From Htcyou: Garmin is renown for GPS and navigational equipment, but its smartphones like the Nuviphones have been underwhelming. The Asus built Garminfone is a T-Mobile Android 1.6 smartphone with basic hardware and an emphasis on GPS usage (notice the dashboard mount). More »


What I find even more entertaining than the iPhone 4G prototype leak is how Gizmodo’s lack of journalistic integrity has impelled the blog to endeavor self justification that is failing, big time. Following the reader comments on two Gizmodo lectures about its cleverness and open-mindedness, one cannot laugh at how a majority of its own fans are frowning upon the site. More »

From Htcyou: Google’s Nexus One and Motorola’s Droid have enabled multi-touch for months now, but they fare far worse than the iPhone in this regard. The main reason for the sub-par multi-touch performance of the Nexus One and the Droid is that they both use Synaptics ClearPad 2000 sensors that are not designed for multi-touch. Reviewers are thrilled with the Droid Incredible’s multi-touch accuracy and with good reason –reportedly, HTC has incorporated true multi-touch sensors from Atmel for the Droid Incredible and the incoming Sprint Evo 4G.

Well, at least Gizmodo’s $5,000 payment for the stolen iPhone prototype captured over 4.2 million visits to the page. I hope that Gizmodo got its money’s worth and enjoyed its fame because Apple has grounds to sue the blog for purchasing stolen merchandise. Writer Jason Chen professes innocence and says that they did not know the prototype had been stolen (yeah right!), yet the law does not require buyers to be aware of a commodity’s legality. Gizmodo is also in danger of facing California’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act. More »


Gizmodo’s video tear-down of the purported Apple iPhone4G” (4th generation, not WiMAX) do not provide much new information that we did not previously surmise was coming. Some aspects of the prototype do not represent known Apple design and engineering philosophies, so the finished iPhone that should be unveiled at WWDC will probably look somewhat different. More »
