Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a huge surprise. But a friend in the industry told us that they've seen H.264 1080P video playing on the iPhone, quite a few times, with no problems at all. Of course, the resolution is absurd overkill for the system's screen, but what's this mean in light of the purported iTunes 8 HD? Potentially a lot. For one, if iTunes 8 indeed goes HD, the iPhone is more than ready ...

If comScore's data is to believed then the US has done the unthinkable and passed Western Europe (aka, old Europe right Donnie?) in terms of 3G adoption. 28.4% of American mobile cellphone subscribers north of that southern land mass with a similar sounding name now sport 3G devices compared to a measly 28.3% average for Europe's largest countries. That's an 80% surge in the US last year even though T-Mobile is still 3G-less. Man, it's ...

Nokia's much rumored, much anticipated N96 slider has just had its debut—in Europe. It's on sale for €550, or around $798 (yes, this is obviously the unsubsidized price—before tax, too). And though there's no firm info on the US launch timing or prices, this is a good indicator it's on its way. [Nokia]

On Saturday, Aug. 30, the daughters of “BillH” bought an iPhone at an AT&T store in Sunnyvale, Calif. The next day, their father, an Apple investor from Minneapolis, reported on The Mac Observer’s Apple Finance Board (AFB) that the so-called IMEI number on the phone was 01 171400 6049xx x (the last three digits X’d out for safety sake). That number may not mean anything to you or me, but to a group of Apple ...

Lo “01 Phone” dovrebbe essere il vero nuovo anti-iPhone e, almeno stando al sito “ufficiale”, uscirà tra 19 giorni. Al momento non esiste ancora nessuna conferma sull’effettiva esistenza di questo 01 Phone e potrebbe benissimo essere una bufala, anche se è già online il presunto sito ufficiale. Se così non fosse, però, staremo davanti ad un gran telefono cellulare: Display più ampio rispetto a quello dell’iPhone Touch screen (non è specificato se normale o multi) ...

Here’s a headline for you — the original iPhone works on 3G data networks, and works just as fast as the new iPhone 3G. In fact, the iPhone original is a quad-band cell phone, and capable of operating on 3G networks. But in America, however, original iPhones are throttled back by Apple’s software and forced to operate only on AT&T’s aged, outdated and antiquated Edge data network where the data stream runs at about 80k ...

The Gadget: Sony Eriscsson's TM506 is the first phone to be sold by T-Mobile that supports its still-rolling-out HSDPA network on the 1700/2100 MHz band. The Price: Still not official, but T-Mobile says it will be less than $100 with contract when it drops in early September. The Verdict: Solid, everyman 3G for the masses. If you didn't know it going in, you might not even realize the TM506 was 3G-capable. There's no big "3G" ...

Well, the wife and I got iPhone 3G’s today. But they really should be called iPhone 2.5G’s. After Wired’s article about the survey they did of 3G users in various locales across North America, I was ready to discount the iPhone 3G’s troubles with the 3G network as mainly due to faulty local networks. Then again, something didn’t sit right in that conclusion. It all became crystal clear as the young, stoked Apple attendant was ...
