Sprint set to release 3G-enabling “case” for iPod touch
Recently released FCC documents reveal that Sprint is set to launch what appears to be a new case for the iPod touch that would enable 3G networking on the WiFi-only device. Manufactured by ZTE and called the “Peel,” the case is essentially a MiFi-like mobile hotspot that snaps on to an iPod touch, giving it a network connection wherever you can get a Sprint 3G signal. The Peel has its own 3 …

For the first time, UK troops are using a special app developed for the iPad to learn how to handle a fire mission.
That’s when artillery is being fired at the enemy from several miles away.
In early trials at the Royal School of Artillery in Wiltshire, troops have learned the jargon and procedures more quickly than before, when they were sat listening to lessons from instructors.
It’s hoped smartphone and tablet technology could be used to speed up training across the army.
Yet another notable example of the iPad at work. Apparently 15 other options were considered for delivering this training before the iPad was selected, and the iPad is considered to be both a money and time saver for this task. Good stuff.

Shortage Suply of HTC Evo 4G
It’s a business nightmare: you have plenty of customers, but not enough of the product. One of the most talked-about and desired new phones — no, not the iPhone 4 — is in short supply. It’s HTC’s Evo, carried exclusively by Sprint, and the first cell phone in the United States to take advantage of fourth-generation, or 4G, faster speeds for data and video. The HTC Evo 4G handset was an instant hit, setting a Sprint record for first-day sales when it was introduced in early June, drawing raves from gadget blogs and introducing phone users to the company’s fourth generation cell network.
HTC’s problems have to do with the limited availability of a display component, but even companies that don’t share that problem are cautious about promising too much. Motorola is releasing the well-hyped Droid X for Verizon on Thursday, yet Best Buy won’t guarantee first-day availability and Verizon expects shortages, too, PC World reports. But on Sprint’s online store, the message “Sold Out: More are on their way” is often attached to the promotional page advertising the EVO 4G. But why? HTC spokesman Dan Nowak said there’s no one reason.
“There’s no way to really point at widget X and widget Y at this point,” Nowak said. “There’s very high demand, and we’re ramping up supply. Some chips and components are tougher to get than others.” While shipments continue on a regular basis, not every outlet is getting the phone, and it cannot be ordered right now from Sprint’s website, which says “Check back later. More are on their way.”
While prospective Sprint customers found themselves waiting for the first-ever 4G phone, AT&T and Apple introduced the iPhone 4 — a device limited to 3G speeds but matching most of the other features of the Evo with a built-in following of users. In less than a week, more than 1.7 million new iPhones were sold. By comparison, one independent analyst estimated a total of 300,000 Evos were sold. (Sprint does not provide numbers on how many units it sells.) The Evo shortage continues. In a statement Monday, Evo manufacturer HTC confirmed it can’t keep up with demand.
Samsung Mobile Displays (SMD) and LG Displays represent the only sources for AMOLED panels. “Starting with the Nexus One introduced in January, Android-based smart phones have aggressively adopted high-quality AMOLED displays as a competitive differentiator against the advanced-technology AMLCD screen used in the iPhone,” said Vinita Jakhanwal, principal analyst for small and medium displays at iSuppli, in a recent report. “However, rising demand, combined with a limited supply base—has led to the constrained availability of AMOLEDs.”
Nowak said that HTC confirmed a week or two ago that it would be expanding its supply base for AMOLED screens.
“We thought we would have more of a head start than we’ll end up having,” Sprint CEO Dan Hesse told The Wall Street Journal recently. The Journal reported that Samsung is building a new factory to make touch screens, but that it will not be in operation before 2012. HTC, too, is adding more suppliers, the Journal said. “The company is also checking flights to the U.S. to see if it can secure extra, last-minute carrying space to get more phones to Sprint and Verizon shelves as soon as phones are ready,” an HTC spokesman told the newspaper.
Consumer Reports said Monday it would not recommend Apple’s newest iPhone because of reception problems caused by its antenna design. Buyers have complained that reception can fade when the phone is held so that a spot is covered on the lower left part of the phone, presumably where the antenna is. Consumer Reports’ tests backed up the complaints and contradicted Apple’s explanations for the signal loss.
“Our findings call into question the recent claim by Apple that the iPhone 4′s signal-strength issues were largely an optical illusion caused by faulty software,” Mike Gikas of Consumer Reports wrote in a blog post Monday.
Apple also had said any phone’s reception would degrade when the phone’s antenna was blocked, but Consumer Reports said it tested several phones that use AT&T’s network and only the iPhone 4 seemed to have the reception issue.

TechCrunch went through the fine print and noticed that, with iOS 3.2 (iPhone 3.2 for iPad) Apple switched from using Skyhook and Google’s location database to using their own, home spun, solution.
When reached for comment, Skyhook wouldn’t specifically talk about their relationship with Apple, but they did say that “everyone who has a platform wants to own as much of the location stack as possible. Location data is going the be huge and owning it is going to be the next big war in mobile.“
Indeed. Now roll Apple-acquired PlaceBase and Poly9 Map layer brain-trusts into the equation, and what will we get?
Apple ditched Skyhook and Google, rolled their own location database is a story by TiPb. This feed is sponsored by The iPhone Blog Store.

Now we’re not saying the iPad in any way shape or form needs this. We all know the idea behind the touch interface and it’s benefits in alleviating the need for a traditional mouse and keyboard.
But that still doesn’t mean there isn’t some great functionality in there if you’re curious. What you’ll need is a jailbroken iPad and a bluetooth mouse. An Apple Magic Mouse was used for this test. If you’re on iOS 3.2.1, this sadly will not work for you right now. From Cydia, download BT Stack Mouse. Once you run Mouse and select your device you should be ready to roll. You can also dig into the Settings/Mouse and Settings/Activator in order to customize the speed, middle, and right click options. I also found that setting the right click to the home button to be extremely useful. Now if we could just get some brilliant mind to crack open the functionality in the shiny new “magic” trackpad with the iPad, we’d be set. Let us know in the comments how this works for you.

Question by Be Bu: anyway to use ATT iPhone but not pay for data plan?
I want to get an iPhone from ATT but I don’t want to pay for the data plan. Is there anyhow.
I heard that I can tell ATT that I”m no longer using the iphone and request them to remove the data plan. Once they remove the data plan, I can use the iphone again. Is that true?

Yes this is true but keep in mind that you won’t have features like Visual Voicemail an obviously data usage. But to answer your question you can purchase and then call at&t and ask them to remove the data plan and they will do so. I have confirmed this because I have done it myself.
