After the release of Iphone 3.1 firmware,Iphone 3G S users were eager to update to the latest firmware and there were in a situation that they couldn’t jailbreak once they had upgraded to 3.1 firmware from the 3.0 firmware.What to do now ? Vinay had posted a method how to downgrade Iphone 3G S to older 3.0 firmware.Iphone users had to wait so that iphone dev team releases a patch on how to allow it to jailbreak.

Finally the iPhone Dev Team has announced its first jailbreak for devices running iPhone OS 3.1. The latest version of PwnageTool 3.1 can successfully jailbreak an iPhone, iPhone 3G, or first-gen iPod touch running the latest mobile OS from Apple. However, it will not work for the iPhone 3GS or newer iPod touch models.

The Dev Team warns that iPhone OS 3.1 includes an update for the iPhone’s baseband—essentially the system that connects with the cellular network for phone calls and data. Combined with differences in hardware and how updates are applied to its baseband, PwnageTool 3.1 will not work on an iPhone 3GS. Furthermore, an iPhone 3G that is unlocked to work on carriers other than the “official” ones will still need ultrasn0w to update without breaking. An iPhone 3G that is factory unlocked or isn’t unlocked can be jailbroken with PwnageTool without issue.

Currently only MAC OS X users can jailbreak using Pwnage Tool. Older, second-gen hardware can use redsn0w with 3.0.1 or earlier firmware, but not with 3.1. The team has an update for redsn0w in the works but you will have to wait for a release soon.

Altaf posted some links where you can get Pwnage tool 3.1 other than what i have mentioned above.

Opera’s aim is for your mobile internet browser to mimic the way you how your surf the net on your desktop pc.What Opera mini does is it compresses images and stuff before its being sent to your phone so your page will load faster.

Key features of Opera Mini 5 include:

  • New, sleek design: The look has been changed as compared to the older 4 version and now the latest version has a super cool look which makes you feel comfortable while you browse through web.
  • Tabbed browsing:This is one awesome feature i love as i frequently use tabbed navigation in my fire fox as well as opera.The tabs show a thumbnail of the website opened and you can  close the tabs with the close button.

I had posted about Google Chrome 3 Beta which is a new version of its WebKit-based open source Web browser and how to get the offline installer for it, now Google Chrome browser have updated and come out of Beta.Many improvements have been made to browser, including the boast that it is now 25 per cent faster than before.That means to say that it’s 1.5 times faster than the previous first version of Chrome.It also includes a theme system, improvements to the Omnibox, and a redesigned New Tab page.There’s been 3,505 bug fixes in the last year – visual tweaks include a neater version of the browsers tabs.

According to Google, the performance of the browser’s V8 JavaScript engine has increased by over 150 percent since the original version of Chrome was released. Thanks to Google’s aggressive performance optimizations, V8 has zoomed past Mozilla’s Trace Monkey JavaScript engine.It was real fast for me.The new theme system allows users to customize the browser’s look and feel. A number of new styles are available for users to install from the Chrome theme gallery. The new start page allows users to pin or remove the recent page thumbnails. Chrome 3 also shines in the area of emerging standards as it brings support for several key HTML5 features such as the Video element.

One more feature similar to Firefox’s about:config is about: memory.This will be give you the memory utilization and also details on each url/tab memory utilization.If you need to find out the processes in real time then just hit CTRL + ESC button on keyboard to view stats.If you have a slow connection and want to have a offline installer you can download below.
