Tasty bits – 33 34 (Thanksgiving edition)

Here’s a “special” Thankgiving double edition of tasty bits for this past month…

1) Let’s start with mod-friendly Asus 701 (Eee) coverage:
– Ars Technica review with some hacking tips
– Notebook Review tweak guide
– Forbes background story
– Uneasy Silence article on running OS X

I tried following this article and running OS X on my Eee but the installation keeps hanging along the way – to be further investigated.

2) The Nokia N82 was announced and released (!) recently (instead of announcing now and releasing 6 months later, for a change):
– Additional info
– Unboxing video
– Multi-part review

The N82 appears similar in features to the N95 albeit in a candybar form factor with a smaller (2.4″) screen and a better (Xenon) flash. Sadly, there’s no HSDPA support for North America.

3) The Nokia N95 is still getting plenty of attention:
– US version review
– Screen auto-rotation application
– Original vs. 8 GB pros and cons
– 8GB vs. Apple iPhone comparison

4) Apple released an iPhone update (1.1.2) and the community soon responded with another jailbreak. Here’s more iPhone coverage:
– Send files directly from iPhone to another (1.1.1)
– Instant Jailbreak for iPhone and iPod touch (1.1.1)
– Stream Music from your iPhone to iTunes with Firefly (1.1.1)
– AFP for iPhone and iPod touch
– iRadio Brings Streaming Radio to iPhone
– iTunes 7.5 and iPhone 1.1.2 return custom ringtones
– T-Mobile to offer Germans unlocked iPhones
