Helio's Ocean gets opened to third-party apps
Added on 2007-08-06 12:54:00
by Randall Bennett

While the iPhone might be getting all the attention, especially in hacker circles, one of our perennial non-touchscreen favs, the Ocean, is being opened to third party apps outside of the Helio garden.  A group of hackers say they've successfully installed Opera Mini 3 on the device, illiciting cheers from proper web-surfers around the Helio world. The fix isn't without it's quirks, as landscape mode and the QWERTY keyboard don't work properly, but regardless, the platform is now open-ish. Drift and Heat users, don't feel left out, as hackers say they've got your number too, but sorry Kickflippers.
