I’m really suspicious to all things said and showed on the internet, and this video is not exception. Somebody please pinch me as this video from 1994 talks about electronic newspapers.

We see newspapers going to e-publishing thanks to success of tablet device, iPad from Apple in particular. But this video talks about future more than 15 years. Just to put this into perspective: 7 years before release of Mac OS X, 5 years before release of Mac OS 9, 3 years before release of Mac OS 8, and a year before release of Windows 95. Read »

hotspot_20110308Ok, I’ve been waiting for this one for a while now. Ever since I’ve learned that Verizon would introduce Personal Hotspot I hoped that Rogers would follow this as well and not block it.

Now, it’s official: iOS 4.3 on Rogers has Personal Hotspot that lets you connect up to 3 devices to share your cell phone data.

Here is a set of photos courtesy of Engadget from iPhone OS 4 Preview Event, video from Apple coming soon.

In short, there is: multitasking, folders to organize your applications and get a hold of multiple screens. New features in Mail including: unified Inbox, multiple Exchange accounts, threaded messages and ability to open files in apps.

I must say multitasking looks pretty sleek and hopefully will not drain battery as my iPhone used all my battery by the end of F5-Expo yesterday.

Below are the photos from the event:

Engadget has a story about Scrabble App for iPad and Tile Rack App for iPhones. All three devices, once tethered, become old school Scrabble game.

From Engadget:

We just paired up a couple iPhones (running the free Tile Rack app) and joined in with the iPad over Bluetooth or WiFi (the app makes it unclear as to which particular wireless tech is doing the honors at the moment, but both work) and in moments we were swiping tiles up to the iPad with the best of them.

I came across this interesting dock idea on Engadget. While there is nothing beyond nice computer rendring of this product, it is rumored to be release at China Sourcing fair happening sometime in April.

While it can charge your iPhone, you can also use it instead of crappy speakerphone and that knob adjusts volume, while mute button is on the top.

No info on pricing nor availability of this “Desk Phone Dock” available yet.

I can see this thing on my desk….

According to Engadget, next version of iPhone, sometimes referred to as iPhone 4G which has nothing to do with 4G as in Sprint 4G, to be called iPhone HD thanks to it’s higher resolution display 960×640 up from 320×480 of the current 3Gs model.

Other features to include:

• Front facing camera
• Apple’s A4 chip (surprise!)
• Multitasking, originally scraped from 3.x version

Engadget also mentions release date to be June 22nd.

Just when as you getting more excited, there is a rumor that there will be Verizon version of the iPhone as well. Only us in Canada don’t really care that much, we have 4 providers to choose from (well, fine, 3 as Fido is Rogers)

First it was Macbook, now it’s iPhone that took off the ground and flew away.

Well, actually, it’s a bit different. Macbook flew due to 3d rendering, iPhone due to RC controller. Check out this cool video of crazy guys who strapped iPhone to the belly of RC plane.

iPhone has troubles focusing and you might reduce volume, as it’s just bunch of static noise once it takes off.
