iPhone all its cracked up to be?

iphone-3g-white-crack

Over at Engadget Mobile is a story about how the iPhone is developing hairline cracks. They are showing up on the white iPhones probably due to easy visibility. Guess questions must be asked as to what materials were used in making the phones exterior.

Sidekick steps up to the plate

t-mobile-sidekick-hands-on-04-sm Sidekicks have always felt like they were playing catch up with the more popular phones. They have a very attractive form factor and are easily more fun than business. Engadget Mobile have the specs of T-Mobile’s incarnation which seems to be just the normal incarnation. One paper the specs don’t dazzle but they are very much a standard you would at least expect.

Update: Gizmodo have posted a review of the device.

Copy and Paste on an iPhone?

7830 Boy Genius Report has the skinny on a new application called Magicpad. Seems its is currently under review for release in the App Store and contains the following features:

MagicPad is a note-taking app that includes a handful of basic ‘word processor’ functionality such as the ability to change font size / color and yes, copy / paste functionality. Of course copying and pasting text is limited in this application as you can only copy text within MagicPad and paste it within MagicPad.

Still a step in the right direction.

Now for those who have been regular readers of Mobile Tech Addicts you will know that it is a very new blog and keeping it fresh and interesting to build up our audience figures has been a lot of hard work but proving very successful so the timing of this family holiday could not have been worse.

iphonefactory

Gizmodo have a sneaky picture of the iPhone factory line. So I guess these phone aren’t forged in the lava’s of Mordor. In fact, quite the opposite, looks a little like Tesco’s packaged donuts.
