Latest by Gizmog: Riqgeez, the entire point of this phone is so that AT&T can have a lower-end phone that supports Mobile TV. People who want a higher-end TV phone will obviously be drawn toward the Vu. Not every phone in a carriers more »

Screenshots of ACCESS Linux Platform (The Next Gen Linux-Based Palm Treo OS?)


Here are some new ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP) screenshots from Linux World. Interesting for the sake of the idea of an alternative mobile OS, like OpenMOKO's, but also because Treonauts believes that this'll run on a Treo arriving in 2008. We'll see. [Treonauts]

Latest by MegaZone: Yeah, Palm has stated that they will *not* be using ALP but will be relying on their own in-house Linux-based OS. Also that the Linux-based platform will not be out until 2008. The Foleo is a different matter more »

Remote Control Your Mac With Your iPhone

One of the things on the iPhone wishlist is being able to use it as a universal remote for your Mac and your Apple TV, but this Telekinesis webserver app meets us at least halfway. By installing this app on your Mac and hitting up the webserver, you can load up pages that allow you to do screen capture, control iTunes, browse your files, run AppleScript, take an iSight image and even do some basic typing.

If you've managed to buy yourself a Sony LocationFree to stream your TV to wherever you are, you might as well hock up another $19 and watch shows on your Windows Mobile phone as well. NetFront's LocationFree player for Pocket PC lets you stream MPEG4 over the air—or more likely, over Wi-Fi—from your Sony LocationFree at home to your phone on the go. More »

Palm Licenses Palm OS Garnet (OS 5) Source

Access, the company that through a combination of money, witchcraft, and the fact that nobody else really wanted it, got their corporate hands on the Palm OS source code a while back. Since this is same source that's used to power your Treo 650/680/700 smartphones, Palm (the company that makes the hardware) has been worried about how it could take its phones to the next OS level. That is, until now. Palm's just announced a non-exclusive agreement to license the Garnet source code for their upcoming PDA/Phones for $44 million. More »

Latest by Doctor_Memory: When Palm "makes" a next-gen OS? They already have one, it's called Windows Mobile, and you can buy Palm phones based on it right now. Based on this acquisition, I'd expect Palm to have a Garnet compatibility layer running on more »

Blockbuster Online's 'Total Access' Lets You Return DVDs To Stores

In an effort to stop competitor Netflix from totally crushing it, Blockbuster Online is instituting a "Total Access" plan that lets you return online-rented movies in stores. When you give them your rental, you get one free in-store rental, which works just like regular in-store rentals and carry standard late fees restocking penalties. More »
