After signing up at Soonr’s site, installing the desktop software from an emailed link, and installing the […]

• ?Red? 3G phone spotted, but beware: it?s a fake
by Philip King

French tech site Nowhereelse has their hands on some photos that look suspiciously like a Red version of the 16GB iPhone 3G.

However, it’s lacking the telltale (RED) badge, making this pic’s authenticity dubious at first glance. And our immediate suspicion was later confirmed, as you’ll read…
Also, it could be the way the pic was […]

• Vestalife releases unique Jewelbox iPod/iPhone speaker dock

The Jewelbox is the second new Ladybug-inspired product from Vestalife; the other is the equally slick Firefly.

The only differences in this one are the shape and the absence of a built-in subwoofer. The red is a bit more subtle on this model, however, making it suitable for professionals and adults.
The design is slick and […]

It seems the unlock program for the latest version of the iPhone firmware had a number of issues, and the Dev Team have released a new version that seems to have fixed a number of issues “including some STK issues”, according to the developers of the unlock.

The previous version, released a few days ago, had […]

Want an iPhone but can’t wait for the UK release? Well as with anything if you are prepared to pay a premium to be the first among your friends to get an iPhone then the good news is they are available to buy in the UK today.

The bad news though is currently you won’t be able to use all the features of the phone including making calls as they are all currently locked to the US service provider AT&T. It is possible to use the iPhone as an iPod and with a Wi-Fi connection as hackers have been working hard and have found ways to activate these services without the need of a service contract from AT&T.

I’m sure it is only a matter of time that hackers will have figured out a way to unlock all the features of the iPhone including the all important ability to use any service provider’s sim card and phone facility and reports on the internet suggest this is only a matter of hours away.

So if you can’t wait anymore and are prepared to take a risk of being able to get these fully unlocked or are happy with an expensive iPod with Wi-fi then below is a list of what is available to you today.

How Charley has avoided eviction again I do not know. Last week it was because of Big Brothers meddling with the voting but this week you can’t say that.

Maybe Charley is getting a rough ride on the editing of the show and in reality is a really nice girl? I’d be surprised though. She is just a time bomb waiting to happen and could explode on you at any time.

So now the choice is between Laura and Chanelle. Not too difficult a choice. Anyone who lounges around all day in a Leopard skin dressing gown that doesn’t know what it’s like to be washed deserves to go.
