During their press conference last week, Apple have announced that the iPhone 4 will begin shipping in 17 additional countries or territories before the end of July. However, India was not on that list. Vodafone has previously indicated that it will eventually bring the iPhone 4 to India, but there were no details on when and at what price. Now Sanjay Kappor, Bharti Airtel’s CEO, has stepped in and announced that his company will be selling the iPhone 4 in September or October.

Youtube and iTunes are two famous platforms by two famous and renowned companies. Youtube is a video sharing portal by the big daddy of search engines, Google, and iTunes is a store for Apple’s users to download and install multimedia to their Apple gadgets . Recent news about the hack of both the products was like a shock wave for all. On 4 July, 2010, Youtube was reported to be hacked.

Robert Burden has not only painted an amazingly awesome 10-foot tall painting of Luke and his Tauntaun from Star Wars , he’s made a time-lapse video of his creation to show the entire delicate process he used to create the geeky artwork (in the styling of an old tapestry). To gain a full appreciation for his work you really need to watch the video: If you’re digging Burden’s work, he also has others inspired by toys from his childhood, including Krang, Voltron, Captain America and even Battle Cat in and out of armor. Take a look at the gallery below for more of Robert Burden’s works: [via io9 ]

While Sprint may be rocking 4G right now, and T-Mobile’s talking about their super-fast speeds, there’s still quite a few (and that’s an understatement) folks out there eagerly anticipating the moment they can access Verizon’s 4G network. Better known as LTE (Long Term Evolution), the largest wireless carrier in the United States is all set to launch the service by the end of 2010, with more handsets ready to take part in the faster-data speeds by early 2011.

[Update 7/21: Pulse 1.0.2 was recently released and addressed some of the issues I had with the app, particularly the loading times and scrolling speed.] What Pulse seems to specialize in (and these are my words, not developer Alphonso Studios’) is a more fluid web reading experience, and, at its best, the app feels more like a good e-magazine with customized content than a list of feeds that you trail your finger down.

I have an e-book reader I’m finding that I want to put everything that I have that is on paper into the device: books, magazine articles, users/owners manuals, cheat-sheets, blah, blah and blah. But after spending several hours scanning an out-of-print book that was falling apart using my standard Epson desktop scanner a few weeks ago, my enthusiasm faded. It just took too long per scanned page and I had to sit in front of or very near my desk for several hours. Plus, it required booting up my PC, logging on, waiting for boot up, firing up the scanner software, yada, yada and yada. And yes, I DO happen to be the laziest person on the planet. … [ visit site to read more ] Filed in categories: Desktop Computer Gear , Reviews , eBook Readers and Gear Tagged: Scanner VuPoint Magic Wand Scanner Review originally appeared on The Gadgeteer on July 19, 2010 at 12:19 pm.

Really great Tron socks! Chris Wass designed a chart to use in the knitting pattern , too. Originally designed to be a gift for my big brother, whose TRON fandom and enthusiasm over the release of a second movie inspired the sock design. The pattern is written for toe-up socks, with instructions for the Turkish cast-on and two-at-a-time magic loop after the chart pages. Working the foot of the sock is quick, solid knit work with a few contrast stripes. The excitement comes in with the fair-isle stranded color work around the ankle

In his article about Microsoft’s new Exchange Server feature, Mail Tips , author Paddy discusses the advantages of Mail Tips. I agree with Paddy that this is a beneficial feature that all users within a company will appreciate. With Mail Tips, an end user – who is a sender of an email – will get helpful information before the sender sends out the email to the recipient. Users will get informative messages about their recipient’s status while they are creating their email messages. Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 can notify the sender of any potential problems with the email message or any statuses of the recipient that the sender should know about such as if the potential recipient is out on vacation.

I don’t really know why you would use a 130-pound log as an iPod speaker, but I guess the contrast that this creates between the high-tech looks of the iPod and the rough and rugged looks of the log are kind of cool. Naturally, it’s called the iTree, and was created by the Austrian design studio KMKG . They hollowed out the middle of the log, turning the inside of it into an acoustic chamber to help improve frequency response. Customers can choose what kind of wood they want and the length they desire

Photoforge ($2.99 – review ), which does a better job of mimicking Photoshop functionality than Photoshop.com Mobile , is now multi-tasking enabled. There isn’t any actual background task completion for saving large images, but you can simply leave the app and come back to it to finish saving a file. This newest update also boasts an optimized image processing engine, but it’s honestly been a while since I’ve used Photoforge for me to tell the difference. I’ve recently been using a mix of Camera+ , TiltShiftGen , and Pixelmator on the Mac for my image manipulation needs. © Ragart for Just Another iPhone Blog , 2010.
