iPad 3G jailbroken on video: same as it ever was (on the WiFi model)

Posted in: Apple, apple ipad, AppleIpad, ipad, jailbreak, Today's Chili, video

You may find yourself holding onto an iPad 3G. You may find yourself not able to stream ABC player. You may tell yourself, I think I need to break some rules. You may ask yourself, will I be able to use the same Spirit software that jailbreaks my WiFi model? You may ask yourself, well, did I backup my SHSH blobs? Download still not yet available — time is holding us, time does hold you back. (There is video, at the bottom of the ocean after the break.)

Revolutionary Multi-Touch Computer Screen

Posted in: Today's Chili

This article was written on August 06, 2006 by CyberNet.

A research scientist from NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, named Jeff Han, invented what could be the coolest computer interface I have seen in a long time. In the movie he talks about how kiosks can only accept input at one point on the screen at a time, meaning you can’t touch the screen with two fingers and have it accept both as an input. They are working to remove that restriction and demonstrate what the possibilities would be if we were free from it.

The video is a little long but you will not be able to stop watching it. You’ll see things like a lava lamp that is completely at your disposal and they even show you how easy it will be to shuffle through to view your photos. If you see a photo in the bunch that you want to make bigger you just grab two opposite corners and drag them apart…pretty cool!

So where will this take us in the future? Is this going to be the replacement to the Tablet PC that Microsoft has worked so hard to promote? People have a hard enough time forking out hundreds more for a Tablet PC so this touch-screen probably won’t be much different. Just like Jeff says in the video though: “Google should have one of these in their lobby.”

Intel to launch Core i5 ULV processor in June, MSI X Series to snatch it up

Posted in: CoreI5, intel, msi, Today's Chili
Well, it looks like Intel will finally be delivering that ultra low voltage Core i5 chip this summer. Though it was revealed back at CES, MSI’s saying the Core i5 520UM CPU will be ready by June, and that it’ll be subbing the 1.3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPU and ATI discrete graphics in its X-Slim Series for the more electrically efficient processor. Acer also appears to be doing the same with its Aspire TimelineX 1830T. While MSI didn’t provide us with firm benchmark scores, they did pass on word that the Windows rating score is higher on the i5-powered X360 than the previous version, and the endurance is quite good — they expect 7 to 8 hours with an eight-cell battery. The company hasn’t determined pricing on the X360 but predicts that it will go for around $700 to $900 depending on the config when it hits shelves in the June / July time frame.

iPad 3G denies ABC player, downsamples iTunes store video previews over AT&T

Posted in: Apple, apple ipad, AppleIpad, att, ipad, itunes, netflix, stream, streaming, Today's Chili, video


Well ain’t that a kick in the pants. Reports are coming in from newly-minted iPad 3G videophiles that iTunes store previews and Netflix streams are getting downsampled over AT&T’s network. The folks at iLounge have been tinkering enough to confirm the iTunes issue (we’re still waiting for FedEx to drop off our 3G tablets so we can corroborate ourselves) and, lo and behold, ABC player flat out refuses to work over AT&T’s 3G network, instead displaying an oddly familiar message: “Please connect to a Wi-Fi network to use this application. Cellular networks are not supported at this time.” Perhaps an update will ensue to fix such limits, but in the meantime, we’re sure at least someone at Sling HQ is having an awkward chuckle.

Official Twitter for Android app goes live, will go open source

Posted in: Android, app, breaking news, BreakingNews, Google, Today's Chili, twitter

Twitter had committed to rolling its own client for Android not long ago — and like clockwork, here it is. Looks like the OS integration goes pretty deep, too, with support for Éclair’s Quick Contact bar and tweeting straight from the Gallery app; you’ve also got a timeline widget for your home screen, and you can even see your friends’ latest tweets from your contact list and the Google Talk app. It sounds like Twitter worked pretty closely with Google to make this happen, contributing the code to Android’s trunk for open sourcing in the near future — and developers will even have access to a set of standard Twitter APIs for their own applications. The only downside appears to be that you need Android 2.1 to use it, but that’s just an excuse to run out and upgrade to a sweet new phone, right?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

LG Ally to say ‘aloha’ to Verizon in mid-May?

Posted in: Android, LG, qwerty, QwertySlider, slider, Today's Chili, verizon, video
Well, LG’s Moorestown-based, Moblin-running GW990 may sadly be no more, but it looks like the company will be bringing another fairly impressive-looking handset to US shores: the Android-based LG Ally. According to Android Central, it will be landing on Verizon around the middle of May and, if it looks a tad familiar, it’s because it’s apparently simply a US version of the phone we’ve known alternately as the LU2300 or Aloha (though it does seem to have undergone a few design tweaks). Details are otherwise light, but it’ll presumably pack the same 1GHz Snapdragon processor as the LU2300, along with a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera, and Android 2.1.

[Thanks, Erik]

Update: Android Central has tracked down an Iron Man 2-themed commercial on YouTube clearly suggesting the Ally is coming soon (if you recall, LG had a big tie-in with the original Iron Man, too). Viewers are encouraged to head over to lg.com/ally to check it out, but there’s nothing useful there — yet. Follow the break for the full commercial.

Eye-Fi Pro X2 review

Posted in: review, sd, Today's Chili, wifi

Five years ago, stuffing a fully-functional WiFi radio into the size of a standard SD card would’ve seemed like science fiction — and actually, it kind of still does. Be that as it may, Eye-Fi is now well into its third generation of products, amazingly, and we’ve gotten a chance to check out the company’s newest top-of-the-line model that just recently started shipping, the Pro X2. Like the original Pro model before it, the Pro X2 is differentiated from its less pricey stablemates in two major ways: one, its support for RAW uploads, and two, its ability to connect to ad-hoc networks — in other words, you can wirelessly tether the card straight to your laptop rather than going through an access point. Where the Pro X2 gets the nod, though, is in what Eye-Fi calls the “X2 Engine,” a three-pack of features that includes 802.11n support, Class 6 SD performance, and a nifty feature coined Endless Memory. Let’s have a closer look at what’s changed — and for current Pro owners, whether the X2 warrants an upgrade.
