The iPhone Dev Team spoke at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin recently of their success, their progress and amazing achievements of their role (and tools) so far in the ‘enhancement’ of the iPhone. Surprisingly, many members of the team had actually never met before, despite this, they gave a wonderful presentation and quite alot of valuable insight (some quite technical too) into their findings and experience of hacking the iPhone, watch the video below…
The video is approximately an hour long, so make sure you’ve got some free time!
Here’s one of the latest videos of the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds to be posted onto the internet. Just to recap, it made its debut earlier this month (don’t be confused with its sister W700 though) it is powered by a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU and comes with 4 GB of RAM and NVIDIA Quadro FX3700M graphics. It’s a dual screen laptop, so the primary display is a 17-inch WUXGA with a 1920 x 1200 while its secondary is a 10.6-inch WXGA with a 768 x 1200 resolution. Watch it in action after the break.
2009 is not very far away, we can’t wait to see what wonderful technology 2009 unfolds. Just out of interest, here are GadgetLite’s top dogs of the year, below is our top ten mini roundup of the most popular tech and gadget topics this year…
Watch phones have been on the market for a while, produced by third-rate hardware manufacturers and sold at sites such as ThinkGeek or IWantOneOfThose. Interestingly, LG thinks this has an expandable potential for the future and has announced its new 3G watch phone LG-GD910, it comes with a 1.4-inch touchscreen, text-to-speech capability, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio and a music player. It’s 0.6 inches thick, water resistant, works over 3G HSDPA 7.2 data networks and also features video conferencing, voice and video calling – that’s alot that it can handle.
The concept of this dream iPhone Pro is not from Apple MacWorld 2009, in fact, it originates from Giz reader Mat Brady. It is hopefully something that we do expect to see coming from Apple in the future.
For those who have used iPhone will know it offers excellent features, however, it’s not perfect. It doesn’t have a good enough camera, it lacks a proper physical keyboard and the storage is not enough for some users – this is exactly where iPhone Pro comes in!
Gizmodo thought the concept from Mat’s iPhone Elite is great but could be better by modifying the keyboard, for example, adding a direction pad and two buttons like the Nintendo DS. Therefore, this is an iPhone with a high quality camera, a front camera for iChat, video capability, 60GB storage and lastly a slide-out keyboard with a D-pad.
