The biggest craze in the world of smartphones this year is set to be the introduction of dual core processors with the world's first dual core handset, the LG Optimus 2X, already going on sale in Asian and European markets. Although beaten to the finish line in the United States by the Motorola Atrix 4G, the high powered LG smartphone is now coming to the United States in the form of the T-Mobile G2x which, as the name change would suggest, has had some slight modifications for the US market. However, aside from an increase in data connection speeds, these modifications are only slight and mean that US smartphone users will be able to enjoy the same great phone that is causing such a sensation elsewhere in the world.

To start off with, Adobe decided that the ability to add bookmarks on a PDF document should only be available to those users who pay. In other words, you cannot add bookmarks in your PDF documents in Adobe Reader. You need to have the editor which is paid. Imagine the pain of reading a thick PDF book and saving the page number manually every time you close the document. There’s another way adding bookmarks in your PDF documents right inside Adobe Acrobat Reader. Here’s how:

LG seems to be having a lot of firsts in the mobile phone industry this year. They were the first phone manufacturer to announce a dual core smartphone in the form of the Optimus 2X, as well as the first to produce a 3D enabled tablet. LG have also extended this 3D technology to their smartphones with the latest LG Optimus 3D, which will be the first phone to come with 3D technology included.

The last couple of years have seen a resurgence in the popularity of 3D technology, largely due to Hollywood movie studios cracking down on movie piracy by offering something that the pirates cannot replicate. While many have seen the resurrection of 3D glasses at cinemas as little more than a gimmick, there is no denying that with recent technological improvements 3D has become hugely popular again. So much so that it is now migrating to other areas of the technological and entertainment world.

LG has traditionally lagged behind in the high-end smartphone market with Apple, HTC and Samsung pushing the industry forwards. With the official unveiling of LG's latest batch of smartphones however, it seems that the tides are starting to turn in the Korean company's favour. Alongside the Optimus Black, which will be the latest phone to take the title of "world's thinnest smartphone" as well as having the world's brightest phone screen, the LG Optimus 2X looks set to push LG to the forefront of the industry with a number of significant firsts in terms of hardware and software features.

Apple has finally pulled one of the most popular Media Player apps on the App Store: VLC Media Player. VLC app lets you play popular media formats on your iPhone and iPad without first converting them to an iPhone or iPad supported format (MP3, MP4). VLC app has been removed from the App Store on the request of developer Rémi Denis-Courmont who argued that the app violates VLC's GNU Public License and therefore should be removed from the store.

Amazon’s Kindle now has a deadly competitor in the shape of Apple iPad. With its release, not only has it gripped the mobile entertainment industry in it’s sharp yet elegant claws but has also hit the market that was once ruled by Amazon’s flagship eReader: Kindle. With Apple’s iPad you can read all your favorite books, magazines and news papers in the popular PDF and ePub formats. Transferring these files to iPad and then managing them is what Xilisoft’s iPad PDF Transfer tool lets you do in a very nice and easy to use way.

With iPad, you can watch videos, lectures, music and movies on the go or even when at home, iPad users mostly tend to skip their desktop to get the mobile entertainment experience with iPad. To get the same multimedia experience on your iPad, it’s required that you convert all your multimedia to an iPad supported video format before you could view it on your iPad. This is where Video converters come in and with Xilisoft’s iPad Video Converter, this has become really easy now.

Managing Music, Movies and files on your iPhone could be a problem if you are on the move and don’t have the machine on which you have iTunes installed. There are also features you would like iTunes to include but it does not have them. This is where a client software that can be easily installed on a Windows machine comes in: iPhone Magic is the perfect match of file manager for your iPhone as well as a back up tool which makes sure you do not lose a bit of data from your iPhone.

With a plethora of media content on your computer and all the movies, music and documentaries that you download each day, you would love to use it on your iPad. iTunes is the default and the only software that you can legally use to move all your media content and almost any other content supported by iPad onto your iPad but the problem is that it does not has a converter and so you’re stuck with finding a reliable, fast converter that does not compromise the quality of your media content and yet be simple enough to use. iPad Magic is one such all-in-one tool.

Apple has just released iOS update 4.1 which is a major release and the first after the rebranding of iPhone OS to iOS. Since it’s a major release, we expect some big leaps and improvements, additions and most-needed patches. Here’s a list of new features as well as patches added in iOS update 4.1

Unlike the now-popular JailbreakMe which lets you jailbreak your iPhone 4 (and older) and iPod touch (all models) with just a single click, there is definite news that a new bootrom based exploit will be released in just a matter of days? iOS 4.1 update has been shipped by Apple already and the timing of this new jailbreak exploit is surely exciting. JailbreakMe and all other previous jailbreak tools use leaks in the iOS (previously known as iPhone OS) to jailbreak your iDevice but with a bootrom based jailbreak, you will have even more control like you would be able to change the boot logo among other things.

Hotmail has announced the support of Push notifications for it’s Mail, Calendar and Contacts for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with the support of Exchange ActiveSync. With the support of Exchange ActiveSync, you can now keep your emails, contacts and calendar items updates which means anytime you check, delete or send out a new email, it will be synced with the web version of hotmail in no time. Previously, you had to access the web version of hotmail and syncing it just like you do with your Gmail on iPhone/iPad was not possible.

Apple has just released iOS 4.0.2 update for iPhone which patches the PDF exploit that was used by JailbreakMe.com for jailbreaking iPhone 4. It’s been said that there is absolutely nothing new added in this minor iOS update other then the patch for the exploit. The update is simple and all you need to do is connect your iPhone to iTunes and wait for the popup (or click here to download iOS 4.0.2 directly).

Comex et al (meaning Comex and the rest of the group) have finally released JailbreakMe which has to be the easiest way to jailbreak your new iPhone 4 running iOS 4 or iOS 4.0.1 update. Just like Blackra1n, all you have to do is slide (complete procedure below) and you jailbreak your iPhone 4.
