Verizon 4G LTE SIM cards start hitting the stores
Now before you say anything- yes, the Verizon 4G LTE network hasn’t been launched yet, but that doesn’t stores can’t get ready for it. After today’s announcement of the LTE network arriving this December, there have been reports of the 4G SIM card arriving in stores now. The picture you see is one of the first LTE SIM cards in the world, and it’s on its way to a retail store. In case you were wondering about Verizon using SIM cards, normally Verizon doesn’t use them, but for LTE they will be. With the cards already on the way to stores, and the LTE service arriving in December, it’s going to be just a matter of time before Verizon announces the phones that will use their services- and that is the news that everybody is waiting for. What kind of phones would you like to see using Verizon’s 4G LTE?
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.
