Over at Phone Report v2.0 they have taken a look at the Nokia n810’s connectivity features and its potential for GPS. This device looks to be a great home gadget, I’m not sure about the implementation of GPS, seem like every portable device is to have GPS dumped into it.
Tracy and Matt have an unboxing of the rather attractive MWg Zinc II. It has obvious let downs on an initial glance at the spec list but its a very good looking and simplistic style that might appeal to those who just can’t get behind the E-Ten or Tytn II.
The MWg Zinc II is a feature-rich Windows Mobile 6.0 pro device with a built in sliding QWERTY keyboard. On the face of it the Zinc II looks like a decent alternative to the HTC TyTN II.
Take a look at my unbox video below to discover a little more about it and come back soon to read the full review.

When I received the HTC Advantage 7510 for review I was a bit confused, was it a phone or was it a UMPC type device, I am still somewhat confused as to where it fits in to everyday life but having said that what a great piece of technology.
It is basically a large screened Pocket PC Professional device just too big to use as a phone but a brilliant Internet tablet and GPS alternative. Read on for the full review.
I was again invited to join the team at msmobiles this Saturday and talk Windows Mobile with Edward form msmobiles, Alli from MyTreo.net and Mickey from The Cell Phone Junkie. Edward also does a segment with Tadd again from MyTreo.net. We had a good time this week discussing Alli’s experience with the Treo 800W, Twitter and Opera Mobile 9.5. You can download the podcast here or visit msmobiles for all the podcasts here. Show notes after the break.
Ok so if the built in PIM is not enough for you with iPhone 2.0 then here is some great news. If you have converted like me from Windows Mobile you will already be well aware of the quality software that is Pocket informant. Well the good news is they will be releasing a version for the iPhone, the bad news is it is still a few months out from release. Alpha screen shots and details after the break.
The iPhone-Dev Team has officially released version 2.0 of their PwnageTool. This software pwns the iPhone’s firmware which allows unsigned software and firmware to be restored to the iPhone. This gives the ability to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone for use on other networks.
Currently the iPhone-Dev Team has a working jailbreak for both the original and 3G iPhones. Additionally, first generation iPhones can be sim unlocked using this version of pwnage, with a solution for iPhone 3G coming soon.
available from the iPhone-Dev-Team but be patient as their servers are a bit busy.
