alexalex Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Folks at iPhoneIslam have just released the jailbreak tweak ? PhoneIt-iPad that turns the iPad into a fully functional phone, thus allowing iPad users to make calls and send SMS just like the iPhone. WIth No Speical Hardware all what you need is Jailbroken iPad 3G and your iPad 3G will do anything you expect from iPhone... Phone Calls, SMS, FaceTime by Phone Number... ETC http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/06/phoneit-ipad-hack-that-turns-ipad-3g-into-an-iphone-released.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexalex Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 On drug ? I think that you will be surprised how much of WP7 (in addition to the UI) will leak into Windows 8 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathSniper Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Should be pretty easy for them to block access to these features though. They can tell if your on an Ipad or Phone easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechronic Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I think that you will be surprised how much of WP7 (in addition to the UI) will leak into Windows 8 . if anything has come out of these past few months its that Microsoft wish to use a Metro UI inspired interface across all its products - including the Xbox Dashboard and they intend to introduce features such as the App Store in Windows, making it similar in some respects to a phone os. i expect more of this type of thing....no surprise really.

Wannes Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Cool! I can imagine the telcom meetings with an iPad lying in the middle of the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they don't make the tablet looks like a WP7 clone and more effectively utilize the screen estates. Compare the iPad and the iPhone and you will understand.

Xerxes Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yea, Apple won't be happy with this. To bad. :) Doubt Apple will care, if this proves popular expect the iPad 3 to have this built in! :p (this is nothing new, the Galaxy Tab and I'm sure other competing tablets, already have mobile phone functionality). At least they don't make the tablet looks like a WP7 clone and more effectively utilize the screen estates. Compare the iPad and the iPhone and you will understand. They didn't just copy the look and feel of the iPhone OS on the iPad, it is the iPhone OS (hence the name change to iOS). WP7 is only for mobile phones and not intended to be running on anything else. Windows tablets are [going to be] running full blown Win8 with a tablet interface. To be honest I don't see the Win8 tablet UI being surperior to the iPad UI. It's down to personal preference to which you feel is better. That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.
