Sony Tablet S, Tablet P getting Android 4.0 update

Sony recently posted some good news for Tablet S and Tablet P owners, confirming that the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will indeed be rolling out to both devices. The news was posted in Sony UK’s community forums, but the company hasn’t confirmed yet when this update will arrive.

Both devices feature unique form factors with the Tablet S being a 10-inch device that resembles a folded back magazine while the Tablet P sports a smaller more pocketable clam shell design. Both devices come with a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, Android 3.2 Honeycomb.

We’ve heard real minuscule nigh the two devices since actuation, but it’s discriminating to see that Sony is works activity both slates and that its bespoken programme hasn’t reserved a platform advance suchlike it has for Samsung’s Beetleweed S and Coltsfoot Tab.

Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 released for Mac, brings tethered jailbreak to iOS 5

Your patience has paid off. The planet’s first openly accessible jailbreak is now available for those who’ve taken the plunge with iOS 5 (beta), and if you just can’t go another day without access to Cydia, well… you don’t have to. Redsn0w 0.9.8b1 has been released for Mac users, but given that it’s a tethered solution, you’ll have to plug ‘er back into your machine each time you need to reboot. We’d encourage you to wait for the inevitable untethered alternative, but those who aren’t having any of that “listening to your elders” hoopla can hop on down to the source link.
