It's not geohots to release. He's always stolen the exploit from somewhere else.
Except now that he's getting actual publicity, more people are paying watch. Won't supprise me if all 'his' releases from now on give credit to someone else too]]>Apr 10th 2010 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/
I haven't seen where a single one of those jailbreak fanatics have even noticed in the last line of his post where it says "SecureROM for s5l8930xsi, Copyright 2009, Apple Inc."

S5L8930 is probably the model number of the Samsung SoC (System On a Chip) inside the A4. It’s not terribly surprising that it’s a Samsung chip; it’s known that they fab the A4 and they’ve worked with Intrinsity, an ARM processor customization company (which Apple holds shares in), recently to work on the Samsung S5PC110 “Hummingbird” processor as well as the MID/tablet-ready (and veritable shoe-in for the iPad) S5PV210. It’s likely that the S5PV210 was modified to suit Apple’s needs and branded S5L8930.

I reported on this yesterday on ABT: http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=16906

Yeah, yeah, I know, Jailbreak is a big deal for the iPad. But nobody else seems terribly concerned to have revealed what's actually powering the device!]]>Apr 10th 2010 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Apr 10th 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Apr 10th 2010 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Apr 10th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Apr 10th 2010 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/

This means that the OS will slow down tasks on a much more fine grained level than the other operating systems.

Get real will you. How does one make multi-tasking non-boring? It should be something you just don't have to think about? It should not be a whole lot of bother at all.

You are obviously an ex Wintel, Winmo, now droid fan, which is a sign of a true geek. When your HP slate or droid tablet catches up with iPad sales, and when Palm Pre handsets and Doid handsets catches up with iPhone, then you have a point about Apple's failures. Until then, you should post you comments against Pre, Droid, Slate articles.

Get a life. Be real. Start living. ]]>Apr 10th 2010 4:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/
I think it looks pretty nice. I sort of expected Apple to do an expose style switcher, which would be nicer IMO - but I still can't wait for it!]]>Apr 10th 2010 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Really? WebOS has one of the best Multi-Tasking UI's.. don't waste time arguing it. I do admit, current WebOS powered-handsets are lacking in hardware.. but so is my iPhone 3GS.

It sounds like you got sold. Jobs did a good job.... Numbers mean nothing. By your logic, my macbook/mac os is an APPLE FAILURE due to it's lack of sales in comparison with others. As much I enjoy some of Apple's products, I hope fanboys like you will stop ;) because they are NOT perfect/best.

as for expose, I bet that is what they are doing for iPad, which is why the release is delayed till fall. with the added horsepower/screen real estate, there will definitely be a few more extras when compared to iPhone. ]]>Apr 10th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/
Android is what people buy because an iPhone isn't available on their network. iPhone outsell Android phones by a big margin on ALL networks anywhere where both platforms are available.

In terms of browser data usage, first different data providers have different results, most have the gap as being larger, second, the data provider in this case -admob, has an interest in
making Google look better, just as whoever Jobs used for the OS 4 launch was used to make Apple look better.

In terms of company value, since the release of the Nexus One and high profile Android phones, the gap between Apple and Google has grown wider. What this means is that Apple has done a better job of turning their IP into company value than Google. So Apple's management needs credit there.

The other thing that is often not brought up, but compared to the iPhone the Nexus One has extremely poor battery life. A colleague of mine has one, in fact he even got an exchange thinking the first one was defective. I bet if the Nexus One was more popular it would have been an issue. It's a nice phone and the OS is also excellent (very iphonish) and some of the Google apps are very nicely done... but battery does not last through the office day without charging which my iPhone does easily.]]>Apr 10th 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/10/ipad-jailbreak-thanks-geohot/Apr 10th 2010 8:39AM
