Hack

This post isn’t about mobile devices, but since the iPod Touch with VoIP is like a mobile phone, I believe it qualifies. iPod hackers Dr Marian Kepesi, “Eok” and Samuel Vinson have designed and shipped an iPod Touch microphone and developed VoIP software that allows you to place calls using the mic/software combo.

Cute French girl

This is a video of a cute girl from France talking about how much she loves her iPhone and how helpful it is for University. In the video she mentions the following benefits:

  • I can use my mobile Internet to access course notes
  • I can listen to music
  • I can listen to online news to prepare for a lecture
  • I can check where my lectures are located before leaving for school

    • She also says that “it’s true that many sites are not accessible on the mobile, and it’s becoming increasingly frustrating.” After the girl talks about her phone, you can listen to various French experts talk about how the mobile web is becoming increasingly part of our lives and how important it is. I just want more of the French girl. Ah the benefits of being Canadian. Understanding hot French chicks. Lovely.

    HTC Diamond in 7 colors

    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.
