Apple's plans to release their new software, MobileMe, has been slightly leaked to the public in the form of two oddly found webpages: 1, 2.
Since those leaks, Apple has released its formal web presentation of the content, and explained some of the mystery behind their latest creation.
The MobileMe will sync any devices with the capbility to support the software and networking together. MobileMe "stores all your email, contacts, and calendars on an online server — or “cloud” — and pushes them down... [Read More]
Apple has been developing touch screen alternatives that would let it offer inexpensive multi-touch panels made out of plastic, as oppose to glass according to a newly-published US patent filing. The new displays would put near-transparent, capacitive wires in rows on one panel and link them to columns on another. The end result would be a significantly cheaper and lighter display no thicker than current iPhone displays. The new displays were submitted just two weeks ago, prior to the release of the old iPhone.
CEO of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs has one of the best employee ratings amongst thousands of corporate CEOs. The survey included over 40,000 worker reviews and some 9,800 companies worldwide. At present, Jobs is rated well by 91%of his employees. In relation, more average ratings included Michael Dell with having a 66% satisfaction rate, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer with 55%. Joining Steve Jobs at the high end of the rankings was Intuit’s Brad Smith who had a 96% rating, Cisco’s John Chambers with settled at 85%. The least liked bosses were EDS’ John Rittenmeyer wth 16% and AMD’s Hector Ruiz 11%.
Slashdots Oren Hurvitz surveyed and discovered that Apple underpays its engineers relative to the market price. The post asks, “Will Apple have to raise salaries to match the market rate, or face defections?”
Cnet's Matt Asay says, essentially, "nah." Apple's high stock price and options benefits are likely a reason many engineers are staying. Plus, he asks, "where are these developers going to go?" The coming [staying? already-here? -- ed.] recession and a sagging employment market aren't going to make it easy for engineers to find higher-paid jobs elsewhere in the Valley.

The FCC held public hearings on early termination fees on Thursday. The FCC’s Chairman, Kevin J. Martin, would like rules established to ensure early termination fees are in relation to the recovery costs and not abused in a manner to retain unsatisfied customers within a carrier. An example Martin gives is that US$500 phone shouldn’t have the same termination fee as a US$50 phone.
Martin also stated that termination fees should be prorated and the contract for service should be a “reasonable period of time”. Other guidelines he would like established relate to early termination fees not being extended if a customer renews their contract without receipt of new hardware.
Another area of concern the FCC Chairman would like addressed through FCC guidelines; is the ability for a customer to receive their first bill to verify the accuracy of the quoted monthly charge before an early termination fee kicks... [Read More]
Now your chance to get the HTC Touch Diamond before the official release in the US. CompUSA has one available for the crazy price of just $779. Its unlocked so you can use both AT&T and T-Mobile. Can this phone really be worth $779?
I really don't use the built-in contact manager very much so although I have looked around at a few alternatives I have not looked very hard to find replacement application. With FunContact 2.1 I may have found that replacement
FunContact is designed for touch, although you can use a stylus. You cannot use dpad or a jog wheel. When you touch anything on the screen the program really “snaps” with smooth animation. VITO Technologies has a brief demo on YouTube that you should take a look at. FunContact is $19.95 and there is a 14 day trial period that is not crippled in any way. FunContact is designed for WM 5 or higher with a touchscreen.
Now this is all slightly shady business, but Kevin Chen, General Manager of HTC Middle East, Africa & CIS, reportedly stated that HTC devices may have Windows Mobile 7 running in early 2009.
The original source site for this information has gone down and replaced with an "account suspended" notice.
The new Windows Mobile 7 is expected to do a lot of things, but Microsoft has yet to confirm any information that has been floating around.
A leaked report stated that the new WM7 will be much more heavily geared toward a large touch screen interface and will feature more "device gestures, such as swiping a finger to scroll or skip, and shaking the device to wake it up."
How devices in the future will implement these new software features maybe a great step toward the "next-generation" of PDA.
Keep in mind that these are all just whispers, but for those of you interested, feel free to... [Read More]

E66: This slider phone is the successor to the E65. Its stand out feature is that it has an
You're looking at what's scheduled to be the world's first projector phone from ChinaKing (aka, CKing). The bits of information we scraped off the machine translated text reveals an LCoS-based projector that relies upon a LED light source and manual focus adjustment. This brick (and we mean brick) is supposedly capable of projecting a 30-inch, 640 x 480 pixel image for up to 2-hours at a time. 2-hours you say, not possible! Perhaps you forgot about the 666 day battery. Nah. A couple more pics after the break.
Two children ages 12 and 13 were admitted to a mental health clinic to help cure them of what has been determined as cellphone addiction. From the Telegraph:
They were brought in after spending an average of six hours a day on their phones, talking, texting or playing games.
Their parents became concerned that the children, aged 12 and 13, were unable to carry out normal activities without their handsets. They were failing at school and deceiving relatives in an attempt to obtain more money for phone cards.
According to staff members at the clinic, this is the first time that a specific treatment was used to cure mobile phone addiction. Personally I would of just taken the phones away, they’re just kids. Are you... [Read More]
One of the first most noticeable things at the WWDC 08 Conference was when Steve Jobs came out on stage and was noticeably thinner than he was at previous events. However, although Steve Jobs has had a recent history of what some may consider severe health problems, it was just the common bug this time around. People are making a huge deal about his appearance due to his significant position and his perceived importance to the company’s success.
Although, you're most likely won't be getting these devices. E-TEN hasn't been doing too well in hooking up with the US Wireless carriers. However, it is not a good reason to keep us away from checking these babies out!
