Not only iRobot has smart alec attitude to the questions that you ask his robotic highness, but it also reminds you that in future the world will be overtaken by robots:
Since iPhone has capacitive display it is easy to make apps that simulate reality. Such games on resistive touch-screen displays would be impossible practically because you would press something and then wait long time for answer that would never come.
Most apps that simulate some stuff are vanity apps for fun. We can’t imagine that this revolver app can be used for any useful purpose, but you can play Russian roulette with it and you can just show it off (but be careful that policeman could pull real gun in reaction!).
Here is how this app looks like (note: it is free so sometimes it is displaying banners from AdMob):
MocoNews have a little article regarding the usage ratio of mobile and fixed line broadband usage. There are some quite interesting figures as the take up of mobile broadband seems to be steadily rising. My interest lies solely in the fact that whilst fixed line is ever so popular there are many areas, especially in the UK that lack any decent broadband service. Mobile broadband is a much more viable option however there are even bigger holes and pathetic service provided around the edges. Read on for the article.
So it looks like Orange have decided to get in on the blogging action and are now regularly producing their own unboxing and phone demo videos. Not sure that this is a good thing as they are obviously selling the phones they are talking about so you must bare that in mind when watching.
This one is the Orange exclusive Samsung i8910 which is the much hyped Omnia HD, you know the one that can capture 720p video. What we find strange is how this phone exploded onto the scene at MWC 09 but the launch has been anything but hyped. Video after the break.
Well looks like the first proper review of the Palm Pre has now been posted. We knew that BGR had got their hands on one after we saw some photos a few days back. They have now posted up a review which to be fair is going to be more of a first impression than a complete review as they have only had it a few days but all the signs are positive. Take a look after the break for a few snippets.
Android Community have done it again and uncovered some more information on the HTC Hero this time in the form of a promo video. Demonstrating a gloss-red Hero seemingly running the new “Rosie” GUI, the video shows the phone going online, accessing the Android market and generally flaunting its OS capabilities.
Take a look at the video after the break.
