If you've been thinking about trying instant email on your iPhone, then Synchronica's 60-day free trial might be the push (ha, that was a pun, y'see) you need.  We've mentioned Synchronica before: they operate a Mobile Gateway service that, using the Outlook Web Access system, securely picks up new email and automatically sends it on to your iPhone.  The clever part is that there's no software to install and no ... continued »

iPhone look-a-like virtual keyboard for the Nokia N800

by Vincent Nguyen on July 30, 2007

Again, imitation is the best form of flattery. There’s a cleverly written utility for the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet that mimics the on-screen virtual keyboard of the Apple iPhone. It’s written in Python, in case you care; looks really neat. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrWpUBTDDr0[/youtube] The iPhone-clone keyboard looks and feel similar the real deal but lacks the predictive text algorithm.
