We’re not sure if this is meant to prove that texting on Samsung’s line of handsets is remarkably quick or if the ten individuals selected to text quickly whilst skydiving are just amazing multitaskers, but either way, the exercise has been executed. Samsung Mobile rounded up ten skydivers and equipped them with [...]
A new app is bringing functional, if fairly buggy, flash support to the iPhone and iPod touch. iMobileCinema is a 3rd party plugin for Mobile Safari, the iPhone and iPod touch’s web browser. The plugin lets you view flash-based videos from most services like YouTube within the browser. It’s only for jailbroken phones; you can [...]
Since Imagination Technologies revealed that Apple was their mysterious client, and that they are the ones making the chips for the iPhone and iPod touch, there has been a lot of speculation as to what it could possibly mean for the future of the iPhone and iPod touch.

Oh, come on. You knew something like this was bound to happen, didn’t you? What, you honestly thought my first week behind the wheel of this time-honored weekly feature wouldn’t be spent usurping its intended purpose, changing its focus from the evaluation of comedic gaming-centric comics to a weekly thought-provoking seminar [...]

It turns out that massive, floating, Andross-esque visage we affectionately dub Brain Age bastard Dr. Kawashima might have been onto something. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (via Reuters) conducted a study with 40 adults in their 60s and 70s, divided into two groups with one playing Rise of [...]

Until Apple pumps out the next-gen iPhone with integrated solar cells, we suppose Solar Arcadia’s solar-powered cases are your next best option. Available in both SideFlip and Leather Flip models, the cases not only offer relatively stout protection for your handset, but they also include a solar panel in order to give [...]

If there’s one thing we learned from Nintendo’s presentation at E3 earlier this year, it’s that snowboarding injuries are often hilarious playing imaginary drums is like, the coolest-looking action that anyone could ever hope to perform. 505 Games, whose publishing repertoire includes PAL versions of Cooking Mama and Harvest Moon: A [...]

There’s no doubt that Motorola’s Krave ZN4 has oodles of sex appeal, so it’s no shock that Moto’s introducing a lookalike in the South Korean market. The interestingly named MOTOPRIZM looks pretty much exactly like the aforementioned ZN4, packing a 2.8-inch WVGA touchscreen, an S-DMB tuner, 3-megapixel camera and Bluetooth connectivity.

Dell executive Bob Pearson decided to comment on Apple’s “green” ad campaign. It was hard to understand. We were confused. Fortunately, Robert was nice enough to translate. The original post, on Dell’s site, is here.
“Several Dell folks were surprised and perplexed to see Apple’s new ‘green’ MacBook ad since its release last month [...]

Joel Comm, publisher of the highly-useful app iFart Mobile, has published some data about how sales related to popularity in the App Store.

So, here’s what’s awesome: Nokia’s well received 5800 XpressMusic will be making the trip to US soil with US 3G support baked right in. Here’s what’s just so-so: there’s no AT&T logo on the photos, so we’re assuming Nokia will only be selling this one here in unlocked, [...]

Gamasutra reports that British police have raided a retailer in Cardiff, Wales, seizing 1,800 “flash carts” for Nintendo DS.

jkOnTheRun posted an interesting commentary in the race for LTE. Previously, we had reported that Verizon Wireless had upped the ante and is now rolling out LTE ahead of schedule in 2009 rather than wait for 2010. Well, just recently, AT&T announced that it will begin trials of a 7.2 Mbps HSPA deployment, which will [...]
While earlier reports from HTC have revealed that the firm had no intention of bringing the Touch HD to the States, it seems that the Taiwanese OEM may reverse its stance and offer an American version compatible with North American 3G frequencies.
