George Hotz aka geohot, known for hacking the Apple iPhone has hacked the Playstation 3. George announced that he had hacked the PS3 on Friday, January 22nd.

For at least the past 2 years now, I’ve been trying to find a good cell phone that has WIFI capabilities, but does not require a data plan for a “reasonable” price. I really thought that this would not be difficult thing to accomplish. However, I still haven’t found this cell phone yet.

I’ve been waiting for it for awhile, and it’s getting closer and closer to arriving, but it’s still not quite there. So what I’m looking for is an Powerful, thin, lightweight netbook that doubles as a tablet PC and E-Book reader by folding over the LCD. The tablet component should not require a stylus to [...]

So, I’ve come across some things on the Zipit that are creating some frustration for me. First of all, I thought it would be cool to try and get Apache up and running and have a mobile web server. Well, some of the directory structures/files are missing on the zipit, which creates some aggravation when [...]
So, finally I was able to find some time to concentrate on the Zipit. Some useful information that I learned is that the Zipit Z2 is using the Marvell 88W8686 802.11b/g wireless network chipset, which happens to be the same chipset found in the Apple iPhone. Unfortunately, there isn’t any open firmware for it, so [...]
