Techotic Gadgets

Everyone knows that the stupid four digit numeral pin on the iPhone is one of the crappiest security features ever. So I wasn’t surprised to find this article on Engadget and CNET explaining how to break the pin. Now I’m not posting this for anyone to steal an iPhone and try and break the lock (El Steveo is watching you), but I will tell you to show you why you should trade in your iPhone for a Blackberry Pearl as soon as possible.

The iPhone is a must have status symbol? Well if Apple counts it as one (among others) than I guess they are totally realistic in thinking that they will get 3.5 million of these devices sold in Russia for a reasonable price of $990 all in two years.

In case you have been noticing that your iPhone 3G has been running out of charge more often due to your extended Youtubing or 3G browsing than you might want to try Brando’s Power Station Charger. For only $25 you can get one of these little guys which can bring your battery from 10%-60% in an hour. Spending $50 on two of these guys will ensure you have that emergency charge to call home and make sure your mother-in-law is gone by the time you reach there.

Looks like Apple is working on some type of patent that would allow you to stream your iTunes library wirelessly to your iPhone. From the looks of things this wouldn’t be available for you iPod Touch users as the service would require an EDGE connection to work as wireless networks are not fast enough to accommodate it.

That is what it is. And those behind it are not denying it. A cleaver marketing ploy used by many a companies has now been used to market the iPhone in Poland. Wait a minute, I though that the name “iPhone” was enough to sell the device. I guess all those 3G problems have been taking their toll on its PR.

You did not read that wrong. But I will include a video in for you to see for yourself. Apparently over Wi-Fi the Bold is a tad slower than the iPhone, but over the network it goes faster thanks to a combination of 3G and EDGE. Video can be viewed below.

I’m not about to say that the Omnia is going to kill the HTC Touch or Sony Experia worse the iPhone, but this phone does pack a powerful punch and is a great competitor to all three. Number one it carries one of the best phone OS available (WinMo 6.1) and while you might think of the outdated GUI that plagues WinMo phones let me assure you that this phone has done a damn good job of covering up the ugly duckling.

Lets face it, the Mylo has not been doing good business since it was released. For one, it is competing in a field dominated by cell phones and two those who would buy one is not interested in in only using hotspots and Wi-Fi to chat to their buddies. So why did they change the device description from a “personal communicator” to “Internet device” beats me.
