The iPhone has finally succumbed to the hacking efforts of Independent Security Evaluators – but not in the good way that would leave us with an unlocked iPhone. We wish we could kick off the new week with news that the iPhone’s GSM radio has finally been cracked to work on non-AT&T networks. Instead we’re…

Heart Imaging Technologies announces medical images delivered to Apple iPhone
The Apple iPhone has a place close to our hearts. In fact, with Heart Imaging Technologies’ (HeartIT) latest announcement, the iPhone has a place for our hearts – medical images of our hearts, that is. Until now, “viewing medical images traditionally requires dedicated workstations costing tens of thousands of dollars, which in turn are connected…
Qualcomm dealt another blow in ITC import ban case – court denies Qualcomm’s request to delay ban
Qualcomm just doesn’t seem to be able to catch a break these days. We can’t say we’re sorry for the company – afterall, it’s their (and Broadcom‘s) juvenile negotiation tactics that got them into this whole mess. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied Qualcomm’s appeal for a delay of the International…
Customize your iPhone’s background image!
The iPhone’s beautifully glass-encased bright LCD screen is perfectly suited for displaying your favorite pictures and videos. It’s a bit disappointing that you can’t take advantage of said screen with a wallpaper that does more than just show itself while the device is locked – behind the homescreen icons, to be specific. Alas, Apple hasn’t…
Duke University: Cisco wireless access points crashed our network, not Apple iPhones; iPhones cleared of all charges
So, it turns out that Duke University’s network woes were not caused by aggressive iPhone MAC address requests. Apparently, the insistent network requests were caused by a Cisco access point bug. Cisco released a statement saying that they had “worked closely with Duke and Apple to identify the source of this problem, which was caused…
EU supports DVB-H mobile broadcasting standard
Recently, the European Commission announced the full support for the DVB-H mobile broadcasting standard. It’s a good news especially for Nokia, who invested heavily in this technology and already got in place two DVB-H enabled handsets – N92 and N77. Most other phone and handheld companies are on board, too: Motorola, Philips, Sagem, Sony, Ericsson,…
Latest Nokia N73 firmware enables A2DP!
After seeing this thread over on Howard Forums I went ahead a did a little research. People in Nokia’s official forum confirmed the details too. If you have a Nokia N73 and want A2DP, just update to the latest firmware!
Gameloft announces Real Rugby; Promises realistic rugger simulation
I do agree with PocketGamer‘s Stuart Dredge when he says rugby is a hard sport to turn into a mobile game. Gameloft apparently doesn’t think so, and just recently they’ve announced their new rugby simulation game, called “Real Rugby.” However, I was bit surprised with their expectations. It’s hard to imagine playing rugby on a…
Sony Ericsson W650, W990i concepts
Over at Esato forums, Alexandra posted two Sony Ericsson concept phones. As you’ll see from the following images, she clearly likes the idea of slim handsets. Both W650 and W990i are thin and somehow similar to the existing Sony Ericsson W880i phone — except that these concept have totally different keypads. In terms of specs…
AT&T backs FCC Chairman Martin’s open access position on 700Mhz spectrum
We might just have to re-evaluate our position on AT&T as a stuffy, old corporate wireless carrier. Just as we started to think that AT&T didn’t care about their customers’ best interests, they go and do something like this. Last Thursday, the leading US wireless carrier completely flip-flopped on their initial position on FCC Chairman…
