Cellphones have proved to be a great device rescuing people out of emergency situations. No body thought it could be a blessing when one do not have access to 'Radio', 'TV' or if there is no electricity either that the mobile alert systems can avert an upcoming radom situation. In one of the situation, when fierce storms hit California in early January, submerging streets and felling power lines, Steve Livingston was prepared. Armed with a text message alert from the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Services, he dodged the flood and made it home safely. A few months earlier, when a surprise earthquake shook the region, Livingston, chief marketing officer of Sunnyvale, Calif.-based mobile transaction firm mBlox was in Los Angeles on a business trip. Alerted by a text message from the same service, he rushed to call his family back in Hillsborough, near San Mateo. "The pervasiveness of text messaging makes it one of the best ways to communicate to masses of peop...

Screen Resolution + Input Method Because the iPhone uses a virtual ‘soft’ on-screen keyboard instead of the full QWERTY keyboard on the Treo, Apple has naturally used this additional space to increase the screen size Operating System The PalmOS has now successfully powered many generations of Treo smartphones while the OS X variant which powers the iPhone has yet to prove its mettle – particularly when it comes to telephony where Palm has had the benefit of a long learning curve. Storage The opportunity to have 4 or 8GB of permanent storage on the iPhone may prove appealing at first but the fact is that seasoned Treo users fully understand the higher benefits that an external SD card storage provides. For some $150 I can easily add an 8GB SD card for data storage on my Treo without limitation to the number of cards that one can use. GSM + Wireless Data + Camera While both the iPhone and Treo 680 share an almost identical Quad-Band radio with GSM/GPRS/EDGE support there is no doubt that...

Trimble today introduced a modernized software package designed to continuously monitor and control Differential GPS (DGPS) broadcast sites for marine navigation, Trimble Coastal Center software.

The iPhone 2.0 update will be coming in a couple of months and the launch of a new 3G device to go along with the new software is a natural assumption. Most of us are contented with their iPhone, but the lack of 3G is a real bummer that results in using other Wireless devices instead of the iPhone to enhance the mobile productivity on the run. A 3G iPhone with the new firmware is going to be very tempting with its lucrative features and tough for anyone to resist. However, we will have to evaluate the features in totality in relation to other improvements in this Harry Potter magic wand. Will that have the right magic spell on it. For instance, its Bluetooth connectivity to a keyboard, A2DP Bluetooth support, and video capture capability before we finally make our preparation to transform into next generation 3G iPhone. Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, has confirmed that there is a 3G iPhone in the works, although fell short of saying when we could expect to buy one. "We are working ...

New research has concluded that the Safari browser of the iPhone 1.1.4 is vulnerable to attacks, which may lead to service denial and in turn, result in a system crash. This design flaw was detected by the researchers at Radware, an application delivery solutions company, earlier this week. The researches say the flaw triggers a series of “memory allocation operations on its memory pool”, which then triggers another different bug within its garbage collector. To exploit Safari’s vulnerability, an iPhone user would have to open any malicious HTML pages that contain Javascript, usually as a social engineering tactic like e-mail phishing. The Radware researchers say that in a worst-case scenario, the users would experience a denial of service attack, which could result in crash of the entire Safari browser. Once the browser crashes, its malfunction could escalate to a point of paralyzing the entire iPhone.
