After iPad was successfully launched making a phenomenal sales record many Top brand express their interest in making their brand iPad. The tech savvy user were asking where the iPad competitors are for a while but now it seems like it’s slowly starting to pick up with LG, Palm, and Google/Verizon hitting the news.
Palm recently acquired by HP is in full steam ahead on a webOS tablet which may be the best OS from other competitors as according to UI standpoint to compete with iOS. The report also says that they will release “a webOS-based product in Early 2011.
Even Verizon who had a great success run with the Android-powered Droid smartphone make looks to be turning towards Google. At the end it might called as DroidPad.
LG, who makes the terrific LED IPS panels for the current iPhone 4 and iPad says they are going to focus on substance creation as a way to compete and that their tablet will “be better than the iPad”. So much confidence they have in their product. Can LG able to break the sales record of Apple iPad? For that we need to wait.
According to source, it states that Google is building a Chrome OS tablet. It seems they are really real into building iPad. No surprise there since HTC churned out the Nexus One for Google. We will not be surprise if Google is collaborating with Verizon in launching the product.
Thanks

Good news for developers and everyone working hard to make contents for iPhone OS. Pirates be upset, as the the latest iPhone firmware 3.1.3 is difficult to unlock or Jailbreak. You can jailbreak firmware 3.1.3 but with some restrictions. Jailbreaker George is not working on a new update, So that’s one pirate less.
We have recently seen Apple offer an update, the first since 3.0 and as always OS updates poses an interesting game of wait and see for those who have jailbroken and or unlocked their important.
Typically, once an update is released, we (those who have jailbroken) hate to wait to update our iPhones until the Dev Team or George Hotz released an update to theirimportant software.
Well, the iPhone OS 3.0.1 update comes with a little bit of good news – those tools are already available.
According to a few recent postings;
From the Dev-Team:
“You can re-use redsn0w v0.8 we released a few weeks ago to jailbreak today’s 3.0.1 update. Just let iTunes update or restore you to official 3.0.1 then run redsn0w. The only “trick” is that when redsn0w asks you to identify the IPSW used, point it at the 3.0 IPSW instead of the 3.0.1 one. After the jailbreak, reinstall ultrasn0w 0.9 if you need the unlock.”
From George Hotz:
“3.0.1 isn’t supported by ra1n, idk why. i recommend redsn0w.”
Basically, it looks like you need to choose the sn0w instead of the ra1n if you are running 3.0.1.
Apple today released iPhone OS 3.0.1, addressing an SMS security vulnerability disclosed at yesterday’s Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. The release of iPhone OS 3.0.1 has been expected since a spokesperson for UK iPhone carrier O2 claimed earlier today that a fix for the issue would be coming from Apple on Saturday.
Apple has also posted a security document describing the issue.
As usual, jailbreakers and unlockers should NOT update as it will remove the jailbreak/unlock.
If you don’t care about this, and you still want to update, you can do it via iTunes, or you can direct download the new iPhone firmware 3.0.1 here :
