iPhodroid for Windows : It’s almost here.

Most of us already know iPhodroid, the Android OS port to the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G by @planetbeing, the guy behind the iPhone 4 unlock.

Planetbeing ported the Android OS to the iPhone 2G and 3G, but in the earlier stages the end users needed to go through plenty of ugly coding in order to get it running on their iPhones. The source code for iPhodroid was released to public for someone to take over the project make required changes in order to make it easier for non-developers. @Sergiomcfly took over and developed an app that dual booted iPhones and made the port easier.

Many of you guys must have tried it, but it was limited to Mac users until earlier today when Sergio Mcfly announced on his twitter saying he was to release the tool for Windows users next week. Sergio said :

iPhodroid for Windows available next week. Have a nice weekend

The wait for Windows users ends here. We will, of course, update you once the Windows version is released.

Update 1 :  The Windows version of iPhodroid was to be released today but wasn’t because of Windows 7 64bit architecture as it is tough get past the running DLL without the certificates. Sergio posted :

Update 2 : We know plenty of you have been waiting for this ever since it was announced. Well then wait no more. The iPhodroid Windows version has finally been released. It’s a one shot install or run.

You can visit iPhodroid to download the Windows version.

Nokia launches DRM-free Comes With Music in China

Posted by jailbreaknews on Apr 10, 2010 in Nokia | 0 comments

Some pretty big news out of China recently as Nokia has announced the launch of its Comes With Musicservice in the world’s second largest consumer market. To be known locally as Yue Sui Xiang and included for free with the purchase of select Nokia handsets (in China’s case, the X6 16GB, X6 32GB, 5230, 5330, 5800w, 6700s, E52 and E72i), the service allows for the downloading of an unlimited amount of à la carte tracks over a period of 12 to 24 months. Even better, all of the music — which includes catalogs from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, EMI Music, Huayi Brothers Media Group, Taihe Rye and more — is DRM-free and allows subscription holders to keep everything they’ve downloaded after their subscription runs out. Hats off to Nokia for giving a pretty censored country a little bit of freedom. Now… When is the this DRM free business coming to the democratic world? We’re pretty tired ofstripping away the DRM ourselves.
