With iOS 4.2.1, Apple introduced the brilliant AirPrint. Unfortunately, you need to spend money on a few specific printer models if you want to enjoy AirPrint. Not anymore, thanks to a very simple hack that lets you use AirPrint on any printer, including printers that are not even wifi capabale.
If you’re on a Mac, you can use the hack called AirPrint Hacktivator, which like its name suggests, will enable printing via AirPrint in a matter of seconds… Read More
Like to tweak your device’s Android build to pull some more functionality out of it? Do you describe yourself as an avid rooter? Well, if that’s the case then you’ll be interested to hear of the latest development that has arose from the Android hacking community.
The particular ROM that this announcement settles on is CyanogenMod CM6.1 RC5. Currently available only for the Motorola Droid, this updated version brings with it lockscreen gestures. This means you will actually be able to draw gestures at your device’s lockscreen (a la the above image) and assign them various actions. This may include, but is not limited to, launching your most used applications, Android’s web browser and more.
As I said, it’s currently available only for the Motorola Droid with a release on other devices currently up in the air. However, as always, we’ll keep you posted as the story unfolds.

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is a greatly hyped Android 2.2 powered tablet that many have said will be the main competitor to the iPad. However, others have said the two can not properly be compared as the Galaxy Tab features a much smaller form factor than the iPad meaning they could, in theory, have different uses.
Whatever the case may be, the Galaxy Tab has its own respective niche apart from the iPad as it features a front facing camera and, of course, Google’s Android mobile operating system. However, where as the iPad is solely a tablet, the Galaxy Tab is much more similar to a traditional smartphone – overseas, anyways.
The reason I say this is because the international version of the Galaxy Tab is actually capable of making phone calls whereas the American version is not. Luckily, the skilled folk over at XDA developers have managed to hack the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab and make it capable of making phone calls. Unfortunately, those behind the hack say that it’s for “experience flashers only” so only those who know what they are doing need apply.

A lot of talk in the mobile world surrounds a smartphone’s operating system. As you know, two of the most talked about mobile operating systems of this day and age are Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. While the software powering these mobile devices is crucial none of it would ever hit the end consumer had it not been for the hardware.
Luckily, as mobile platforms like iOS and Android increase so does the hardware by which this software is powered. Now a days, it has almost become uncommon to see a high end smartphone with anything less that a 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM. However, one device fit this criteria and that is the T-Mobile G2.
When first launched many criticized the T-Mobile G2 for having a processor clocked at 800MHz – 200 MHz less than other Android powered smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S and HTC EVO 4G. However, what was made known today will effectively put that criticism to rest.
It seems that our friends over at the XDA-Developers forums have actually managed to overclock the T-Mobile G2′s 800MHz processor to an extremely fast 1.9GHz. Of course, this is far from official so if you’re deciding to do this proceed at your own risk as it could spell disaster for your phone.
However if you’re feeling brave, head here for the instructions.

I love the Pandora iPhone app. For the last few months, it’s the only way I’ve been listening to music. I love it yet there are a couple things that bug me with this app: the ads, and the fact that you can’t skip as many songs as you want.
This is a problem of the past thanks to this new jailbreak app called Pandora Skip Hack. Not only it will remove the skip limits but it will also remove the ads… Read More
