Skyfire is a mobile browser which promises to bring a better browsing experience to your mobile phone. Right now it is in private beta mode and unfortunately it is just available for those with a US phone number. As soon as it opens up to the UK I will be testing this one out. The browser says it can go anywhere and get anything which if true, would be a great step up in mobile browsing. |

Currently the good people over at XDA developers are offering $5199.51 to anyone who can create some drivers to fix a problem with the HTC TYTN II (Or Tilt, Vario etc..). The reason they are offering this amount is due to HTC confirming they will not be fixing the slow speeds on the Tytn II. |

Sound and Vision magazine have run a nice comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of OLED, LCD and Plasma screens. With all 3 types of screen being an option it does make you wonder which you want to purchase with your hard earned cash. CES which has just passed a few weeks ago had a lot of TV’s on display which tends to make the choice even more overwhelming. |

OLED (organic light emitting diode) is fairly new to the TV scene. The most noticeable feature with OLED’s is the contrast. This is due to OLED being a self-emitting display technology which requires no back light. Each OLED pixel can be switched on as needed because the tiny cells respond instantly. Also OLED screens happen to be wafer thin too which is an added bonus as well as having a wide viewing angle like the plasma screens. Mix this with HDTV resolutions and the large screen and you are on to a winner.
On the downside, screens are not that big yet and the prices are quite high. But with the screens only really appearing over the last year there is no doubt that prices will go down while screen sizes increase. |

Besides the Parachute Jump and Oil Spill, my abso fav game was the Octopus. So I was really tickled when I came across this, a Japanese modder has modded the game to a mobile phone. |

Although the size of the game is big, he has managed not to make it too bulky; in fact it sports quite a slim form. Moreover, this Game & Watch is fully functional as phone. There is history behind the effort. Apparently the guy’s mom bought him the 2 screen Donkey Kong in NY and they left it on the plane on the flight back home.

n a clear case of identity crisis, the Mustek DV300T camera thinks it’s a cell phone and assumes its form factor. Keeping up the sham it embraces 3.1-megapixel resolution for still images and no optical zoom, features voice recording and doubles up as an e-book reader. If this cocktail isn’t enough, it boasts at being a 6-in-1 thingie, whatever! |
