Testing iPhone 4 FaceTime With Chrysler’s In-Car Wi-Fi

Last Updated on Tuesday, 3 August 2010 03:00 Written by admin Tuesday, 3 August 2010 03:00

We can’t think of anything that would send chills down the spines of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and safety advocates everywhere more than video chatting while driving. While we do not endorse the behavior, two new technologies have made the seemingly sci-fi task possible. The new iPhone 4 has a video-to-video feature called FaceTime, however, both users need to not only have an iPhone 4 but also a Wi-Fi connection. How do you get a Wi-Fi connection into a car? Well, you bolt a Wi-Fi... Detailt »»

AT&T Navigator for iPhone: Review

Last Updated on Friday, 23 July 2010 12:31 Written by admin Friday, 23 July 2010 12:31

I've always wondered why turn-by-turn, voice-guided GPS wasn't on the first iPhone, but now I think I know. Having used AT&T's Navigator and many of its competitors, I can only conclude that a full-function consumer GPS is harder to pull off than a 20-year-old tattoo. Each portable GPS app, service and device has its share of glaring omissions and malfunctions to go along with their inherent utility. AT&T's new Navigator is a solid product with a couple of promising features,... Detailt »»

Apple’s Tablet: Who’ll Buy it?

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:29 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:29

It's less than 24 hours before the big announcement, and we really hope that A pple's got a tablet on the table, because everybody wants one ( even if it costs $700+ ). New research by consulting firm Solutions Research Group Consultants Inc. (SRG) says that almost two-thirds of U.S. consumers (63 percent) are interested in an Apple tablet, and 21 percent are very interested. According to the SRG blog, this is higher than the initial level of interest in the iPhone at the time of its... Detailt »»

Yes, Google Voice for the iPhone is finally here, albeit as a Web app , allowing you to place calls from your Google Voice number, send free text messages and view transcribed voicemails.

Apple’s iPad and the Flash Clash

Apple's iPad has been surrounded by debate since its debut this week. Now, the heavily hyped tablet is at the center of a controversy that's reaching the federal government. This latest iPad beef isn't about the device's frequently mocked name or any surrounding trademark concerns ; rather, it's about the iPad's apparent lack of Flash support .

At the Black Hat Security Conference beginning this weekend in Washington, D.C., security specialists plan to show how fragile the construct of software and hardware can be as they poke holes in the sometimes delicate weave of the Web. Foreground Security's senior security researcher Michael Bailey, for instance, intends to perform live attacks against some of the top Web sites to show they can be compromised by exploiting what he says are design flaws in Adobe Flash.
