android-symbian Android fanboys geeks will rejoice! Symbian fans (I know you aren't one) will go into hiding and Apple fanboys will continue to pretend it's nothing worthy to brag about. But why? According to Reuters, Google's Android has just dethroned Nokia's Symbian as the most popular smartphone platform in the last quarter of 2010! Reuters are quoting the research firm, Canalys, for the report, but it should not come as a surprise that Android has overtaken Symbian, which has been going down consistently over the past 3 years or so. Even the newest version of Symbian failed to raise the eyeballs of the users as well as the critics. Android on the other hand, has consistently surged in the smartphone market, with its open-source approach and hit models from HTC, Samsung, Motorola and LG. Symbian has been on top of the ladder for the last 10 years, and had managed to hold on to that position despite the threats from Apple's iOS and RIM's BlackBerry OS. But Android's superior technology coupled with innovative marketing from Google and top class hardware from HTC/Samsung, proved too hot for Symbian to handle. In case you are more interested in...
paypal-india Paypal, the biggest e-commerce business for payments and money transfers on the internet has been making buzz in India for all the wrong reasons. And it just got worse than ever before. Here is a transcript of the mail we just got now With effect from 1 March 2011, you are required to comply with the requirements set out in the notification of the Reserve Bank of India governing the processing and settlement of export-related receipts facilitated by online payment gateways (“RBI Guidelines”).

Google seems to be very busy as far as Android 3.0 is concerned, and this version is developed, designed and devoted to a larger extent for Tablets alone. Just two days ago, Google launched the Android 3.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) named ‘Honeycomb’ for developers. We already know a bit or more about the latest version of Android like – "Android 3.0 has software-based navigation instead of physical buttons, tabbed web browsing, big-screen Google apps and developer tools for creating modular, panel based apps that work on tablets or phones". But a more startling fact can be seen in some of the teaser videos released by Google and Motorola’s Xoom announcement at CES, which focus on the functioning of Android 3.0’s multitasking. What these videos say is what I will quote and here goes - "As users launch applications to handle various tasks, they can use the Recent Apps list in the System Bar to see the tasks underway and quickly jump from one application context to another. To help users rapidly identify the task associated with each app, the list shows a snapshot of its actual state when the user...

The iOS jailbreaking scene is dominated with bunch of rumors and pointless beta releases. We had deliberately kept them out of Technically Personal. Now, we have something concrete and useful coming up. The iPhone dev team have confirmed the release of Redsn0w 0.9.7 for Windows sometime soon which will let users jailbreak iOS 4.2.1, and that too untethered!
Since Apple still serves the 4.1 IPSW (not blobs!), we’ll do a Windows redsn0w release for untethered 4.2.1 via Monte-4.1

resn0w-097

Sometime back, the iPhone Dev team had released Untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak for Mac OS X via Jailbreak Monte technique, but it was using iOS 4.2 Beta 2 hashes & iOS 4.2 Beta 2 firmware which are available to developers only. Now, with the latest developments, Windows version will be free from such requirements as it will be based on iOS 4.1 jailbreak Monte. [via]

Steelers have won the Super Bowl 6 times before, while the Packers have won it 3 times. According to some experts, Packers are the favorite to win Super Bowl 2011, but then the game as such will be won by a team that plays better on that day. When the 2 teams met way back in Dec 2009, the Steelers defeated the Packers 37–36 at Heinz Field. Fox Sports is scheduled to...
