We’re not sure if this qualifies as a rumor, but the “rice effect” has been circulating the internets with seeming authority from the Washington Post. If you are unfortunate enough to drop your precious electronic device in the toilet (stop using your phone on the toilet!) or sink, and you didn’t have the foresight to…

Sprint Announces Sanyo SCP-3200 Vision Phone – With Parental Control
Sprint has released the Sanyo SCP-3200 as the Sprint PCS Vision Phone SCP-3200. That’s a long name, but we guess Sprint wanted to get across the phone’s Sprint Vision capabilities from the get go. But, the real interesting thing about this phone is its Parental Control feature – allowing parents to keep their kids on…
Porsche P’9521 mobile phone will cost $1600!!
Porsche Design’s P’9521 caused a quite a bit of buzz when it was announced, and now it’s creating even more shock – at the price tag, that is. The aluminum and scratch-resistant mineral glass-clad designer phone features a fingerprint reader and a 3.2 megapixel camera. Granted, those are some pretty impressive specs, but a $1600…

Hilarious Apple iPhone advertising spoof – make sure your fingers are clean!
We found this hilarious video on Youtube, spoofing the Apple iPhone advertising featuring the “hand.” Everybody’s been so focused on how usable the touchscreen keyboard might be that no one has thought about how smudges will affect actual usage. Check out the hilarious video. You’ve probably seen it before, but not like this! Side note:…
Dude trashes his Nokia phone!
How many ways can you trash a mobile phone – let us count the ways. You can burn it, stone it, crush it, plier it (you get the idea), mouse-trap it, drive a nail through it (through the camera and the screen – that was painful to watch), staple it, hit it with a golf…
YouTube WILL be available on iPhone
Apple today announced that iPhone users will be able to watch the content from YouTube. YouTube is already available for mobile users, but our guess is that Apple will add its twist to it — just like they’ve did with Google Maps. Note that this doesn’t involve Flash video — iPhone will rather use YouTube’s…
The Fast and The Furious: Fugitive
Love racing games? Don’t change the channel – you’ve come to the right place! 🙂 During this year’s BREW 2007 conference, I-play has unleashed the fourth sequel of its racing franchise – The Fast and The Furious: Fugitive. As there is no fourth movie sequel, the story behind the Fugitive is the new one, and…
Palm working on Treo sans keyboard?
How about that – a Treo without a keyboard? Sounds weird if you ask me. Otherwise it wouldn’t be a Treo, which prides itself with a built-in QWERTY keyboard. On the other hand, with all the hype surrounding the touchy iPhone, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Palm announcing such device, especially after showcasing Foleo.…
