An external keyboard for the iPhone
December 31, 2008
For a positive need, I think that “mainstream approach” keyboard for the iPhone or iPod Touch is helpful. “If you want to get a bit more typing done with a bit less cluttter, you’ll no doubt be quite a bit more impressed,” as Engadget wrote.
How it works?
The keyboard (it’s a standard Freedom Universal Keyboard) uses the Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port) profile to talk with a Robotech Bluetooth module ( www.tigal.com/product.asp?pid=1124 ). that module is placed in a modified iphone battery sleeve and connected to the iphone serial port. The jailbroken iphone runs veency (a VNC server) and a tiny libvncclient based VNC client for keyboard event injection to whatever application you use.
Someone asked: What will that do whether I highlight something and push CTRL + C and soon after CTRL + V? LOL

December 31, 2008
I think that forecast will add more fuel to rumor of an iPhone “nano”. An analyst revealed that Apple will likely offer a new iPhone in the first half of 2009 that “a lower-cost version of the iPhone is coming … possibly in mid 2Q.”
Is it a iPhone “Nano” that’s been discussed on various sites? “We believe that device is on its way,” said Friedman, Billings, Ramsey analyst Craig Berger.

More Versatile Mac mini Tipped
December 31, 2008
Word has it that next week’s Macworld Expo will be the launchpad to a much more versatile Mac mini, but we will take that piece of news with a grain of salt since Apple is traditionally very good at keeping their cards close to their chest, rarely revealing anything before major announcements are made officially. It seems that these new models will feature a revised enclosure that can be found in the higher end products from Apple, including aluminum and black plastic. Some have additionally speculated that SATA optical drives and hard drives will have a role to play in the new Mac minis, while others think it will additionally involve a move towards NVIDIA chipsets, throwing in a Mini DisplayPort and being able to address up to 4GB of RAM. What do you think?
