iPhone & LG KE850: separated at birth? - Engadget

So we know the downfalls of the iPhone (trademarked name still in dispute with Cisco), but did you know that the International market already has the LG KE850 which is VERY similar? Oh, and it supports third party apps and Exchange ActiveSync. Um, yeah, I'll take the LG please.

A Closer Look At The iPhone

A Closer Look At The iPhone

Here's a video of the new Apple iPhone that was announced at CES 2007...

iPhone Demonstration

Ok, I know this announcement was 3 days ago, so I apologize for being late on this. Of course we all know the iPhone was announced at CES 2007 by Steve Jobs. I'm confused as to how they are calling it the iPhone when Cisco has rights to that name, but I'm sure we'll see how that plays out soon. Anyway, here's a hands on look at the iPhone. Some of these features are incredible. Some of the drawbacks include:

Only 2MP camera (why not 5?)
5 hour talk time (although it does have 16 hours for music)
No expansion slot (get the 8GB model and that's as far as you go)
No 3G (They are using Cingular EDGE for some reason, when 3G has been out for months)
No removable battery

The news to me is that the introductary price point is only $399. That just means the lower capacity hard drive prices have to keep falling, which is great news for everyone.

Avis offers Wi-Fi in rental cars

Wi-Fi Is Hitting the Road in Cars From Avis, but Technical and Legal Bumps Lie Ahead - New York Times

$10.95/day for Wi-Fi in your rental car. As expensive as this may sound, it's actually cheaper than many 24 hour Wi-Fi deals at nicer hotels in big cities. I think this has the potential of really taking off if the technology works...
