Windows Phone 7 devices are getting more affordable with now Celcom offering the LG Optimus 7 from as low as RM668. This is a big reduction which is lower than its initial RM777 offer for the first 150 units a few months ago.

Outright the device is priced at RM2099 and Celcom offers 4 different plan options with 12 months and 18 months contract duration. The RM668 bundle offer is tied on a 18 months contract with Celcom Exec 250 which comes with 5GB mobile data. For those who want smaller commitments, there are other lower commitment plans between RM78-RM118/month.

Just a few days ago, Maxis had reduced their HTC HD7 bundled pricing to as low as RM799 which is tied to a 24 months contract. Now we’re wondering if DiGi drop their WP7 pricing as well.

For more info, head over to Celcom’s Windows Phone 7 site.

Apple announced a major software update for iDevices last week, iOS 5. The new firmware will introduce over 200 new features in iOS 5, and is expected to seriously impact the jailbreak community.

But jailbreakers haven’t skipped a beat since the beta version of iOS 5 rolled out last Monday. Within 24 hours of the release, jailbreak software was updated to support the new firmware. Now you can add Sn0wbreeze to that list of iOS 5 compatible tools…

As with the RedSn0w update, the Sn0wbreeze jailbreak for iOS 5 beta is only available in tethered form. This means you’ll need to be by a computer during reboots, as you’ll essentially have to re-jailbreak each time the device restarts.

This shouldn’t be too big of deal for the time being though, since the only ones who are supposed to have copies of iOS 5 are developers (and even they’re not really supposed to be using it on their main device).

But nevertheless, folks who are running the beta and are looking for a way to jailbreak it, check out Sn0wbreeze. The easy to use software works with all iOS 5 compatible devices, except the iPad 2 of course, and enables you to play with new tweaks like UISettings.

Sn0wbreeze 2.8b1 is for Windows only and can be downloaded here.

RIM issued a press release to announce the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook in 16 countries within the next 30 days.

Neighbours Singapore and Indonesia are among the 16 countries listed. But, sadly, Malaysia not in the list.
At last count, Malaysia has as many BlackBerry users as Indonesia, both with around 1 million users. We’re wondering why the discrimination? Surely local PlayBook hopefuls are bitterly disappointed by this news.

Anyways, listed below is the full 16 countries getting the PlayBook in the next 30 days.

UK
Spain
France
Netherlands
Germany
Italy
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
UAE
India
Hong Kong
Singapore
Indonesia
Australia
