Clearwire takes a dig at Verizon’s 4G network
Despite Verizon only announcing their 4G network a few hours ago, rival 4G provider, Clearwire has already responded to their services with a comparison chart which basically points out that they are the better 4G option. In the chart, Clearwire compares their monthly fees, speeds and additional benefits against Verizon. The results show that Clearwire is cheaper, offers unlimited data, and supports a larger infrastructure when compared against Verizon. The only thing Verizon seems to outdo Clearwire in is download speeds. But since Verizon’s 4G LTE network isn’t even active yet, I think they deserve to have the benefit of the doubt- at least until their network is up- before being judged. What do you think? Let’s see what Verizon has to comeback at Clearwire. Hit the break to see the complete chart:

iOS 5 Jailbroken Already?
The title says it all, and that was pretty quick. It was only yesterday when the iOS 5 was announced and the beta was made available to developers but yet wasting little to no time, hackers MuscleNerd and Co have managed to jailbreak iOS 5 on the iPod touch fourth generation. The exploit they used was the limera1n jailbreak which means that iOS 5 presented the hackers with little surprises when it came to closing the loop holes that would make the limera1n exploit work.
Naturally the iOS 5 is currently in beta which means there are probably still plenty of holes to be exploited and we can only assume that in the final release iOS 5 would-be hackers will have a harder time trying to jailbreak it. However this is good news for those on jailbroken devices who were worried that they might be in for a rather long wait when it comes to getting the jailbroken version if iOS 5 on their devices.

iOS 5: No More PC, OTA Updates
Anyone who has owned an iOS device knows that upon out of the box, the first thing they see is their device asking them to tether it to their computer in order to set up synch with iTunes. Not necessarily a bad thing but what if the person’s computer was not well equipped enough to run iTunes properly or what if they didn’t know what all these synching meant?

iOS 5: Tabbed Browsing And Safari Updates
Tabbed browsing isn’t new. In fact there are browser apps already available for iOS that features tabbed browsing, but either way we are happy that Apple has decided to sit up and take notice of what users want in their browsers and finally implemented tabbed browsing in their native iOS browser app, Safari.
