we have at least a preview of how the next iPhone will looks like, we’ll have to wait for 95% of its computing features and what they will call it.. iPhone 3Gsx perhaps?

Okey, now that Nexus One (aka Google phone, Android) is wide open lets compare it with iPhone and how much money we need to own of these gadgets. Although, if money is not an issue then you can purchase the Nexus One unlocked hardware for $529 and get an iPhone through AT&T. Back to money matters, BillShrink already came up with the total cost of ownership comparison and it seems like owning a Nexus One is little bit cheaper the iPhone.

I think this is cool app to create your own app. watch!

Apple will introduced a new iPhone 3G S (Im not sure what S stands for) that will be available this month and dropped the price a current iPhone model to $99 to clear out inventories of old and make ways for new model.
