Fantastic; I Am Rich Video Walkthrough

You remember the I Am Rich application, right? Of course you do, it’s the one we told you about last week. As horribly lame as it was, it ended up teaching us quite a bit. No, seriously. First of all, it taught us that Apple will seemingly approve any app out there so that it [...]

Live video of HTC’s “Dream” Android phone?

Yeah, it’s not the highest quality video we’ve ever seen, but if you can look past the blurriness and Darth Vader breathing noises you might be pleasantly surprised. Thanks to an eagle-eyed tipster, we’ve some video footage of what might be the HTC Dream. The world’s first Android handset is in fine form here, sporting [...]

iPhone game developer? $10,000 - $25,000 sound good?

Instead of hunting down people left and right, we figured why not post this here… We’re looking to create an OpenGL-based multi-level iPhone game which will make full use of the accelerometer. We’re talking heavy 3D graphics, a lot of OpenAL audio, and some other stuff. Think you’ve got what it takes? We’d love to [...]

Nokia Email Growing Up, Enters Beta Labs Tomorrow

Readers who own an S60 handset from Nokia may or may not have heard of an application that Nokia has has done a fairly good job of keeping relatively hush. One of the biggest complaints S60 users have in general is the lackluster email client and less-than-reliable performance that comes along with it. There are [...]

SlingMedia releases SlingPlayer 2.0 for Windows, integrated TV Guide and other goodies

Always count on Sling to be cooking up a new batch of software right? This time around, it’s for Windows. SlingPlayer users can now grab the latest 2.0 update which adds support for a built-in programming guide, a live video buffer which basically works like a software DVR letting you pause, rewind, or fast-forward up [...]

Nokia Finally Comes Around, Tri-band 3G N85 Gets FCC Approval

While everyone sits around waiting for the ever-delayed Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touchscreen S60 device that Nokia will issue, it looks like another first will be coming from Nokia long ahead of the Tube. Say hello to the Nokia N85. But wait, we’ve seen the N85 before so what’s the big deal? As we [...]

Mobbler Gets “THE” Update; Last.fm Streaming Support for S60

S60 users: If you happen to see developer Michael Coffey walking down the street, stop him and buy him a drink. For years now, Symbian smartphone users have wondered why they couldn’t feel the Last.fm love. Windows mobile has a streaming client, the iPhone had MobileScrobbler (and now an official Last.fm app) within a few [...]

And the Award for Lamest iPhone App Goes to…

Are you an iPhone developer who wants to make some serious cash? Write an app that identifies people who have purchased “I Am Rich” and then integrate with Google Maps to display their exact locations*. Developer Armin Heinrich (and we hesitate to call him a “developer”) has made his mark on Apple App Store history [...]

iPhone 2.0.1 software released

We’re downloading it now, but woweee, it’s 250MB! Anyone care to comment? Even with all the languages included the biggest build we’ve ever seen was around 210MB…
Post will be updated
Ok, so far we’ve found 2.0.1 to be extremely more stable. This includes fixing the keyboard lag some users experienced, a speedier OS in general, and [...]

Skyfire brings full browsing experience to mobile phones everywhere

Skyfire has just launched their new mobile browser client, and if early reports from the beta are any indication, the company has a real contender on their hands. The Skyfire Browser aims to bring a desktop-like experience to your handset. In addition to providing scaling, zoom, and reformatting duties, Skyfire’s real claim to fame is [...]

Best. iPhone. Application. Ever.

Everyone’s talking about NetShare, a new application that just hit the App Store but was subsequently pulled very shortly after. It created a Wi-Fi hotspot on the iPhone, allowing your computer or other devices to use that oh-so-precious 3G connect without AT&T’s approval. But, I’d like to put you on to what possibly could be [...]

Google Maps Gets Transit Directions on S60 and Windows Mobile

Google is definitely putting some solid work into its Mobile mapping application these days. We have a feeling it will eventually come to a point where Google makes paid navigation services obsolete (especially subscription services such as Nokia Maps) and it will likely be sooner rather than later. We can’t imagine a better native navigation [...]

WiiBrain planning new connectivity-rich I1 UMPC

It’s no secret that we’re not exactly in love with WiiBrain’s design ethos. The company has a knack for designing and releasing products that would look more at home as a Fed-Ex inventory scanner than they do on your desk. That said, we always get pretty excited when we hear about a new feature-laden ultra [...]
