iPhone GPS Dongle

by Ken Allen on December 17, 2007

Navizon had a great idea providing jailbroken iPhones with an ability to emulate GPS through tower triangulation, but it only gave somewhat accurate information. Partfoundry has developed a working prototype dongle for the jailbroken iPhone that provides real time GPS locationing with an accuracy of 16ft-32ft using the SiRF Star III chip. It's sleek look definitely goes well with the iPhone. Though the dongle makes the iPhone a bit bigger, ... continued »

Meizu iPhone-clone prototype breaks cover

by Chris Davies on December 14, 2007

As anyone who has followed the Optimus Maxiumus saga will know, after a while people get sick & tired of renders and want to see the real thing.  Up until now, we've only had digitally-created images of Meizu's range of iPhone-clones, but now there are leaked photos of the iPod Touch lookalike handset the M9 M8 to prove that it isn't just a designers folly.  Update: the device is a mockup, bizarrely ... continued »

Orb update media place-shifting with iPhone interface

by Chris Davies on December 14, 2007

Orb on the iPhone isn't new, as such, but the media streaming company has a newly designed interface especially intended for the cellphone and its iPod Touch cousin.  That puts pay to our overriding criticism of the service from last time - that the desktop UI wasn't as compatible with the iPhone's mobile Safari browser as would be nice - and now means that place-shifting music from your home PC to your ... continued »

Land Rover LRX Concept using iPhone for more than just audio

by James Allan Brady on December 14, 2007

Sure, there are 2 iPhone docks inside this concept vehicle, on in the center console next to the driver, and one in the removable speakers in the rear, but I’d be willing to wager that by the time this thing hits production one or more of them will be missing. But, the coolest feature, the iPhone when placed in the center console can be used as a key to start ... continued »

Everyday something new comes out for the iPhone. Maybe it's an app you could care less about, but recently a few iPhone hackers provided a proof of a working iPhone video capture application everybody has been waiting for. While still in beta and very buggy, the application can capture up to 15fps at only a short 5 seconds. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L0cNPMSDXs[/youtube] continued »

The mobile iPhone version of Myspace will include optimized profile pages, notification, and touch friendly buttons specifically for the iPhone. I'm sure come SDK time, these companies will be signed with Apple and be allowed to create applications for the iPhone that don't require Safari. [Via Electronista] continued »
