iPhones Can do Ultrasound Exams Now

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 14:59:31 +0000

Technology never ceases to amaze us. We all know that Apple has expanded efforts to make the iPhone multi-functional but apparently now, an iPhone can even be used to conduct ultrasound exams thanks to a pair of engineers at Washington University in St. Louis. William D. Richard and David M. Zar have adapted an ultrasound probe that works on a half-watt of power from a cellphone.

That means that ultrasound exams could be conducted nearly anywhere while the image is piped to a doctor at a distant location. What makes this a big advance is not just the technology, but also its potential to greatly reduce the cost of ultrasound machines, making it practical to put them in pockets of E.M.T.’s, battlefield medics, school nurses and third-world obstetricians.

Professor Richard had previously designed a commercially available USB ultrasound probe that works with a laptop computer. He modified that design for the phone. “There is nothing magic about it; you just have to make some tweaks and they run on a smartphone,” said the professor. “It’s real; it isn’t a toy.”

The trick was finding a way to lower the energy demand of the probe. The new model requires half a watt, which the professor estimated translates to up to eight hours of continuous use. “Simple modification to a circuit board is all it takes,” Professor Richard said. “You could run eight probes on the energy required for one night light bulb.”

The professor estimates the current cost of a cellphone ultrasound probe at about $2,000, which would come down if it is produced in quantity. “I have a design for one that in a few years could sell at Walgreens for $199 and still make money,” he said.

Microsoft and Verizon Developing iPhone Killer?

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:02:42 +0000

It was just yesterday that we found out how Apple and Verizon are cooking up a new iPhone for 2010 ready to run on Big Red’s CDMA network. And now this: Microsoft and Verizon are working on an iPhone killer. Or did everyone misunderstood the whole Apple and Verizon thing? According to certain sources Verizon is in talks with Microsoft about that whole iPhone killer. Codenamed project “Pink” the phone will be designed by Microsoft and it will come with lots of multimedia features and, of course, a large touchscreen. The new phone is going to run on Windows Mobile but it’s going to be a tweaked version. So what say you Microsoft? How are you going to explain to everyone else that’s using your OS the new phone? After all everyone knows that Microsoft will not develop an own phone right?

Apple and Verizon Working on iPhone 2010?

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:50:00 +0000

We kept talking about how Verizon is not going to get a CDMA iPhone soon and how AT&T will keep its grip on that exclusivity iPhone agreement. Until today that was all true. Now it looks like Verizon wants the iPhone and not only does it want it but it’s working on it with Apple. According to USA Today the iPhone will be going to Verizon as soon as the exclusivity deal expires. I hope you’re sitting down for this: the Verizon iPhone will run on the CDMA network which is quite the contrary of what we knew so far. Isn’t iPhone 2010 going to use that fresh 4G LTE network?

The Air Mouse Pro Screen for your iPhone

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 04:18:59 +0000

We all know that there are various ways to access PCs and for people who hold talks and presentations, the need for flexible interface is a need. Guess what? With an iPhone, you can control your PC from a distance with Air Mouse Pro!

The top half of the Air Mouse Pro Screen features a two-button trackpad, while the bottom half gives you a keyboard, along with controls for browsing the Web and playing movies and music. Using the accelerometer and touchscreen of either an iPhone or iPod touch, Air Mouse works over a local Wi-Fi network to control your computer’s mouse and keyboard.

Before using the app, you do need to install a small application on your computer-there’s a version for both Mac OS X and Windows users-which manages the connection and controls many of the mouse and keyboard settings.

Handmade Wooden iPhone Casings

admin — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:49:15 +0000

Nothing beats placing your iPhone in stylish casings. If you are in the market for one, perhaps you should consider getting one of these wooden casings. The term ‘wooden iPhone case’ doesn’t conjure up an image of the sleekest, sveltest way to protect my device, but somehow Etsy seller Substrata has managed to create just that.

Their series of handmade wooden cases for the 3G are shaped and sanded to compliment the iPhone’s curves, and the inside is contoured to hold the phone snugly. Just keep in mind that while your phone is being protected, you won’t have access to any of the buttons.

It looks like there are three versions of the case to choose from, depending on your wood grain preference, and given they’re handmade, the $84.99 price tag is not that surprising.

Apple iPhone TV Coming Soon?

The word on the street is that Apple has specific instructions for its retailers to put all those old iPhone/iPod touch A/V cords on clearance as there’s a new set coming. In fact the new cord will support HD output for Apple TV functions. It will use six RCA connectors which will deal very well with both SD or HD content. Now we need more details about what the new iPhone and iPod touch will be able to do when it comes to HD content. The current model can handle HD videos just fine so what’s the next thing do if it needs new a totally new cord?

Impending AT&T Strike Threatens iPhone Sales

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 05:00:36 +0000

At the moment, the ongoing negotiations between AT&T and the Communications Workers of America (CWA) have expired and there is nothing definite on what to expect. And if there is a victim that will be caught in between these developments, it would be Apple’s widely popular iPhone.

Talks between the two sides turned for the worse as the telecom giant, which earned $12.8 billion in profits last year, threatened major cuts to employee health care. The union balked at the new contract proposal and is now mobilizing its 90,000+ strong workforce for a strike. If a workers strike hampers or shuts down service it will effect all iPhone users.

Apple has an exclusive arrangement with AT&T who serves as the only service provider for the iPhone. If a strike comes to fruition iPhone service could be severely degraded. If the strike lasts for an extended period it could steer many customers to other telecoms.

Trapped by their exclusive contract Apple could watch the strike derail iPhone sales as customers coming off contract turn to other services and, by default, other mobile phones.

AT&T Vetoes the SlingPlayer for iPhone

admin — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:52:20 +0000

Many people have been waiting for the SlingPlayer to be available for the iPhone but that’s not going to happen soon. Why you ask? Well AT&T seems to have a problem with Sling Media’s player so it has requested that it should be rejected from the App store. AT&T vetoed the app as it fears it cause awful bandwidth consumption. On the other hand other handsets sold by AT&T are already using SlingPlayer versions. What about them? Aren’t they consuming any bandwidth?

Hope is not lost though as Apple hasn’t actually canceled the player yet. Maybe SlingPlayer will be given the go ahead after all.

Buy.com starts selling unlocked iPhone 3Gs

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:37:39 +0000

Jailbreaking your iPhone 3G might be cool and all, but it would be more fun if you are doing it without voiding your warranty. Sadly, Apple doesn’t agree with this and is always ready to unleash its wrath upon those who dare to do it, but with MacWorld – and hopefully a new iPhone – looming in the near future, times sure seem to have changed. Buy.com is now offering up 16GB “never-locked” iPhone 3Gs that come with genuine Apple-certified warranty and what’s more, these devices can be updated to the latest firmware without the fear of being locked down by the company. But freedom always comes with a price and Buy.com is demanding a hefty $799.99 for it. Wonder what AT&T has to say about this.

Camera Genius for the iPhone

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:28:59 +0000

Here is a potential solution for people who are having problems with the default camera the iPhone comes with. The app is the Camera Genius 1.3. It adds some worthy features to the iPhone’s bare-bones camera, but the app could use more polish and a more usable interface.

Camera Genius solves a few of the problems inherent in the iPhone’s built-in camera like its poor performance in low light, the difficulty snapping the shutter when taking self-portraits, and its lack of a timer.

The app also offers a neat feature: A sound-sensitive shutter release, so you can program the camera to snap a photo when you and a group of friends shout “Cheese” at it.

The Gravity Shmavity Lite 1.0 has been released today by Panda Mittens, providing a Lite version that includes 5 of 30 original challenges.

Falling apples and other items can then be directed to hit the open, exposed brain of Isaac Newton. Gameplay is further varied by hazards and optional actions by the player, including touching the various power-ups, and shaking the device to cause items to drop faster.

The game also features an up-beat remix of a classic, public-domain recording of a Mozart piano concerto, and combines bright, colorful graphics with a similarly tweaked portrait of Isaac Newton.

Developed with cross-platform development strategies, direct video captures of “Gravity Shmavity” actually show the current tilt of the screen, and further illustrate the gameplay style.

SciPhone i68

admin — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:57:20 +0000

The SciPhone can initially pass for an iPhone, especially if you don’t look at it up and close. Apparently the i68 has taken its design from the iPhone and could be a potential substitute just in case you are looking for something similar.

The Cect HiPhone is the most popular iPhone clone brand right now but a pretender has just arrived that might be able to successfully challenge its dominance. For one thing, the SciPhone model i68 is pretty damn close hardware-wise to what the iPhone looks like.

Specs of the Sciphone (pronounced Sky Phone) include a quadband GSM connectivity, 3.2-inch touch screen with both finger and stylus input, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth (!!), Fm tuner and a G-Sensor for flick navigation. The demo video below shows only a changing of wallpapers when the Sciphone is flicked but it should also be able to change track by flicking.

Qualcomm to Bring FLO TV to Various Smartphones Including the iPhone

admin — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 03:29:54 +0000

FLO TV is a service offered by Qualcomm and from what we hear various smartphones will get it including the iPHone. The service will bring you mobile TV via add-on peripherals including an iPhone 3.0-compatible antenna or chip that’s curently being developed. These accessories might not be available right away and they might only hit the market later next year, but at least we know watching TV on the go is going to be even easier in the future.

Qualcomm will also develop similar gadgets for Windows Mobile phones. All that’s needed is a device that connects over WiFi or Bluetooth to get that TV signal in. What do you think? Would you be interested in such a service? How much would you be willing to pay for it?

Apple buying 100 million flash chips

admin — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 00:36:38 +0000

If Apple clearing its stocks and this can’t convince you that the company has the next iPhone cooking, we are not sure what else can, unless you would like to hear about it from El Jobso himself. Similar to what we saw last year before the iPhone 3G debuted, Apple is now amassing a huge number of 8Gb NAND flash chips, and when we say a huge number, think 100 million, which is twice the amount grabbed by Apple last year. A big part of these 8-gigabit chips (combined to achieve the gigabytes of memory that ultimately make their way to our cell phones) are to come from Samsung, straining the flash chip market almost dry for other vendors. Does this mean that we will see a 32GB iPhone come June? If that’s true, we hope that that won’t be the only improvement over the iPhone 3G we are looking for.

Yahoo Messenger now available for iPhone

There are many alternatives to using Yahoo Messenger on the iPhone, but a native client that comes with the usual dash of purple and yellow should have many Yahooligans foaming at the mouth right now. Most of the features from the desktop version have been carried over to the iPhone’s smaller screen including emoticons, avatars, custom status, invisibility, and the option to send SMS to contacts. The application will also allow sending of pictures clicked using the iPhone’s camera. Minimizing to the background is of course not possible as of now, but we will have to wait and see if OS 3.0 will facilitate that.

Look for it the next time you get on the iPhone AppStore.

iPhone 3.0 Beta 2: Don’t upgrade if want to keep iPhone 3G unlocked

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 04:44:53 +0000

Just wanted to quickly point out something to iPhone 3G users since we received a few messages earlier in the week. Its about the release of iPhone 3.0 and now of course in Beta 2, some who have access to the iPhone Dev Center have been tempted to update.

You will already know what great features iPhone 3.0 offers, the latest release of iPhone 3.0 Beta 2 even does abit more. Firstly, APIs for the iPhone’s Push Notification Service have finally been thrown into the firmware, for some reason it wasn’t in the previous version. Secondly, Beta 2 of OS 3.0 now supports up to 11 pages of home screens of apps as opposed to currently nine.

However, iPhone 3G users whether you are currently unlocked with yellowsn0w or not unlocked but want to keep this possibility open in the future, please do not try to upgrade to the latest iPhone 3.0. If you don’t care about having your iPhone 3G unlocked and don’t think it will be necessary in the future neither then you can.

The reason is as many will know the baseband that iPhone Dev Team’s iPhone 3G unlock application works with gets upgraded once you click on the firmware update button. This to date is still not reversible.

The iPhone Dev Team also warns that using the recently released unofficial QuickPwn is dangerous, yes it may offer a jailbreak solution for those who have updated to the latest 3.0 Beta 2 but it may bring with it serious consequences:

That’s because QuickPwn, by its very nature, requires you to already have accepted Apple’s official IPSW, along with its baseband update. If you do that, you will (possibly forever) lose your ability to software-unlock your iPhone 3G.

It doesn’t look like the iPhone Dev Team will be releasing or updating their existing tools anytime soon, mainly because its unecessary for firmwares in beta which already itself contains lots of bugs.

If you want more information, please get in touch for clarification on anything (if we can’t answer it, we’ll help you ask someone who can) or visit the nice people at iPhone Dev…

admin — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 03:32:59 +0000

With this new application released by iPhoneUnlocking.com, any iPhone owner can unlock their iPhone for use in any network. The latest application is compatible with the latest firmware version 2.2.1 and also the pre release beta version 3.0 due this summer.

The popularity of the unlock iphone 3G option from iPhoneunlocking.com, is down to a simple premise, in that the unlock procedure offered in no way affects the functioning of the iphone, which means that the iphone can be used with full feature functionality including 3G Data network and GPS and also ensures no signal loss, as occurs with other unlock solutions.

Also this unlock iphone method is a safe and reliable way to fully unlock iphone 2.2.1 which is the latest incarnation with the updated baseband 2.30.03 and all other versions of the iphone for use with any SIMcard and any carrier.

For iphone owners, the cost of the iphone deters some from unlocking services due to the problems that can be associated with some of the unlocking solutions and the loss of functionality and features. The solution provided by iPhoneUnlocking.com, is completely safe and 100% reliable, and does not affect the iphone’s functionality, because quite simply it does not involve accessing the internal software or hardware of the unit.
