You can hand over Dell Mini 5 aka Dell Streak to a 5 year old and still enjoy complete peace of mind. This is courtesy its 5 inch diagonal capacitive screen which is made out of Gorilla Glass.

The glass is environmentally friendly and made of alkali-aluminosilicate. To put the glass to the test, Engadget tried to stab the hell out of it with a ball point pen. Check the video below.

Isn’t that just brilliant! The screen remained unscathed despite the torture. For those of you wondering what the specs of Dell Streak look like, here’s the list

Seems like AT&T always has an ace up its sleeve when it comes to annoying iDevice customers. The latest victim being iPad users. The $29.99 truly unlimited monthly plan for iPad is no longer available to new customers; however, existing customers can choose to stay on the unlimited plan or opt for DataPro plan.

On the pretext of offering affordable mobile internet, AT&T has killed unlimited plans and now just provides two plans called DataPlus and DataPro ($15 per month for 200MB and $25 for 2GB respectively).

No unlimited plan for iPhone is understandable but for a device like iPad which is always data hungry, the removal of unlimited plan is completely unacceptable.

Here’s AT&T’s press release:

We’re definitely mourning the death of unlimited data — “unlimited” is a word that consumers always naturally like to hear — but AT&T points out that 98 percent of its smartphone subscribers use less than 2GB a month, which means that nearly all users ultimately stand to see a $5 reduction in their monthly bills. We spoke to Mark Collins — AT&T Mobility’s senior vice president of data and voice products — about the changes for a few clarifications on the company’s strategy, and he made it crystal clear that the concept of unlimited data is a thing in the past (echoing comments made recently by Verizon’s Lowell McAdam), particularly in light of the oncoming spectrum crunch that stands to make wireless broadband an even more precious commodity than it already is. He also mentioned that laptop plans are unaffected by this move, though he went on to say that they’ve laid a “framework” for data pricing here that should continue all the way through to the company’s LTE rollout, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see some tweaks made on the laptop side sooner or later (to reduce overage fees, if nothing else).

We mentioned that the change stands to hurt a few users, and it’s true — we’re extremely heavy smartphone users here, for example, and we’re hard-pressed to break even a gigabyte of usage in a month; anyone doing a boatload of video streaming though, or lacking access to WiFi at home and the office (AT&T’s quick to boast about its 20,000-odd hotspots) might find themselves regularly slamming headlong into that 2GB cap, and there won’t be any option but to buy overage. For what it’s worth, Collins pointed out to us that the plans will feature automatic text and email alerts at 65, 90, and 100 percent usage of your monthly allowance (and at 75 and 100 percent usage of each overage purchase), so it should be pretty easy to keep an eye on things and make sure you don’t break the bank.

Opera fans will be thrilled to know that the latest alpha build of the browser has been released for Windows, Mac and Linux users. The new build flaunts performance improvements in CSS, DOM and Javascript. It’s also 76% better than Opera 10.5 when it comes to PeaceKeeper benchmark.

Here are some other features:

Windows, Mac and Linux in sync
Versions for Windows, Mac and Linux will be made available at the same time.

Wide-screen Speed Dial
Now, Speed Dial fits most monitors better with wide-screen thumbnails for your favorite web pages, giving a clearer preview view of websites.

Improved tab previews
The visual “peek” effect when hovering over tabs looks more refined with smoothly rounded corners and a clear display of page titles.

A more visible menu button
The Opera menu button for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD users is now clearly labeled so that it is easier to find and use.

Linux/FreeBSD versions
Opera 10.5x final has been skipped, but all its new features will be included in Opera 10.60. This includes private browsing, improved KDE and Gnome skinning, and much more.

Users with non-jailbroken iPhone will definitely find ‘3G calling functionality’ on Skype a tempting feature. So am sure the latest update which provides this functionality must have been downloaded by millions of users.

If you are one among such users, it’s highly likely that you are having issues signing into your Skype account. In that case, we have a quick-fix for you

1) Tap on Settings.
2) Scroll down and click on skype.
3) Toggle the ‘Sign in automatically to skype’ option to OFF.
4) That’s it! You can now enjoy the latest update of Skype :)

Asking Apple to provide us with the flash feature on our iDevice is like fighting a lost battle. However, thanks to rebels like Chris Smoak we can avail a workaround for flash on our iPhone or iPad.

The workaround developed by Chris is called SmokeScreen and here is how it works:

It runs entirely in the browser, reads in SWF binaries, unzips them (in native JS), extracts images and embedded audio and turns them in to base64 encoded data:uris, then stitches the vector graphics back together as animated SVG.

Apparently, SmokeScreen is slower than Adobe’s flash plugin as it’s written in JavaScript. But one can’t deny the fact that it’s a step in the right direction and the prospect of iPhone/iPad users getting a full fledged flash alternative looks very bright.

A common complaint among users who try apps from Apptrackr and Appcake is the inability to update all the cracked apps in a systematic manner. Till date the only option was to look for each cracked app on the iPhone springboard and go to apptrackr and download the update.

Now the Apptrackr community can bid a good bye to this problem thanks to an app on Cydia called the Updatr.

Here are the steps to download the Updatr app

1) Tap on Cydia.

2) Choose Manage tab on the bottom of the screen.

3)3) Select Sources.

4) On the top-right corner you will find edit button, select that and then tap add button. You will be asked to enter a url. Enter http://repo.sinfuliphone.com and tap on add sources.

(Note: If the above source doesn’t work then try http://cydia.xsellize.com and tap on add sources)

5) Cydia then updates your sources.

6) Once this is done. Tap on search at the bottom of cydia and in the search box look for Updatr.

7) Install Updatr.

8) Congrats, you can now directly update cracked apps on your iPhone / iPod Touch.

Here’s a video uploaded by mrappreviewer7 which shows the functionality of Updatr.

Ryan Petrich, the developer of ProSwitcher, ActionMenu etc is out with another amazing app called Display Recorder. The new app provides iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd Generation users the ability to record their springboard.

If you want to give it a shot, just head over to Cydia on your jailbroken iPhone and use a free demo. If you find it useful, you can buy it for $4.99. Here’s what the app offers:

• Records directly to high quality AVI
• Web interface to manage recordings
• On-device YouTube uploading
• Adjustable framerate & quality settings
• Hardware accelerated video encoding
• Activator integration for quick access
• Remote control via web interface

It would have been great had it worked on iPhone 3G too, but I reckon Ryan didn’t want to compromise on the quality by providing support for the iPhone 3G due to its hardware limitations.
