This video is leaked from sina.com.cn. The oPhone is Lenovo’s new touch screen phone based by Google Android system. The design is alot similar to the Apple iPhone, but there are some bright spots on its interface design.

Since the start of the Obama campaign, Kenyans have showed great affections toward the first black president of America. And now, there is a new way to show some love to Mr. Obama, and that is, BUY A OBAMA PHONE.

Yeah, that’s right. The Chinese made Obama phone is set to enter Kenyan market in a short time. The cellphone does not have any fancy features but what is does have is Obama’s most used propaganda “Yes We Can” and “Obama” on the back of the cellphone. Spec-wise, it has a 125×125 color screen w/ radio. The best about it is, you can get it for only $30 US.

Well, for sure the phone is not a official Obama product, but it just might attract some Kenyan’s attention.

This phone has a great interface and arguably better than the original iPhone. It is called Meizu M8, and it is still in the beta stage of developing. In the video, the system still react a little bit slow but sure there is room for improvements. And the best thing is, it is CHEAPER than iPhone.

Change: So the author of Aurora Feint left a comment about the stored phone numbers and emails, and said they are only for community features of the game. There are no evidence of Aurora Feint actually uploading information to their server. But we hope in the next version of Aurora Feint, users should get informed after entering the game and preferably a option that let users to choose if they want to enable this community feature.

Hey there,

Can you please correct this article? I’ve written a detailed outline of what we’re doing with people’s contact list data on our web site. The short answer is we only store what you type in to our application on the web server. We never spam, rent, sell, or do anything funky with your personal data.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask me personally.By the way, preventing the application from writing to the account data file will break your save games.- Jason CitronP.S. We are posting the privacy notice now. It should be live by noon PST.# admin Says:

Well, the problem is that users are not told by Aurora Feint that they are actually using the information stored in the Contacts application, and the personal information collected by the app is definitely not submitted through your website.So I would like to see you guys inform the users that you are actually using the contacts information from the iPhone, and let users to choose if they want Aurora Feint to use it for Community Features.

Thanks

Aurora Feint is a popular free App Store game, it even got to the top 25 list from official Apple site. Bur recently users report that they found Aurora Feint secretly collection iPhone (iPod Touch) Contact information.
So first I installed Aurora Feint from App Store and run the game for about few minutes.

Then to test if Aurora Feint actually collect person info, I added two Contacts, one email address, one note entry, and web history of google search.

Now I ran the game once again, clicked through the game so it gets the time to steal my personal info and store it XD.

Okay, now let’s check the result. Btw you will need a jailbroke iPhone and OpenSSH installed to access iPhone directory. Connect your iPhone from your computer through SSH client. Go to
/private/var/mobile/Applications/*****(Randomly generated code with iMmo.app in it)/Documents
There should be a file named iMmoAccountData , download the file and open it use any text editor.

And now, what do you discover? Oh My GOD, it’s the contact information I just entered!

Are you disgusted by Aurora Feint now? Time to delete it!

However, if you still want to play this game without it collecting anymore personal info, here is how to do it.

• Delete the original iMmoAccoutData in Documents folder
• Create a blank file named iMmoAccoutData and put it in the same folder
• Change the permission to 444 so Aurora Feint cannot modify this file any more.

Obviously Apple got some work to do about iPhone user privacy and properly managing App Store platform, so personal info cannot be easily collected without users notice.

From the screenshots, you can see that Symbian increased the screen resolution to 640*480. Buttons are enlargeable for touch screen controls.

Note:This tutorial also apply to iPhone (not sure about 3G), make sure you setup Bootneutor properly during the process for unlocking the phone.

Note 2: The newest PwnageTool 2.0.1 has just been released, I recommend you to use it. People who are having trouble with the previous version (such as 1600 error), you should give 2.0.1 another try.

iPhone Dev Team has just released the PwnageTool 2.0 for Mac OS X and I will write a walkthrough for jailbreaking an iPod Touch.

What you will need: PwnageTool 2.0, a copy of the original 2.0 Firmware for iPod Touch (i used 5A347), an iPod Touch with any firmware or status, and Mac OS X (prefer Leopard)

1. Open PwnageTool 2.0 and choose Expert Mode (trust me, its not hard to work with. Click ‘iPod Touch’, then ‘next’.



2. Click “Browse for IPSW” and open the iPod Touch 2.0 firmware you’ve just downloaded.



3. In the next window choose “General” then continue.

   

4. Choose the root partition space for 3rd-party applications, I chose 1GB just in case.



5. Then pick the applications you want to be pre-installed into the firmware (pick whatever you would like to have installed)



6. Choose Cydia Installer.



7. Here comes the fun part of it, you get to choose custom boot logo and restore logo. (I am a Raptors fan my self XD).



8. Pick a location to save your jailbroken firmware and watch PwnageTool go to work!
9. After the building is done, it will ask if your iPod had been pwned before, choose according to your situation.



10. PwnageTool will then give you detailed instructions to put your iPod to DFU Mode.



Note: If PwnageTool says ‘failed to enter DFU mode’, follow the tutorial to do it manually.


11. Now you are done working with PwnageTool, open your iTunes 7.7 and it will say “iTunes detects iPod Touch in recovery mode…”. Hold Alt key then press the restore button, iTunes will let you pick the firmware file to restore. Choose the custom firmware PwnageTool made and start restoring.



12. After the process is completed, set up your iPod in iTunes just like how you usually do it.



13. Now your iPod is fully jailbroken and has Cydia installed.







Note: There are still some capability issues exist for Cydia Installer under 2.0 firmware, some apps and functions may not work properly.

Good luck, please comment your feedback.

Even though iPhone 2.0 firmware is not yet available on iTunes, the download link has already appeared on Apple.com. This firmware is for iPhones only and it is the final 2.0 firmware, not beta versions. However, it is not recommanded for jailbreak iphones to upgrade since the firmware is not yet cracked.
