The site compiles Mobileradar rumours of the canvas that a real killer of aPhone and nokia n96 is profilasse on the horizon. [rumor / on] Well appointed 01 Phone, apparently a fan of binary have 32GB capacity, a 5-apn Mpx resolution, a laser projection keyboard, capacity Internet connection, a single earpiece button with a very long tortille wire and it would be a fan of Radiohead, like us, or music student linger, but assumed, in general.

[rumor / off] Judging by this single image, affublee a countdown timer showing still 26 days before our thirst can be etanchee, the gadget has good looks and if I fanboy, I would worry for my parish. Fortunately for my mental health, anything I want is exactly this kind of (telephone? Really?) Gadget to do everything everywhere and with stunning quality while my family with my keyboard thrown onto the table of the pub. We’ll see if it is still allowed to dream at the beginning of 2008, and if the screen is not touch, frankly, how important? I will leave fewer traces of fat on a screen before done everything to look and not touch.

All that is known in fact, -26 days, is that these rogues T3, with the complicity of the publisher Future France, who secretly preparing their number returned to the french are in the coup . Apparently. by the time they leave us a toaster with a 2-inch screen is not far, however.

The guys from OpenPeak hope to revive obsolete fixed lines in “borrowing” the whole concept of the iPhone and the repackageant into a kind of hub features for home.

Initially the system “OpenFrame” will include applications like a calendar, news, weather, etc… and it also serves as a digital photo frame and Internet radio. In addition, the idea is to allow developers to develop third-party applications. This will remind you there?

At random, the iPhone? Their aircraft will be sold through early 2009 operators such as Verizon and AT & T for prices between 200 and 300 $ (135 and 200 €). But in case, both push the concept in the end, dropping fixed lines and buy an iPhone, is not it?

An “updated firmware” is something you have to make a living. Something robust, and also any new everything beautiful. Yes, but now, some recent updates have been rather difficult. The latest firmware date is no longer a nice gift to download from a nice equipment manufacturer: On many handsets, install an updated firmware has even become a true course.

Many manufacturers such as Apple, Nintendo or Sony make updates firmware that neutralize features for commercial reasons or out of baclees versions that make products less efficient. And if we did a small review of updates that were not particularly pleased the owners gadgets lately? The Sony PSP: an important and dynamic community has emerged around the Sony PSP, offering alternative firmwares with new features such as support for a greater range of codecs or the ability to share music. Oh, and, um, there is also this little story pirated games en masse.

Sony has released several updates-no fewer than six in 2006 and 2007 - cutting the grass under the feet of young thieves, but it has collateral effect of discouraging more creative and less pirateurs the homebrew community. This has led some users to want downgrader or find a firmware earlier. Sony then made it more difficult downgrade, the case turning the small guéguerre with its own customers. Intention to harm: High. This is a deliberate attempt to resume the hand of an exclusive.

This is not the first time we see a cell phone charger powered by kinetic energy, but one who works M2E can produce 300 to 700% more juice than existing technologies. They hope to derive a system capable of simply replacing the batteries phone. According earth2tech, the purpose of M2E short term is to produce a charger that can produce an hour of talk time from six hours of movements.

M2E is currently in talks with several accessory manufacturers to put a device on the market from 2009.

We now know that Apple can make apps disappear without any trace (or explanation) ’s App Store. But Jonathan Zdziarsi, the author of the book iPhone Forensics, says that Apple can also disable remote applications installed on your iPhone.

Apparently there is a blacklist of URLs in the operating system of the iPhone which, according to Jonathan “suggests that the iPhone calls at home from time to time to see what applications it must neutralize. He explains that he found lurking in a configuration file at the bottom of CoreLocation” by conducting an autopsy of the iPhone 3G. It seems it is intended to disable malicious applications, not those that Apple does not and could have withdrawn from the App Store.

After all, no application has appeared in the list at the time, that small curious who viewed the URL (I have the names of leaders) have found themselves. In addition NetShare, the application withdrawn Store remains functional on all phones on which we have installed, even after a synchronization.

But the phone invade someone is very different from simple withdrawal of an application for their virtual store. If Apple were to use this unique power, they should explain it. The usual silence is not sufficient.

This seems obvious: when drivers have both hands on the wheel, they run less risk of having an accident. That is why more and more countries prohibit the use of portable hand at the wheel, Bluetooth headset or hands-free kit is most often tolerated or permitted.

However, some studies suggest that call with a headset would be as dangerous as driving drunk. And even if the subject is controversial, it is reasonable to assume that one is necessarily distracted in his conduct when phone while driving. So, in your opinion, should be purely and simply prohibit the phone while driving?
