Boy Genius Report had little proof that the Steve Jobs e-mails, which it received from a source called “Tom” (now known to be Jason Burford), were real. E-mail headers can be faked easily, and before the blog was called out on sloppy journalism, after Apple PR had denied that e-mail exchange was genuine, BGR did not even bother to post photographs of the headers. Today, the site is uneqiuvocally stating that the e-mails are real, and that Apple PR has apparently lied to the public. More »

Mobiado, from my own backyard of Vancouver, is not the one asking the question about its beautiful Classic 712EM cell phone –I am. Although technologically unremarkable, the 712EM’s charm is in its aesthetics and attention to detail, the finer qualities of life. The iPhone 4 looks shabby beside the Mobiado, which probably has few antenna issues too since Canadians, Americans, and everyone else can safely use it with a good GSM/WCDMA carrier. More »

It also boots Windows CE, but no one cares about that. Witstech’s 7-inch (800×480) Android 2.1 tablet that houses a solid 600MHz TI OMAP3430 is going for the sum of an 8Gb iPod Touch but has far more capabilities as a multimedia player. More »

Apple has officially acknowledged that there is a software (but not hardware) problem with the iPhone 4, whose bars representing signal strength are inaccurate. After extensive “retesting,” Apple has found that the antenna design is fundamentally sound, and that a mere software update will alleviate some of the problems that AT&T customers have been experiencing. Consumer Reports writes that there is “no reason, at least yet, to forgo buying an iPhone 4 over its reception concerns.” More »

£999 is a great price for a number of gadgets, such as a high-end LED television, a workstation desktop, or an antique Rolex Datejust in decent shape, but a thousand quid for a gold-plated 16Gb iPad is extravagant. What does Amosu Couture think the iPad is, an iPhone 4? More »

Cisco is investing abundantly into video and will release a video chat program based on Movi for the iPhone 4. Additionally, Cisco plans to introduce a technolgy called the “Media Experience Engine” to add Adobe’s inescapable Flash to the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch and other devices through the use of a network based service that transcodes video from one source onto another. Essentially, a device with MEE would not need Flash to view its content. More »

Barely having time to settle itself into Verizon’s strong roster, the Microsoft KIN, which was supposed to smarten up cell phones (but instead dumbed down smartphones), has been canceled, although current stock will (probably) be liquidated. European launch of the KIN has obviously been canned. More »

Motorola’s Droid X is stirring quite a ruckus among smartphone connoisseurs and is bound to be a big seller for Verizon. The full-page New York Times advertisement that Verizon took to promote the upcoming phone is informative and derisive, as it makes fun of the iPhone 4’s ongoing antenna reception problems. More »

Stuart Hughes is back again to offer a non-existent £12,995 white iPhone 4G with diamonds. I wonder how long it would take for Hughes to deliver the unavailable white 32Gb iPhone if someone put down £12,995 today. More »

Unlike Sony, whose console does not hinge of the reception of its motion controller Playstation Move, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 future seems to be tied firmly to Kinect, whose specs, now revealed, are wimpy. More »
