iPhone 4’s seams explained, ready to solve AT&T call issues? (video)
Posted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsWhen we first exposed the iPhone 4 to the world, many of you were skeptical about its authenticity. Frankly, so were we, initially anyway. A device with black seams disrupting its otherwise clean lines just couldn't be from Apple, a company notorious for its obsessive design aesthetic. Well, now that the iPhone 4 is official, Steve took a moment to explain that the stainless steel band is actually an integral part of the iPhone's antenna system -- one part dedicated to Bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS; the other larger half to UMTS and GSM. Something that, according to Steve, has never been done before in a phone. We'll have to wait a bit before we know whether this "brilliant engineering" translates into fewer dropped calls for frustrated AT&T customers. But it's hard to imagine that Apple would take the time to show its antennas to developers if there wasn't a downstream reward for consumers. Remember, Steve did say last week that things "should be getting a lot better soon" on AT&T. Click through to hear Apple's loyal software developers ooh and aah over the iPhone's really cool ability to convert electromagnetic radiation into electrical current, and back. Amazing.

BlackBerry Bold 9650 sales kicking off on Verizon this week?
Posted on May 31, 2010 | No CommentsWe can't vouch for the authenticity here, but a shot over Berry Reporter alleges that Big Red will finally start taking orders for the Bold 9650 via direct fulfillment this week -- on June 3, to be exact. Considering Verizon's time-honored tradition of being all over RIM's latest CDMA releases on the double (probably because their development is funded largely by Verizon's orders), we're actually kind of surprised it's not on shelves already; it's possible that Sprint negotiated a short, sweet exclusivity period for itself just to get a little bit of a head start, we suppose. Anyhow, if you don't want to mail-order this thing, the shot goes on to say that you'll be able to check it out and buy it in stores on the 10th of the month, so hold tight.

White front plate looks all set and ready for next-gen iPhone, or not
Posted on May 19, 2010 | No CommentsAs our extensive KIRF library shows, China's one wild country that can make almost anything you
don'twant, so don't mind us while we inspect this new finding with extra caution. This particular Chinese online seller not only claims to have parts for the next-gen iPhone, but also one white face plate -- something not seen on iPhones thus far. While we drool over the thought of an all white Apple handheld, there are still questions to be answered here: the seller wasn't able to explain what that silver bit above the speaker is, nor have we seen white back plates to match this. Furthermore, we were given a "maybe" for a bulk order of 15 to 20 units, which is quite a lot for something that's not even out yet, but we were told over the phone that there's always a back door to Foxconn as long as you wave cash at someone. Not that you should engage in such risky business, plus this piece's authenticity will be revealed in about three weeks' time, anyway. One more shot after the break.

Video of Next-gen iPhone Emerges
Posted on April 19, 2010 | No Comments
Over the weekend -- as is the tradition with upcoming iPhone models -- photos were leaked that purport to be of the next-gen (G4) iPhone.
Engadget originally released them, then thought they were fake, but now claim that they are, in fact, genuine. It seems quite likely that they are genuine, especially as Gizmodo has just released a hands-on video of that very same leaked device, and claim to have had it in their posession for a week.

Video: Okay, now the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta has been jailbroken
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No Comments
Late last night, we put up a post debunking the idea going around the Bloggerdom that the iPhone OS 4.0 Beta had already been jailbroken, because, well, it hadn't.
But now it has.

Motorola Motus spied, snapped by the worst camera in history?
Posted on November 19, 2009 | No CommentsGiven what we've heard and seen so far, we wouldn't say we're "excited" about the upcoming Motorola Motus -- it's just a midrange Android set, after all, and the Droid has taught us that Moto's capable of so much more -- but a spy shot's a spy shot, and we'll take what we can get, right? We can't confirm the authenticity of this positively awful photo spotted on motofan.ru, but it looks roughly like what we'd expect for a 2010-spec Android phone designed to appeal to the masses. The usability of that trick keyboard is an open question -- the Droid has already proven that the company isn't afraid to sacrifice a little usability for +5 points in the thin and sexy departments, so we'll just have to wait and see where this puppy lands.

Rumors on the Internet: The Prince of Persia movie will be in 3D, but rubbish 3D (Update: Wait, no it won’t.)
Posted on September 14, 2009 | No CommentsWords cannot describe the anticipation all of CrunchGear feels for the upcoming Prince of Persia movie, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. You may remember him from... nope, nope, I have no idea who he is, either. But anyway, news! Despite the fact that every two-bit Hollywood movie these days comes in 3D in some capacity, well, Prince of Persia is no different. There's a catch, though.

iTunes 9 to support Facebook social playlists, third-party devices?
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No Comments
The authenticity of these screenshots is questionable, but we wouldn't really be doing our jobs if we didn't share them with you. So, what does iTunes 9 have to do with Facebook? According to the screenshots shared by BGR, the next iteration of iTunes will allow users to share playlists via Facebook. And then there's something about third-party hardware support. It's hard to see, but the second screenshot shows a Samsung YH-J70 popping up in iTunes. What's strange about this is that iTunes says it has 27.86GB of memory, but the J70 MP3 player ships as a 20GB device. We'll find out next month for sure.

Eight Cylinders of Pencil-Sharpening Action, And a Pizza Cutter
Posted on June 23, 2009 | No CommentsToday’s “waste of plastic” award goes to two items. A tag-team of tat, if you will. In the red corner, we have the Top Gear V8 Pencil Sharpener, a product with such a dearth of features that one of the spec-sheet bullet points reads “It is made of plastic.” It’s exactly what you’d expect: an electric [...] -
Dell’s Android phone pictured?
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No Comments
Is this Dell's upcoming Android-powered smartphone? Hmmm? It does sport a Dell logo on the bottom chin. And it does seem to be running Android. Still, there isn't anyway of verifying this pic's authenticity so we'll just add this bad boy to Mr. BlurryCam's portfolio.
