Witstech has fulfilled its promise of a dual-boot tablet, the A81-E, which allows users to run either Android 2.1 or Windows CE 6.0. Running both operating systems allows users to take advantage of Google's range of apps and Microsoft's Office Mobile suite. The device is based on the A81 introduced last year, with both models sharing a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 and a seven-inch 800x480 touchscreen.
Two new apparent unlocking solutions for Apple's iPhone firmware v1.1.2 have surfaced, allowing owners of the cellular handset to sign up for wireless service with carriers other than Apple's exclusive partners. The new techniques, dubbed SonicSIM and StealthSIM, both claim to unlock iPhone v1.1.2 for use with all wireless carriers that use the same technology as Apple's cellphone. SonicSIM is a special card rumored to partially unlock the iPhone by tricking the device and dual booting operating systems, while StealthSIM is a similar card produced by a company hoping to sell the solution for $90 on eBay.
