In addition to having trouble catching up to Samsung in China, Microsoft's Windows Phone platform has now managed to outsell the iPhone in the 1.33 billion people market, if a high-ranked Microsoft executive in charge of the Greater China region is to be believed.
According to his data, Windows Phone market share in China now sits at seven percent, a percentage point ahead of the six percent market share enjoyed by the iPhone.

As you know, Research and Motion, Motorola and Nokia are pushing for their own variant. Both RIM and Motorola just submitted a Nano SIM compromise which borrows about 80 percent design solutions from Apple...
Great news for those of you who own 3rd generation iPods and/or the iPhone 3GS — both devices have gained support for pod2g's upcoming untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1.
The reason these devices were initially excluded was because the kernel vulnerability used to accomplish the jailbreak on other devices didn't appear to work on the iPod 3G and the iPhone 3GS.
Although the hacker hasn't provided more details on how he was eventually able to verify that the jailbreak will be possible, he says he will update us with more details later.

Well the most popular theory for how Apple will go about making a 4-inch iPhone is to give it a resolution of 640x1158, and an aspect ratio of 9:5. So Overdrive Design decided to show us what that would do to current apps...
