iPad UI gets ported to the iPhone and iPod touch

1/31/2010 01:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments


At this particular point, 50-something days away from the earliest iPad deliveries, we doubt too many people are up in arms about the iPad's ability to act as a jumbo iPhone. On the other hand, if we told you you can take pretty much the entire iPad experience and distill it down to your iPhone OS device, well you'd probably care a lot more, wouldn't you? To get that extra 3D flavor to your UI, including the fetching iBooks shelf and other iPad-specific touches, you'll need a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch, access to the Cydia app store, and the manpower to click past the break for the full instructional video. Come on, you know you want to.

HTC Trophy gets clearly pictured: QWERTY/touchscreen WinMo candybar

1/31/2010 01:04:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

HTC’s 2010 smartphone roadmap may have skewed heavily toward Android, but that wasn’t to say the company were planning to abandon Windows Mobile altogether. The first clear render of the HTC Trophy – a Windows Mobile 6.5 candybar with a 3-inch VGA capacitive touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard – has leaked, and despite the OS it looks to have potential.



Update: Too good to be true; this isn’t HTC’s work but that of ElCondor from xda-developers; somewhere along the line his watermark has been edited out. He’s done a great job, too: compare it to the fuzzy image in the leaked roadmap. If the Trophy looks this good in real life, we’ll take one! [Thanks Sohaib!]

1/30/2010 01:33:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments

It's like celebrity gossip magazines and websites are actively engaged in a bet over who can make up the most ridiculous Angelina Jolie gossip item this week.

With this latest rumor - that Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga were lovers - celebrity gossip has officially hit a new high. Or low, depending on your perspective.

According to Ian Halperin, author of the recent lie bestseller Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, that's precisely what happened.

Jolie, who is reportedly bisexual, Lady Gaga, a rumored hermaphrodite, had a secret rendezvous at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel that lasted all night, he says.

“Angie is obsessed with Lady Gaga,” a source said.

Aren't we all. That definitely confirms the affair!

Last week, In Touch spoke to Anna Kowalski, a housekeeper who worked at the Waldorf-Astoria in NYC, who claimed Angelina had sex with a dialect coach.

Rihanna: One Year After Assault

1/30/2010 01:32:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Rihanna doesn't dwell on the past. She's got the tattoos to prove it.

Along with the Grammy Awards Sunday comes the unfortunate reminder of last year's incident with Chris Brown on the eve of the music biz's biggest night.

But the "Russian Roulette" singer is focusing on the future. To that end, on Ellen today, Rihanna expounded on the latest of her "approximately 13" tattoos.

"It reads, 'Never a failure, always a lesson,'" the 21-year-old said. "Basically, it's OK to make a mistake, just don't make them twice." Words to live by!

Which, naturally, leads to questions about her current status in the land of love, where she has recently been linked to baseball star Matt Kemp.

Windows 7 On an iPad? Yes You Can

1/30/2010 01:31:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Want to run Windows 7 on the new Apple iPad? Citrix says it will soon be possible--at least virtually--using a new version of its Citrix Receiver software.

Promised to be ready when the tablet computer ships in March, Citrix says the new software, based on the current iPhone version, is a response to questions about how the iPad might find a home in the enterprise.

"If your company has XenDesktop or XenApp you will be happy to know you will be able to use your iPad for real work as well," wrote Citrix Vice President Chris Fleck in a company blog.

"It turns out the 9.7 inch display on the iPad with a 1024x768 screen resolution works great for a full VDI XenDesktop. Windows applications run unmodified and securely in the data center, and even multiple applications at once."

Citrix says the iPad's larger screen solves many of the challenges users' faced because of when using the iPhone with a virtualized Windows desktop. (Which sounds pretty painful, if you ask me).

iPhone OS 3.2 has support for video calling, file downloads, and SMS

1/30/2010 01:30:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


The iPad may not have a camera in its current incarnation, but Apple's at least laying the foundation for one: we just confirmed with extremely trusted sources that iPhone OS 3.2 contains rudimentary support for video calling, which could explain that mysterious space at the top of the device in our leaked pics. We're told that there are hooks to accept and decline a video conference, flip a video feed (which suggests a front-facing camera) and -- most importantly -- run the video call in either full screen mode or in just a portion of the screen. That means you'll be able to chat and do other things at the same time, which could mean there's at least some type of multitasking going on here.

iPad Aftershocks: Apple's "Netbook" Is Screwing Netbook Makers

1/30/2010 01:30:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 1 Comment

The iPad is Apple's netbook. It's small, built for the web, and cheap. Which is a problem for the people who make actual netbooks, since they wanted to undercut Apple. And it's hard to get cheaper than glorified smartphone guts.


Originally, according to Digitimes, Asus and MSI wanted to undercut whatever the iPad would cost by 20 to 30 percent, but that was when they expected it to cost $1000, which made it kinda easy. It's a lot harder when the entry price is $500 for the iPad, thanks to the fact it's using essentially mobile guts (the A4 chip is the beefiest component, it seems, and it's designed for smartbooks, so it's lower power than anything in a full-size netbook).
