George Hotz, an American hacker has released a new jailbreak program. According to Hotz, it can jailbreak iPhone 3GS’s in 30 seconds! The site, Blackra1n essentially rewires the iPhone as the jailbreaking uses non-Apple coding to jailbreak it. 12 hours after Hotz put the link on Twitter, over 260,000 downloads had already used the application. Note: Jailbreaking iPhone’s will void your warrenty, and installing updates of the iPhone OS may “Brick” your device and render your iPhone useless……BE WARNED!!!

O2 Student Broadband DealsPosted by: Andy Eircell in Mobile Broadband, O2, tags: Mobile Broadband, O2
With all this talk of doom and gloom, the re-intorduction of college fees and general disaster all over the country, O2 have come up with a new deal to help the hard pressed students. From today, Telefónica O2 and HEAnet have introduced an deal for students, that by signing into 12 month contract, they get a much reduced rate for their mobile broadband. The normal price for O2 mobile broadband is €19.99, but with this offer, students can avail of their broadband at the special price of €9.99. There is a limit of 10GB data allowance, which is more than enough for day long Facebooking activities! There is also another deal which is a rolling contract, giving students more options if they wish to cancel the contract and not encour any termination fees. This offers costs a little more, at €12.99 and download limit of up to 5GB data allowance. For both offers, the actual modem will cost €19.99. This is a clever move by O2. Mobile broadband is ideal for students living away from home. By giving them this rate, O2 are obviously hoping to try and get these as potential longterm customers. But for students, are they would are about is updating their Facebook accounts and saving that €10 for other expenses!
O2 appear to be going around college to offer this deal to student directly, with a list of colleges and dates available on campus.ie. You will need to bring

The LG KS360, which is commonly know as the LG Etna has been on the market for a few months now and is proving to be a big success for O2. When it was first launched, stock of this affordable touchscreen phone sold out within days, leaving many O2 and Carphone Warehouses stores without any to sell to the mases. While stock levels have improved and sales for O2 continue to be good for O2, Meteor has gotten in on the act. O2 even found that large numbers of their handsets were getting unlocked to be used on other networks; such as Meteor. This will obviously be a good sign for Meteor.
O2 have launched a TV service for their customers. While this will only work for a small number of the handsets they range, it is a very attractive feature. It allows you to keep in the know with RTE or Sky News but also entertained with The Cartoon Network or Sky Sports! It is broken down into two options, each option has different channels for you to chose from.

The Carphone Warehouse are ranging a new colour varient of the hugely popular Samsung Tocco F480. This basically is the very same phone as the pink and black version, however it is red in colour.
It is carried by O2, and priced reasonably at €199. While it is red in colour, there is a flowery design around the phone. It really adds to the overall aesthetic of the phone and compliments the red colouring. Specs
