Another video of a Windows Phone 7 (Mango) Nokia device leaks – shows a brief overview of a N9 like phone

No doubt that Mobile-World is eager to see the first delivery of Nokia-Microsoft romance and this is the reason why we are getting “in-utero” ultrasound images of premature (or perhaps full-term) device almost on a daily basis. In this series this video surfaced yesterday showing a factory overview of a WP7 mango Nokia smart phone in a short duration. Phone shown in the video looks almost identical to Nokia N9 but with a difference of a dedicated camera shutter button. The person in video gets the device out of a stealth-case as if he was instructed to hide it. Phone is shown to boot up into Windows Phone 7 pretty quickly (also switch off saying goodbye with the same speed). Interestingly two textual messages (“OEM” and “Not For Resale”) appear at the phone screen during the video.

The question is whether this is the Elop’s super-confidential “Sea Ray” phone or just a test device.

iOS 4.3.4 jailbroken within 12 hours after release with PwnageTool on all iDevices except iPad 2

It looks like Apple is bitten even before it ripens and is picked from the tree. At least this is the story of every Apple iOS update. Folks at Redmond Pie have posted a how to tutorial (just 10 hours after the iOS 4.3.4 rollout) describing the Jailbreaking of latest iOS update (4.3.4) in iPhone, iPad 1 and iPod (but not iPad2 still). This jailbreak is a tethered one using PwnageTool 4.3.3 bundle. After the jailbreak is complete all the Cydia stuff get back to life for you. So if you had updated your device to the latest version of iOS (without thinking of the consequences) and to your horror Cydia was gone then you may try this jailbreak to calm down your stomach butterflies.

Unless you are a super-geek, it is not recommended however to use this process before a stable and more functional (untethered) workaround become available (and you won’t have to wait for long as usual). So stay tuned for the update.
