3 hours to Froyo

The beast is about to get its hands dirty with a 'somewhat official' Froyo announcement up at samsung-firmware.webs.com. No one expected it to come so early and we were barely getting used to our Eclair tweaks. This build seems to be a test build and its called JP1, but we'll take it anyways. ... Tock goes my clock (no pun intended)

The beast now walks with me

Samsung Galaxy S This mighty beast is the latest addition to my Smartphone Library. Well, its been a couple of weeks actually, which also explains why there's been no new ROMs coming for the HTC Diamond (which I still have - actually my wife does now). A day into the purchase and I rooted this beastly android wonder and also put up a custom ROM on it and managed to pull the charts down with ...

Windows Phone 7 Series – Why so serious?

And so it's finally here. Call it late, call it timely, call it your mother-in-law, it's here. Well, not quite here yet, but we figure it's going to be out soon enough. What we do know for one is that MS wasn't shitting our faces with mock primers all this while. And indeed there's been some thought (serious or otherwise) into this new coming ... Needless to say, they've come up with a humdin...

iPad – Naming Disaster #2 for Apple

With over 2 million jokes flooding tweets, forums, blogs, technology & news sites, the iPad has become the worlds hottest funny name ever. A "kink" in the armor of Mr. Right, Steve Jobs, needless to say, they've gone with a disaster of a name twice over now. The first time around with iPhone 3GS (someone really put the stopper on your branding thinktank) and now with iPad, they've hit the skie...

Dual Boot Android & WinMo on Diamond/Touch Pro (VGA)

We've had this coming for a while now and have thrown out our devices like a village bicycle to makes the best of what XDA developers give us. The latest bit of scoop (a little late into its arrival @ Surffin today) is that Android and WinMo will co-exist on the same device. And whats more, there will be a boot-up option to select the OS of choice. Of course, not all features are function...

PS3 Hacked!! Sony to cross-sell Toothbrushes

After 3 years the PS3 has finally been hacked!!! I'd say it's finally music to the ears of most avid gamers, well at least the cheap ones, who hate sucking their wallets up for each game. Is it ready for game backups? Well not as yet, at least not entirely so, as our friendly neighborhood hacker 'geohot' (aka George Hotz) has figured the entire system inside out and is working his way up (so...

My next purchase – Nexus One OR HD2?

There are so many vigor filled claimants in the Smartphone market today, each claimimg superiority over the other in their top five or six self made basic feature sets that a Smartphone of this day and age should apparently spoil its users with. The question here is - Has anyone asked the user what they really want? But yes, one would argue that there are numerous usability design and experienc...

Pop & Whoosh!

This block commences the start of a new series of geek-o-garb sessions ...... With no serious intention to keep you informed, entertained and pepped up as we walk on, I start this day. The M&M on the side doesn't really mean anything. Don't bother trying to figure that out. During the course of my typical day, I'm mostly clueless about my doings. While the rest of my real world time goes...
