The Movie Peg is a neat little idea that allows you to easily prop up your Apple iPhone or iPod Touch to make a more comfortable viewing angle.

Forget awkwardly propping up your iPhone with your bag or that complicated tripod contraption. Add MoviePeg to your iPhone, adjust the angle and like magic you’ll be in relaxed viewing heaven. And it’s not just for movies; use it in the kitchen when following recipes, with the guys watching sports, as a night-stand for your alarm clock, in the garage working through those how-to instructions, or keeping the kids entertained without the evidence of sticky little fingers. No matter how you use it, MoviePeg is your super portable iPhone tilting wonder.

The Zipcharge Quick Charger is another device that allows you to charge up your mobile phone, PDA or MP3 player while on the move.

The device is available over at Firebox where they claim the charger can charge a phone up to four times quicker than a regular lithium-ion charger. Just 15 minutes of charging time is capable of giving your iPod another 20 hours of music playback and a standard mobile phone about 10 hours of talk time. Obviously those numbers won’t match up for the iPhone and other large screen smartphone devices, but for a smaller phone that requires a lot less battery juice to keep running it certainly will come in handy.

If you are after a HTC Desire in the UK and the T-Mobile network works well for you then for £35/month you can pick up the handset for free. T-Mobile confirm on the site that shipping will take up to 7 days which aligns closely with when Amazon are shipping the SIM free variant of the phone.

Another good deal that T-Mobile has is a 24 month contract at £15/month where you can purchase the phone for £129 which isn’t a bad deal at all. With the £15/month price plan you get 300 minutes, 300 texts and the usual unlimited (limited to 1GB) internet connectivity although from my experience with T-Mobile I’ve only got close to the limit once in the last 3 years.

The OTA software update for the DROID by Motorola is TBD reads the message on Verizon’s internal systems, ‘A new date will be communicated as soon as possible.

What this means is that no date is available for the OTA update to happen. Depending on the reasons for delaying the launch we could be looking at days or weeks before the Android 2.1 update arrives. [Read more…]

Some patents have been found that show Apple are working on a new mobile social media networking application for the iPhone. The new software is known as iGroups and allows mobile phone users to easily exchange information more easily. The patent shows that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) have also taken privacy in to consideration.

From what we learn in the patent it appears that both Wi-fi and Bluetooth are used to work out proximity providing a virtual GPS unit. That particular method of collecting your location is if you do not have a GPS enabled device. By using a WiFi connection or Bluetooth with another device it can still provide an approximate location that lets you network with others. [Read more…]
