Flash plug-in for Safari or standalone player?
Damian Koh | Mar 24, 2008
Nary a week passes without some form of Apple news. Last Tuesday, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen's comments to investors during a conference call were widely reported as the company building a Flash player for the iPhone. It turns out that things weren't as straightforward. Narayen has clarified that the company still requires Apple's approval to include the player in the App Store.
While Adobe isn't willing to comment on the development of the elusive player on the iPhone at the moment, that's not stopping us from putting on our thinking hats to figure out what may happen.

A Lamborghini for your ear
Mike Yamamoto | Mar 24, 2008
But here's one that's sure to draw some attention, as long as would-be admirers can see the logo: The Lamborghini "Bello". Bearing the famous bull emblem, the headset was designed by none other than a son of the legendary auto house's founder, according to PhoneArena. It weighs just 9 grams and claims 6 hours of talk time for around US$70--a mere pittance considering the brand name.
It's an ideal way to get some mileage out of the logo, especially if you can't afford a Lamborghini laptop, let alone a car--even a used one.

Full YouTube on the N95 8GB
John Chan | Mar 18, 2008
Update: According to Nokia, Flash Lite 3 is also available for the N95 and N82. If you have one of these devices but can't use YouTube in the way outlined here, check with Nokia if you need a firmware upgrade.
Yesterday, we made mention of Adobe Flash Lite 3 and how it would be included in future Windows Mobile devices. At that point, we overlooked the fact that Flash Lite 3 has already been implemented in the Nokia N95 8GB since January. It just so happened that we have this model lying around in the office, and we immediately tried out YouTube on its browser.
When you first visit YouTube.com on the N95 8GB's browser, it redirects you to the mobile site, m.youtube.com. That works for many phones without any Flash support and isn't the full experience. What we want is the full desktop YouTube site.

Concept Moto packs stereo camera
Damian Koh | Mar 18, 2008
No, the headline isn't a typo error and your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. This concept Motorola phone designed by Paris-based Lysandre Follet packs a stereo camera at the back. Mind you, we are not referring to most 3G phones with a front-facing camera for video calls and a main shooter at the back for taking pictures, but two camera modules mounted side-by-side on this concept model.
In case you are wondering, we reckon is the dual-camera system could be used for taking 3D images. But other than Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, nothing else was said about the phone, though we're half-guessing that Follet's inspiration came from a particular Samsung calculator model.
