Can’t get enough movies at home or the theater? Now, Netflix supports its iPad app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Netflix allows you to watch movies either with WiFi or 3G, so you can watch movies on the go. This is a welcoming move as some apps or features of the iPhone limits the usage to the WiFi.

Apple is gearing up to release its iOS 4.1 update that will address the plaguing “antennagate” and proximity sensor issues that some current iPhone 4 owners have been experiencing. From the beginning of iPhone 4 release, some owners have reported dropped calls, no signal reception, and the screen’s inability to turn off when the phone is close to the face. While Steve Jobs explained that there is a “proper” way to hold the phone and bumper cover solutions, some are hoping that this update will fix the problems.
Apple has released two updates since June addressing signal bars and a security hole – both not addressing the antenna and proximity sensor. Some are saying that this update should fix the iPhone 4 to what it should have been upon release in June, but many are hoping that it will fix the issues.
Apple’s recently submitted security patent indicates that it will no longer follow the cat and mouse game with the dev-team. Apple states that the recent move is to protect the iPhone owner from loss or theft of personal data, but the patent also includes the ability to disable any jailbroken iPhones remotely. Jailbreaking is a popular alternative method to install third party apps that have been rejected by Apple. It also allows users to unlock their device and download pirated iTunes apps. The dev-team, main developers of jailbreaking and unlocking applications, exploits the security holes of the iPhone’s operating system and Apple releases software updates to patch the security holes in addition to disabling the jailbreak.
However, the patent explains that Apple has the ability to collect iPhone owners’ usage information, detect any unauthorized applications, and disable the device remotely. Some have raised concerns that the patent also invades personal privacy because it can record videos, iPhone owner’s heartbeat, and voice without the knowledge of the owner. This move comes as a surprise as the U.S. Copyright Office declared jailbreaking to be legal. It appears that Apple is striking back against the jailbreak community, but whether the general iPhone users accept this invasive patent is a question to be asked.

YouTube launches HTML5-enabled mobile website for iPhone and Android, so what this really means is that the iPhone (which doesn’t support flash) can now view videos on YouTube… here’s what’s new:
- It’s really fast.
- The user interface incorporates larger, more touch-friendly elements, making it easier to access videos on the go.
- It incorporates the features and functionality you’ve come to expect from the .com site, like search query suggestions, the options to create playlists, the ability to designate “favorite,” “like” or “unlike” videos directly from your device.
- As we make improvements to Youtube.com, you’ll see them quickly follow on our mobile site, unlike native apps which are not updated as frequently.
Greetings and Salutations:
As the cellular discourse rises and falls with the tide, it’s often reflex behaviour to develop opinions or expectations not based on experience, but rather “hear say” which is precisely what advertisement often is. One persons unsubstantiated declarations with no physical proof. Laying broad claim to, or casting enormous shadows on, services or the competition – here with respect to 3G coverage. Not necessarily device specific, but the latest generation of units will typically perform better overall. Negri Electronics has the widest selection of USA 3G devices available.
Today I would like to present before the court of reality, data gathered “from the field” and will share a quick note on some conditions that actually surprised me…
Sure, the Desire’s coming to a handful of regional American carriers later this year, but what if you want the smaller, sleeker, more aluminum-clad Legend? Well, there aren’t any carrier-branded options in the States — but it seems that a number of unlocked units with US 3G bands are starting to ooze out of the cracks. Negri Electronics is offering an 850 / 1900MHz 3G Legend for just under $500. Check it out here.
The HTC EVO 4G for Sprint is now available for only $615! This is a very cheap price for such an amazing phone… This device has gone 4G (WiMax) network compatibility (which is approx 10 times faster then regular 3G), an 8.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera. It has also got Android 2.1 platform, HDMI output, a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ QSD8650 (1GHz) processor and 4.3” capacitive display with pinch-to-zoom and tactile feedback. You thought the iPhone is ‘all that’ , but this thing is just ‘WOW’… Get yours now from Negri Electronics!

“Being Connected” at one time meant who you knew in a particular situation. Today, it means quite literally “Can you connect to the internet and do X, Y, Z or get 1, 2, 3…”
As the PC amplified our productivity, generated new interests [and at times, pitfalls] it also brought with it a whole other experiential existence bordering on a neurosis for some. Even though cell phones moved from basic calling devices to smart phones, and provided many conveniences such as modem capabilities, there still exists a need for the laptop or ultra mobile pc. With that need [whether real or perceived] comes a very real expectation: “Can I get to my inbox or send that spreadsheet on the fly, etc. ?”
Enter the Wireless Air Card. What a marvel of technology and innovation that can be. Let’s explore some of the advantages over the smartest of phones…
