An interesting mobile partnership to watch could be the freshly announced pairing of Crisp Wireless and Verve Wireless The joint venture aims to help deliver “rich media ad options” to local media outlets, like newspapers. Illustrating yet again the massive influx of mobile advertising efforts to the local level, regional advertisers and publishers will now have the chance to leverage the media mobile ads that Crisp Wireless has been powering for national mobile sites and apps. Verve Wireless, of course, can push the Crisp Mobile Ad Platform within the company’s massive international network of better than 700 newspaper publishers, which include such heavyweights as the Evening Post, Examiner.com, Freedom, McClatchy and Media General. According to the joint statement from both companies, the ads will be interactive and serve up nifty attributes like location awareness and click-to-call – all of which will be customized for use on smartphones and other portable devices running either Android or Apple’s iOS (like the iPad)

As the Windows Phone 7 technical preview device makes the rounds of the blogs, I must admit I am becoming more hopeful as I listen to what Microsoft is saying and they way they are behaving. They have been making very clear that the software version that people are reviewing now is not the final version and that they are still taking feedback, carefully reading all reviews and working 26 hour days to improve the software.

If you can remember all the way back to the dim and distant pre-iPad era, you will recall there was a great deal of speculation as to what Apple was going to call their upcoming “giant iPod” device. The initial frontrunner was the iTablet, which was surpassed by the iSlate when some Apple that term while trying to describe what was to come.

It’s hard to keep away from Apple these days, as the iPhone continues to hog headlines for all sorts of reasons. But looking at facts and figures, it would seem that whilst the iPhone 4 antenna has been the focus of many over the last few weeks, it hasn’t had much of an impact on the overall success of device, in terms of sales. Overall sales of the iPhone, in all its variations, came to 8.4 million, an amazing 61% increase in year on year numbers. The iPhone 4 accounted for over 3 million of these, and most manufacturers can only dream of producing a handset that sells in such high numbers in such a short space of time. Without doubt the negative views in recent days will have had an impact on recent sales figures, and we can only wonder at how many more sales there would have been had the whole AntennaGate issue not erupted

Overclock HTC We told you guys about LeoCpuSpeed to overclock the HTC HD2, now the devs behind the app have released Msm7kCpuSpeed a windows phone app to over clock older devices. Saw this app on windowsphonehacker.com . The developer could successfully over clock his Raphael from 57MHz up to 710MHz. And he claims the app can clock it even further, but it depends on the quality of the processor in your device.

This one just leaves me scratching my head. Sharp has announced that they are planning on entering the ebook reader market in a big way with a new product…but which will likely only read an obscure propiratary format only used currently in Japan. The reader is intended for release first in Japan, but Sharp is then planning on bringing it to the US and is in talks with Verizon about it.

A great deal of news about Apple today. Of course first and foremost the internet is buzzing about today’s earnings announcement, in which Apple breaks all records with a nearly 90 percent increase in revenues from this quarter last year. More than 3 million iPads sold in the quarter, more than 8 million iPhones…the numbers are dazzling. Apple knows that…and will be telling us so every chance it gets. Of course these numbers are not totally unexpected.

Coveroo is already doing it for the iPhone 4 and other devices, but Pexagon is the first to offer a customized iPad case. For just $24.99 you can order an iPad silicon case with your own logo printed on it. You can also add an extra two lines with 20 characters each, to the design. The case itself is kind of boring and black, but you can choose from several colors for the logo and text – pink, white, green, red, purple, blue and even “glow”.

The TouchTec pen is a new product from the creators of the TouchTec gloves that we are super crazy about. The TouchTec Pen is a “Multi-function Capacitive Touch Screen Stylus and Ball Point Pen”. In other words, it’s a pen that also can operate as a iPad/iPhone stylus. There are quite a few iPhone/iPad compatible styluses out there on the market, but what makes the TouchTec Pen unique is that it also doubles as a pen

If you though that the Wine Rack Bra was a silly way to stash alcohol, the Racktrap is almost as silly, but perhaps more useful. The Racktrap is essentially a portable pocket designed to wear in your bra. The pocket holds credit cards, keys, cash, and maybe an iPod Shuffle? And who knows what else! But as silly as the Racktrap might seem, it’s actually ideal for runners and women in marathons

After last week’s “they do it too” from Apple regarding the iPhone 4’s signal problems; Nokia and Research In Motion have responded to Apple’s claim. The Antennagate seems to continue forever. Had Apple resisted the urge to hit back, with childish justifications for what is clearly a hardware design flaw and replaced the faulty units; this would have been water under the bridge by now. Instead, now Nokia and Research In Motion (makers of BlackBerry smartphones) are hitting back hard defending themselves for an unjustified attack from Apple. First was Nokia’s rebuttal, then RIM’s but both have pretty good points to make.

We recently got a hands-on with the upcoming EyePet Move game for the PS3. Although the game is really aimed at kids and families, the game is so unique that it is sure to appeal to all types of gamers. The concept of a virtual pet has been done and redone over the years in video games, but EyePet Move takes the virtual pet concept and integrates with the latest cool video game technologies – such as 3D gaming and the power of augmented reality by utilizing the PlayStation Eye Camera

Hubba-hubba, here is one gaming laptop that is a true beauty! What we especially like about the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d Core i7 15.6″ 3D Gaming Laptop is that unlike many gaming laptops out there that have overly masculine designs, this one should especially appeal to female gamers with its neat purple tribal design. But aside from its cool lid, the laptop also sports an impressive spec list: Weighing under 6 lbs, the IdeaPad Y560d features TriDef 3D technology, it’s bundled with Polarizer 3D glasses, JBL speakers, OneKey Theater II, Dolby Home Theater sound, 4GB of ram, a 500GB hard drive, and a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 card. The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560d is on sale today for $1,146.65 after $452.35 off

BGR is reporting that Apple is sending out iPhone 4 customer satisfaction surveys to a select group of people who have purchased an iPhone 4. I must say, Apple is really up to something. Some of the questions were: What is your age? Our records indicate that you own an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4

Nokia today unearthed an innovative concept phone named Kinetic that could stands up to alert users on incoming calls, emails, and text messages. This cool concept phone was developed by British designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins. How the Kinetic works is by having an electromagnet built into a curved base that shifts the weight of the phone so that the phone could roll up or roll down when receiving an alert. “It makes receiving a call, text, email or alarm more playful by converting digital information into kinetic movement,” Innes-Hopkins said. “The stand up feature also has potential for video calling, without the need to hold your phone.”

We have seen a lot about WP7 over the months from the initial launch to the hands on reviews by the select few tech blogs . Granted there are flaws in the OS ( multitasking , copy-paste are the most talked about ) and there are some great features like xbox live integration ( that will never come to other devices like the iPhone or Android ), sharepoint integration , etc. We should see some exclusive 3rd party game titles some time in August
