Hacker springs latest iPhone OS from Jobsian jail

@Sexual Harassment Panda

Are you running 32bit or 64bit? Im running 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate and was unable to jailbreak a 3G with latest iTunes and firmware. blackra1n also bombs straight away when you go into Windows XP VM mode and wont work on Windows Server 2008

Microsoft eyes mobile app store

@ Tom

Instead of talking shit try actually GETTING a Samsung Omnia - to get into apps you DONT need to go to Start, Programs etc - there is a main menu system that is just like the iPhone - you use your finger to swipe and move around just like the iPhone. Also the Omnia H1 software makes ALL Windows apps touch sensitive like the iPhone so no need for a stylus/scroll bars - how do I know? Cos I have bought one!

Oh and by the way - the "crappy pictures" on the Omnia are as good as a digital camera and you get just as much choice for changing settings - if you have a Samsung digital camera then the menu system is almost identical.

The MS appstore wont generate as much revenue for one simple reason - you own the phone and you can do what you want with the phone with a WinMo phone - basically you arent tol dwhat an dhow to think.

@ A.C. "Too late for me...."

What is the 3 month rule that you mention in you post A.C.?

Vista SP1 on track for mid-March release?

@ dervheid

The "Vista SP1" CD you saw in the mag is actually PC Pro magazine - when you look closely at it you dont actually get the CD/DVD - what you get is a postcard that you fill in your details and mail to MS - when SP1 is released publicly to all, within a few weeks you should then recieve it on disk - no charge for any of it :)
