The iPhone has had a few projectors launched for it of which they look quite good. The latest that I came across just today is the HypnosEye that although does it’s job of projecting an image, doesn’t look that good. Looks aside though, the HypnosEye is a simple projector that uses a lens and mirror to project images seen on the screen of your iPhone.
No power supply or batteries are needed as it just reflects what’s on the screen on to a wall. For this reason you need to set the brightness of your iPhone or other player at maximum and switch auto-adjustment off.
Quality isn’t great, but in a dark room you will see a larger image on the wall of what’s on the screen on your phone. [click to continue…]
iCarte is a new accessory built for the iPhone that allows it to use near field communications or RFID. The application that you install on your iPhone allows you to configure your iPhone as an e-wallet to make contactless payments. As well as being able to send information to another device, the iCarte is also capable of reading information.
By connecting the iPhone up to an office network, either over 3G or Wi-Fi, you are able to scan other RFID items and do instant tracking on a company database for perhaps security access control, document tracking and asset tracking to name a few things. [click to continue…]
Magellan have launched their iPhone satnav application along with a car kit accessory for using in your car.
The Magellan RoadMate comes at an awkward time just after Google [GOOG] have announced Google Maps Navigation which brings a fancy GPS guidance to Android based phones and with rumours of an iPhone version coming soon (again for free). However, I still think that Magellan have a chance at shifting some units if priced right. A number of people have commented on how high priced the TomTom iPhone dock is. If Magellan can sell that at a decent price then they could take a good share of the market. As of yet, there is no official price for the car kit. [click to continue…]

Yesterday saw the launch of the Apple [AAPL] iPhone on to the Orange network in the UK. The launch came as the O2 exclusive contract came to an end. Reports show that launch day went well with Orange shifting over 30,000 units on the first day.
The amount of phones sold sets a record for the Orange network and as O2 have been the only company allowed to sell the iPhone it must make Orange happy that they can now get in on the iPhone.
In the next few months we will see the Vodafone network starting to offer the iPhone in the UK which will also increase competition on the device. Orange was partly criticised recently for being too tight with their unlimited (limited) download of 750MB/month although with iPhone sales hitting a record for Orange it seems that either people do not know about the 750MB limit, or that they are not too fussed.

Last Friday saw the release of the Motorola DROID which is the first smartphone to run the Android 2.0 OS. Reports are showing that perhaps 100,000 phones were sold in the first weekend of it’s launch. Verizon at the weekend had 200,000 DROID handsets made available and most of the stores sold at least half the stock indicating that perhaps 100,000 were sold in total.
The information came from Mark McKechnie of Broadpoint AmTech Inc who has also indicated that Motorola expect to sell 1 million phones based on Android software this year and 10 million in 2010. [click to continue…]
Just a few weeks ago we mentioned that Adobe had launched Photoshop for iPhone that allowed easy editing of photos on the iPhone. Adobe have now announced that Photoshop for Android is now available that allows you to also edit photos on your Android phone.
Adobe describe the Android version of photoshop as allowing you to drag your finger to crop, adjust colour, apply effects and perform a number of adjustments of your photo. [click to continue…]
Matthew Key of O2 has confirmed that Apple [AAPL] iPhones on the O2 network that are out of contract or over a year old for PAYG will be able to have them unlocked so they can be used on any network.
For those out of contract the unlock service will be free, whereas those with a PAYG iPhone over a year old will need to pay £14.97 for the service.
There is absolutely no truth in that rumour. Once the iPhone becomes available on other UK networks, we will allow O2 customers to unlock their iPhones, although of course they will still need to honour any outstanding contract period they have. At the end of their contract period, they are entirely free to move to another operator – though naturally we hope they won’t want to!

The new Orange Wednesdays app for iPhone and iPod Touch allows you to actually check cinema listings in your area, read reviews and grab a free voucher to redeem while at the cinema.
