With the fourth of July just a couple of days away, gamers and fans are no doubt getting ready for the upcoming festivities. Ubisoft thought this to be a great opportunity for the release of a brand new trailer and some major announcements for Assassin’s Creed 3.
The trailer is titled Fourth of July and starts off with a child singing Amazing Grace in the background as colonists get blown away by British soldiers. The naval warfare mission shown at Sony’s E3 conference this year is included here as well. Over all the Independence trailer is mostly the assembly of trailer clips that have been on the web before.
The release of the trailer was bundled with details of the limited edition version of the game for North America. For the PS3 and Xbox 360 the Limited Edition will set you back $119.99 and will include the following:
Bad news for PC gamers would be that the consoles get exclusivity for the Limited Editions. The PC version of the game however, will get a Digital Deluxe Edition which will be retailing at $64.99. This edition will include the following:
PC gamers shouldn’t be that down since the official press release maintains that Assassin’s Creed 3 will definitely arrive on Windows at the same time as of the consoles. It was previously rumored that the PC version of the game might suffer a delay.
Assassin’s Creed 3 releases later this year for the PS3, Xbox 360 and hopefully the PC on October 30th.
Skype starting bringing video calling to Android phones this June and has been working hard ever since to add as many devices to the compatibility list as they can. Skype 2.1 does just that.
A total of 17 more phones have been added to the compatibility list, these include: HTC Desire, LG Revolution, Samsung Droid Charge and the mighty Galaxy S II. If your phone is running Froyo you will need to turn on video calling from the Skype app’s settings which will allow the back camera to work, do note the front facing camera won’t work but it might be enabled in future updates.
Skype 2.1 also brings along bug fixes and performance improvements. The download link is at the source below, if you have already had the application installed just open up the Android market and install the update.

The iPad 3G has reportedly been hacked by the guys over at iPhoneIslam to enable full Phone and SMS funtionality. This hack requires no additional hardware as the iPad already has a 3G modem and you’ll perform every cellular operation that you would perform on an iPhone. Â The video of the hack in action after the break.
[box] A hack that will change the game. Can you imagine turning your iPad to a fully functional phone. With No Special Hardware all what you need is Jailbroken iPad 3G and your iPad 3G will do anything you expect from iPhone… Phone Calls, SMS, FaceTime by Phone Number… ETC[/box]
It is not yet confirmed if the video is fake or real but it is highly unlikely that this would be just a publicity stunt as iPhoneIslam has a good reputation in the jailbreaking commmunity and they’re the same guys who were behind FaceIt-3GS, a hack that enables FaceTime video calling on an iPhone 3GS. iPhoneIslam hasn’t given a released date but says PhoneItiPad will be available on the Cydia Store “very soon,†and before WWDC.
