Unveiled earlier this month, Samsung Galaxy S II Plus has just hit shelves in Taiwan. This is the first country to get the upgraded version of the popular Galaxy S II smartphone, but it will come to other countries as well.

The folks at UnwiredView report that the smartphone is now available for customers in Taiwan for around 13,900 TWD outright, which is about $475 or €350. Unlike its Galaxy S II predecessor, the Plus version comes with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box. However, those who still own the old Galaxy S II will be happy to know that Samsung is readying a Jelly Bean upgrade for their devices as well. The update is expected to roll out in February, but an exact release date has yet to be unveiled. Aside from the updated software, the Galaxy S II Plus does not come with anything new it terms of hardware.   Although it packs a similar 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Galaxy S II Plus’ CPU is manufactured by Broadcom, while the Galaxy S II is powered by a 1.2 GHz Exynos processor made by Samsung.

The good news is that the former also features microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 64GB). The Galaxy S II Plus is powered by a 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery that has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.

Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 Does the Job on Both Mac and Windows to Jailbreak iOS 6.1




The latest iOS 6.1 beta from Apple is supported by Redsn0w 0.9.15b3, a jailbreak tool coded by the infamous iPhone Dev Team. The hack is a tethered one for now, but as soon as Apple releases the final version of iOS 6.1 to the public, the untethered jailbreak will also be made available.

Developers who’ve downloaded the iOS 6.1 beta 5 from Apple confirmed this weekend that, unlike previous betas, it doesn’t require registration. In other words, the IPSW is usable much in the same way as a public iOS release. This doesn’t mean you should mess around with your device like that, but we’re not here to take sides or hold lectures on jailbreaking. Apple doesn’t like it, and it might void your warranty. ‘Nuff said.

With that out of the way, if you’re an iOS developer who has already downloaded the latest iOS 6.1 beta and you’re looking for a jailbreak, we’re pleased to inform you that Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 does the job brilliantly. As before, all you need to do is point the software to a stock iOS 6 IPSW designated for your device (only A4 handsets supported for now). To get Cydia, make sure its box is checked during the installation process. You’ll also need to click OK on the Tethered Jailbreak notification.

Super Talent VLP DDR3




There used to be a time when memory modules, like all other pieces of hardware in a computer, were large, bulky, ugly things. Now, though, there are various ways to make them small, and Super Talent is eagerly using them.

DRAM and NAND chip maker Super Talent has formally introduced a new collection of memory modules with a very low height. They are seventeen in number and range from low-capacity but standard voltage to high capacity and low voltage, and every combination thereof. The IT player made them so that all sorts of PC motherboards and servers could benefit from their use. The low height will not matter so much for PCs, but blade servers will definitely have cause to rejoice, since it will permit them to be thinner than usual.

Just as important, if not more so, is that some of them can function at just 1.35V (versus 1.5V). Power efficiency is always a benefit, and explains why Super Talent describes this new memory set as “ updated green memory modules.” "Decreasing overhead in a data center is an easy way for a company to reduce costs. With Super Talent's Green Memory, power and cooling costs can be easily cut while maintaining speed and reliability for a company," said Shimon, VP of engineering, Super Talent Technology.

The amount of FR4 material used in the construction of the new RAM is 38% less than normal, even while sticking to JEDEC standard schematics. The capacities go from 2 GB to 8 GB. For details on each and every last module and kit, prospective buyers can go here, or take a look at the table embedded on the left.  If it's green memory but not RAM that people are looking for, Super Talent has also launched some new DuraDrive solid-state drives earlier this month (January 2013).

Samsung Galaxy S IV for AT&T Emerges in UAProf as Samsung SGH-I337




Galaxy S IV, the next flagship Android-based smartphone from South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung, might be set to land on shelves in the United States with model number SGH-I337 attached to it, the latest reports on the matter suggest.

The handset was spotted in a User Agent Profile featuring this model number and packing a 1080x1920 pixels display, which could be none other than the full HD screen that Galaxy S IV was long rumored to feature.

The UAProf points at an AT&T smartphone, based on the fact that the Galaxy S III landed at this carrier as the SGH-I747, yet it remains to be seen whether it will indeed prove to be the successor of this handset. The phone was spotted with Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, and should land on the global market as GT-I9500X, Ameblo notes.
