Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Okay, they might not actually be ninjas, but if you’re firing a 1,000-foot line across an international border (which just so happens to be a river) with a slingshot, and using it to zip-line $46,500-worth of iPhone 4 and iPad 2 devices, I think you at least get honourary ninja status. The elaborate scheme was…
According to The New York Times there’s this guy, Joseph Holmes, who is an award winning photographer. One of his recent projects involved touring the streets of New York City and pointing his lens at people ferociously focused on their mobile devices. He calls his 20 photo Flickr set “Texters”. Now it isn’t up to…
It wouldn’t be the craziest thing someone has done to get something from Apple. On a popular Chinese microblogging service called Weibo, a girl from Guandong recently offered up her virginity for an iPhone 4 because her dad wouldn’t get her one. Either the status message was a joke and their sense of humour is…
With all the serious news, rumors, and announcements going around the web these days, it’s always nice to see things like this. A new comic strip was posted by the guys at The Oatmeal, and included in a long list of thoughts about smartphones, one cartoon is of a usual conversation between a person that…
As it turns out, tacky musical numbers relating to smartphones can be used to defame brands just as much as promote them. British rapper GT Solo has recently published a song called “BB is Dead”, which rags on the BlackBerry’s camera, GPS, internet browsing, app selection, and obsession with BBM.

Sometimes an accessory catches me off guard. You know, it punches you in the face with something so unusual that there really are no words to describe it. That said… with this one, I’ll give it a try. New from the folks at society6 comes a Star Wars inspired case for your iPhone 4, 3GS…
Have you ever been tempted to take a nibble of your iPhone case? No, not even a little bite? I haven’t either. That’s why, when I came across the edible gummy iPhone cases over at ThinkGeek… I was left scratching my head. Filed under ‘why the *#@! would someone make that?’, these edible cases from…
Tired of waiting for the white iPhone 4? If you are, you may want to lay your head down for a little nap… on your very own iPhone 4 pillow! New (I think) from the folks at iCushions comes the iPhone 4 cushion. This plush product is a reproduction of the look and feel of…
It’s prank time… time to revisit one April Fools’ joke that caught my attention this year. During a newscast on April 1st, Raoul Martinez of Fox 5 in San Diego managed to pull the wool over the eyes of co-anchor Shally Zomorodi in an unusual way. While describing a new app called ‘Virtual Sip’ that…
While doing some random iPhone 4 accessory shopping this morning, I came across a couple of real gems from… you guessed it… Etsy. The decals I stumbled upon are for the retro gamers out there, and they’re guaranteed to turn a few heads. The first decal reproduces the look of the original NES controller. The…
