Apple releases iOS 4.3.4 update, gets jailbroken instantly - GSMArena.com news

16 July, 2011

Apple released the iOS 4.3.4 update yesterday for all the supported devices. This update claims to solve the PDF exploit in iOS. However, as is usual with iOS updates, it also breaks your jailbreak should you choose to upgrade.


However, even though it has been just a day since Apple released the update and it seems there is already a jailbreak available for it. Thanks to PwnageTool, you will be able to perform a tethered jailbreak on your iPhone, iPod touch and the first generation iPad (no iPad 2 support for now). You can find the full tutorial on performing the jailbreak in the second source link below.

The first WP7 handset running Mango set to land in August - www.thenextweb.com

 

One day after it was revealed that Mango would be released no later than September, Microsoft appears set to allow phones running the updated version of its mobile OS to be sold in August.
According to several reports, the waterproof Fujitsu IS12T will be the first Windows Phone 7 Mango handset to go on sale. We covered the handset in a different context before, showing off as many images of it as were available.
If the reports hold true, Mango will be arriving in the market earlier than was anticipated. The update itself represents a large step forward for Windows Phone, a platform that has not managed to ignite the excitement that Microsoft had hoped.
Mango was variously known to be coming before the holiday season, but the specific month was never released. If you are not familiar with Mango, you can read our hands-on review of the software here.
With Mango will come the second wave of Windows Phone hardware, something that is crucial. While the actual Windows Phone software has generally been well received, the phones that were shipped with it were noted as boring, and the reviews were not off the mark. Also, as Mango is the prerequisite for Nokia to release its Windows Phone devices, the formal release of Mango into the market marks the start of the real second generation of WP7 devices.
Finally, as the software will come out a good chunk of time before the holiday rush, any kinks in the software should be ironed out by the time the end of the year rush begins.

Nokia to splash £80m on Windows Phone marketing push - www.techradar.com

Last throw of the dice?

Windows Phone-running Nokias will arrive later this year

Nokia is staking a whopping £80m to promote its forthcoming range of Windows Phone handsets, according to reports.

Marketing Magazine reckons the ailing Finnish giant is gearing up for a six-month advertising blitz in a bid to put the company and the Microsoft OS back in the big time.

With profits and market share down, forecasts suggesting it may struggle to break even this year and the loss of 7,000 jobs, the re-branding effort could be seen as a last throw of the dice for Nokia.

Calculated

The marketing campaign is set to commence in October, just before the yet-to-be-announced, first Windows Phone-running Nokia handset arrives.

Despite a seemingly obviously calculated leak, on the official side of things Nokia is playing it cool.

"We are excited about the Nokia with Windows phone, but it's not our policy to comment on specific campaigns for unannounced products," read a statement that accompanied the report.

Critical

The Windows Phone and Nokia partnership is absolutely critical to the continuing existence of both entities.

Nokia needs a strong software partner after years of persisting with Symbian sent the company into the smartphone abyss, while Microsoft needs a high-profile hardware manufacturer that isn't also offering Android phones.

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer admitted that the Windows Phone platform has endured an unsuccessful first year, going from "very small to very small" since its launch.
