News round-up: 29th June 2009

29 June 2009 by Shaun 6 Comments

ne29A jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS is on its way and BGR has posted the first image showing it in action. This one is not from the Dev Team either, but wherever these come from be careful!

Fennec Alpha 2 has been released for Windows Mobile. It doesn’t appear to have a whole lot of new stuff in this version, but will no doubt be more stable.

The BlackBerry Tour is now expected to launch on Sprint in July 20th, much quicker than previously expected, and really does look like a true powerhouse of a smartphone.

The HTC Hero is starting to appear for pre-order all over the web, but Clove has it listed as potentially being available this Friday. The price is £349+VAT and I for one am looking forward to seeing how it behaves long term.

Finally, the simplified re-design of 247 has been completed- hope you like the less busy look…

    I actually preferred the cluttered look. Seemed more active. Love the wooden design.

    Personally, I like it. I like the wooden look, too. (How long before Shaun gets bored & wants another change? Six months?)

    I like it, but I did also like the article summary with click for full story.

    Like the new look Shaun. Nice one :-)

    I prefer it like this. But I would like to have the “log in” at the top. I like the fact that it’s less cluttered. But the most important thing is the content, you’re never going to be able to please everyone… but… are you happy with it?

    If most readers are happy, I am happy. Just got to work out how I screwed up the footer now?:)
