Versand von iLife '09 läuft an
Auf der Keynote zur MacWorld San Francisco 2009 hatte Phil Schiller unter anderem auch die neue Version von iLife vorgestellt.

Diese Angaben waren offensichtlich richtig, da uns zahlreiche Leser darüber informiert haben, nun endlich die Versandbenachrichtigung erhalten zu haben und s

Acer patent application reveals a MID-filled future
Now that the netbook sector is good and saturated, Acer is carving out a spot for itself in the entirely less crowded MID market. Or, at least that's the impression we get from its most recent patent application. The image you see above is about it for details, though it's fairly safe to assume that an Atom (or similar low-power CPU) will be housed within. Who knows, maybe we'll get a peek of this critter for real at CeBIT -- you can bet we'll be looking.[Thanks, Chris]Filed under:

Multiple Windows 7 versions coming? Say it ain't so!
These pictures supposedly come from a new build of the Windows 7 beta, 7025. It goes without saying that while we knew this was a possibility, we've been seriously wishing against it.

iBluetooth to bring file transfers to Jailbroken iPhones
You know that Bluetooth chip in the iPhone is capable of doing wonderous things, right? It is able to do A2DP stereo wireless and EDR Bluetooth file transfers. For some reason (battery?) Apple has decided to leave these features out of the software.
Never fear, MeDevil has found a way around Apple software limitations and is building a hack that will allow file transfers called iBluetooth. It will be in your Cydia iSpazio repository "soon".

So können Downloads der Beta, die bis zum 10. Februar begonnen wurden, noch bis zum 12. Februar beendet und bis zum 1. August 2009 aktiviert werden – ursprünglich lief die Frist am 24. Januar 2009 aus.

Verizon gets official with Network Extender: $249, no monthly fees
Right on cue, Verizon has launched its very own femtocell into the world: the Network Extender. For those unfamiliar, this here box connects to one's broadband internet connection and essentially acts as a mini cell tower right in the home. In other words, it'll make your at-home VZW coverage absolutely amazing. Unlike Sprint's AIRAVE, though, there are absolutely no monthly fees attached -- simply plunk down $249.99 up front and watch your signal improve. As for limitations, you can only use this within the Verizon Wireless Enhanced Services coverage are

Bandai's latest handheld helps women "understand" men
For the longest time now, we were under the impression that it was men looking for miraculous ways of understanding woman. Clearly, we've had the whole thing backwards. Bandai has apparently polled thousands of opinionated males in order to fill its latest handheld with data that woman aged 20 to 30 will pay ¥2,499 ($28) to know. In all seriousness, we can't imagine this thing having a very good search mechanism, so its actual usefulness is definitely questionable. One thing's for sure, though -- handing one

Es schien kaum noch möglich, aber das vergangene Quartal sorgte für einen Erdrutsch bei den Zune-Verkäufen. Microsofts MP3-Player versucht sich seit mittlerweile zwei Jahren als iPod-Konkurrent zu etablieren, doch statt den Absatz zu steigern, brachen die Umsätze in der vergangenen Weihnachtssaison erneut um 54 Prozent ein. Dagegen schaffte es der iPod, einen neuen Rekord mit 22,7 Millionen verkauften Geräten zu setzen.

AMD sees distinction between netbooks and laptops vanishing
Before you get all riled up, remember, this is just a man in a suit speaking his mind. Got it? Good. On AMD's most recent earnings call, CEO Dirk Meyer casually confessed that "the distinction between what is a netbook and what is a laptop is going to go away," and he continued by saying that there would be "a continuum of price points and form factors." Now, we're not about to believe that the whole netbook category will simply dry up and vanish in the near future -- much to the chagrin of Psion Teklogix, we assume -- but it's not like we haven't heard equally odd remarks from the CEOs of

Cheetah Ultra Sports reinvents the snowboard, wants $1899 for it
We've already seen the skateboard get re-engineered this year, so why not its most closely related, snow-loving cousin? Cheetah Ultra Sports has apparently developed the Whip F-117 after four solid years of research, development and taking oodles of time off to hit the slopes. In short, it's dubbed the Lamborghini of snowboards, promising to make riders go faster, feel lighter, turn quicker, edge harder, carve sharper and be broker. Yeah, we're just kidding on that last one, though the $1,899 price tag may just disagree. The board is only available in limited quantities due to the hand built nature, and obviously you'll have a difficult time trying one before you buy. So

Zusätzlich erlaubt MenuTunes die Konfiguration von eigenen, systemweiten Tastaturkurzbefehlen für iTunes, stellt auf Wunsch ein schwebendes Statusfenster bereit und bietet eine eigene Sharing-Funktion für lokale Netze.

Google-Phone G1 doch mit Multitouch dank erster Hacks
Als heißer iPhone-Konkurrent wird derzeit das erste "Google-Phone" G1 gehandelt, das ab Februar auch in Deutschland bei T-Mobile erhältlich sein wird. Ein genauerer Blick auf Googles Android-Plattform lässt jedoch eine wichtige Funktion vermissen: Im Gegensatz zum iPhone fehlt die Multitouch-Steuerung - bis jetzt. Denn erste Hack-Versuche zeigen, dass sich der Einsatz von zwei Fingern auf dem G1 doch lohnen könnte.

Jolicloud: the OS your netbook has been screaming for
See that? That's what could be on your netbook later this year. Out of nowhere, one Tariq Krim has crafted the Jolicloud operating system, which is an OS designed specifically for those miniaturized laptops that rely on underpowered CPUs and less RAM than any PC should be booted up with. In essence, Jolicloud is a modified flavor of Linux that promises faster boot times than other alternatives, and judging by the shot above, it's pretty heavily reliant on icon-based navigation.

ASUS execs said to be infighting, potentially launching competing brand
ASUS has been riding the Eee wave pretty high lately, and although things seem going pretty well for the powerhouse company, there might be some storm clouds in the distance -- Tweaktown's got a long piece translated from the Taiwan-only Business Today which hints at some exec-level infighting going on at the top. It's pretty in-depth stuff, but the main takeaway seems to be that ASUS's spinoff of its OEM manufacturing business as Pegatron ruffled a few feathers, leading Pegatron chairman Tung Tsu Hsien to apparently start thinking about launching his own consumer brand called PEGA Design to take on ASUS -- especially interesting since we just saw some

Furthermore, Tesco's Mini 10 order page is now completely nonexistent, further signaling that a serious mishap occurred somewhere along the line.
