There is yet another twist in the “lost” iPhone 4G tale. The highly controversial search warrant of Gizmodo’s editor Jason Chen and affidavit (PDF link) has revealed that Brian Hogan’s (the guy who found the lost iPhone in a bar) roommate Katherine Martinson tip has led Apple and cops to the arrest of the iPhone 4G finder. She did this to save herself from any wrongdoings as Hogan used her computer to restore the iPhone OS following the remote wipe by Apple.
The same person who ported Android to the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G is now working on bringing Android OS to an iPod touch (minus calling feature). We were anticipating this one for a while, and hopefully the port will see the light of day soon!
Here is yet another one of those crap-gadgets that are good for nothing. The Sansui P72 is an oversized iPhone clone which is powered by a 1GHz Via C7-M CPU, and backed with 1GB of DDR2 ram and 32GB SSD. It features two USB ports (take that iPad !) along with one that doubles as eSATA, a 1.3 MP webcam, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 3 hours of battery life. The 7-inch resistive touchscreen with 800 x 480 isn’t something to write home about. Oh and this Apple clone runs Microsoft Windows XP, with an iPhone OS like interface layer to go on top of it.
I really don't know what is going on in Vietnam but after getting hold of the 4th-gen Apple iPhone, the guys from Tinhte have now got their hands on an upcoming refreshed version of MacBook, which was first released in October last year. This MacBook identifies itself as MacBook7,1 which indicates that it is running a faster 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from the 2.26Ghz seen in the current models, and NVDIA GeForce 320M with 256MB of DDR3. This graphics chip is an upgrade from the current GeForce 9400M found in MacBook6,1.
Need For Speed: Shift on iPhone and iPad is one hell of a game, with great and stunning graphics along with smooth game play.

At the moment, all we know is that Android 2.2 Froyo will do Flash and HTML5 hassle free, and will be about 450% faster than Android 2.1. But now according to TechCrunch’s sources, Android 2.2 will also bring support for USB Tethering, and the ability to create your own personal Wi-Fi hotspot for sharing the internet on the go! The first one is something which Apple and AT&T are still struggling to cope up with in US for the iPhone users, while the later one cant be done, until and unless you are using a jailbroken iPhone.

According to the latest round of rumors, Pegatron (a subsidiary of ASUStek) is said to have won the bid to manufacture the CDMA version of the next Apple iPhone and that it will be available on Verizon Wireless this fall.

While this could be a Photoshop job, a new “dodgy” shot of the “lost” iPhone 4G in Vietnam has surfaced, which shows the handset running the upcoming iPhone OS 4. It is difficult to conclude on how these guys have tricked the phone into running the OS, considering the fact that Apple must have done a remote wipe following the leak yesterday.
