BlogIt Comes To The iPhone

BlogIt Comes To The iPhone

Six Apart have introducd an iPhone version of their BlogIt software, which allows users to quickly post to their blogs, Twitter, Pownce, FriendFeed, Jaiku and Facebook. Currently this version of BlogIt is a traditional iPhone web-based application, though a native version should be on its way. Users can get the app by going to http://blogit.typepad.com on their iPhone’s browser.

BlogIt was originally released as a Facebook application in April. Both versions currently support posting to Movable Type, TypePad, Vox, LiveJournal, Blogger and Wordpess, as well as the social networks that were mentioned.

Newer Blackberry Flip To Come With GPS Support

Newer Blackberry Flip To Come With GPS Support

Even though RIM may not have gotten around to announcing their Kickstart 9100 yet, much less release it, but it seems like there are some reports on the leaking of the Blackberry flip’s successor. In RIM parlance, normally a “10” tacked on a model number means that a GPS receiver is available, and the metada from BoyGenius Report has listed GPS as part of the 9110 “Seawolf”.

Aside from that, there is also mention about an “Aurora”, which is indicated to be a member of the 8100 (Pearl) series, though its device ID curiously matches that of the Thunder/Storm, so it might be possible that the two projects were merged at some point of time.

Sony Ericsson F305 Concept. How Far Will It Be From The Real Thing?

Sony Ericsson F305 Concept. How Far Will It Be From The Real Thing?

With so many new phones supposedly lined up to be announced next Tuesday, what else would Sony Ericsson have that can still be groundbreaking? Some official pictures of the upcoming F305 would be great. Unfortunately there currently aren’t any official pictures, or leaked ones, though someone has been kind enough to do a concept sketch, and it’s said to represent 80% of what the actual device will look like, a gaming-focused low to mid-end slider with an FM radio and stereo speakers. If the end product is anything like this, it will be looking like a winner, by all accounts.

iPhone-like Interface For Palm OS

iPhone-like Interface For Palm OS

Palm OS users who might have been drooling over the iPhone interface for some time now have a way to pretty up their launcher to look like the iPhone interface. This is achievable via TouchLauncher, which is a new Palm OS launcher app that can make users Treo or Centro (along with older Palm PDA’s) look and feel much like the iPhone.

Users will be able to start their applications in the “iPhone manner”, and also scroll between multiple screens with their finger, and get the number of unread text messages appearing as part of the SMS icon. TouchLauncher also supports iconsets and wallpapers, rearrangement of applications in a drag-and-drop fashion, categorization and renaming of applications, addition of web and contact links and more.

At $6.99, it’s fairly cheap, and a simple way to make a Palm look like an iPhone. So if Palm users are envious of iPhone users because of the interface, hopefully this will help ease their envy.

Pictures Of The Blackberry Kickstart Flip Phone From Every Angle

Pictures of the upcoming Blackberry Kickstart have surfaced on the web, showing almost every possible angle of this phone, including internal pictures of the phone! The slight downside is that the pictures are a little unfocused, though it’ll have to do until RIM sees fit to release official pictures of the Kickstart.

Nokia Applies for Cylindrical Cellphone Patent

Nokia Applies for Cylindrical Cellphone Patent

It looks like Nokia is trying to patent some kind of of weird cylindrical cellphone. It might be something that would appeal to users who want something really different, though it doesn’t look very practical at the moment. It probably will have potential to have a fairly wide display, but no matter how many twists and turns it takes, it still doesn’t look really feasible. It will be interesting to see if Nokia actually launches such a phone.

Must Users Turn In Their Old iPhones To Get The $199/$299 iPhone 3G Pricing?

Must Users Turn In Their Old iPhones To Get The $199/$299 iPhone 3G Pricing?

There are rumors floating around that AT&T wants to take back users’ old iPhones in order to give them the much-drooled-about $199 / $299 pricing for the 8GB and 16GB iPhones respectively. It probably would make sense, in order to keep costs down; fortunately this is one rumor (amongst the other million) that isn’t true. AT&T have confirmed that there won’t be any representative looking to take back users’ old iPhones.

The only situation where users will have to turn in their old iPhone is if they’re taking advantage of the exchange deal for folks that bought it since May 27th.

Motorola Releasing New Bluetooth Headset Optimized For In-Car Usage

Motorola Releasing New Bluetooth Headset Optimized For In-Car Usage

Motorola is rolling out a pair of new Bluetooth headsets to be released in Q3, one fairly standard, the other a little more interesting.

First off, the H560 (the leftmost one) has a three-color light to indicate battery level, echo cancelation, noise reduction, automatic volume adjustment based on ambient noise and a selection of earpieces.

The other model, the H620 is more interesting, as it’s the first headset by Motorola to be optimized for in-car use, and none of the features seem to be specific to the model. The H620 comes with a dashboard headset holder and rapid car charger, which should be really handy for people who don’t want to drop the headset in some dingy glove compartment. Aside from that, it has the same features as the H560 such as auto volume adjustment and noise reduction.
