Samsung Unveils New Galaxy S Advance
Samsung has just announced its Galaxy S Advance, but it sure doesn’t advance a whole lot. 1Ghz processor, 768mb RAM, and a super AMOLED display. Next! I don’t think Samsung got Motorola’s memo. There are too many smartphones on the market! As a final NOTE, has anyone noticed the similarities this thing has to another phone in Sam’s lineup?

[Review] Doodle Sprint for iOS
Doodle Sprint for iOS is a 2D sidescrolling game that has you running over these green “hills” (you could call them) in order to go the farthest distance possible, but is it any good? Watch below to find out! (I might say overview in the video, but at the end I give it more of a review, it’s free, and barely a few MB, do I need to say anything more?)
CyanogenMod 9 Brings Ice Cream Sandwich To HP Touchpad
CM9 better known as CyanogenMod Ice Cream Sandwich, is an after market build of android. CM7 (Gingerbread) was ported to the HP Touchpad not too long ago. CM9 was being promised back in December for a possible January release of a build. Well January is here and with it we have the promised CM9 Alpha 0. The Alpha this time around is not like the first Alpha for the Touchpad. A whole host of features don’t work and it’s almost better to download CM7 at this point. Although i’m sure in the coming months that will all change. Click the source link below and navigate your way to delicious ICS if you so choose.

iOS 5 Brought To iPhone 2G And 3G Thanks To Whited00r
Still have your old iPhone 2G/3G somewhere or even using it as your daily runner still? Well for the latter we’d say the “waiting to upgrade” game has been won, but for both categories who are hungry for a taste of iOS 5 on their devices, never fear. A new jailbreak (yes it is a jailbreak, NOT A TWEAK) released today called Whited00r allows you to install a “heavily modified” version of 3.1.3 (the farthest 2G/3G iPhones and the first two gens of iPod Touch’s can go) which includes many of the features of 4.0 and more. iCloud has a custom setup however and Notifications Center is non existent. On the bright side of things if you messup with the jailbreak or just want to restore then you can just go back to the same firmware you had with no worries of Apple phasing out the restore for that IPSW. To see more about the Jailbreak go here.

As usual you are responsible for your own actions, anything that happens to your device is your own doing. There are so many ways to phrase that disclaimer.

Fallout MMO Struck Down By Bethesda in Legal Battle
Accoring to VG247, Interplay was developing a Fallout MMO when a lawsuit was pitched by Zenimax (Bethesda’s parent company) over the copyright and use of the Fallout IP. They claimed it was theirs and only they could use it, and now we’re here. Interplay will get some money from Zenimax and there will be not Fallout MMO, sadly. Interplay will not be able to use the Fallout IP anymore either.
