Jailbreaking iPhones Legalized
Jul 26th
Well, for those of you that haven’t hopped on the superior Android bandwagon and have been scared to “jailbreak” your iPhone because of its potential legal issues, fear no more.
Thanks to pushes by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Federal Government has just indicated that exemptions will be made to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to include “Jailbreaking” smartphones well within the consumer’s legal rights.
Update
Consumers still shouldn’t jailbreak their iPhones says Apple (really? that’s shocking Apple…you don’t want consumers to do what you’ve been arguing against in court…*gasp*)
Android 2.2 (Froyo) on the Motorola Droid
Jun 7th
This isn’t really an App but should definitely be mentioned due to the resulting excitement this weekend. P3driod over at MyDroidWorld has managed to get a build of Froyo working on the Motorola Droid and has decided to share it with everyone. It is available as a Clockwork backup or a SPRecovery backup along with overclocked kernels. There are a few kinks but it is a nice preview of what 2.2 will have to offer until the source drops. When I talked to him yesterday, he said there were over 8Million page hits Saturday alone accompanied by over 300,000 downloads. It managed to shut the site down for a short while but it wasn’t long before it was back up. If you have a Motorola Droid and you have joined the root community (or would like to), you may want to check it out to see what all the fuss is about. Rooted users likely won’t see a better Froyo based ROM until the source drops and non-rooted/stock droid owners would have to wait until Verizon rolls out the OTA (months from now). I’ve personally flashed it a couple times and you should not have any problems using ClockworkMod Recovery to go back and forth between Froyo and your current backup.

Droid Screenshots
Feb 19th
I just felt like throwing in some screenshots since I still haven’t had time to do a full review. There will still be a review done at some point (although it is probably pointless now). It’s just been hard to find the time lately. Anyway, root your Android!
Android Phone Discussions and Lenovo Ideapad U1 Hybrid
Jan 25th
I swear, one of these days I will make it out to CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I mean 8000 vendors with new unseen gadgets would be like Heaven on Earth.
Nexus One Review (all the apps he shows are on the Droid) Apparently he’s impressed with the 1ghz Snapdragon cpu in the Nexus One. “I will abandon the iPhone because I think this is in many ways much better than the iPhone”, said Leo Laporte. This will be available on the Verizon network Spring of 2010. Seriously, watch these videos. If you don’t have time now, then check them out when you can.
