Geek Porn: Video of the iPhone being torn apart and having each semiconductor identified

This is the kind of video I like to see, the level of technical details to digest is definitely drool worthy. All those other people who took apart an iPhone failed to tell you what was actually inside, they did it just to show you that they know how to operate a camera, razer, screw driver and if need be a hammer.

Props to the bright minds at Semiconductor Insights.

Linux based Palm OS delayed until 2008

7 1 07 palmos Linux based Palm OS delayed until 2008At one point in my life I was a Palm (NSDQ: PALM) freak, but they didn’t handle the transition to smart phones gracefully enough for me and I choose to go with S60. I’ve been looking forward to Palm’s rebirth and I’m probably one of the few people excited about the Foleo, but todays announcement about a delay of the next version of the Palm OS let me down.

I hope they show off something exciting at 3GSM 2008.

Really slim phone concept

Slim phone concept - pic 1

You know the story – another day, another concept. Forget Samsung’s Ultra series — this time we’re presenting you with the true slim phone. Unfortunately, it’s just a concept, but knowing those crazy Koreans, it’s not unimaginable to see them announcing something similar. Anyway, the phone somehow resembles the Nokia 6300, but looks even better (not that the 6300 looks bad at all). There’s a huge screen, solid metal-plastic body and choice of different colors, like green, gray, black, blue etc. No specs though…

More photos after the jump.
