I am really sorry to say that one of the best mobile phone mods I have ever seen doesn’t work. But wow, imagine if it did? The steampunk styled phone uses a binary punch-card system to dial numbers. I wonder how difficult it would be to slip in some real phone parts and have the punch-card system work. It would be perfect for my 90 year old grandfather.

Ohad of Mobile Game Developer Magazine posted a great video of a Bluetooth remote controlled car that uses the accelerometer to steer. If you want to know more about the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, here are some ways of getting updates:

Matt “W4LNUT” Cameron (see contributors page for bio) and I made this video for the guys at mobipad. They also made a sweet video showcasing the product. Our videos are complimentary and showcase different elements of it. Our video would be the viral video hype, while their video would be a great TV ad. Check out our video and let us know what you think.

QuicklyBored reader Pascal tipped me off to this iPhone unlocking service. Apparently he’s had it unlocked for the past 6 weeks and it’s working just fine. His comment was in response to my posting about Rebel Sim which also purports to unlock the iPhone 3G. Apparently that service doesn’t work so well and this is the good stuff. Let me know if anyone feels the same way.
I’ve had an iPhone 3G for a few months now and the battery life is starting to really get on my nerves. If I use it like a normal phone, I’ll probably get 2 days of life out of it. But who wants to do that? If I’m watching YouTube videos and using the iPod feature, I rarely get to 6pm. With Mophie’s Juice Pack, you get up to 350 additional hours of standby, up to 6 hours of 3G talk time (or 12 hours on 2G) and another 6 hours of web surfing. Now THAT is the type of iPhone usage I want.

Being from Canada and having the winter season soon approaching, I’m curious to see how my iPhone will hold up. I remember hearing back in the first gen iPhone days that cold weather makes the screen useless. I’ll be able to finally test this out. OR, I could just grab a pair of these Freehands leather gloves, and not worry about a thing. I know this has sort of been done before with Hot Paws and their mittens that convert to biker gloves, but this is for the tech geek in all of us.

iPhone App - Heart Monitor from John Ballinger on Vimeo.
This is a great app for anybody who is an athlete in training, or someone who simply wishes to monitor their health via heart rate. I would not recommend this app for someone with severe heart problems and needs accurate readings on a daily basis. The app was developed by John Ballinger and makes use of the iPhone’s microphone capabilities to detect heart rate. The app is available for $4.99.

In this video, Norwegian iPhone developer Erik Kristiansen has apparently developed an application that will let you boot into Windows Mobile on your iPhone. Gearlog has gone ahead and called shenanigans on this story, saying they’ve made some calls and exposed this as a viral internet marketing campaign. My question: Why this video? What kind of marketing is this? (Okay, so the second question is really more of an exclamation of disbelief.) Have any of you tried out Sonic Emotion? Is it worth all this attention?

Wow - this is unexpected. Remember when the HTC Diamond made its first appearance in white and we were surprised? Check this out!
The good news? Looks like the HTC Touch Diamond is going to be available in seven different colours: White, Blue, brown, pink, yellow, purple, and red. The bad news? Looks like the HTC Touch Diamond is going to be available in seven different colours… IN FRANCE.
Hooray for France! Booo for the rest of us. Still, they look pretty slick. I’ll take one of each, please.

This looks like the gaudy jewelery that my grandmother wears so I would never buy one, but I see a market for it. Techno savvy grandmothers and crystal loving baby boomers would love this piece. I haven’t tried it out but I was at the local Swarovsky store buying for my girlfriend and they told me this has just come out. I would love to see them trick out my iPhone. Actually, I’m going to call them about that now. Don’t remember the exact price, but I think it retailed for abotu $150.
