iPhone Headset Doesn’t Support Noise Cancellation

If the official iPhone Bluetooth headset is $129, what would you expect it to have? More than just auto-pairing via the dock, right? Well, a reader just told us he called up Apple support and asked them whether the headset supports noise cancellation. They said no. Not only that, they recommended that he buy a…

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…

iWood Case for iPhone Covers Up That Which is Already Purdy

Here come the iPhone cases, and the iWood by Miniot is the swankiest one yet, crafted of some fine-looking mahogany. It has a thin sheet of polycarbonate over the iPhone’s screen that will still let you do the touchy-feely thing for which it’s so well loved, but that plastic will still protect the phone at…

iPhone Stocks Replenished Coast to Coast

Yesterday there were press reports (some say it was all hype) that the iPhone was sold out everywhere in the US except for Pittsburgh and Tigard, Oregon, but now we’re hearing stocks are being quickly replenished all across the country this morning, where at least 74 stores have already shored up inventories for the weekend,…

Knitted iPhone Made of Pure Wool and Love is Shatterproof

Oh Smooth-o-rama. This is the wool version of the iPhone, lovingly knitted by some guy’s mom. Big pic and specs after the jump. Body: Unbreakable Screen: Shatterproof Internet Connection: Poor Memory size: 0 GB Sound Quality: Woolly Ringtones: No iPhone: No Google Maps: No Camera: 5 megaknitzels Price: Cheaper than the real thing My Mom…

New Parallels Ads Ape “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” Spots But Actually Feel Fresh

While poor PC users still get the insulting end of the stick as Mac cozily snags their features, overall these spots feel less mean than Apple’s and surprisingly un-stale. John Hodgman’s presence is missed, but the Mac guy comes across as slightly less smug than Justin Long (probably ’cause he’s way old). Complete collection after…

iPhone Video Conversion

[Rewritten by BL 7/15/07] So far, software king of free DVD ripping, Handbrake, has yet to come out with an iPhone preset, but the iPod one works fine. And remember that Handbrake works on copy protected discs, too. Roxio’s crunch is good for non-DVD, video to iPhone conversion and like Handbrake, it does export for…

OpenMoko’s Neo 1973 Open-Source Smartphone Ships In October at $450 to $600

With all of the hullabaloo last week surround the iPhone, we nearly missed an update on the anti-iPhone, the world’s first open-sourced Linux mobile phone known as the FIC/OpenMoko Neo 1973. The phone has more internal flash memory and integrated Wi-Fi. It will be ready for customers in October, available in $450 and $600 configs…

David Pogue’s iPhone the Musical

NYT tech guru David Pogue is singing the praises of the iPhone—literally—in this musical rendition of the iPhone release. We think Mr. Pogue missed his calling. No pun intended…though for some reason we’re still feeling guilty about it. The back story is that Lam begged him to do a video every other week for 6…

AIM on iPhone Woes? Try eBuddy

All the AT&T calling plans on the iPhone include 200 SMS messages, but if you’re pushing that limit where you’ll have to start paying per message, eBuddy gives you access to regular old AIM on your iPhone. Go to this URL and you can use AIM without paying a per-message charge. It’s not perfect, though.…

Vertu Sort of Announces 3G Ascent Ti Phone

The Ascent Ti, the next phone in Vertu’s overly flashy line, received the dullest unveiling: an FCC filing. Good thing it had enough newness to make up for it. Looks like the Ti is going 3G with UMTS 2100, which means it won’t work on our 3G in the States. It’ll also have a 3…

InflightPower’s Chargers Turns Airplane Headphone Jacks into iPhone/iPod USB Power

Inflight Power’s Airline chargers could be just the thing to save you from total boredom the next time you’re on a transoceanic flight. How? By taking the audio jack in your seat’s armrest and turning that into actual power to charge up your iPhone or iPod (or any device) via USB. The standard USB-capable version…

iPhone Adobe Flash Support Coming

Critics have bashed Apple for omitting Adobe Flash support from the iPhone’s “real life” Safari browser, and with good reason: a quick spin around the Web on an iPhone reveals sites that don’t work, or don’t work well without the plug-in. Now, it’s rumored to be coming, via a quote from Mossberg himself. The question…

Is the iPhone Worthy of Pantsing?

Lam and I are both holed up doing a review that will both move the iPhone conversation forward and cut through all the other half-assed review bullshit we’ve seen so far. No fluff here; this is the review you’ve been waiting for. You’ll soon find out whether the iPhone is worthy of a pantsing.

Very unconfirmed reports say AT&T’s activated over 1 million iPhones already. To put this into perspective, this is the same site that claimed there was an internal AT&T memo telling reps to force accessory purchases. [Waiting for iPhone via MacRumors]
