Tab sync ready for primetime in latest Chrome desktop release
May 16th
One of the coolest features of Chrome for Android is the ability to call up tabs already open on your desktop installation of the browser and display them on your mobile device. Pretty convenient when you need to run out the door but find some downtime to finish reading a few articles you had started on your home PC. Or maybe you had an e-vite open but forgot to jot down the details. No problem, Chrome for Android has you covered.
The same functionality was introduced in beta form to the desktop version of Chrome last month, allowing users to conversely open tabs on their PC that were originally launched in the mobile version of the browser. The functionality is exiting beta and is available in the latest stable build of Chrome, which will be rolling out to users over the next few days. The actual tab sync feature will migrate to users over the next few weeks, so if you don’t see it at first it should be headed your way soon. To sync, just launch a new tab and select “Other devices” from the lower right hand corner. Pretty simple, but totally useful.

Upcoming Redsn0w Release to Allow Firmware Downgrades for New iPad and iPhone 4S
May 10th
Following Apple’s recent release of iOS 5.1.1, iOS hacker and iPhone Dev-Team leader MuscleNerd revealed through Twitter that an upcoming update to the redsn0w jailbreak utility will allow users to restore and downgrade all current iOS devices – including the iPhone 4S and the new iPad!
Upcoming redsn0w supports restoring, including iPad2/3 and 4S downgrades (with blobs)http://twitpic.com/9ixsqv ..also stitches on the fly
In order to downgrade, users mist save the SHSH blob for their device for the version of iOS that they’d like to download to (this can be done using TinyUmbrella for Mac or Windows), and devices cannot be downgraded to firmwares earlier than the version they shipped with.
The ability to downgrade to previous versions of iOS could be useful for jailbreaking your iOS device, or just to have as an option in case you encounter problems with an update.
There’s no word on when the new version of Redsn0w will be released, but as always, we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more!

All of the announcements make it appear that carriers are gearing for the slated summer launch of the device. Some are short and straight to the point while others give praise to the Samsung Device. So without any more hesitation hit the break below to check out each of the announcements made by the various Canadian Carriers.

So there it is. If you are in Canada you should be jumping for joy. While there isn’t confirmation as to when the device will be released exactly you can rest assured knowing that when it does, it will be coming to your favorite carrier or retailer. While the U.S. has an S III sign up page we have yet to see any official announcements made for our neck of the woods. Here’s hoping that it’ll be soon.
