Realwire have a fun article about the usage of people personal technology:
The exclusive survey, conducted by igizmomag.co.uk, into the gadget habits of British people has found that Brits often exhibit possessive, rude or downright peculiar behaviour when it comes to using their mobile phones and favourite gadgets, including over a third of people who admit to using their phone whilst on the lav!
Apple have moved swiftly to upgrade the buggy 2.0 firmware that was pre-installed on the iPhone 3G. The new update is version 2.01 and is reported to speed up the sync process, fix screen lag problems and generally make the device more stable. To update just plug your iPhone into iTunes and hit check for updates and away you go. This update is for both versions of the iPhone but as usual if your iPhone has been jailbroken do not update till you hear it is ok to do so.
Steve Trotto has posted a video looking at the Elan form case from Griffin for the iPhone. We have the video after the break.
Over at Problogger they have posted an excellent guide for the mobile blogger. The article is a very well written list of what to know in blogging, what to do and most importantly how to do. They have even taken the time to point out some of the shortcomings of the iPhone when it comes to the Blog.
In a rather bold statement game wizard John Carmack believes the iPhone to more powerful than the PSP and DS combined, even going as far to say its almost as strong as the PS2 and Xbox on their original release. Does the iPhone have earth shatter mobile power locked inside it? Maybe worth a look when they unlock this raw power to play … scroll through contacts*.

In an exciting announcement Orange have confirmed that they will be increasing the coverage and reliability of their 3G network. Have a read at the following and if you are on Orange you will be cheering for the end of 2008.
Microsoft make the Windows Mobile operating system. Nokia recently purchased symbian. Yet this report seems to believe that Microsoft and Nokia will work together on taking the iPhone down a peg or two with a Zune phone. I’ve quoted the article after the break:
Phone Report has taken a look at the Nokia 5800. This is Nokia’s attempt at the iPhone market and on paper if looks to be a mightily impressive setup. I would like to see an OS overhaul on this device as the S60 OS is showing its age and this phone is not yet ready to go. Have a look for yourself, I’m sure it will appeal to many folks out there.
Gizmodo, Phone Arena and Mobileburn all have new reviews of the Sidekick 2008. There doesn’t seem to be too much wrong with it. A couple of little niggles here and there but nothing that the kids would complain about. Of course we are all looking for 3G, GPS and Wi-fi now. They don’t dwell too much on the interchangeable covers thankfully. We have the Mobileburn video review after the break.
Just received another update from Superetrader and they tell me they will have free stock of the Samsung Omnia i900 from the 11th August which is a week on Monday 7 days earlier than first announced. I will be getting one and I am really looking forward to doing a very detailed review of this Windows Mobile Professional device as it fits my needs perfectly. I will be doing a lot of comparisons with the iPhone 3G along with HSDPA speed tests and usability tests. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see either in pictures or video in the comments or direct to [email protected]
