Windows Phone 7 NoDo update rolling out today
It has been reported that the long-awaited Windows Phone 7 NoDo update has started rolling out to WP7 phone users today. NoDo brings copy and paste, faster start and resume time for apps, an improved Windows Marketplace search and of course the usual bug fixes and tweaks. Since Microsoft is using a staggered release for the update, don’t expect to get it right away, be prepared to wait for days or weeks. If you don’t want to wait around for a carrier notification, you can always plug your phone into the Zune desktop client and check for updates from there. If you’re one of the lucky ones to receive the update first, do let us know how it goes for you in the comments below. Hit the break to watch a video about the new WP7 features you’ll get with the update:
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.
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?
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.
