iPhone Hacked to Run Android 2.2

If you are stuck with an old iPhone but wish you had an Android device, there’s a way to combine the two, creating a smartphone with the body of the former and the brains of the latter. A recent hack shows how to run the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 2.2 aka FroYo, on Apple’s iPhone 3G. The mod still has a few bugs and isn’t stable enough for everyday use, but it’s a first step towards creating a hacked Android operating system for the iPhone. Android 2.2 isn’t widely available on devices yet. Google made the operating system official last month, and while it’s available to developers, it hasn’t made it to many customers. A few Nexus One users are the only ones to have gotten the upgrade

Rumor: Next Sony Ericsson Android Phone Called "Shakira"

Found under: Sony Ericsson , Android , Walkman , Shakira , X10 , Mini , Sony Ericsson is said to be working on another rumored Android handset this one is codenamed Shakira but unfortunately it is not as sexy as the singer and right off the back the phone looks dead already. I personally believe Sony Ericssons own added touch to the Android OS ultimately spoils everything for them.Look closely and you might mistake the Shakira for the Sony Ericsson X10 or X10 Mini but it is neither you can say it is the mid-ranged version of both phones sadly we h Read More Read more in mobile format

Rogers launches the Nokia N97 Mini

It looks like Symbian freaks based in Canada who already have the N97 from Bell will be able to get themselves a new plaything this summer, as Rogers is launching the  Nokia N97 Mini . The device isn’t actually for sale yet but is rather being shipped out to dealers across the country, but barring any last minute chances it looks like the outright price of the N97 Mini has been set at $499.99 while the 3-year price is $99.99.

lightleafs oled bookmark concept: please make these now.

This simple concept design for a bookmark is absolutely brilliant – both figuratively and literally. Designer Valentina Trimani’s Lightleafs light-up bookmark would use a bright OLED light source, and not only would mark your pages, but provide sufficient illumination to read in bed with the lights off. The proposed design not only calls for a wireless, rechargeable lightsource, but would also offer adjustable brightness. I really do hope that Valentina finds an OLED partner to produce these.

little old lady demands removal of google pac-man

Now I didn’t realize that anyone actually needed tech support on how to use Google, but this audio recording from somebody’s granny demanding removal of Google’s recent Pac-Man game is just too funny to ignore. Click to View Embedded Video Clip I love the part where she says she needs to “turn her monitor on” in order to reproduce the problem. The tech support guy on the other end of the line clearly has the patience of a saint. I would have been spitting out my coffee and trying to control my laughter

Converting VHS cases into project enclosures

The VHS tape box has gone the way of “Be Kind, Rewind” stickers. But Swiss maker Christoph Zimmermann noticed that his logic analyzer fit neatly inside one. This makes this part extremely cheap and as you have seen on the pictures, your LA will look way cooler than any of your other measurement equipment. I went to a thrift shop to find VHS cases with nice covers or skins.

T-Mobile myTouch 3G to get official Android 2.2 update

Not long after it pledged to update the myTouch 3G to Android 2.1 , today a leaked document from T-Mobile revealed that the carrier is planning to further kick it up a notch with the release of Android 2.2. In addition to that, myTouch 3G owners will also get an updated version of the Faves Gallery alongside the addition to the Genius button and support for Exchange. No word yet on when the update will actually drop, but we imagine this update will involve at least a little bit of an agonizing wait. Read

Apple announces AT&T will waive contract requirements and crashes AT&T’s website

Section: Apple , Communications , Cellular Providers , Smartphones While giving his keynote address at WWDC yesterday, Steve Jobs mentioned that AT&T will relax its contract requirements for those wanting the new iPhone. “Any existing iPhone customer eligible for an upgrade between today and the end of this year will be eligible for our best pricing for iPhone 4, $199 and $299, with a two-year term commitment,” AT&T said in a statement issued shortly after Jobs left the WWDC stage. Not long after the news broke, AT&T’s website crashed. The account management section became completely unreachable, presumably due to a rush of customers trying to check their eligibility. For several hours the site returned a variety of error messages from “Maintenance in Progress” to “No backend server available for connection: timed out after 100 seconds or idempotent set to OFF.”


DUO 128 Elite, 4 bit CPU

We’re not sure how we missed [Jack Eisenmann's] 4 bit TTL CPU when we were tipped off the first time, but we’re glad it was sent in again for us to feature it. 41 different ICs (mostly TTL) come together to comprise the DUO 128 Elite. While the architecture is a little different than what we’ve seen before, using “nyckles”, the DUO 128 Elite still works perfectly.
