Windows Phone 7 Jailbroken. That was fast…

It seems like 1 month is just too much for the techies.

few weeks after the release date, approximately 3,000 apps, rumors of slow sales, and… jailbreaking tool. Naturally.

According to David K from MobilityDigest:

"ChevronWP7 has been released by some of the gurus who have been tinkering with the APIs. It’s as simple as connecting your phone via usb and launching an .exe file. This lets you install apps that do not comply with Marketplace standards. So yes, porn can come in but more importantly that means devs can use all APIs out there including the sensors and native code that they don’t have access to. This also means custom theme colors, ringtones, hardware button assignment, tethering/wifi sharing are all within reach."

Wonderful.

The install steps can be found at http://www.chevronwp7.com/ and we can all expect a central site to host XAPs that third parties can share and download freely. Let’s also see how long MS let’s this stand before patching it.

I prefer to see their efforts to improve / add to WP7 rather than trying to get Android on a combined WP7. Anyone who buys a handset for Android now WP7 was just one Android handset.

Traveling back from MWC15, I went over my smartwatch notes and noticed many of the Android players demonstrated smartwatches which were not running Android Wear. In an attempt to better understand the smartwatch market I’ve collected the names (and details) of the different operating systems used by today’s (and tomorrow’s) smartwatches. I’m happy to share with your the definitely incomplete list of wearable operating systems! Smartwatch Operating System – A Fragmented WorldAndroid WearProbably the OS with the fastest progress, Android Wear was recently reported to account for just 15% of smartwatch sales in 2014 (total of 700,000 devices). That’s not much, mainly because the platform was only introduced in the middle of the year and still suffers from serious limitations and battery life challenges. Android Wear OS is designed to be paired with Android smartphones (version 4.3 and on), but there are already rumors that an iOS app will be available soon. Android Wear is available most…

What's the meaning of "i" in iPhone, iPad?

Recently I've been thinking about the "I" meaning in all of Apple's products: iPod, iPad, iPhone… what's the "i" for? Internet? Nowadays it's not that cool any longer, isn't it? Internet is a given. Is it "i" like "me"? I looked for an answer and found it in an interesting article that included the following:"It was early 1997 and Steven P. Jobs had just recently returned to Apple as Interim Chief Executive Officer (At first he was just there to help and publicly stated that he did not want the full-time job at the time). Apple was about 6 months from full insolvency and company morale was at an all time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for Apple’s slow demise. Steve Jobs spent his first few months cutting irrelevant products. He felt that there were two very important products to focus on: The Mac Product Line and The PowerB…
