The makers of the Smart car have now created an iPhone application designed for cars that will allow users to turn their iPhone into a useful device while people are driving down the highway. The point of this iPhone application — supposedly called “Smart” — is to provide access to critical tasks you would need to perform in a car, and it provides an interface useful for drivers (big buttons, easy to use navigation, etc). …

Like many iPhone-touting certified Apple fanboys, I was extremely curious about Windows Mobile 7. Microsoft literally can’t buy themselves a successful product, but this doesn’t look like a phone born in a boardroom. Did I make a mistake? Did I back the losing team? Of course not. While Windows Mobile 7 looks promising, it is clearly still playing catchup to Apple market leader. Microsoft may fight the tide of Apple’s domination, but in the meantime you can happily use your iPhone, and even sample the visual flare of Windows Mobile 7 at the same time. A DeviantArt member has created a theme for (presumably)…

As we sit back and watch Apple slowly try and take over the world, it doesn’t help that application developers are quickly assisting their efforts. I’ll make a prediction that in ten years time, somehow the iPhone will be able to drive your car. This way you can sit at home, drive your new Apple electric car to the Apple grocery store, have an Apple grocery store employee fill your car with food, and drive it back home. All while watching Apple TV through your MacBook. Does it seem far fetched? Who knows, but five years ago, I didn’t think I would be able to control my household electronics with my cell phone….

One of the newest and SIMPLEST gadgets out there for your Smartphone, is the MoviePeg iPhone dock. Coming in an vast array of colors, it will allow your iPhone to situate almost any way you can imagine. Just like My Applecore, this is one of those inventions that we shake our head at thinking, “Someone is getting super rich of something as simple as that. Why didn’t I think of it?”. For those of us who use our iPhone as our alarm clock, now we can actually prop it up on our nightstand instead of it getting lost in our bed. Thanks to the MoviePeg, you can take away that contraption you built using duct tape and…

Apparently, the Taliban have been outwitting Australian forces in Afghanistan by using a relatively inexpensive tool of war: the iPhone. Can someone explain to me how while I can barely get a signal in downtown Toronto, the middle of a desert is getting coverage enough to wage war? According to Australia’s Department of Defense chief technology officer Matt Yannopoilos, “bad guys” are “using iPhones and applications — and multiple SIM cards — and going much faster than we are.” Despite the military having more intelligence, the iPhones allow near-instantaneous transmission…

iPhone fanatic and sound engineer Tom Freeman merged high quality sound recording and mobile tech couture by mastering an entire album on his iPhone. In the mobile age, it isn’t just web browsing and email that’s going out and about. Tom Freeman’s iMatik is a mix album of electronica and samples, carefully blended together with a percussion track, synthesizer and bassline, all accomplished with a device that fits in his pocket….

Apple’s top of the charts when it comes to touchscreen quality, according to this study by MOTO Labs. It’s about accuracy, but there are many more metrics – pressure sensitivity, performance around the edges and waviness of the lines drawn. It’s also not about hardware – some of the phones tested use the same components. The firmware, software and calibration all play a strong part too….

You know you’ve made it when the US Army knocks at your door to ask for help. And that’s exactly what happened this month when Major General Nick Justice and several members of his staff traveled to Cupertino to discuss using Apple’s solutions in the field. Major General Justice leads the US Army’s Research, Development, and Engineering Command. He’s considering dumping some of the Army’s proprietary systems in favour of consumer products, including Apple’s army of mobile solutions. Apple gave its Army visitors a much-coveted tour of its labs and talked about how the military is…
