Connecting your iphone/ipod to your radio (stereo) through the CD changer Last week I read an article in popular mechanics (link here) talking about the various ways, and the level of quality, per option. Nothing new here that has not already been talked about, except, the missed out on one.. Over ride the CD changer! Why would we want to do something like that? Well, lets… Read More
iPhone a FAIL in Japan? Sayz who? Like everyone else, I’m been seeing a string of articles (most based off the wired article) saying Japan hates the iphone. Now hate is a strong word, but I bought most of what I read. Most.. The only thing that seemed odd to me was the ‘unfashionable’ bit. Really? I have my complaints about the… Read More
Flash 10 coming to a mobile phone near you.. as long as its not an iphone Arrgg.. every time I read anything about the FAIL on getting flash running on the iphone, it just bugs the heck out of me. So guess what I read today from cnet? ‘Lynch demonstrated Flash Player 10 on devices running Nokia’s Symbian operating system, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, and Google’s Android operating system. But the quintessential… Read More
Can Apple send jailbreakers to jail? A statement from Apple came out today claiming ‘Jailbreaking an iPhone constitutes copyright infringement and a DMCA violation..’ Well, based on what I’m reading from Fred von Lohmann on the EFF site, I’m thinking no. Here is why; Apple’s copyright infringement claim starts with the observation that jailbroken iPhones depend on modified versions of Apple’s… Read More
Review of Griffin Macro lens for the iphone camera … sweeet Finally, my clarifi case arrived. And so as promised, I did a few experiments… First though, the case itself. It’s a nice case, a bit too smooth for me which makes me fear I will drop it at some point. I may place a grip sticker on it. The case comes in two pieces, so… Read More
SMHeart Link: Taking the iphone as a biking computer to the next level I’ve written a number of posts about using the iphone as a biking, running and even golfing computer. Well, there is the next level. A full training environment! From SmHeart link. As good as having speed and elevation change is useful for training, adding cardio and other measure, like cadence and power, would bring you… Read More
Macro lens for the iPhone; the only thing I bought at MacWorld Once I saw this I knew I had to buy it. Often, when I’ve had a good bottle of wine, I would take a picture of the label so that I could buy that bottle later. However, because of the focal length of the iphone’s lens, I would only be able to read the larger… Read More
Android on Netbooks. its coming.. and I, for one, welcome our new overlords. MATTHÄUS KRZYKOWSKI & DANIEL HARTMANN wrote an article for VentureBeat on how they were able to get Android working on the EEEPC 1000h. Link here.. Now for most of us mobile geeks, this is not shocking news… as a concept.. but given how quick they were able to do it, and also given how the… Read More
Cheat codes for SimCity on the iphone ipod touch Because so many people have been asking, I’ll repost this. FYI: Simcity for iPad came out with cheats. I’m going to test the cheats this week. I went though 10+ known cheat codes for simcity3k and simcity4. None of them seemed to work. So as far as I know, only 2 cheats codes work.. i… Read More

N.Y. Times rips on the new Blackberry Storm… I agree I have my issues with the iPhone, and I have no problem expressing them, but all in all you have to admit, it’s pretty good. The OS does a good job at being fast enough to keep up with you (not as much since 2.0) and things are mostly well thought out and designed. No… Read More
The next Andriod phone is a swiss army knife … Shame its zzzPhone I have been hearing on the interWebs that zzzPhone is at it again. This time, an Andriod phone. This looks about as dodgy as it gets, but I love the concept. I heard about these guys back in March and dismissed it. Well, they pop up now and again.. This time they are running Andriod. … Read More
What I look for when buying an iPhone battery pack I do not need a battery pack since I have so many power adapters from testing, 🙂 but if I needed one, there are two things I will look for… It should be form fitting such that it becomes part of the phone or at least provide enough protection for the phone such that I… Read More
iphone 3G car charger.. part II A while back I shared what looked like a great deal for a car charger for the 3G since my old iphone car charger does not work anymore… Well, had a few problems with it, but to ‘MyNetDeals’ credit, they replaced it with the proper unit. Seems there are still a few units out there that does not work… Read More
Cheap iphone docking station from ebay I wrote about this before, link here, and it finally came in the mail. Well, it works. There was one thing I though was kinda cheap, using a sticker on the remote to make you think it had a display. Cheesy. Second I had the impression the remote was going recharged. Nope. Just a… Read More
