  You shouldn’t need to jailbreak your device to make PDQ work; 
  the app alone does the trick. (Whether Apple and other app 
  store operators will allow PDQ on their marketplaces is 
  separate matter.)

The author of this article, and more worryingly the developers running a Kickstarter campaign, seem to have an insufficient understanding of the technical criteria upon which Apple admits or rejects apps.

It's still cool for android and windows mobile though. It implies that the transfer speed is much faster than the existing options on those platforms.

"1GB in 10 seconds" is 819Mbps. This is snake oil territory. Even if they put the pedal to the metal on every single radio in the device simultaneously you can't push data that fast.

The numbers I see in the article are 100mb in under a minute. Where did you get your quote?

That's from their Kickstarter page.
