The Traveler 137 smartphone

Windows Mobile fans, did you really think PhoneDog would forget you? Yes, MacWorld broke open this week, but there’s also the Consumer Electronics Show and its diversity of goodness. To get a jump on CES, Pharos, a location-based services provider, officially debuted the Pharos Traveler 137 smartphone on Tuesday. So it’s not exactly the sexiest phone, and slightly chunky at a half-inch wide, but it’s certainly not bad. It’s the brains, however,...

Kogan Agora in Action

I hope I didn't mislead you with that title. This is not the mythical "G2," as in T-Mobile's G1 successor. This is, however, the "G2" as in the second Google Android phone to hit the market. Kogan's Agora and Agora Pro run Android and are set to ship at the end of this month. Here's some rather poor footage of what looks to be a rather awesome phone in action. I found this clip, I didn't shoot it - the video comes from YouTube user...

iPhone as heart/cardio monitor

I should exercise. No, really — I need to back off from the keyboard, take the Twinkie out of my mouth and go for a run or something. I should, but I don’t. Working out has never given me big results, so I simply stopped. That I’m not 200 lbs by now is a factor of genetics (thanks, Mom and Dad!) and decent nutrition (minus the occasional junk food jones). Still, walking to the grocery store and getting lapped by the senior citizens in my hood is...

Yellowsn0w success reports

Before you drop the bills for the no-contract price, check out the reports from other users on the efficacy of Yellowsn0w. For those who don't know about Yellowsn0w, its the Dev-Team's un-locker for the iPhone 3G. I wrote about it (with video) a week or so ago, before the release.

iPhone slideshows, Keynote app

Feeling let down about the keynote address at MacWorld? Yeah, me too. Phil Schiller did a decent job, but he’s not the showman that Steve Jobs is. And the biggest phone-related news had to do with DRM-free tunes and 3G music downloads. (While a step in the right direction, it’s certainly not game-changing — after all, Amazon has had DRM-less tunes for ages). Through all this, however, it may be easy to overlook that there were a couple of kinda...
