Admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 04:20:00 +0000

Earlier this evening, we took the plunge — now, we’re rocking Froyo on our old-and-busted T-Mobile G1. That’s because Cyanogen’s team of ROM hackers has come through once again for the little handset that could, serving early adopters with HTC Dream and Magic phones (as well as the Nexus One) with the first fully-functioning, stable build of CyanogenMod 6. Based on Google’s famous frozen yogurt , the release candidate’s got more fabulous tweaks than you can shake a stick at, but sadly doesn’t seem to include Flash 10.1 , and though WiFi and the camera are working great (as well as SurfaceFlinger and Chrome to Phone ) many would-be shoppers in the Android Market are finding themselves faced with the dreaded force close

You’re familiar with geocaching , right? One person hides a “cache” somewhere in the world and hands out the coordinates; the first person to locate it via GPS wins.

How-to: Install Flash on your jailbroken iPad (for real)

Admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 11:18:00 +0000

We just saw Flash 10.1 ported to the iPad demonstrated in video form , and now you can get in on the action too, as long as your iPad is jailbroken. It’s called Frash, and while the plugin is still pretty early and doesn’t do video playback yet, you can definitely play games and other animations right now, and we’re told video support is forthcoming. Okay, so let’s try this out, shall we?

Flash 10.1 ported to iPad, burninates the countryside (video)

Admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 10:20:00 +0000

Take it with a grain of salt, but it’s looking like some prayers have been answered on this Fourth of July — Flash (or is that “Frash”?) is running on this man’s iPad, cleverly ported from Android. The YouTube video claims that by using a compatibility layer, the Android runtime can play Flash content natively in Safari, but only on iPad so far — iPhone 3GS support is planned soon, as is iOS 4, and there’s a call for developers to move the project forward at GitHub . We’ve no way of determining its legitimacy at this moment, but it sure seems like Comex (he of the iPad “Spirit” jailbreak ) has outdone himself this time, and hey, where there’s smoke , there’s fire, right?
