HP Releases 3.04 For Touchpad

HP has release webOS 3.04 for the touchpad. This update includes several new features including a camera app. If you installed Cyanogenmod on your touchpad, after updating :

• Connect your TouchPad to a PC and tap the icon to enter USB Drive mode.
• Create a directory on the TouchPad called “cminstall” (without quotes).
• Copy the moboot_0.3.3.zip file to the cminstall directory.
• Exit USB drive mode.
• Restart your TouchPad from the Device Info app in the Settings panel.
• Hold the Volume Up button as your device reboots.
• Once you see a big USB icon on the TouchPad, you’re ready for the next step.
• Open a terminal and navigate to the folder on your computer where you’ve already installed Palm Novacom (and make sure the ACMEInstaller file is in the same directory).
• Type the following (without quotes) and hit enter: “novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller”

To get the Cyanogenmod dual boot option back.

Droid RAZR and ICS event

First off, the Ice Cream Sandwich event, which is being held at Hong Kong, will start at 7 PM today. It can be seen live here: http://www.youtube.com/android

Also today, Motorola unveiled the Droid RAZR, which has a 1.2 GHZ dual core chip, is ultra slim, LTE, possibly, GSM, and has a better screen resolution. Sadly, it has a locked bootloader, probably due to Verizon.


Update: Just saw ICS and the new Nexus. Both are great! ICS just blew me away. I think it is amazing and finally has all the features that have been missing on Android.

iOS 5 Finally Released

The wait is over! Apple finally released the final OS 5 version today for end-users. iOS 5 has several new features including a new notification system. (More info here: http://www.apple.com/ios/).

iOS 5 is compatible with the iPhone 3Gs and iPod 3rd generation and above.

As for jailbreak, yes there is a jailbreak available. The bad new is its tethered for now (which means you need to plug your iDevice in your PC each time you want to boot it up, which can be a pain). The untethered jailbreak will probably be released soon. So jailbreakers may want to hold off on upgrading for now.
