New iPhone ads highlight benefits rather than features
Apple have prepared three new iPhone ads in which, instead of highlighting the iPhone’s features, they went for benefits. Three guys (Doug, Elliot and Stephano), three stories and three completely different uses. Not that this couldn’t be done with some other smartphone, it’s just that Apple is the best when it comes to marketing and…
iPhone dipped in 24 carat gold
Here’s one iPhone that will NOT see its price going down for some time. Yeah, the hardware may be old within a year, but its glossy cover is built to last. In case you haven’t figured out, we’re talking about gold iPhone. As a matter of fact it’s dipped in 24 carat gold and it’s…

Apple to open iPhone to 3rd party developers with release of Leopard?
There are rumors going around the web that the totally irrelevant release of Leopard might also give way to the iPhone being opened up to 3rd-party developers for new applications.

While this rumor is at early stages, somehow it does make sense for Apple to use an additional channel beside the carrier’s stores for iPhone’s distribution.

Density equals mass over volume and what makes your device feel like a premium product
I still remember the first time I picked up my Nokia E61i, I named it “The Hammer of Thor.” The device weighs 15o grams and has the following dimensions: 11.7 x 7 x 1.39 cm; that gives it a density of ~ 1.32 g/cc. Compare that with the Nokia N95, 120 grams and much chunkier…

What you just saw is apparently a blurry glimpse of the still unconfirmed Sony Ericsson P3i’s screen. We’re not sure from where this is coming, nor whether it’s real. However, we are sure that at some point the Swedish-Japanese company will release the successor to its P1i model. Hopefully, it will pack a better screen…
Ultra Mobile Broadband standards specifications get finalized
When we talk about high-speed wireless access on a CDMA network, we’re usually talking about EV-DO – most likely EV-DO Rev. A. Well, that’s all about to change – the EV-DO Revision C (known as Ultra Mobile Broadband) protocol’s specifications have just been finalized.
