Review: XtremeMac’s Sportwrap for iPhone/iPod 2008-03-26 12:37:00 Now that the weather is warming up, I have decided to (reluctantly) put down the cheeseballs, and start exercising again. I haven’t really been running since last November and a lot has changed since then. First of all, I am ridiculously out of shape. But more importantly, and relevant to this article, is the fact that I have become so reliant on my iPhone
over the past few months that I gave my former “workout” iPod
to my kids to use. This generosity meant my iPhone was now going to have to serve as my workout jukebox of choice, and that meant I needed a new jogging armband designed to fit it.XtremeMac’s Sportwrap for iPhone and iPod is a well-designed, comfortable, and extremely versatile armband carrier that can actually hold not only the iPhone and the iPod touch, but also the
See tomorrow’s cellphones today through the eyes of Pantech 2008-03-26 11:55:00 Korean mobile phone manufacturer Pantech
recently organized a contest in which students from Korean Universities were asked to create design concepts for cellphones that can be made available by 2010. And in its conclusion, five dazzling mobile phone concept designs were released. Pictured here is the Cell Dot cellphone design, featuring a very minimalist overall look and feel, plus it’s seriously slim. Other designs include the Tower Lily, Wavy Stream, Waterfall Fish, and Simplice Section.With the way things are working right now, it’s a little hard to believe that phones just like this one will be available in just two short years. Well, although I’m certainly up for something like this, at this point in time I just don’t see where a device like this would be coming from. But the Read more:tomorrow
Vodafone 'looking into' 3G femtocells 2008-03-25 13:37:00 Wireless carrier Vodafone
Group is testing femtocell technology, which uses mini base stations in homes and small offices to improve indoor 3G coverage.The larger version of this concept is the picocell, which is already an established technology for ensuring 2G/GSM coverage in corporate settings. Femtocells, however, are designed to improve 3G mobile-broadband coverage by rerouting data use off the operators' cellular networks and onto wired DSL connections where possible. As mobile-Internet usage grows in popularity, such an approach has great appeal for operators worrying about the strain on their 3G network capacity.An article in The (London) Times on Thursday claimed that Vodafone was "considering products from (femtocell) suppliers such as Ubiquisys." Speaking to ZDNet UK on Friday,

Nokia E90 gets some sparkle, feels a little uncomfortable about the whole thing 2008-03-25 11:59:00 We're used to seeing fashion-centric devices bedecked in jewels all the time, but the E90 is pretty much exclusively the domain of the business set, and we're having a hard time imagining Joe Stock Broker going, like, totally crazy over this pimped version. The Nokia
phone has been set with 408 diamonds and an 18 carat white gold shell by Peter Aloisson and retails for around $80k. Yeah, Joe Stocks is really going to flip. We have nothing more to add, other than our traditional, time-worn plea to Nokia: please release a 3G version of this in the States, we swear it's not too late.

First downloadable application for iPhone OS 1.2 “Aspen” 2008-03-25 11:48:00 Jonathan Zdziarski has made available the first publicly available application for iPhone
OS 1.2, a port of his popular NES emulator. The application, for which source code is available, can be built in Xcode and run on iPhone 1.2 devices. Currently iPhone OS 1.2 is only in the hands of developers accepted to Apple’s iPhone Developer Program and holders of leaked copies.The NES emulator uses modified headers to build applications harnessing the full breadth of lower-level iPhone objects rather than the restrictive subset offered by Apple’s official software development kit. Official third-party applications run in a sandbox that limits their access to system components and places restrictions on background operation. They make use of a set of APIs overlaid upon the lower-level APIs, wh Read more:First

UBS: Next-generation iPhone to use 3G Infineon chipset in mid-2008 2008-03-25 07:00:00 next-generation iPhone
is a-coming? According to a note from UBS global equity research analyst Nicolas Gaudois, Apple has tapped German chip-maker Infineon
to outfit the guts of the next-gen 3G iPhone. The chipset
, which includes a digital baseband controller, power management unit (PMU), and radio frequency (RF) module, will finally bring a 3G HSDPA-enabled iPhone to market - bringing faster data speeds to the web-surfing iPhone-masses.More encouraging than the confirmation that Infineon will be providing the 3G hardware for the 3G iPhone is the expectation that the next-generation of iPhone could be upon us quite soon. Gaudois said that, "Consistent with these checks, our Apple analyst Ben Reitzes believes that 3G iPhones will be released by mid-year." That belief is in line with CNBC's

Vodafone nixes Windows Mobile 920 handset 2008-03-23 00:54:00 Not that we were all that excited for Vodafone
to launch their WindowsMobile
slider from HTC (HTC Kii?), but we thought a few of you out there might want to know that the Vodafone 920 has been pulled from Vodafone's lineup.Vodafone gave no reason for killing the Vodafone 920, but we're figuring it might have something to do with certification tests or maybe some conflicting product offerings. Whatever the reason, we hope you weren't planning on grabbing a Vodafone 920 for yourself, you'll just have to make do with another HTC-based Windows Mobile
device.Take a look at the T-Mobile Shadow, it's fairly similar to the Vodafone 920 - all may not be lost (of course, the two are offered in different markets, so we'll leave the importing up tot you).Come to think of it, Vodafone may have done yo

The O2 XDA Stealth Mobile Phone 2008-03-22 07:32:00 The O2 XDA Stealth : ReviewThe O2 XDA Stealth offers another option for those who want a Windows Mobile
/ pocket pc phone. So far Windows Mobile phones had either a sliding QWERTY keyboard (HTC TyTN, i-mate k-JAM, i-mate JasJar etc), or a QWERTY keyboard on the front (HP IPAQ hw6515, hw6915, Motorola Moto Q, UBIQUIO 501 etc), or no physical keyboard at all (i-mate JAM,i-mate JAMin, O2 Atom etc). The O2 XDA Stealth was made for those who like the “traditional” phone design with the sliding number keypad but powered with Windows Mobile 5.0. The device does not offer any special connectivity options like 3G or built in GPS but it does have built-in Wi-FI and Bluetooth. The physical dimensions of O2 XDA Stealth can be compared with most Nokia and Sony Ericsson models and thus making the de

O2 XDA Atom Life (3G & HSDPA) 2008-03-22 06:49:00 While the main focus of new phones recently released by O2 were designed for those requiring email and other business oriented applications on the go, one model with a slightly different disposition is the XDA Atom Life. More of a portable multimedia handset, the Atom Life boasts a fast Intel XScale PXA 270 processor that runs at a staggering clock speed of 624MHz.

O2 Xda Atom Mobile Phone 2008-03-22 06:20:00 DesignAt first, visually speaking,The O2 Xda Atom is hard to obviously tell the two apart, save for the obvious switch from a silver style scheme to an all-black one. The Atom is marginally smaller than the Xda II Mini at 102 x 58 x 18.5mm versus the Mini's 108 x 58 x 18.1mm, but that's more of a paper measurement -- we'd challenge anyone picking up both phones to intuitively feel the size difference without putting them side to side.Physical features are pretty much as per O2's standard take on smartphones, which means that you've got a small five way selector at the base of the phone, surrounded by call accept and decline buttons and dedicated buttons for the program Start function and the integrated O2 Media Plus application. The small stylus slots neatly into the top right of the phone Read more:Mobile
O2 Xda Atom Exec Mobile Phone 2008-03-22 06:14:00 This pocket-sized fusion of phone and PDA has enough features to satisfy both general and business consumers, but a premium pricetag places it squarely in the corporate camp.O2 says that mobile email is this model's key feature, using Direct Push technology for wirelessly downloading email, contacts, appointments and tasks from a Microsoft Exchange mail server.You can also set up POP email accounts, with the email client automatically supplying settings for services such as Hotmail and Gmail.The Messaging program doesn't have the same richness of functions as the desktop version of Outlook, but there is enough there to keep most users happy, such as extensive attachment support, the ability to use multiple email accounts and basic functions such as signatures and priorities.Frequent email Read more:Mobile
O2 X7 Overview 2008-03-22 05:52:00 The triband GSM X7 from O2 was announced along with the XDA. It will allow its user to roam the world since it works with all GSM frequencies (GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900). The slider design is not new yet it comes with its own advantages such as taking up less space to store and of course, some feel the design much more appealing then the standard candy bar. The X7 weighs just 83 grams yet comes with a large display (128 x 160 pixels size) which is TFT and can show 256,000 colors. The keys have been arranged in the traditional manner, nothing new here.

The new devices are branded with Vodafone logo and are manufactured by the Chinese ZTE Corporation.The idea behind this Vodafone's move is to "mobilize people" in developing countries where the cost of purchasing a mobile handset can be one of the key barriers to accessing mobile services. You shouldn't expect much of the features here — only the basic phone functionality, competitively priced. According to Vodafone, new phones will retail at around $25-$45 depending on the specific model and the local market conditions. Vodafone Egypt, Vodafone Romania and Vodacom (South Africa) will be the first countries to launch the Vodafone 125 and 225 handsets in the next few weeks.

Blocked Calls: Adobe Building Flash Support for iPhone? For Real this Time. Honest. We Swear. Cross Our Hearts 2008-03-29 13:38:00 The Flash
drama continues, with more twists and turns than a California highway. It looks as though iPhone
may be getting native Flash support after all, if dragged kicking and screaming. Adobe
CEO Shantanu Narayen spoke to reporters during a conference call… “Well, you really believe that Flash is synonymous with the Internet, and frankly, anybody who wants to browse the Web and experience the Web’s glory really needs Flash support.We were very excited about the announcement from Windows Mobile–adoption of Flash on their devices–and the fact that we’ve shipped 0.5 billion devices now, non-PC devices.

iPhone SDK: now with 100% more Interface Builder 2008-03-29 13:19:00 At the special event earlier this month where Apple laid out the future of developing software for the iPhone
, the company said that it would be providing the full suite of its existing development tools, such as Xcode, for creating iPhone applications. However, in the first version of the SDK that was rolled out, there was one notable omission from that lineup: InterfaceBuilder
, the application that lets developers easily design the UI of their program.Given the importance of UI on the Mac, Interface Builder is a pretty critical tool in the development process, and some developers had chosen to hold off on their efforts until the SDK was revised. Which, as you might have guessed, was today. A new version of the SDK—build 9A2151 for the alphanumerically curious among you—has been pos
Review: PDO TopSkin for iPhone 2008-03-29 13:11:00 Silicone skins to the left of us, silicone skins to the right of us! They’re everywhere we turn nowadays. Like many of them, PDO’s $20 TopSkin for iPhone
(3 mice) provides lightweight protection for your handset without hampering your use of its features and controls.Available in four colors (black, blue, white, and hot pink), the PDO Top Skin has the requisite openings for the iPhone’s screen, Ring/Silent switch, microphone, speaker, and earphone. Every other control is covered with silicone, though in the case of the dock-connector port and headphone jack, the material is in the form of cut-out flaps that you can pull back to get at the ports. Both the volume controls and Sleep/Wake switch, however, have rubber nubs that indicate where the controls are and let you operate them thro
