Digital Lifestyle Outiftters, otherwise known as DLO, recently launched their Portable Speaker for iPhone and we’ve been lucky enough to score one for ourselves. The DLO Portable Speaker for iPhone is exactly what you’d expect it to be – it’s portable, it’s a speaker-dock system, and it’s made for the iPhone. The iPhone’s built-in speakers…
Motorola CEO Greg Brown seeking out new executive to lead handset division
Well, it looks like Motorola CEO Greg Brown is getting a bit tired (or overwhelmed) with the responsibility of leading Moto’s handset division. In a “chat” at the Morgan Stanley Technology Conference in Dana Point, California, Brown stated that he’s spending about 80% of his time in his search for a new executive to head…
Meizu M8 miniOne finally caught in the wild – sort of
Ahh, the almost mythical Chinese rip-off of the iPhone. We’ve been seeing prototype mock-ups and renderings of the Meizu M8 miniOne ever since the iPhone launched, but we’ve yet to get our hands on one. The problem? There just isn’t a finished version of the Meizu M8 iPhone clone in the wild. The closest we’ve…
Use any size MP3 file as a ringtone on your Samsung BlackJack II
There’s seems to be no end to the hacks and registry edits that are coming out for the Samsung BlackJack II. Sure, it’s a great smartphone, but there may be other WinMo handsets out there feeling a little left in the cold. No matter. If you already have a Samsung BlackJack II in your pocket,…
The lightweight battery gauge – VistaHide Battery Gauge for Windows Mobile
We’ve seen more freeware Windows Mobile battery meter applications than candid shots of Britney Spears’ baby-maker. They’re a dime a dozen – and there’re a lot of freeware battery meters too. But, we came across this VistaHide Battery Gauge from our friends at jkOnTheRun and it’s the first time that a freeware battery gauge application…
Australian cops rake in more than $5 million from cellphone driving citations in Victoria
Those Aussies sure are serious about protecting motorists from the dangers of distracted drivers using their cellphones while driving. The Australian state of Victoria garnered about $5,800,000 ($5,400,000 USD) in fines associated with citations issued to those using their mobile phones on the road. The additional revenue comes courtesy of approximately 40,000 drivers that failed…
Steve Wozniak: battery life is cop-out for 3G on iPhone
Why didn’t Apple include 3G on their current-generation iPhone? Obviously because the 3G radio would sap battery power like it was water – Apple said it, so it must be true. Right? Actually, I’ve thought about this a good deal and I’ve come up with my own conspiracy theory as to why Apple didn’t bring…
What happens to the iPhone stopwatch after 1000 hours?
Well, the world ends. Planes crash, computers fail, people starve, it’s the apocalypse. Seriously, we don’t know how this kid came up with the idea to run the iPhone’s stopwatch for 1000 hours (whether he did so legitimately or just started the stopwatch and changed the date/time in iPhone preferences is debatable), but it’s interesting…
How safe does your cellphone make you feel?
I came across these research studies that seems to indicate that people feel more secure and safe when they have their mobile phone with them. Apparently, the added sense of security (presumably as a sort of connection to friends and family) that a cellphone provides actually emboldens college students to make riskier decisions – like…
O2 Ireland: iPhone and iPhone plans are expensive, but worth it
Sure, the iPhone is expensive, everyone knows that. I actually paid a significant premium to be one of the first few iPhone adopters, and I’m sure there are a lot of people in Ireland that will be just as eager to own an iPhone. However, the problem with the iPhone plans on O2 Ireland are…
