Very interesting. I can pair my iPhone running the new 1.1.4 firmware with my Mac over Bluetooth, but it can’t find any services. I don’t think this worked with earlier firmware. I also tried iSync and BluePhoneElite and they threw the same message. I really hope this means that wireless sync is coming soon. Tethering [...]

Only a month or so after Apple announced its MacBook Air laptop, which it calls the world’s thinnest laptop, Lenovo is about to spring its own super-skinny machine: the ThinkPad X300. Here’s a sneak peek. My full review will appear after I have fully tested this unusual new laptop, which I expect to be of great interest to road warriors.
Like the MacBook Air, this is a rare small laptop that is built around a full 13-inch-wide screen display and a full keyboard, rather than the little screens and cramped keyboards common in subnotebooks. And, like the Air, it offers a fast, rugged solid-state drive instead of a hard disk.
But, unlike the Apple, Lenovo’s new skinny ThinkPad comes with a hefty complement of ports and features, some of the very things critics complained Apple left out. It has a built-in DVD drive, removable battery, three USB ports, and a wired Ethernet networking jack. Inside, in addition to Wi-Fi, it can be ordered with a built-in cellphone modem and even GPS. It comes with either Windows Vista or Windows XP.
Sporting the traditional ThinkPad black slab design, the X300 isn’t as skinny or sexy as the Apple, but it’s still very slender and attractive, at under an inch thick. Also, unlike the Apple, most of the ThinkPad’s configurations are a bit heavier than the 3-pound weight that traditionally denotes a subnotebook. But it still feels very light to carry around, at 3.12 pounds with the standard battery and DVD drive.
The biggest downsides to the new ThinkPad X300 are price and limited storage capacity. Unlike the Apple, which can be ordered with a higher-capacity, lower-priced hard disk, the new ThinkPad will only be available with the expensive, limited capacity solid-state drive. So it will start at between $2,500 and $2,800–up to $1,000 more than the Apple’s base price–and will be limited to a paltry 64 gigabytes of storage.

Geohot released the iPhone bootloaderv 4.6 unlock.
++++
geohot's 1.1.2 software unlock
yes, this is what you have all been waiting for
now fixed to support 1.1.3
1. Download these:
gunlock and the secpack from http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/
the 4.02.13 fls from http://george.zjlotto.com/index.php/baseband/
2. Downgrade your phone to 1.0.2. See all the great tutorials online to do this.
Your baseband won't be downgraded, this is normal.
This will probably work on other versions too, but 1.0.2 doesn't lose wifi on bb access.
3. Kill CommCenter and run "gunlock secpack ICE04.02.13_G.fls"
4. Reload CommCenter. For some reason my phone was in brick mode. Use the elite team bricktool to get out.
5. Enjoy your 1.1.2 OTB unlocked iPhone

It will only work on iPhones with bootloader 3.9!Download the new package on page 10 posted by SoLaR
hxxp://rap|d$hare.com/files/89384929/ipsftool-1.1.3-3.9_ONLY_-try3.rar

reboot
then use
Dev Team Soft-Update to 1.1.3 (if you have not done so already)
and should have 1.1.3 firmware and modem/baseband 04.0313_G
If signal.app is not palced in the Applications folder, manually place it there (0775 permissions) and reboot, then run it manually from the springboard
Quote:
On the 1.1.3 baseband, it relocks on every reset. This is true with real IPSF too. A script to send 'AT+CLCK="PN",0,"00000000" will fix this, but there should be a better way. Maybe this a feature on the new baseband and the new lockdownd does this.
to re-unlockinstall Patched Signal.app for IPSFed BL 3.9 1.1.3 iPhones (add to apps dir 755 permissions)
Get it from: http://r-a-p-i-d-s-h-a-r-e.de/files/38416336/signal.plist.zip.html (remove "-" from URL)
and put it into /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ for Signal.app to automatically run on startup/reboot
or
type the following in terminal
1. # launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
2. # minicom
3. AT+CLCK="PN",0,"00000000"
4. AT+CLCK="PN",2
5. launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
Copy/backup your seczone to your computer - it will be in /usr/bin
* zip it, name is properly, and file it in case of emergency *
