- Swype unofficially makes its way to iOS, slides in via Jailbreak radar
Did you finally use JailbreakMe to free your iPhone? Well, if you’re also sick of pecking at its virtual keyboard, then Andrew Liu’s new Swype iOS port may pique your interest. Although the app’s still in the earliest of stages — version 0.1.0, to be exact — we can confirm it works, but it did take us two downloads with Cydia and functionality proved limited. We were able to swipe words in pre-loaded apps like Messaging, Mail and Search, but had no luck with Safari or others we’ve downloaded. Furthermore, Swype’s all-important blue trace-line is absent, and our words didn’t always come out as expected. Liu stated on Twitter that the current release is still a beta and that he’ll be sprucing it up soon; in the meantime, let us know how your swipe-typing goes in the comments if you choose to install it.

- Verizon: unlimited 3G customers can upgrade to 4G, keep data pack and grab $30 tethering
GoodGreat news for those who managed to snag one of Verizon Wireless’ unlimited data plans before they took off into the night earlier this week: if you’re rocking a 3G smartphone, you can eventually upgrade to an LTE handset, keep the unlimited plan, and have access to a $30 / month 4G tethering plan. That’s according to VZW’s official Support account on Twitter, and it’s decidedly lovely news for those who were concerned that they’d be locked into EV-DO forever. So, anyone had any luck taking Big Red up on its offer?Verizon: unlimited 3G customers can upgrade to 4G, keep data pack and grab $30 tethering originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:49:00 EDT.

- BlackBerry PlayBook gets arrested, finds itself toggling light bars in a police car (video)
Look, there’s no question that Canada looks out for its own, but if you reckoned that it also let everything slide… well, think again. One D&R Electronics has apparently thrown a BlackBerry PlayBook into a Canadian Dodge Charger, signified by a red maple leaf and the oh-so-distinct use of the word “ayeouuut.” Put simply, the 7-inch slate has been coded up to flip on the overhead / side lights, search police databases for names and faces, accept commands wirelessly from an in-car keyboard, and even be fully detachable for those times with mobility is of the utmost importance. You know, like playing Angry Birds while waiting in line to cross the border. Head on past the break to have a look, won’t you?
[Thanks, Dan]
