Filed under: Handsets, Motorola No need to defog your spectacles, what you just read there in the headline is the truth. Astoundingly enough, Motorola's nearly archaic (in cellphone years, anyway) RAZR V3 is still the top-selling handset in the United States. Of course, it helps that it's highly subsidized on practically every carrier from coast to coast, but we're still a little stunned that it's selling this well nearly 2.5 years after Moto moved its ...

Filed under: Cellphones Just when you think you've escaped the darkened woods of firmware 2.0.2 and previous ilk, along comes 2.1, wrapped in faster-loading-contacts-finery to convince you all is well in the iPhone world. That isn't entirely the case, it seems, if you're user of POP or IMAP mail accounts which are set to fetch messages. Apparently, a maddening bug exists in the new software which -- in the interest of battery power conservation, we ...

I was wondering why my phone doesn't seem to get email and chirp at me while it's in my pocket, and only while I'm using it. What's the point of fetching at all? Isn't that just basically Manual Fetch mode?

Backgrounder permite dejar en segundo plano la aplicación que deseemos, tras instalarlo lo unico que tendremos que hacer para activarlo es dejar el boton home pulsado, nos saldrá un aviso de que ha sido activado y podremos salir normalmente, cuando volvemos a ejecutar la aplicación estará ...

Now that China Mobile is about to officially launch Apple's latest handset in the world's most populous country, we can only imagine that figure going up. In a bizarre twist of trying to keep a homegrown 3G standard (TD-SCDMA) alive, the carrier has announced that it is intending to launch the mobile with WiFi and 3G disabled -- a move that would make ...

The silent message is that the real threat ...

分类: 智能手机 苹果香港爆出一条重要消息：苹果香港网上零售店销售8G和16G容量的3G手版iPhone机，8GB售价695美元(5400港元)，相当于4754元人民币（目前水货价格约4500元人民币），16GB售价798美元(6200港元)，相当于5458元人民币（目前水货价格约5400元人民币），并且免收送货费。 所售手机可以与任何移动运营商兼容，用户只需"将SIM卡插入3G版iPhone手机，并且与iTunes 8连接后即可完成激活。"你只要知道香港在中国内地所扮演的水货中转站地位，你就会知道，苹果在全球经济下滑的情况下做出这个决定是别有用心的，中国现在的3G网络已经大面积展开，与其让水货商赚一笔，还不如直接敞开胸怀迎接客户。因此，我们可以预见中国移动明年引入限制版iPhone不是空穴来风（真有其事？），随着G1的到来，这已经是一场必须要打的市场争夺战了，你的观点呢？引用来源 | 此文章网址 | 转寄此文章 | 回应

Filed under: Handsets, AppleWe're not particularly inclined to believe them, but the whispers that Apple is about to bump the top-end iPhone capacity to 32GB are getting harder to ignore -- especially since 8GB inventory is drying up, leading to speculation that's it's going to be dropped as soon as next week.

Filed under: ポータブルプレーヤ, 携帯電話, アップル Griffinが発表したAirCurveは iPhone用の「アコースティック・アンプ」。アンプといっても音声信号を電気的に増幅・出力するのではなく、内蔵スピーカーの音を渦巻き状の導管に通して鳴らすホーンスピーカードックのような製品です。iPhone 3Gは意外とよく鳴るスピーカーを内蔵しているもののドックにおくと開口部が真下を向いてしまいますが、AirCurveに載せればホーンを通った音が前方に向かうようになります。メーカーいわく導波管「おどろくべき増幅効果」を持つよう製造されており、聞けば「絶対にフルサイズのスピーカーが入っていると思うはず」。モノとしては壁で音道を区切り四隅をボルトで留めた単なるポリカーボネートの箱ですが一応ドックコネクタは備えており、パススルー端子にケーブルをつなげば充電や同期が可能になっています。価格は19.99ドル。Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

We're guessing that's where Apple imprints the serial and IMEI numbers of each handset since it can't exactly hide them under a removable battery (cough), but we'll leave it to the rest of you to decode this sneaky tag ...
