TETHERING WITH ANDROID

I upgraded my Samsumg GT-I5503 to the latest version of Android(Froyo)2.2. It has got so many features and really very attractive. The main thing is it is able to work as a hotspot for internet for other devices!! I tested it and working like a charm!!! Hats off to Froyo2.2! No restrictions like iphone! We bought iphone and apple is deciding what we should use! Strange! No such restrictions in Androids, since it is open code.

Install Froyo 2.2 on Samsung 5503 Galaxy5

"Rooting" and "Jailbreaking"

Rooting(term used for android phones) means to access the phone with administrative rights, to modify the system

Jailbreaking(term used for iphone)

A jailbreak is simply the ability to run apps and use themes and tweaks not approved by Apple. Jailbreaking doesn't slow down your device or use any extra battery. A jailbreak lets your device be how you want it. Visit here to Jailbreak your iphone, from the phone itself
