LG mobile phone with DVB-T

LG mobile phone with DVB-T
The LG HB620T is a Triband GSM/GPRS and 2100MHz HSDPA7.2 mobile phone with DVB-T TV reception and microSD slot. Very impressive technology! If LG could finally get rid of their proprietary connector and would put a standard USB and a 3,5mm audio connector on this device, this would be nearly perfect.

jailbreak for iPhone 2.0

jailbreak for iPhone 2.0
The long awaited Pwnage2 is available for MacOSX. It lets you jailbreak your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPhone 3G. SIMunlock for the original iPhone is included, but not yet for iPhone 3G. Currently you need a special SIMcard a la TurboSIM..., to circumvent the SIMlock to use an iPhone 3G with a not supported provider. Attention: all the software, that was available for the original jailbroken iPhones, currently does not run on iPhone 2.0! So no offline Wikipedia, SIPclient... right now.
