MobileNotifier Beta 3 Adds New Alerts, Lockscreen View, AlertDashboard
Peter Hajas has announced a new beta of MobileNotifier, an open source notifications manager for iOS.
Probably the biggest feature in this release is the addition of new alerts. These alerts - designed by Kyle Adams - are easy on the eyes, animate cleanly, and show the app icon. They're just like they should be - unobtrusive and user-respecting.
AlertDashboard allows you to view your pending alerts, and either remove them or take action on them. It's really smooth and slick, and I think you're going to love it.
MobileNotifier now has a handy lockscreen view, showing you the number of pending notifications in an unobtrusive way.
MobileNotifier Beta 3 Changelog:
New alerts
AlertDashboard
Lockscreen View
Full push notification support
Completely reworked MNAlertManager, considerably more intelligent
Time encoding support with each alert
Numerous usability improvements
Bug fixes relating to 3.x compatibility, alert display and other internal aspects of the utility
and more! The commit log on GitHub is the best place to see all the iterative changes.
FaceBreak Gets Updated With iOS 4.2.1/4.2.6 Support
FaceBreak is a Mobile Substrate extension that allows FaceTime calls over 3G now supports iOS 4.2.1/4.2.6(Verizon) and uses much less memory.
FaceTime is one of the best features of iPhone 4 (even iPhone 3GS if you have the proper hack installed). but one of its main drawbacks is it doesnft allow FaceTime calls over 3G. Thatfs where FaceBreak steps in, it overrides apple FaceTime 3G checks and makes it think itfs actually connected to Wifi. FaceBreak doesnft need any setup or user interaction, it will automatically kick-in when you start a FaceTime call over 3G.
You can download FaceBreak from the Cydia Store for $1.49.

iPhone Dev-Team to Release Unlock That Supports IP4 Basebands Until 04.10.01
The iPhone Dev-Team has announced that they plan to release an unlock for the iPhone 4 that supports basebands until 04.10.01 (4.3b3).
Current i4 unlock goal includes til 04.10.01 (4.3b3). Very weird situation...vuln cmds are there, trying to invoke them!
Interestingly, MuscleNerd notes that they may have found unlocks for the 05.14 and 05.15 3G/3GS basebands while searching for the iPhone 4 unlock.
Ironically, the i4 unlock search has yielded 05.14 & 05.15 unlock 3G/3GS vectors... but i4 is 1st priority
The iPhone Dev-Team has previously stated that the unlock won't be released until after 4.3 is public. Apple could release the new firmware as part of its iPad event on March 2nd.
(March 2nd won't be the public release, it will be the GM ver <--- crossing my fingers)
Apple COO hints at cheaper iPhone, better prepaid plans
In a note to investors on Monday, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi said that Apple is looking to expand its smartphone market share by addressing the cost of its handsets. Apple doesnt want its products to be just for the rich, Apple COO Tim Cook reportedly told Sacconaghi in a meeting, a possible indication that the company is looking to offer a less expensive iPhone option or even work with carriers to offer better rates. Cook is also said to have told the analyst that Apple will be doing clever things in the prepaid market. Cook noted that Apple will continue to focus on the tablet market as well, where it has seen huge success. Sacconaghi believes tablets could soon end up being a $60 billion to $100 billion business for Apple, whose iPad currently owns the majority of the tablet market.

Yeah it was made on July 08 10
From what I'm reading Greenpoisen RC5 + ultrasnow was causing massive batt drainage. :(
Anyone who's using that ver, should restore as a fresh user to wipe everything out and load up RC6 Final or better yet .... find a Custom IPSW made from Pwnagetool. Remember you must place the iPhone in "Pwn DFU Mode" to work.
Don't bother to overlay GP RC6, it will do nothing to solve the batt drainage problem.

2.3.3 kills Google voice for the Nexus One
We're guessing that most of our readers pounced on the official Android 2.3.3 update just as soon as the links lit up last week. But if you did dawdle, don't dally... the latest Gingerbread update is now rolling out over-the-air. Unfortunately, the update also broke Google Voice on our N1 -- something that we fixed by downloading and installing an old GV.apk and then updating to the latest version in Market per the instructions left by our peers struggling with the same issue over at the Google support forum. Hit up the More Coverage link for details

Bell Mobility is now 4G
Following TELUS and their announcement of reclassifying their 3G+ network to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standards Bell has done the same. As they should have because Bell and TELUS shared the cost to build out the network together so it was only a matter of time for them to re-brand their network too.
From the internal doc we received it states that this re-classification allows Bell to promote the HSPA network as 4G and that How fast is 4G? Record setting.
(Thanks tipster!)

Chart: All 4G Services Compared with Verizon LTE
_
By Sascha Segan
_ Tweet _ _ _
_
Verizon Wireless just launched its 4G LTE network in the USA. Here's how it compares to the three other 4G players in the country.
Verizon will launch its "4G" LTE network on December 5 in 38 U.S. cities. Big Red's new network has been highly anticipated, but it's actually the fourth American network to call itself 4G.
The U.S. carriers are using 4G to refer to fast mobile data networks with typical download speeds around 5Mbps about what you'd expect from an average home Internet connection. The four 4G carriers are using three different technologies: Sprint is using WiMAX, T-Mobile uses HSPA+, and Verizon and MetroPCS use LTE.
AT&T is in an odd spot. They're installing HSPA+ right now, but they refuse to say how fast it is (except that it's faster than 14.4Mbps _ ), and they're working towards an LTE network in the future. The company has already released an LTE-compatible USB modem _ ), the AT&T USBConnect Adrenaline, which will work with AT&T's LTE network when it comes on line.
None of these technologies are actually 4G, as defined by the International Telecommunications Union, the official arbiter of such things. According to the ITU, true 4G must deliver blazing speeds of 100Mbps on the move and 1Gbps down - something we won't see for several more years. But everybody else is calling these new networks 4G, so we'll play along.
The 4G networks have different speeds, plans, devices and coverage. T-Mobile has the broadest coverage, but only one device a USB modem that can hit the network's maximum speeds. Sprint has the most devices, including phones, modems, and Wi-Fi hotspots. And MetroPCS isn't doing any modems at all it only has one feature phone on LTE, the Samsung Craft, but it's really inexpensive to use.
Verizon's two modems and 38 cities are only a start. The company plans smartphones and tablets in 2011, as well as potentially new kinds of service plans. For now, though, here's a chart to show how your 4G options currently compare:
What's pathetic is that you can download faster on your average mobile connection now than your average coax landline connection.

Sony Now Demanding to Clone Geohot's Hard Drives
Sony is now demanding that they be able to clone multiple copies of Geohot's hard drives in an ongoing legal battle over the jailbreak of the PS3.
According to psx-scene, the original court order called for the drive(s) to be delivered to a third party "for the purpose of isolating, segregating and/or removing the information on those devices related to Defendant Hotz's circumvention of the TPMs in the PS3 system."
Sony now wants to create two full images of the drives in both decrypted and encrypted form.
Geohot's attorneys say, "SCEA is not entitled to inspect the impounded drives under the impoundment order, nor is it allowed to create and preserve additional copies of the impounded drives, but this is precisely what it seeks to do."
Sony has filed the following requested to get the court's approval.
-----
For the foregoing reasons, SCEA requests that the Court order that Mr. Hotz comply with TIG‟s recommended impoundment protocols and that those protocols be supplemented to ensure that preservation requirements are met as follows:
(1) TIG create and preserve two forensically sound images (e.g., bit stream images) of each impounded storage device in its encrypted form: One to be maintained by TIG in a secure vault for preservation purposes and the second to be used for decryption and/or any other necessary analysis by TIG;
(2) TIG create and preserve two forensically sound images (e.g., bit stream images) of each impounded storage device in its un-encrypted form. One to be maintained by TIG in a secure vault for preservation
purposes and the second to be used for TIG‟s necessary analysis; and
(3) TIG maintain and preserve all of the forensically created images for the duration of the lawsuit.
SCEA further requests that the Court order Mr. Hotz to: (a) provide TIG with the tools and keys necessary to decrypt the impounded storage devices and the keys and passwords necessary to decrypt or unlock any protected files contained on the impounded storage devices;
(b) identify for TIG all virtual machines or hard disks stored or at any time run on the impounded storage devices.3 Furthermore, to verify compliance with the impoundment order, SCEA requests that the Court order Mr. Hotz to provide a declaration setting forth: (i) verification that all storage devices on which any circumvention devices or any information relating to Mr. Hotz‟s circumvention of the technological protection measures in the PS3 System are stored have been delivered to TIG; (ii) why the storage device used by Mr. Hotz in the January 7, 2011 YouTube video entitled Jailbroken PS3 3.55 with Homebrew was not delivered to TIG for impoundment; and (iii) the identity of any remote storage of the circumvention devices or any information relating to Mr. Hotz‟s circumvention of the technological protection measures in the PS3 System.4 Finally, SCEA seeks fees and costs in relation to this motion.

Not for me yet :(
My home is 21mbs down and my phone is only 3mbs down.
I was getting excited for the future and faster mobile speeds in my area so I could cancel my home net and then I realized I still need to seed when I'm not home.
But I am paying more for home internet then mobile internet, if I could cancel one I would be saving a decent change a year...
