HiPhone has released another new model, this time being the W008.
The HiPhone W008 has some similarities to Apple products, like the clickwheel from the iPod Nano, or the name of the device itself which is similar to the iPhone. In terms of specifications the W008 comes with dual cameras, a slideout keyboard, and support for JAVA, MP3 and MP4. Another good detail is the “shake-function” so you can browse music in a different way.
We have previously mentioned Computer Choppers in case you wanted a color iPod Shuffle, but now they are doing something better and working with the iPhone.
As the title suggests and as you can see on the image, Computer Choppers decided to add some gold and diamonds to the iPhone 3G-S. Actually it is a limited edition that has 24kt of gold, and the Apple logo has real diamonds.
The first day of the sales of “apple” devices by the British mobile operator Vodafone UK has been of a great success.
The mobile operator Vodafone UK has sold about 50,000 Apple iPhone smart phones in the United Kingdom in just one day. It should also be noted that the Apple iPhone is not a new device for the UK , as its sale is already spread by other operators, as the O2 that also had the exclusive right for selling them for a long period of time.
For an evaluation, the mobile operator Orange UK has sold about 30,000 items of the Apple iPhone on the first day in November last year.
Vodafone UK offers three models – iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS 16 GB and iPhone 3GS 32GB.
It’s known to almost everyone that the Apple company is working on a new version of the iPhone, however any information concerning the creation and the production of the iPhone is still kept in secret, thus the only thing we have to do is to remain contented with the rumors.
This time new rumors are coming from the Telecoms Korea, which say that the new device will be called “iPhone 4G”, whereas the source of the second largest Korean operator of cellular communication company KT disputes that the smart phone will be already released in June of the current year.
It is also reported that the iPhone 4G will be equipped with two cameras, one of which will be used for video calling, with an enhanced battery and perhaps with a module for receiving a mobile TV (if such module exists will only be attached in the Korean version of the iPhone). The tested model of the iPhone 4G may appear at KT in April or May of the current year, as a result there is supposed to be more information later on.
According to rumors, Apple is preparing to present a mysterious device in January 2010.
As newspaper Financial Times has reported referring to its sources, Apple plans to introduce a new development in January 2010. While the newspaper has not specified what the company is preparing to reveal to the world, there are not so many options as the leading contender to release is the mobile Tablet PC.
Let us remind that Apple will not be participating at the exhibition CES, relying on their own events, where, as a rule, the company demonstrates its new products. One such event is Macworld, held annually in San Francisco in January.
Most likely, Apple will try to introduce its mobile development before the FCC will have at its disposal the first models of device and will have an opportunity to publish specifications before the company.

With the saturation of the communications market when it comes to mobile internet, iPhones and Blackberry, it can be very difficult to discern between a great product and a great offer. On first hearing, a ‘great product’ and a ‘great offer’ may sound like the same thing; but if you take a close look at online availability through online blogs and official company websites, it seems that very often a ‘FREE’ handset offer with what appears to be a multitude of other extras is actually a cheap way of covering up a less-then-desirable product.
There is no straightforward way to avoid being duped by the desperate offers and glitzy advertising which peppers every site touting the latest in mobile technology, but it is worth being suspicious of the kind of offers which seem too good to be true. You need to keep it Oscar Wilde: call a spade a spade, and a bad product a bad product. No advertisement is going to point out that a certain item isn’t quite waterproof, or doesn’t quite fit into pockets, or that the screen is prone to scratching or clouding.
If you are serious about finding a phone or organiser which works for you, it serves to do some research before you get to the checkout. Online technology magazines, blogs and mobile telephone websites and customer forums are the ideal place to find out all those things that the manufacturers never wanted you to know.
Despite the rise and rise of the iPhone, many businessmen and professional prefer to keep a network mobile and augment this with a work-specified Blackberry instead. Whilst the advantages of the iPhone are that you can combine work and play in one item, whilst simultaneously connecting to your music stores and online networking sites, this often proves detrimental to efficiency and ease of organisation when it comes to dealing with office emails.
The new Blackberry Curve, amongst other models, has recently been launched by the company, and has a large screen and one-touch key design which make it ideal for anyone who is frequently required to email whilst out of an office environment, or without a computer. Similarly, with networks such as Vodafone, there are various packages which can tailor your contract with the product to suit its use either with an individual or as part of a business package. Check out the Vodafone site for more on their blackberry.
