Pocketnow unboxes Celio's Redfly, a device that acts as a mobile companion to your "small and nimble" Windows mobile device. It is, essentially, a Palm Foleo. Except it isn't. If it were a cheap subnote, it'd be fodder for a lot more attention: it weighs only 2 pounds, has a plain but minimal look to it, two USB ports and VGA out. It's 9 inches long, has an 800x480 8" screen and an 80-key keyboard, ...

Filed under: Culture, Messaging, Studies While there has been quite the kerfuffle about banning texting while driving and educating Australian youngsters on text speak, a new survey shows that the vast majority of us haven't even sent a single SMS. Research firm Ipsos MediaCT polled individuals in a variety of countries and came to one general conclusion: If folks are using SMS, "they're using it frequently." On the flip-side, those who aren't savvy with text ...

Filed under: Handsets, Misc It's been a long, long time since we've heard from Germany's "Future Store" -- the ultra-futuristic German grocery store that might have sprung directly from the Sprawl trilogy -- but they've got a new feature we thought you might be interested in. Shoppers in the store can now use camera-equipped cellphones (i.e., cellphones) to snap pictures of item barcodes, and then download the information at the checkout when they're finished shopping. ...

We’re one week away from the debut of the 3G iPhone, and the question on everyone’s mind seems to be, “What’s going to happen to the six million first-gen iPhones that are on the fast track to obsolescence?” The iPhone - the ultimate in “cool” for the last twelve months - is about to board the lametrain, and the race is on to unload them before its resale value dips any further. Ztail, the startup ...

Bill Gates has pulled off one of the greatest hacks in technology and business history, by turning Microsoft's success into a force for social responsibility. Imagine imposing a tax on every corporation in the developed world, collecting $100 per white-collar worker per year, and then directing one third of the proceeds to curing AIDS and malaria. That, effectively, is what Bill Gates has done. On a day when everyone will be noting Gates' departure from ...

I read an article this morning highlighting some very peculiar questions regarding how developers interact with customers via the iPhone/iPod Touch App store. I read all of them and the answers seemed so clear that I don’t know why Apple hasn’t answered them officially. Perhaps they will in the next two weeks, or there are some people at EA who might know already. Most likely, Apple hasn’t even thought of this stuff yet and they’ll ...

Deeplinking has collected the paper sketches that gave birth to Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, Abiword, mySociety, and others. Shown here, an early Twitter (stat.us) sketch, from Jack Dorsey's Flickr stream. My own contribution to the archiving of this stuff are my pics of Raph Koster's original, hand-drawn Ultima Online map. Link (via Waxy)

Jeff Smith said:
61% of mobile search for Google in Q1 2008, versus 68% of web search. They are just as dominant online, probably trending higher, given that they are the default search engine on the iPhone and Sprint phones, too.
