It looks like the JailbreakMe website has officially returned. The site comes back as version 3.0 and brings the easy to do jailbreak that some may remember from the early days of the iPhone. That said, JailbreakMe 3.0 will work for just about all iOS devices and is as simple as loading up Mobile Safari, surfing on over to jailbreakme.com and pushing a few virtual buttons. In short, this will jailbreak your iOS device, which gives you access to Cydia and the whole world of unapproved-by-Apple-goodies that comes along with it. Nonetheless, while this is pretty safe and simple to… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »

The rumor regarding Skype and Facebook has become reality. Today, Facebook announced three main things that will be rolling out in the weeks to come. Along with Facebook video chat powered by Skype, Facebook will also redesign the chat interface and enable group chats.

The chat redesign is unique in that its size will change depending on the size of your web browser’s window. It also shows the friends you message most first… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »
 
Those using Google Voice on the iPhone who have been itching for landscape support may want to fire up the App Store and download the latest update as it has added just that—“landscape view support.” That aside, the Google Voice iOS app is now at version 1.2.0.1285 and remains available as a free download. Otherwise, the app requires iOS 3.0 or later and will run on the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

Sprint is rumored to launch the iPhone by Christmas, especially considering it will be the last major American carrier featuring unlimited data. iPhone users are notorious for consuming large amounts of data and AT&T already went with tiered data and Verizon Wireless is expected to announce their own tiered plans starting tomorrow. An analyst from Citadel Securities, Shing Yin, predicts Sprint to launch the iPhone before the pivotal 2011 Holiday season. Assuming Apple delivers the new iPhone model to AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and Sprint, Shing Yin believes Sprint “could capture more than its fair share of iPhone sales.” Sprint could… Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for . | Comment on this Article »

Facebook had their big announcement today and their “something awesome” arrived as many had expected—they announced Skype powered video chat. And while many in the tech world will make the comparison to Hangouts on Google+, I would go as far as saying that many who are not in the tech world will be a bit more excited about having Skype on Facebook for the simple reason that those users are already on Facebook and are already signed up. In other words, there is nothing left to do but make a call. That being said, the video calling is going to… Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for . | Comment on this Article »

Jumping the ship from Facebook to Google+ has just gotten easier. There is a new site called Move2Picasa that makes moving photos from Facebook to Picasa a painless experience. All you have to do is sign in to the website using your Facebook credentials and wait while every photo you have is transferred. At this time, there is no way to filter which photos will be taken from Facebook. Move2Picasa takes every photo you have, so it could take awhile if you have a ton of photos. You may be wondering why this is so interesting. Well, photos that are… Full Story » | Written by Jeremy Hill for . | Comment on this Article »
