Posted on 18 December 2007 by Ken Allen
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is making plans for a meeting amongst DoCoMo and Softbank Corp. to discuss rights to which mobile phone service can carry the iPhone in Japan. The iPhone only has EDGE and DoCoMo doesn't have EDGE available, so the iPhone released in Japan would definitely have to be 3G.

iPhone GPS Dongle
Posted on 17 December 2007 by Ken Allen
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.

Orb update media place-shifting with iPhone interface
Posted on 14 December 2007 by Chris Davies
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 ... continued »

Land Rover LRX Concept using iPhone for more than just audio
Posted on 14 December 2007 by James Allan Brady
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 ... continued »

iPhone Video Capture Succeeded.
Posted on 13 December 2007 by Ken Allen
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.

"If you are impressed by the "touch features" in the iPhone, you'll be blown away by what's coming in Windows 7" Hilton Locke, TabBlogger

Flash on iPhone: Ask Apple
Posted on 11 December 2007 by Ken Allen
After an Adobe Support Engineer was asked when the iPhone and iPod touch would support flash on Mobile Safari, a response concluded that the wrong company was being asked. It doesn't look like an update with Flash is near, but possibly a member of any of the iPhone dev teams can hack it up.
I personally think that Google bought exclusivity ... continued »
