The <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/06/sony-ericsson-launches-retro-stylin-w350i/">W350</a> is a blast from the past for owners of phones like Ericsson's venerable T39 back in the day, offering the rarely-seen traditional flip form factor with a cover that conceals only the keypad -- the screen remains visible at all times. The money feature, though, has to be the cover's shiny music controls, which are offered in a contrasting color to spice things up a bit. You've got a 1.3-megapixel camera hanging out in there, too, and at $29.99 on contract after rebates, we can see it as a sleeper hit for anyone who'd projectile vomit at the sight of even one more free clamshell.<br /><br />[Thanks, rapkiid]<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Sony+Ericsson+W350+-+Electric+Black&amp;q_sku=sku2850346">Read</a> - Electric Black<br /><a href="http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Sony+Ericsson+W350+-+White&amp;q_sku=sku2850347">Read</a> - White<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/sony-ericsson-w350-now-available-from-atandt-too/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1290118/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/sony-ericsson-w350-now-available-from-atandt-too/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=E10gTk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=E10gTk" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=B5BuEk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=B5BuEk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=Hb9Y6k"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=Hb9Y6k" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/370294842" height="1" width="1"/>attericssonflipsonysony ericssonSonyEricssonw350w350aWed, 20 Aug 2008 16:48:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F20%2Fsony-ericsson-w350-now-available-from-atandt-too%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/sony-ericsson-w350-now-available-from-atandt-too/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/370255695/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/is-this-lgs-qwerty-packin-prada-ii/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/is-this-lgs-qwerty-packin-prada-ii/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/lg/" rel="tag">LG</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/08/20/lgs-prada-ii/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/8-20-08-lg_prada_ii.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div> Remember those <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/25/rumored-prada-ii-specs-surface-in-purported-leaked-press-release/">rumored specifications</a> for LG's so-called Prada II?

Here's what were liking so far - no more recessed screen (finally!), that HTC-licensed task manager, and the extremely slick packaging. Honestly, we think Palm might have one up on Apple with the presentation this time around. Also of note: the new modular power adapter (which Palm tragically forgot to throw into our box), earbuds you might not be ashamed to sport, and no install CD -- it loads when you hook the phone up to your PC. Check it all out in the gallery below (as well as a few size comparisons with the iPhone 3G), and we'll have pics of that power adapter just as soon as they courier it over. No, really.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> Palm has -- in fact -- couriered over the accessories they forgot the first time around, and we've added some new pics.

And he asked for fixes to the software so it would lock up less frequently." -- solid work, homey) there's a little tidbit about how Palm OS II and a single new device to run the new software will arrive in the "first half of next year." Two things interesting about that: first, that's a much wider timeframe than the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/14/first-palm-os-ii-devices-to-hit-early-2009-is-it-already-too-la/">"early 2009"</a> window we've been hearing for a while and could signal even <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/15/palms-new-os-getting-more-delays/">more delays</a>, and second, it's a little odd that Palm is going to debut the new OS on just one device. Launching on a single device is pretty Apple-esque, so we'll cut Rubes some slack on that, even if we don't think it's the best idea -- but at this point the only real info we're hearing about about Palm OS II is <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/03/palms-ed-colligan-confirms-no-new-palm-os-till-end-of-2008/">news of delays</a>, and that's not exactly out of the Jobs playbook -- remember, real artists ship.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/technology/20palm.html?_r=1&amp;th=&amp;adxnnl=1&amp;oref=slogin&amp;emc=th&amp;adxnnlx=1219255269-M11+nNlX2mcEr2BAHtO7Qw>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1290311/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=zs2Gn2"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=zs2Gn2" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=FMgZsk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=FMgZsk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=2bREDk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=2bREDk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/370219988" height="1" width="1"/>ed colliganEdColliganjon rubensteinJonRubensteinpalmpalm ospalm os 2palm os IIPalmOsPalmOs2PalmOsIiWed, 20 Aug 2008 14:58:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F20%2Fpalm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/palm-os-2-slipping-from-early-2008-to-first-half-of-next-yea/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/370182018/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/verizon-wireless/" rel="tag">Verizon Wireless</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/verizon-usage-controls.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div> So those Usage Controls we'd <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/17/comprehensive-usage-controls-chaperone-2-0-coming-to-verizon-on/">mentioned</a> Verizon was getting ready to launch have finally gone live, and though it's happening a few weeks later than we thought it would, something tells us the target audience wasn't complaining during the brief delay. The idea, of course, is to help parents lock down the phones of their little ones with support for voice minute and messaging limits, voice and data schedules, whitelists and blacklists, and content filters -- none of which Junior is going to enjoy, we suspect. The service can be had for $4.99 per month on top of a postpaid plan. Separately, Chaperone 2.0 has launched for a more princely sum of $9.99 per month, enhancing the original Chaperone tracking service with the ability to track multiple devices simultaneously and -- get this -- a feature that lets parents plug their offspring's location right into their VZ Navigator-equipped device for turn-by-turn directions straight to the kid.

Somewhat surprisingly, J. Wong says that the device will only be available in white initially (which he apparently likes better anyway), and that it will officially be called simply the M8, and not the "M8 mini one" as it had been officially known before. He also reiterates that the company plans to finally release the phone in October, or November "at the latest."

The phone becomes just AT&amp;T's third to support its <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/MediaFLO/">MediaFLO</a>-based Mobile TV service, taking a similar line to <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/06/chilling-out-to-some-telly-on-the-samsung-access/">Samsung's Access</a> by stuffing a landscape display, 1.3-megapixel camera, and HSDPA into a squarish case that's sure to make minimalists and traditionalists swoon; what's more, it also takes the honor of being AT&amp;T's smallest Mobile TV-equipped handset to date. It's available today for $99.99 with a $50 rebate and two years' worth of commitment -- just be sure to factor the cost of the Mobile TV add-on into your budget.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=4800&amp;cdvn=news&amp;newsarticleid=26022>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/atandt-adds-lg-invision-to-mobile-tv-lineup/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1289957/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/atandt-adds-lg-invision-to-mobile-tv-lineup/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=6SCKiw"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=6SCKiw" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=b7uyNk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=b7uyNk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=GGTEjk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=GGTEjk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/370093552" height="1" width="1"/>attbreaking newsBreakingNewscandybarinvisionlgmediaflomobile tvMobileTvWed, 20 Aug 2008 12:10:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F20%2Fatandt-adds-lg-invision-to-mobile-tv-lineup%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/atandt-adds-lg-invision-to-mobile-tv-lineup/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/370051524/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/analyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/analyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/motorola/" rel="tag">Motorola</a></p><a href="http://www.moconews.net/entry/419-analyst-calls-off-motorolas-funeral-shares-rise/"><img vspace="16" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/8-2-08-happy-motorola-face.jpg" alt="" /></a>It's amazing the kinds of neat things that can happen once you manage to turn lemons into even just a drop or two of bittersweet lemonade. Take Motorola, for example: a manufacturer that's fallen on hard times by even the loosest definitions manages to turn a <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/02/motorola-manages-minuscule-profit-clings-to-bronze-medal/">sliver of profit</a> for itself, and boom, suddenly you've got yourself a <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/04/sanjay-jha-in-at-motorola-as-co-ceo-handset-division-chief/">shiny new CEO</a> and a smiling analyst or two. Jim Suva of Citi Investments seems to be going to bat for Moto at a time when everyone was just about ready to abandon ship, saying that the most recent earnings announcement represented the "early innings a gradual steady improvement", expressing confidence that new CEO Jha's hiring was a good thing, and hooking up the company's stock with a "buy" rating. 'Round here, we judge a company's success mainly by the greatness of its hardware, but you need solid financials to fund the R&amp;D to make said hardware happen -- so we suppose this really could be a solid start to a genuine turnaround.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.moconews.net/entry/419-analyst-calls-off-motorolas-funeral-shares-rise/>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/analyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1289459/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/analyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=fasT1m"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=fasT1m" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=4DWa5k"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=4DWa5k" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=OAR3vk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=OAR3vk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/370051524" height="1" width="1"/>analystearningsmotomotorolaprofitWed, 20 Aug 2008 11:05:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F20%2Fanalyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/analyst-takes-new-line-with-motorola-after-decent-quarter/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/369992503/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/sprint-prepping-motorola-i365-renegade-and-a-pair-of-samsungs/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/sprint-prepping-motorola-i365-renegade-and-a-pair-of-samsungs/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/motorola/" rel="tag">Motorola</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/samsung/" rel="tag">Samsung</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/sprint/" rel="tag">Sprint</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/ev-do/" rel="tag">EV-DO</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/cdma/" rel="tag">CDMA</a></p><div align="center"><img hspace="4" border="1" vspace="4" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sprint-motorola-renegade-v950-slide-sm.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div> Okay, Samsung, we get it: you're really good at pounding out the cheap clamshells.

Skype-to-Skype calls are completely free from the phone, and the Skype service can be kept active by adding &pound;10 (about $19) monthly on a pay-as-you-go arrangement; otherwise, the phone can be had for as little as zilch if you sign up for a monthly plan. It'll work as a broadband dongle, too, which we think officially makes this thing oodles more useful than even the most capable of WiFi phones, skivvies or otherwise.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.techdigest.tv/2008/08/3_skypephone_s2.html">Tech Digest</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/allfeatures/3skypephone/s2/?cm_mmc=google/latsearch-_-EU-RU|RU-_-BD-_-kwid=3SP10010007|creative={creative}>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/3-launches-skypephone-s2/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1289436/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/3-launches-skypephone-s2/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=p7dvVN"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=p7dvVN" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=jyAXJk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=jyAXJk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=2duArk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=2duArk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/369866787" height="1" width="1"/>3amoihutchison 3Hutchison3s2skypeskypephoneskypephone s2SkypephoneS2Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:30:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F20%2F3-launches-skypephone-s2%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/3-launches-skypephone-s2/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/369827313/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/htcs-touch-diamond-pro-are-multi-touch-gods-just-not-how-you/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/htcs-touch-diamond-pro-are-multi-touch-gods-just-not-how-you/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/htc/" rel="tag">HTC</a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/20/htcs-touch-diamond-pro-are-multi-touch-gods-just-not-how-you/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://www.engadget.com/media/2008/08/htc-multi-touch-god.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></div> While multi-touch input might be all the rage in handhelds and laptop trackpads at the moment, alas, it's not on the feature list for HTC's latest <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/touch%20diamond">Touch Diamond</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/touch%20pro">Touch Pro</a>.

Unless this description is positively inaccurate, there's actually a Bluetooth module, speaker and microphone tucked within one of the g.cell gloves. When it detects an incoming call, it gives your wrist a shake (read: there's a vibrate function) and enables you to quite literally talk to the hand. Swany asserts that it'll last for 12 hours on standby (4 hours of talk time), though your phone may crap out a few hours earlier in extreme temperatures.

In layman's terms, that means you can have a fully jailbroken phone running 2.0.1 (and soon 2.0.2, we'd imagine) without the mild discomfort of having to restore your precious sidearm from scratch. The tool's still being developed and is currently only available on Windows, though the team is quick to point out that because QuickPwn operates only on the iPhone's app processor, any screw-ups should be totally undoable. Be that as it may, you know the drill: keep your gloves up, protect yourselves at all times, and let's have a clean fight.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/08/18/quickpwn-pwns-iphone-pwnage/">Boy Genius Report</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/46350708/my-little-pwnie-quickpwn>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/quickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288290/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/quickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=RN0rLd"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=RN0rLd" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=VJIRAk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=VJIRAk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=e6g4Qk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=e6g4Qk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/369526397" height="1" width="1"/>appleiphonejailbreakpwnquickpwnTue, 19 Aug 2008 21:19:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F19%2Fquickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/quickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/369473040/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/is-apple-shooting-in-the-dark-to-fix-iphone-3g-issues/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/is-apple-shooting-in-the-dark-to-fix-iphone-3g-issues/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/apple/" rel="tag">Apple</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/os-x/" rel="tag">OS X</a></p><div align="center"><a href="http://www.iphoneatlas.com/2008/08/18/iphone-os-202-released-fails-to-fix-3g-reception-issues-app-problems/"><img hspace="4" border="1" vspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/iphone-202-fail.jpg" /></a><br /></div> Hopes were high that 2.0.2 would decisively crush the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/poll-hows-your-iphone-3g-reception/">reception woes</a> some iPhone 3G owners have experienced since taking delivery of their <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/10/our-iphone-3g-cracked-too-what-gives-apple/">cracking beauties</a>; dropped calls, latching onto EDGE reception when 3G (also known as "the good stuff") is available, and general signal strength wonkiness have all plagued a select group of handsets since launch, making for a decidedly <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/mobileme-gets-new-leadership-jobs-admits-apple-made-a-big-mista/">MobileMe-like</a> user experience.

Why does 2.0, after two post-launch builds, still feel like a beta? MobileMe took the lion's share of the fall for Apple having spread itself too thin through the launch-heavy summer months, but did some of that fire-drill mentality trickle over to the breadwinner, too? Sound off in comments with your experiences putting 2.0.2 through its paces so far!<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://mobilitysite.com/2008/08/iphone-202-time-to-fire-mine-back-up/">Mobility Site</a>]<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> Apparently Steve Jobs, who should have his face buried in a developer workstation somewhere in Cupertino slaving away on iPhone bug fixes, somehow found the time to slack off for half an hour and <a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/19/steve_jobs_vows_iphone_app_crash_fix_for_september.html">fire off an email</a> to some guy who wrote him complaining about third-party apps that are crashing on startup. Jobs allegedly says that the issue is a "known iPhone bug" and that it'll be fixed in the next update come September -- but frankly, we wish he'd let his assistants attend to this sort of needless communication so he could get back to, you know, writing code and <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/30/the-iphone-patent-steven-p-jobs-inventor/">inventing phones</a>.

It's not for the faint of heart because you've got to reset the phone and delete some files off the computer, but until this supposed firmware update (and possible iTunes update) rolls around in September, it may be the best thing affected users have going.

We've now spotted the S9-HD in a bright white getup with blue accents, a far cry from the black of the model shown at CES (and presumably still slated for launch) or the red of the original, but let's not kid ourselves: this one has a way better chance of finding its way into an ear canal or two.

According to all kinds of tipsters, the BlackBerry <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Bold/">Bold</a> touches down for the first time in North America (in its home country of Canada, obviously) come August 21st (that's this Thursday, in case you don't own a calendar, computer, or have any friends). That's right -- the Bold will land on Rogers (where else?) with a price tag set somewhere between the dark valley of $300 and $400, according to Research In Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie. Reports say the phone will be available from other carriers by the end of the week, though we don't have any definitive rumblings that confirm such heavenly ideas.

That includes the self-explanatory "Strings for fingers" and "Sticks in the air" concepts pictured above, as well as the "Box to play" synth / scratch pad combo, the "Key to touch" foldable keyboard, the "Trio in your hand" scratch pad / sampler, and the "Band in my pocket" device, which accommodates a number of accessories to create instruments ranging from a harmonica to a trumpet.

It seems that <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/video-android-sdk-v0-9-hits-the-internet-looking-almost-ready-f/">yesterday's 0.9 release</a>, which represented the first official SDK available with a platform even remotely resembling what Google intends to release on retail devices this fall, was just the first in a string of goings-on leading up to the grand 1.0 launch in the coming months according to a new roadmap published on the Android site. To start, there'll be "additional Android 1.0 (pre) SDK releases made available, as necessary" in September, followed by the first 1.0-compatible release in the Q3 to Q4 timeframe (that's any time between now and the end of December, for you calendar-disadvantaged folk). Finally, the Android source will leak out in the fourth quarter along with the <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/dream">first "Android 1.0 devices"</a> -- pay special attention to the plural "devices" there -- and an announcement about <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/18/google-unveils-android-developer-challenge-finalists/">Android Developer Challenge</a> II. It gives us a warm fuzzy to see that Google's interested in keeping its devs engaged with these contests on an ongoing basis, because let's be honest: "prize money" has a much nicer ring to it than <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/02/whrrl-first-app-to-get-ifund-cash-infusion/">"VC money"</a> ever will.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.talkandroid.com/146-android-roadmap/">Talk Android</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://code.google.com/android/roadmap.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/google-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288751/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/google-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=T6371f"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=T6371f" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=QwX2Wk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=QwX2Wk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=Pzyjnk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=Pzyjnk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/369175373" height="1" width="1"/>adcandroidandroid developer challengeAndroidDeveloperChallengegoogleroadmapTue, 19 Aug 2008 12:36:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F19%2Fgoogle-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/google-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/369098470/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/the-treo-pro-makes-its-video-debut-inches-towards-launch/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/the-treo-pro-makes-its-video-debut-inches-towards-launch/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/palm/" rel="tag">Palm</a>, <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/windows-mobile/" rel="tag">Windows Mobile</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/treopro1.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div> Now that the <a href="http://engadget.com/tag/treopro">Treo Pro</a>'s been uncovered, the sleek black handset just can't stay <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/16/more-treo-pro-details-emerge/">out of the spotlight</a> -- it's popped up today in several more high-res shots, a quick hands-on video, and even what looks like official press photography.

That's where flash memory giant Samsung comes into play, rolling out new file systems and drivers for its OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND, and moviNAND storage solutions (none of which are pictured to the right) that it claims will slap a turbocharger on boot and access times. The new software is available for basically every major mobile operating system, and Sammy even claims that it'll decrease engineering times, so it looks like it's a win all the way around.<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.physorg.com/news137855949.html>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/samsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1286974/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/samsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a> <p><a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=m8ubih"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~a/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=m8ubih" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=bvfvyk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=bvfvyk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?a=dh3GIk"><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~f/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile?i=dh3GIk" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~4/368854795" height="1" width="1"/>flashflex-onenandmemorymovinandonenandsamsungTue, 19 Aug 2008 04:30:00 ESThttp://api.feedburner.com/awareness/1.0/GetItemData?uri=weblogsinc/engadgetmobile&itemurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadgetmobile.com%2F2008%2F08%2F19%2Fsamsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software%2Fhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/samsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software/http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/368800732/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokias-8800-carbon-arte-takes-luxury-to-the-moon/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokias-8800-carbon-arte-takes-luxury-to-the-moon/#comments<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/handsets/" rel="tag">Handsets</a>,
