Not too long ago, Proximi gave iPhone users a glimpse of how copy and paste could work on their handsets with the release of MagicPad. Unfortunately, the copy and paste functionality only went as far as the limitations of Apple’s SDK allowed; while you could copy from one MagicPad document to another, you couldn’t copy from a MagicPad document to Safari. It wasn’t exactly what iPhone users were looking for, but it was the start of something awesome.
Early this morning, Palm released a couple of official press photos of the Treo Pro along with a short video. The company didn’t reveal a whole lot of information other than the following, the Treo Pro smartphone features a one-touch Wi-Fi button, GPS, Windows Mobile 6.1 and a high-resolution flush colour touch screen. Slashgear managed to get the video and it is after the break
JC Doss and Steve Trotto discuss the update to the iPhone in another quality podcast about the mobile world.

Dave over at Mobility Today has just posted his video review of the HTC Touch Pro, good to see that he agrees with our review over the usability, speed and power of this HTC phone. You can check out Dave’s video after the break and also our review right here.
The latest iPhone software update version 2.02 has just gone live on iTunes. The usual detailed description has been provided by Apple, "Bug Fixes". Here’s hoping that this will address the well reported problems iPhone 3G users have been experiencing. One thing I have noticed is the signal strength has improved and the Modem Firmware has definitely been upgraded. Pics after the break
T-Mobile said today that it plans to launch a mobile phone powered by Google’s Android software, making it the first operator to do so and posing a direct threat to Apple’s popular iPhone. A spokesman for Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s German parent, declined to comment on the launch date for the device which is made by mobile phone maker HTC.
WMExperts have posted a quick look video at the Iris Web Browser that runs on the WebKit rendering engine which powers the iPhones Safari browser. Unfortunately it looks a bit slow for prime time use but does render pages very nicely which is a big plus on a Windows Mobile device. Check out the video after the break.
Brando, who have just launched this 6x Zoom Telescope for the iPhone 3G. Now I am not being funny here but who is going to want one of these or for that matter risk being laughed at for using it. Apparently you can overcome the short comings of mobile phone cameras and now take some great shots. More pictures after the break.
Various reports are popping up about the impending availability of the Samsung i900 Omnia on Orange and Vodafone in the UK. According to Coolsmartphone Orange have it in stock now and Vodafone will shortly follow. This is good news as this looks like a really great Windows Mobile device. We should have one next week for review and maybe this device will sway me from the iPhone 3G.
A 1.3 version of the DSTwitter has been released. Where did it come from? Its only been a couple of months since the first incarnation hit the net. Mashable has directions for installation. Of course you will require one of the R4 style cards that are now under threat from Nintendo.
