According to the method of unlock which is published in the XDA-Developers Forum, it is very easy to jailbreak, hackers can obtain root authority within one minute.

Hackers use PTerminal software to connect the IP address of the G1, and then get a root authority.

Unlock G1 is easier than Apple's iPhone. The hackers have spent several weeks to hijack the iPhone security measures.

Unlock G1 also has great significance because it allows users to use G1 cell phone beyond T-Mobile expect. As a result of this method to unlock allows users obtain the authority of system control, perhaps G1 will soon be able to run the Symbian, Linux or other smart phone operating system.
 
The other members of XDA-Developers Forum also discussed the use of such methods so that the Goole cell phone G1, as well as other types of Android act as a Wi-Fi router in the future.

Motorola Loses $397M in Q3, China General Manager to Resign

Ren WeiguangMotorola vice president and China mobile terminal business general manager Ren Weiguang said on Thursday that he intends to resign this week. Motorola China president Gao Ruibing will serve as general manager in the interim.

Ren joined Motorola in April, 2004, is responsible for all China GSM-related businesses, but the badly performeance of mobile phone business become the the main reason for Ren's leaving.

Background:

Motorola plunged to a US$397 million loss in the third quarter, unable to control costs to match its declining revenue. The company announced plans to cut costs by $800 million in 2009, but has postponed plans to sell its loss-making mobile devices division until 2010. Instead, it will revamp its product line to focus on phones running software from Google and Microsoft.

The company reported revenue of $7.48 billion for the three months ended Sept. 27, down from $8.81 billion for the year-earlier quarter, and made a net loss of $397 million, a sharp drop from its net profit of $60 million a year earlier. The company losses amounted to a loss of $0.18 per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of $0.02 per share.

Revenue from mobile devices totalled $3.1 billion for the third quarter, down 31 percent from a year earlier, while the division's operating loss ballooned to $840 million from $248 million a year earlier. The quarter's losses include charges related to the company's plans to simplify its product portfolio and the software platforms it uses.

Co-CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed reports that Motorola will develop mobile phones for the Android platform. The company is also abandoning the Symbian UIQ operating system, and its proprietary mobile Linux OS, to focus on the Google-backed platform and Microsoft's Windows Mobile.

Defending the decision on the company's conference call with analysts on Thursday, Jha said that the experience of trying to commercialize a proprietary operating system and create an ecosystem of third-party developers around it has demonstrated the difficulty of the task. "We see a large ecosystem centered around the mobile Internet, Android, Windows Mobile," Jha said. He added that Motorola is working closely with the Android platform group and plans to open an office in Seattle to work more closely with Microsoft on Windows Mobile.

Motorola aims to have an Android-based handset out in time for the fourth-quarter holiday sales season in 2009.

Steve Jobs Bogged Down Health Rumors, Five Major Missions are not Completed

Steve Jobs In recent months, Steve Jobs's physical condition became the focus of industry attention. Some people even suspected him of cancer recurrence. And just in this critical period, the United States Bloomberg News mistakenly released Jobs Obituary in the afternoon of Wednesday .


The evaluation of Jobs is that the computer has become easy-to-use like the mobile phone; he changed the production way of the animated films, make digital music popular and lead the trendy of the handset design. Bloomberg quickly removed the obituary, but left some reverie to people.

Some analysts believe that Jobs is still below 5 works have not yet been completed:

1. Tablet PC

The touch-screen technology used by iPhone has been applied to the iPod products. But Apple hinted that iPod is not the only use of touch technology products. Some analysts believe that Apple will take the touch technology into the Tablet PC. Bill Shope, Analyst of Credit Suisse Global think it is very likely for Apple to launch the Tablet PC in short term.

2. TV

Early in this year, Forrester Research first proposed the idea in a report. Subsequently, the Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak also hinted that Apple will launch its own design TV. If so, Apple TV will regain freshman.

3. Remote control equipment

For Jobs which has strong desire of control, introducing a remote control device is almost irresistible. In fact, Apple has made efforts in this area. For example, Apple has developed an application that allows users of iPhone and iPod remote control a computer or Apple TV.

4. e-Reader

Amazon's e-book reader Kindle has early succeeded, but still fly in the ointment. In addition to the deficiencies in the design, Kindle lack of business mode for success. Unlike iPod, to closely integrate the equipment and contents.

5. Personal Computer

Graphical user interface and a mouse is not the invention of Steve Jobs, but he first applied these technology to a computer, and attract users. Mac computers has been launched for 24 years. But now, keyboard is still the main form of dialogue between human and computer. With the popularity of touch technology, I believe Jobs should have some ideas in improving human-computer interaction.

Differences of 3G Network Cause iPhone 3G Connection Problem

iPhone 3GAccording to media reports, a survey recently released shows that iPhone 3G frequent connection problems because of the service providers' 3G network, rather than the phone itself.

Recently, the rest of the world's users of iPhone 3G are complaining about the phone's problems of connection interruption and not enough signal strength. In response, the well-known technology magazine Wired.com and Gadget Lab conducted a survey. According to the survey, recently iPhone 3G's problems stem form regional differences of 3G network, rather than the iPhone's.

Wired.com's surveys show that the United States and Europe 3G network coverage strength are very different. Specifically, the 3G network users form Germany and the Netherlands enjoy the best of their download speeds, can reach about 2000 Kbps. And majority of users which can connected to the 3G in the United States. At the same time, the survey also showed that the users under the service provider T-Mobile's network coverage in Europe can enjoy the fatest download speed, can achieve an average of 1822 Kbps. The Europe's 3G network is most mature, while the U.S. 3G network started in 2004.

Followed by Europe is Rogers and Fido, two Canadian service providers. Their download speeds can up to about 1330 Kbps. Although the United States 3G network is not mature, but AT & T's network is still ranked third, its download speed is around 990 Kbps, are tied with the Telstra (Australia), Softbank (Japan) and Telia (Sweden). The slowest 3G network's ownership is the Australian service providers Optus and Virgin, the average download speed of only 390 Kbps.

From a small region, such networks are still obvious different. For example, the survey shows that in Manhattan, New York Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue, there is very strong 3G signal. But other regions of the New York network are not always.

Wired.com's survey showed that iPhone 3G's major problems stem from the service providers' network, rather than the phone itself. And if fact is as the survey, then Apple will not be able to update software to solve the users' problems. Because in order to solve this problem, Apple should wait for all service providers optimize their 3G network.
