Because Cydia is the hub by which all jailbreakers go to install their wares, Saurik, the man behind the alternative app store, sent out some download numbers: 491,325 on iPhone 4S,  308,967 on iPad 2 and 152,940 on previously-Jailbroken iPad 2′s with iOS 4.

While many people think that the point of jailbreaking is to download illegal apps, there are so many other legitimate ways to take advantage of having root access to your iDevice. Apps like BiteSMS, Infinidock, Infinifolders, IntelliscreenX and SBSettings are just a few of the awesome ways to enhance your iOS experience.

A fantastic new photo and contact sharing app has popped up for Windows Phone, and it’s one of the most attractive and useful I’ve seen in recent memory. I always giving out my business card to people, but as often is the case I am without one when I need it most.

Square allows you to take advantage of some of Windows Phone’s most prominent and accessible features, namely pinning tiles to the home screen, by creating a special QR code specifically for yours, or another person’s contact information. It does this in a Metro-styled UI that reeks of class — all Windows Phone apps should look this good — and, though simple, does what it claims to extremely well.

You can share photos from your Camera Roll or contacts from your People hub, and once selected, the choice is rendered in a QR code that can be scanned by anyone with a barcode scanner, on any platform. The only pre-requisite is a data connection. Scanning a code with another phone running Square, or on any barcode scanner, will open the photo or VCard in a browser window.

While QR codes may not have taken off as much once thought, it’s still a very handy technology. Square simplifies the act of sharing pertinent contact information, and I can see myself using it a lot as a result.

Samsung has been laying it on pretty thick when it comes to the anti-Apple vernacular in its often-funny series of Galaxy S II ads. This one depicts the loyal Apple followers yet again waiting in line, this time camping out overnight as their phones run out of juice. The happy-go-lucky Galaxy S II user navigates to them using Google’s free turn-by-turn Navigation software, to which one of “jailed” iPhone users cries, “Oh, we just got Samsunged!”

The ad is tongue-in-cheek but speaks loudly to how Samsung is attempting to differentiate itself to the iFaithful crowd. Certainly Google’s free services, including turn-by-turn navigation, is a big draw for anyone choosing to buy an Android device, but the word Android is never uttered.

During the Q3 2011 conference call in October Page describer Google’s results as “Gangbusters”, but this time around he seemed to be more astonished, specifically to the growth of Android, saying that it’s now “mind boggling”. Page said “Android is quite simply mind boggling. 700,000 phones are lit up everyday and I’m please to announce 250 million Android devices in total, up 50 million from our last announcement in November. In just two days over the holiday weekend 3.7 million Androids were activated. And today, we’re announcing over 11 billion downloads from Android Market. Wow.”

Google crossed over the 10 billion app download mark on December 6th, thus celebrated by selling various apps for $0.10 each. Guess it paid off as 1 billion app downloads in a month is truly impressive. I recorded the call and here’s the audio…
