[Update] Yeah, ignore this post – it’s BS. The cat-and-mouse game continues. With every firmware that Apple releases for the iPhone, the iPhone development/hacking community has successfully jailbroken the iPhone filesystem to accept unofficial third-party iPhone applications. And, with every jailbreak, Apple patches the particular exploit with a subsequent iPhone firmware.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 powered by super-secret version of Windows Mobile
That would explain why the Sony Ericsson reps were so guarded about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. All we wanted to do was touch the darn thing, but that would have probably ended in getting a stern reprimand from the ever watchful eyes of the Sony Ericsson booth overlords.Remember that quick video we posted on…

Microsoft paid $500 million for Danger?
Yahoo’s not the only target of Microsoft’s cash-pile. The company we all love to hate has allegedly put up $500 million to acquire Sidekick-maker Danger. Gigaom’s “fairly solid sources” are pegging Microsoft’s most recent purchase at a hefty half-billion greenbacks. Why so much?

According to Reuters, ARM will be debuting their Android prototype at the biggest mobile conference in the world – Mobile World Congress. Of course, Google and ARM declined to comment.
