Sony Ericsson Will Update the XPERIA X10 to Android 2.3!

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 to Android 2.3 – Owners of the SONY Ericsson XPERIA X10 were distraught, but certainly not surprised when SE announced that the X10 would live out its remaining days running on Android 2.1. SONY Ericsson has struggled in rolling out Android updates from the very beginning, so most simply assumed that they would either need to hack the X10 or purchase a new device in order to gain access to the latest Android updates.

But it looks like there may actually be a glimmer of hope at the end of this dark tunnel. A post of on the SONY Ericsson blog has just revealed that SE has had a change of heart and will be bringing Gingerbread (Android 2.3) to the XPERIA X10 after all. The update will be available in late Q2 or early Q3 for most XPERIA X10 handsets which have no carrier branding or customizations.
Android 2.3.3 on the XPERIA X10 will feature a few generic Gingerbread features and some of the enhancements from SONNY Ericsson’s 2011 XPERIA handsets. Since the update is still in development, not many details have been released.
While this is certainly some incredible news for XPERIA X10 owners, the comments on the SE Product Blog are mostly negative. As it turns out, owners of the X10 Mini/MiniPro and X8 are not happy to hear that their handsets will not be getting the same update to Gingerbread. We certainly understand their frustration, but we’d like to point out that the X10 is a far superior product when compared to the other XPERIA handsets from 2010.

White iPhone 4 Gallery

And here’s the white iPhone 4 gallery, also 10 months in the making. We’ve got it side-by-side with the black iPhone 4, focusing on whatever little details and differences we could find. There looks to be an almost translucent edging around every seem. The proximity sensor is white-free, and while my black iPhone 4 (bought back in July) shows no sign of it, my white iPhone 4 has bright, visible light coming out of the 3.5mm headphone jack. Check it all out in full on gallery glory after the break!






















White iPhone 4 Is Thicker Than The Black Model

As we told users yesterday that the white iPhone have fixed the Proximity Sensor and Antenna Issuestoday
a guy over MacRumors have found anther difference between the white iPhone 4 thickness an the black one  So the white one is slightly thicker than the black one confirmed the same, stating:


Just picked up the white iPhone 4 and realized it doesn't fit into my Incase slider case. It appears that Apple has increased the size of the plastic that borders the glass on both sides by about 1mm.

Although the size difference isn’t significant, it could be just enough so that the handset won’t work with all of the cases on the market. This, of course, could become a major issue.

Apple going to release iOS 4.3.3 in the upcoming weeks

People who are going to update on iOS 4.3.2 should wait because iOS 4.3.3 is in it’s way and now guess what !! You guys will think what’s the reason behind the update and that is the big issue which was the Location Tracking Issue which has been discussed by Steve Jobs this week and Apple decided to handle some bugs plus kicking out the Location Tracking Issue. The update will be having
  • Reduces the size of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database cached on the iPhone,
  • Ceases backing up this cache
  • Deletes this cache entirely when Location Services is turned off.
According to Apple, they are not going to stop the Location tracking but will be reduce to 7 days per year (Kinda Weird  )
iOS 4.3.3
Okay, guys we are really sorry as we couldn’t inform you about the Press Meeting of Apple, So here you go
1. Why is Apple tracking the location of my iPhone?
Apple is not tracking the location of your iPhone. Apple has never done so and has no plans to ever do so.
2. Then why is everyone so concerned about this?
Providing mobile users with fast and accurate location information while preserving their security and privacy has raised some very complex technical issues which are hard to communicate in a soundbite. Users are confused, partly because the creators of this new technology (including Apple) have not provided enough education about these issues to date.
3. Why is my iPhone logging my location?
The iPhone is not logging your location. Rather, it’s maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers around your current location, some of which may be located more than one hundred miles away from your iPhone, to help your iPhone rapidly and accurately calculate its location when requested. Calculating a phone’s location using just GPS satellite data can take up to several minutes. iPhone can reduce this time to just a few seconds by using Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data to quickly find GPS satellites, and even triangulate its location using just Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data when GPS is not available (such as indoors or in basements). These calculations are performed live on the iPhone using a crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data that is generated by tens of millions of iPhones sending the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers in an anonymous and encrypted form to Apple.
4. Is this crowd-sourced database stored on the iPhone?
The entire crowd-sourced database is too big to store on an iPhone, so we download an appropriate subset (cache) onto each iPhone. This cache is protected but not encrypted, and is backed up in iTunes whenever you back up your iPhone. The backup is encrypted or not, depending on the user settings in iTunes. The location data that researchers are seeing on the iPhone is not the past or present location of the iPhone, but rather the locations of Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers surrounding the iPhone’s location, which can be more than one hundred miles away from the iPhone. We plan to cease backing up this cache in a software update coming soon (see Software Update section below).
5. Can Apple locate me based on my geo-tagged Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?
No. This data is sent to Apple in an anonymous and encrypted form. Apple cannot identify the source of this data.
6. People have identified up to a year’s worth of location data being stored on the iPhone. Why does my iPhone need so much data in order to assist it in finding my location today?
This data is not the iPhone’s location data—it is a subset (cache) of the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower database which is downloaded from Apple into the iPhone to assist the iPhone in rapidly and accurately calculating location. The reason the iPhone stores so much data is a bug we uncovered and plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below). We don’t think the iPhone needs to store more than seven days of this data.
7. When I turn off Location Services, why does my iPhone sometimes continue updating its Wi-Fi and cell tower data from Apple’s crowd-sourced database?
It shouldn’t. This is a bug, which we plan to fix shortly (see Software Update section below).
8. What other location data is Apple collecting from the iPhone besides crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower data?
Apple is now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.
9. Does Apple currently provide any data collected from iPhones to third parties?
We provide anonymous crash logs from users that have opted in to third-party developers to help them debug their apps. Our iAds advertising system can use location as a factor in targeting ads. Location is not shared with any third party or ad unless the user explicitly approves giving the current location to the current ad (for example, to request the ad locate the Target store nearest them).
10. Does Apple believe that personal information security and privacy are important?
Yes, we strongly do. For example, iPhone was the first to ask users to give their permission for each and every app that wanted to use location. Apple will continue to be one of the leaders in strengthening personal information security and privacy.

Why you Should Jailbreak your iPhone [Video]

What is the maen by jailbreaking ? jailbreak is a process that allows devices running Apple's iOS (also known as iPhone OS prior to iOS 4.0, iOS 4.2.1, iOS 4.3, iOS 4.3.1, iOS 4.3.2, ) operating system (such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and recently Apple TV) to gain full access to unlock all features of the said operating system, thereby removing limitations imposed by Apple. Once jailbroken, iOS users are able to download additional applications, extensions and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store, via installers such as Cydia, one of a number of current means for older iPhones. A jailbroken iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS can still use the App Store and iTunes and other normal functions, such as making telephone calls. Jailbreaking is similar to rooting an Android device.
there is many tools to jailbreak your iPhone 4 running iOS 4.1, iOS 4.2.1, iOS 4.3, iOS 4.3.1, iOS 4.3.2, We will talk about jailbreak tools that running iOS 4.3.2 as it is the latest firmware There are now several ways to jailbreak your iPhone running iOS 4.3.2. Redsn0w 0.9.6rc14 For both Windows and Mac OS X, PwnageTool 4.3.2 for mac users that we recommended for the unlockers, and Sn0wBreeze 2.6 for Windows users only. 4.3.2 hasn’t been out for that long, but i0n1c’s untethered exploit has already been implemented into three of the most popular jailbreak tools. So we have to thank Dev Team, i0n1c, and iH8Sn0w pushing out untethered jailbreaks for iOS 4.3.2 so quickly.

Jay Freeman, founder of Cydia, tells Scobleizer why you should jailbreak your iPhone.
