Ever wanted to control your Mac from your iPhone while still being able to fully customize everything you can do? Sure there are remote control apps out there, but many of them require software on both the iPhone and the desktop (and are rarely free). Brett Terpstra has developed a working PHP script called HomeControl that will let you control your Mac from within Mobile Safari. The experience has a native iPhone look and feel and it mimics the iOS UI controls… Read More
If you’ve been paying attention to pretty much any publication (including MobileWhack) you’ll know that tablets are all the rage. Of course, if you’re an Apple fanboy you’ll have an even deeper understanding of this as it was the iPad that started this crazy. Luckily, there are many tablets on the horizon that look to compete with Apple’s tablet such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab which is powered by Google’s Android mobile operating system. Another tablet that was in the pipeline that many thought would give the iPad a much needed run for its money is the HP Slate powered by Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Windows is not optimized for use with tablets, HP slashed the product and instead destined the device for enterprise use. Today, HP has officially announced the Slate 500 which packs an 8.6-inch capacitive touchscreen display, 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 processor, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of SSD storage, an HDMI-out port which will output video nicely at 1080p thanks to Broadcom’s Crystal HD GPU. All of this hardware will be powered by Microsoft’s Phone 7 professional, so no webOS just yet. What is interesting here, however, is the face that the HP Slate 500 packs a Wacom active digitizer which will allow users to take notes with a stylus. On the camera front we’re looking at a front facing VGA camera and a 3 megapixel rear facing camera. Sounds pretty good if you can settle with a Windows 7 powered tablet, doesn’t it? It can be yours for $799 on a currently unannounced date. We’ll keep you posted. Related Posts

Generally, these concept phones have some factor that differentiates them from the average ones. In this case of the Samsung Jot, it is the rotary dial making a comeback, not to mention the capacitive OLED display and removeable stylus. I’ve yet to see any of the other concept phones become real, and I don’t know whether or not the Jot will come true either. Related Posts

The LG AX310 is, as I said, a flip style phone that offers speakerphone, voice commands that don’t need the speaker, Bluetooth connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera with a 10x zoom and a panoply of options in and of itself, an external smaller screen that displays date, time, battery life and reception, a variety of downloadable ringtones and games via Alltel Shop, text messaging, picture messaging, a phone book with sufficient space for a thousand entries, GPS, USB port, calendar, alarm clock, calculator, hearing aid compatibility, and a battery capable of yielding five hours of talk time on a single charge. The good news is that this phone has a really smooth navigation system. It’s a pretty basic icon-based navigation system that’ll move along with the keypad. Nothing here you likely haven’t already seen or dealt with several times before. The bad news is that the phone is so profoundly basic that it’s not providing anything of much use. A minimal camera, a web experience largely limited to downloads…it’s so basic that there’s next to no reason to even recommend it. Sure, what’s here is very well put together, but there’s so much that isn’t here you can find significantly better phones in literally any of a hundred other directions. If you’re needing simple, the LG AX310 is, however, the direction you’ll want to go in. That’s no problem at all. But if you need a phone to deliver some utility, you’ll want to look just about anywhere else. The Good Simple interface Decent battery life The Bad Minimal features available Score 4 / 10 Related Posts
