Sketchy Evidence of iPhone 3.1.3 and iPhone 4.0 OS

BoyGenius points to some sketchy evidence found in their browser logs that seems to suggest iPhone OS 3.1.3 and 4.0 are being used in the wild.

The reason we label this as "sketchy" is that the ability to fake user agents is trivial. Many browser add-ons let you simply type in whatever you would like into the "user agent" field that is being reported. In this case, we also found similar user agent strings in our logs, though they were not originating out of an Apple IP address, but instead out of somewhere in Florida. Little else can be said about the finding.

iPhone 4.0 would suggest Apple is prepping a major OS update. iPhone 3.0 was just released

iPhone 3.1.3 SDK now available (Apple iPhone, development, tools, news, report, tech, update)

Time to update your iPhone SDK to 3.1.3! It's a required update, otherwise Xcode will not recognize or work with your 3.1.3 device. Head on over to the iPhone dev center (developer credentials needed to log in) to download the latest version.

As always, the iPhone SDK includes Xcode, the iPhone simulator, and other tools for developing applications for iPhone and iPod touch. If you want to develop for the iPad, you'll need to join the $99/year developer program and download the 3.2 SDK instead. Search Engine Submission

Nokia N series from 2012 running on Maemo OS


Symbian OS isn't interesting as before, so Nokia plans to use Linux Maemo operating system on N series mobile phones from the 2012th year, which has already found its place on the new Nokia N900 mobile phone.

The biggest problems of Symbian OS is a very difficult application programming compared to the Apple OS, Android OS or BlackBerry OS, so it is no wonder that Nokia wants to switch to Linux Maemo, which proved to be an excellent solution for N series, allowing easy customization of standard Linux applications such as Mozilla Firefox, OpenOffice, AbiWord, and others.

This move would return Nokia N series to life, which slowly losing market share, because competition is already one step ahead, at least as far as software.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz review: Viv A-to-Z (Mobile Phone Review, tech, news, report)


Introduction

Sony Ericsson is an alliance of two tech giants and with phones like the Vivaz it shows. It’s a gadget all the way, one that will galvanize geeks and charm the regular user.

A whole bunch of point-and-shoot cameras today boast 720p video recording, but are they not an endangered species feeling enormous pressure on both sides? For one, there are compact video recording DSLRs pushing down with competitive price tags, and then cameraphones are eating into compact camera territory with comparable still image resolution and video capture.
Eight megapixel still images and 720p video with continuous auto focus make the Sony Ericsson Vivaz a predator of point-and-shoot cameras. The Vivaz is not just a cameraphone though, it’s a smartphone as well – a tricked out Symbian running on a 720MHz CPU with a 3.2” nHD display to show it all off. That’s all in a package more compact than any combination of a stand-alone camera and a phone you can think of.

High-end smartphones have a long history of trading compact size for cramming in one feature more than the competition. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz strikes a perfect balance between being compact and feature-full – great news for anyone who doesn’t appreciate the recent craze of smartphones the size of a table… umm… tablet.
