Mike Rayfield himself, NVIDIA’s General Manager of Tegra, said in an interview with Hexus, “I’m going to come pretty

Developers on XDA are sick and tired of Motorola’s hold on their device’s bootloaders. A device’s bootloader is the part of the phone that loads the phone’s operating system into memory. In most devices this can be hacked to allow developers to flash different ROMs on to the phone to get more features, faster performance, custom user interface tweaks, etc. Motorola, however, decided with the launch of the Motorola Milestone a while back that they

So by now most people know about the ChevronWP7 jailbreak tool that came out a while ago and then was taken down by it’s developer as a sort of peace offering to begin talks with Microsoft about “facilitating homebrew development”.

Remember the Sidekick? Seems like so long ago that this phone was the top phone on T-Mobile’s network (at least in the hands of teenagers across the country). And why was it so popular? Well, for one it had all the smartphone capabilities like email, web browsing, multitasking, etc. with a user friendly interface (this was before the days of the iPhone, or even HTC “TouchFlo” on Windows Mobile for that matter). Despite it’s multiple
