    PSP phone mod is really exactly what we were waiting forby Paul Miller, posted Aug 8th 2008 at 9:24AM Call it off Sony, no need to throw any precious man hours into making your perennially #2 handheld into some sort of amazing featurephone hybrid, some hacker has already done it for you. Through the amazing wonders of modern thinphone technology, soldering irons and probably a bit of glue, some hacker has managed the slap a Haier touchscreen phone onto the back of his PSP -- killing the UMD driv...

    Want something other than a run-of-the-mill mouse? Two pointing-device vendors have introduced offbeat new cursor controllers.
    The Joy Ergonomic Mouse from Stealth Electronics ($39) is a vertical ergonomic design that fits your right hand like a handshake, keeping your arm and wrist resting naturally on their sides instead of being tensed or stressed by lying horizontally. Left and right mouse buttons and a scroll button fall naturally under the fingers as your hand maintains a t...

    Your iPhone probably isn't calling home, just might not want you up in its Core Locationby Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 8th 2008 at 9:03AM It appears we can all breathe a big sigh of relief when it comes to our iPhone apps. According to John Gruber (Daring Fireball), that suspicious looking URL discovered in the firmware 2.x which appeared to be set to deactivate applications may be something slightly more innocuous. According to Gruber -- via "an informed source at Apple" -- the "clbl" in the af...

    Speaking at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, security researcher Dan Kaminsky warned that a critical vulnerability in the internet’s worldwide DNS (Domain Name System) infrastructure is worse than initially thought.
    Kaminsky initially came forward early last month to disclose the existence of a critical security bug in most of the world’s DNS servers. The bug allows hackers to silently redirect web surfers to an alternate, possibly malicious, w...

    Apple working on streaming your iTunes library to your iPhone?by Nilay Patel, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 6:36PM Apple's experimented with allowing iTunes to stream over the internet as well as your LAN in the past and quickly removed the feature (probably due to RIAA pressure), so we're not placing too much stock in this, but AppleInsider's unearthed a patent that seems to describe a way to stream music over the 'net to your iPhone / iPod touch. The goal is to prevent you from having to selectively ...

    REDFLY now available for $499, purpose even less clearby Nilay Patel, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 5:06PM Sure, we just saw the Celio REDFLY unboxed last month, but come on -- you know you really wanted one of the Foleo-like WinMo "companions" all to yourself, and now you can have one -- for $499. Yep, 5 bills to use WinMo 5 or 6 on an 8-inch screen -- and you can't use it at all if you don't have your phone. Or, you could spend your money on something 1000x more useful and get one of the million netb...

    Nokia N85 hits FCC in two flavors, one with just a touch of North American 3Gby Chris Ziegler, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 1:05PM We're still trying to figure out exactly how Nokia intends to position the N85 slider in its Nseries lineup, and frankly, the FCC documentation that's been outed for it isn't helping much. Seems there are two versions of the thing: one with no 3G -- likely for China -- and another with WCDMA on the 900, 1900, and 2100MHz frequencies. That little dose of 1900 in there will ...

    iPhone hacker says the device 'calls home' to Apple, allows apps to be remotely disabledby Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 10:07AM According to iPhone Atlas and iPhone hacker-extraordinaire Jonathan Zdziarski, Apple has readied a blacklisting system which allows the company to remotely disable applications on your device. Apparently, the new 2.x firmware contains a URL which points to a page containing a list of "unauthorized" apps -- a move which suggests that the device makes occasiona...

    HTC to ship one millionth Touch Diamond this monthby Darren Murph, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 8:30AM We know how much those suits love to hit wild targets they set without any real understanding of the future, so we're pretty sure at least one or two are getting the kudos of their life with this one. Earlier this year, HTC boldly predicted that it would move a staggering two million Touch Diamond handsets before 2009 dawned, and according to a new report, it'll ship the one millionth unit sometime n...

    Sony Ericsson depletes stash of product names, announces slim T700 phoneby Thomas Ricker, posted Aug 7th 2008 at 3:16AM Yippee, it's T700 day at Sony. First they launched the DSC-T700 digicam, now the T700 cellphone. The T700 candybar is mostly phone though with a smattering of camera just for kicks. We're talking quad-band GSM and UMTS/HSDPA 2100 with 4.5-hours of 3G talk and a 3.2 megapixel camera with cell-id geotagging and photo light. It measures just 10-mm thin with Bluetooth A2DP, stereo ...

With that date just a couple weeks away, things are starting to fall into place, although not all 20 are confirmed yet. Here's a quick breakdow...

    Seiko Epson's 500ppi 3D display for phones: how dense is dense enough?by Paul Miller, posted Aug 6th 2008 at 1:02PM Not that we're complaining, it's just that human eyes usually can't discern denser than 300ppi, and few interfaces are built to take advantage of... ah, who are we kidding? This is awesome. Seiko Epson has built a 2.57-inch 3D display for phones that runs at an astounding XGA resolution, and should be ready for commercial applications in two years. There's a special lenticular lens...
