Incredible front!

In a total smartphone fail to keep new handsets under wrap, Mobile blog Pocketnow have leaked snaps of HTC's new candybar smartphone, the 'incredible'. So with such a modest title, what's this baby boasting?

We're talking Snapdragon CPU, 256mb of RAM, a 3.6-inch* WVGA touchscreen (possibly AMOLED) and a 5MP camera all crammed into a delicious bright orange exterior. The incredible runs Android 2.1 w/ Sense UI, an undoubtedly saucy combination, giving this smartphone beauty to balance the brawn.

Google Produces Series Of Short Films Showing Making Of The Nexus One

Friday, 05 February 2010. Posted in News, Consumer Electronics, Smartphones, Google

In an artistic marketing twist, the team behind Google's second smartphone have put together a series of online webisodes, documenting the story behind creating the Nexus One. Google's key message behind the four-minute first episode: 'Concept and Design', seems to be this idea of perfectly marrying hardware to software, which ironically automatically springs the iPhone to mind.

Still, this Nexus One promo remains a nice touch. Hosted entirely on YouTube, installment one and two of five are live now, although Ep.2 'Display & 3D framework' seems to be having some streaming problems.

iPhone Dev Team's RedSn0w 0.9

The self proclaimed 'iPhone Dev Team' are well and truly back in the game with the release of RedSn0w 0.9 Beta for OSX and Windows. The latest version allows nearly all generations of Apple iPhone/iPod Touch to Jailbreak, Unlock and customize the most recent 3.0/3.1.2 firmware.

The 'nearly' is due to the 'Beta', which is currently unable to support third generation iPod Touches, a niggle that is said to be fixed with the full RedSn0w release.
