At first it strikes you as another iPhone clone, but then once you get your hands it and turn it on, it becomes something else altogether: an iPhone clone for spies. The ePhone i9s is a touchscreen iPhone-lookalike with two new features added. A touch-sensitive numeric keypad that becomes invisible when not in use and a nifty accessory: a wireless spy camera. Besides that, it’s a dual-SIM phone with Bluetooth and JAVA. Price is only $114. There is another pic after the break.
Another fine example of iPhone peripheral ingenuity over at Cnet. This, must have, will help you work out if you have drunk over one pint at the pub. Or if you were plastered the night before and what time you can get in your car in the morning.
Innovation in the App Store has been rampant, but worthwhile development in third-party devices (save a few battery backups/boosters) has been sparse. iBreath, a Breathalyzer and FM Transmitter for the iPod (and unofficially for the iPhone), is a new and notable exception
Nice little video from Pocketnow. A good old, fashioned browser war with the other top platforms. Using a Hero currently I am enjoying the browser experience. Loads quickly and the embedded flash seems to work quite well. It’s not really surprising which device wins but all three do have excellent web browsing experiences.
In the recession we’re all feeling the pinch. Cutting back on some of life’s luxuries has become necessity as people look to tighten their purse strings and manage their outgoings. But one area that is surviving the cutbacks is in communication technology.
Now I’ve heard everything is available on websites, but you don’t really care for websites, do you? You prefer having it all in apps, that bring additional benefits like offline-viewing and nice multitouch user interface and other fancy stuff.
Here we are reviewing an official (at last!) app for the biggest British website that offers properties for sale and rent – rightmove.co.uk. Yes, this is a British thing, so if you are not interested in Blighty – nothing to see here! Seriously.
Agile Partners (creators of GuitarToolkit iPhone app) and musician Jason Forrest introduced Star6, the application that transforms the iPhone into a performance-ready sample instrument. Star6 is now available at the App Store for an introductory price of $6.99 (http://itunes.com/app/Star6)
Those “clever” guys over that CTA Digital have come up the the must have peripheral for the year, the iPhone steering wheel. You are encouraged to violently shake anyone you happen to see using this, especially in public.
Starting from today, I will no longer be writing for Mobile Tech Addicts, due to increased workload professionally and in my own personal life I can no longer find the time to write for the site which has been very frustrating for me.
Thankfully Gareth has agreed to take the reigns and take the site forward however I am sure he will be looking for help in doing this, so if anyone is interested in getting involved drop him a line at [email protected].
I would like to thank everyone for their support and especially all our friends at Clove and Superetrader and wish Gareth all the best with the site in the future, I will definitely be a subscriber.
Microsoft has confirmed in a preview of Windows Mobile 6.5 that version 7 of the mobile OS will include multi-touch and will be targeted at the same high-end market as Apple’s iPhone or most current Android phones. The company promises to the Inquirer that multi-touch will be a core feature of Windows Mobile 7 and that many of the experiences of competing phones will be "knocked in the different realm" of Microsoft’s new platform.
The time it takes to port a mobile phone number could fall according to new plans from Ofcom, the independent communications authority. Thanks to Ofcom, the UK already had shorter porting times than the majority of Europe when they were able to reduce the process from five days to two working days. But, while we have bragging rights over the vast majority of Europe, it seems two days is one two many for Ofcom’s liking with the proposed changes shortening the process to one day and potentially even as short as two hours.
