Starting the day with something funny, we've already seen the knitted iPhone and a very impressive wood & aluminium facsimile, but how about a clay iPhone? Apparently intended as part of a prank on his wife, Flickr user vaughn235 put together a tactile looking iPhone copy - complete with box and dock - made out of Sculpey Premo modelling clay.

Latest iPhone clay-based not silicon

Audi & Apple boast in-car integration
What a happy coincidence: here was me just about to drive a brand new Audi A8 off the lot, when the German firm join hands with Apple and issue a gushing press release about their latest in-car couplings. No, this isn't some sort of unpleasant cellular dogging experience, it's Audi bigging-up their optional Bluetooth interface which - surprise surprise - is compatible with the iPhone. There's also a cable on ... continued »

Logic3 unveil first made-for-iPhone travel speakers
Frankly, when I first looked at these Logic3 travel-speakers, I wasn't too impressed. Let's face it, they look a bit cheap and that shiny logo? Nasty. But for the price - £29.99 ($60.52) - I suppose you can't argue too much, and that slide-expand motion is quite cool.

iPhone unlocked for use with any carrier’s SIM

Unlike previous methods which required tricky-to-locate v1 SIM cards and external SIM reader/writer drives, over at the Bladox forums they're detailing how to do it with simply a blank TurboSIM and the iPhone itself. Those who have tried it out report full access to EDGE and SMS as well as incoming ... continued »

WSJ goes inside huge iPhone manufacturing city
Willy Wonka bundled up the whole Oompa-Loompa tribe and brought them to live in his chocolate factory; I don't think the 270,000 workers at the Hon Hai factory in Shenzhen, China were at risk of being gobbled up by rotten Vermicious Knids, but they too live in a wondrous place creating items that bring joy to many. No, not candy, but iPhones, Wiis and Motorola cellphones. The Wall Street Journal won ... continued »

Google Video workaround for iPhone
Since YouTube got blocked at work, I've been getting more familiar with what Google Video is offering; to be honest, I prefer it. Sadly up until now there's been no obvious way to enjoy Google Video content on your iPhone, but with a little lateral thinking (and a reasonable connection) there's a workaround.
