Should Google have released Android in its current version? Though they’ve been criticised for releasing it with bugs and it not being ready for users, it’s competing with the iPhone which probably had as much to do with the release than anything else. Android v2 is expected to be released in 2009 and Samsung are [...]

Nokia’s Comes With Music DRM cracked
It seems that Tunebite allows Nokia’s DRM to be cracked. Tunebite has been around for a while so it’s not a new system. Tunebite internally “plays” the DRM’ed music at high speed and converts the digital output back into a non-DRM file. It’s very unlikely that Nokia can do much about this, it’s like plugging [...]
