Americans will be getting iPads via UPS on Saturday and also in several retail outlets some iPads will be available. Generally iPad is sold out in USA and if you would like to order one now, you would have to wait 2-4 weeks.
But what about Europe?
This is a web-based untethered jailbreak solution for both the iPhone and iPod Touch, and similar to what Geohot is working on, could also serve as an iPad jailbreak as well. The video demo above proves that it addresses the tethering issue, but if you compare it with the Geohot untethered iPhone 3.1.3 jailbreak tool, we’re not quite sure how this new one differs from latter as they’re almost identical with each other.

Since the launch of the iPhone that shook the smartphone world, the mobile device value chain has seen more changes in two years than in the preceding twenty. The mobile device landscape has evolved with such a magnitude that we could not ignore it so we have called upon experts to explain to us how it is reshaping:

PMP Today have come across this little gizmo. A ten-inch touchscreen tops this tablet that runs Google Android and is powered by a 600MHz ARM SoC processor. No word on pricing yet and that homescreen looks like something only fools would believe. We’re not saying this is an official iPad clone just yet, not until they provide us with a video.

We are not here to tell you fairytales about unicorns and butterflies. The reality is: Apple has rejected Opera mini.
By now the only way for bloggers like us to get app for testing was to get promo code for iTunes USA. Recently Apple enabled gifting of apps – so that you or anybody can give you an app as gift… but this can be also used for developers to give us, bloggers, apps for testing also if you we don’t have iTunes USA account!
Interestingly gifting cannot influence ranking of apps:
London, 29th March 2010: In a move to help customers get the most out of their mobile phones, Orange is offering a range of new price plans to make multimedia services such as email, Orange Maps and the mobile internet more accessible and even better value for money from 1st April.
There has been huge growth in mobile internet usage with more and more customers realising the great services that are available on their phone, such as access to social networking sites, with Orange seeing on average nearly 1,900,000 unique users using these per month.
To meet this demand, Orange is introducing re-vitalised packages, with a range of multimedia services now included on Dolphin and Panther tariffs. New and upgrading customers will also be offered the chance to experience a free 30 day trial of one of Orange’s entertaining mobile services.
The changes include:-
Orange and T-Mobile are considering building an entirely new UK network following their merger next month, it has been claimed.
T-Mobile has discussed the feasibility of building a network from scratch with Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei in the UK.
Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, parents of T-Mobile and Orange respectively, are considering purchasing new base stations to cover 900Mhz-26000Mhz bandwidths, enabling GSM, UMTS and LTE coverage.
New base station technology from infrastructure providers Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei use significantly less power than existing sites, and are also much cheaper to build.
T-Mobile was unavailable for comment. Orange said the joint venture will require engagement with infrastructure companies anyway, apparently dismissing the idea of a full re-build.
Admob just put out another of their oh-so-interesting reports, this time around looking at year-over-year mobile internet traffic from three main categories: (1) feature phones, (2) smartphones, and (3) MIDs. Two things really struck me as amazing. First of all, MIDs enjoyed the largest (percentage) growth as a category, probably because of their limited use and emergence as a product category.
It looks like we won’t have to wait long for the Nokia N8 (previously referred to as the Nokia N8-00) to become official as one of Engadget’s trusted sources has revealed that the Finnish company will make its announcement sometime in mid-April. There’s still no confirmation though if the leaked photos of a purported Nokia touchscreen phone that surfaced earlier this week are indeed that of the Nokia N8, but it certainly lines up nicely with this sequence of events. Needless to say, if this latest bit of news is true, then Eldar Murtazin’s prediction of a September release for the Nokia N8 and its new Symbian^3 platform might actually be pretty accurate as well.
