Jailbreak those shiny iPhones with the Pwned tool in a week's time – video tutorial
It’s not getting released for a week due to an unfortunate delay involving obvious legal issues, however the iPhone Dev Team has released a video of the Pwned tool, which shows off their clever hackery.
For those unaccustomed to lurking on seedy sub-culture hacking forums, the Pwned tool allows you to jailbreak your…
World's first in-depth review on the Nokia N96 disappoints greatly
We’re currently hugely jealous of the Russian chaps over at Mobile Review, who have just published the world’s first in-depth review of The Mobile Phone Of The Year (according to me), the N96 from Nokia.
I’m unsure whether Mobile Review has committed the sin many of us do, whereby they build something up, only to knock it down once it’s proved popular or successful, but they’ve written a damning reviewing of the N96, including thoughts on the screen (“the front face is extremely easy to soil with fingerprints and smudge; basically, it gets so dirty in a matter of minutes that a cleaning cloth becomes a must-have for its owners”), the size (“it feels more like some sort of shovel in the hand…

Tech Digest Live: Testing reflective laptop screens on the beach
Seems like a good idea to test laptops on the beach, until you get to the beach. Where it’s cold. And windy. And raining. And suddenly you’re more worried about your camera and laptop breaking than seeing which screen is best for using outdoors.
Still, I soldered on – and you should’ve seen how happy the shopkeeper was when I bought that Cornetto! Definitely the first Cornetto he’s sold in 2008. Made his week.
So there you go. A stunning victory for the Portege R500, with its modern…
Shiny Video Review: ten alternative uses for a MacBook Air
There are thousands of videos about the MacBook Air floating around the googles, so Alex thought she’d try her hand at something different – the top 10 alternative ways to use a MacBook Air.
Apparently they’re good for hiding porn, using as a flower press, and as a tray? Huh. Someone get Jobs on the iPhone, quick-smart!…
Shiny Video Review: Palm Centro smartphone
Most people seem to be decidedly unimpressed with the new smartphone from Palm, which claims to be the smallest and lightest amongst their range.
Take a look above for Zara’s opinion on the phone that offers Microsoft email, internet, Wi-Fi connectivity, 1.3-megapixel camera…
Shiny Video Review: Sony Ericsson C702i and C902i mobile phones
I have something to confess about this video – the C702i and C902i phones shown in the video aren’t actually working units, they’re just plastic models that Sony Ericsson sent us, so we could show you what they’ll look like in 360 degrees.
They’re part of Sony Ericsson’s Cybershot range, both HSDPA-enabled, with 3.2-megapixel and 5.0-megapixel sensors…
Shiny Video Review: LG KF600 mobile phone
It was only a few weeks ago at the Mobile World Congress that we first laid our eyes on the KF600 mobile phone from LG, which sports a unique control system, with a normal screen and smaller touchscreen, the ‘InteractPad’.
What does Susi think of the new mobile phone with also features a 3-megapixel camera, MP3 player, FM radio, video recording and Bluetooth? Watch and learn, my friends….
