Geo Hot Explains The Argument Between Himself and Chronic

Geo Hot

If you hadn’t heard yet, Geo Hot became a little disturbed when chronic posted the exploit he is going to use to to make a new jailbreak program that will jailbreak them all on their wiki. He even threatened to stop making his program but in the end Chronic and George both explained their opinions and what was going on and below is what he had to say about it.

” Minor setback today, when Chronic revealed the exploit that this will use. For apparently no purpose except to save face in front of their donators. Future reference, never donate until you have a product in hand and working. Look, as much as I fight with the dev team, they always have the community’s interests at heart, maybe even more so than me. But chronic just stomped all over what the community wants. Who can actually do something with the info they released? Well, you know, Apple. ”

Verizon Turns To Android To Compete With Apple’s iPhone

October 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Verizon has teamed with Google to bring two Android-powered phones and the Google Voice service to its network, in an effort to fight off the iPhone and its exclusive agreement with AT&T.

Together, the two companies plan to create, market and distribute both products and services featuring Android-powered phones on the Verizon Wireless network. The two companies plan to co-develop handsets that will come with “innovative applications” created by both, as well as third-party developers already seen on the Android Marketplace. Read more…

A Little Jailbreak Drama

October 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

The posting of the usb_control_msg(0×21, 2) Exploit by Chronic Dev to the iPhoneWiki caused a little bit of upset today with GeoHot threatening to stop work on the exploit.

“OMG CHRONIC, WHY DID YOU POST THE EXPLOIT? SHIT LIKE THAT MAKES ME NOT WANT TO WORK ANYMORE”

“i discovered that exploit first, and that was really a low blow to try and take credit. have fun with greenpois0n, i am not releasing”

Chronic Dev has since posted the full story on his blog to explain things.

We wanted to make this perfect and bug-free, so it was taking awhile. Soon, people started commenting and emailing me complaints about it taking so long. I can handle this. Then, I start getting ppl threatening to file a dispute with PayPal to get a refund. Read more…

AT&T To Allow Skype and Google Voice iPhone

October 07, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

AT&T may be close to making an announcement that it will support Skype and Google Voice on all its handsets, reports the Washington Post.

One source close to the thinking of AT&T executives said the company has been deliberating the decision for weeks and that top executives have said they were close to accepting voice over Internet services on all AT&T phones, including the iPhone. The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because a decision hadn’t been officially announced. Skype currently operates on the iPhone through WiFi access, but not on AT&T’s 3G mobile network.

Verizon Attacks AT&T, Apple in New Ad

October 06, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Verizon has launched an offensive against AT&T and Apple in their latest video ad.

The ad mocks the iPhone “There’s an app for that” ads with a slogan of their own, “There’s a map for that”.

“If you want to know why your 3G coverage works so well on Verizon Wireless? There’s a map for that.

Or why you can watch video at 3G speeds almost everywhere? There’s a map for that.

And if you wanna know why some people have spotty 3G coverage? There’s a map for that too.

Yep, with 5x more 3G coverage then the nation’s number two company, There’s lots of reasons to switch to Verizon wireless.”

MacDailyNews notes that, what Verizon offers is a 3G network that’s larger, but slower; V-Cast videos (yuck); and crappy app-less phones that don’t measure up to iPhone, so users barely use them to tax Verizon’s network. It’s easy to boast about network quality, when you have nothing stressing your network. We’d rather live through AT&T’s growing pains, enjoy their largely hands-off approach (especially vs. the dictatorial device-limiting Verizon), and be able to keep our iPhones, thanks.
