iPhone naked Apps: see people naked from your iphone
People need many things right now, but surely nothing more than the ability to spontaneously see through the clothing of another.
You know this is true. So do the other-oriented folks at Presselite. For they want you to share their pride in an application creation called Nude It, which was approved by the Apple store Komsomol Tuesday.
Antoine Morcos, co-founder of Presselite, admitted in a press release that the creators’ inspiration in the development of this astounding technology came from the WhoIsTheBaldGuyBlog. I have embedded a YouTube video in order to give you some relief from feeling that you inhabit a strange planet called Nexus One.
In essence, the pleasure you will get from Nude It may well rival what you felt when you were 7 and took a gullible elementary school pupil into the restroom, placed their head in the toilet bowl, and asked them if they’ve ever seen the blue goldfish.
The makers do warn that you should clearly see your subject’s face on the screen before you activate their embarrassment.
I am concerned, though, by the images that Presselite has included as an example. You see, they show that Nude It merely reveals people in their underpants. The general method males use for this purpose is to find a lady friend with whom they can wander into any of the increasingly liberal changing rooms of our major retail stores.
Still, I know many of you will be rushing to experience this new tool and that several of you will soon have pressing appointments with your Human Resources department.

The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is known to be a source from which many leaks are spotted. But usually they just post blueprints of phones and not the real live photos. But this time, that’s exactly what they did.
The FCC has just approved a device called the HTC PC70110. This handset is believed to actually be the HTC Wildfire. Wildfire will be the actual name if it is the same phone. The PC70110 is just a codename the company uses.
The device is a side-slide out QWERTY phone with a full touchscreen on the front. The phone colour is a mix of black on the front and bottom and blue on the area around the keyboard.
It will mostly run on Google’s Android OS judging from the four-touch sensitive keys below the screen.

Nokia N8 Questions and Answers
We are part of the first official Question and Answer session around the Nokia N8 Q&A. We have been covering the N8 ever since it leaked. Since the Nokia N8 has got a 12 MP best of the class Camera sensor. Some may see it as Camera with a SIM card slot.
There have been a lot of questions from users about N8 . Is the battery non-removable ? When will it start shipping ? What makes the Camera special ?
Looking at the Camera samples , the N8 looks like a Camera with a SIM card slot.
Folks from Nokia were bombarded with questions about the N8 by a group of bloggers CJ , Rafe , Micky and our very own Varun
Dive in to find out
Q. Why did Nokia choose to go with a non-removable battery ?
A. About the battery, we wanted to create a robust, one-piece device that feels good in the hand, therefore the integrated battery that can not be replaced by the user.
Q. Does Integrated battery affect battery life ?
A.Integrated battery does not actually affect to battery life.
Q. Can I directly transfer stuff from my pendrive to the n8 without a computer ?
A.You can copy big files from hard drives without PC. There is one limitation with the filesizes; max is 4GB, it comes from FAT32 system.
Q.Is the body of the phone completely scratch resistant ?
A.The covers are made out of aluminium and the colors come with anodization process. It seems to resist the scratches by nature. I bet nothing is 100%
Q.Will there be pinch and zoom in browser ?
A.Yes and you can do the pinch also in photos & email
Q.Does N8 record 5.1 sound ?
A. No , it records Stereo Audio but playback is 5.1 Dolby
Q. About Process and GPU on the phone

Q. How is the N8’s Camera different from the N82 ?
A. It starts from the sensor, bigger the sensor, brighter shots I checked few 300-400€ pocket cameras and they had smaller sensors And we piled the cam with 28mm wide optics from zeiss, that’s great combination.
Q.Is Nokia entering Pocket Cam business then ?
We’ve been in cam buziness for a while. it’s in Nseries
Q. Will N8 get Symbian^4 ?
There was earlier a question on Symbian^4, and here I have to refer to us not commeting on future products. sorry
Q. Where is the USB port on the N8 ?
A.USB is in the left side
Q.is the N8 going to have native facebook / twitter integration?
A.you can do Facebook & Twitter out of the box, can get those into one view.
In some questions about the Qt Framework for Developers Nokia said that there will have Ovi Store publishing in place for Nokia Qt SDK apps and that the N8 will ship with Qt 4.6
If you still have any questions about the N8 ask in the comments below or ask in the Nokia Nseries blog
The N8 looks like a innovative piece of Hardware from Nokia. It certainly does not look like a Nokia for sure .
The big question now is if Symbian^3 will give life to the amazing hardware and make Nokia’s smartphones shine again ! We can barely wait to get our hands on the N8 !

Install Android On iPhone 2G
Here is a good news for iPhone 2G users. Now you can install Android OS in your iPhone 2G by following a simple tutorial, which was recently posted by the guys at Android A Lot. You can install Android 1.6 on your iPhone 2G from Mac, Windows as well as from Linux. To learn more, check out the video below.
“The end result is far from a fully working Android system. It’s Android 1.6 with basic features – calls, texts, WiFi but no camera and probably a few Force Closes. It’s easy to upgrade Android versions once you’ve managed to get to the end of the tutorial,” says Android A Lot.

Its official now! Android 2.2 will get an inbuilt Flash Support from Google.
In an interview to the New York Times, Andy Rubin, VP for Engineering at Google and one of the Chief Android Architect, told that Android 2.2, codenamed “Froyo” will fully support Flash.
He said “Sometimes being open means not being militant about the things consumer are actually enjoying” which was pointed at Apple’s Decision to ban the use of Adobe’s Flash-to-iPhone Compiler and blocking all Flash applications in its upcoming iPhone 4.0.
He also said that they are trying to keep the Android Platform as open as possible for all the developers. He said:
“We use the same tools we expect our third-party developers to. We have an SDK we give to developers. and when we write our Gmail app, we use the same SDK. A lot of guys have private APIs. We don’t. That’s on policy and on technology. If there’s a secret API to hook into billing system we open up that billing system to third parties. If there’s a secret API to allow application multitasking, we open it up. There are no secret APIs. That is important to highlight for Android sake. Open is open and we live by our own implementations.”
When jokingly quizzed about the stolen phones, he said he would be very happy with that kind of attention for Android since, with openness comes less secrets.

Google has brought its in-demand satellite based Turn by Turn navigation app for the UK users. This obviously has the UK based folks happy as the app is sensational plus it is free to use. UK users can get it via an update to theirGoogle Maps for Android.
But that’s not the only important thing about this device specially if you are a member of the iPhone land.Google has announced that it plans to bring its free sat-nav app to other platforms which includes the high profile iPhone platform as well. Unfortunately, this was as far as the announcement went and didn’t reveal the likely arrival date.
Perhaps, the more important question here is will Apple approve the app? It is worth mentioning here that the Cupertinos very own Maps app doesn’t provide this navigation functionality. Are you looking forward to this app to arrive on your iPhone?

Yes , you can easily transfer any of your messages already residing in the phone memory causing your phone to process various operations at a slow speed due to the memory usage by the sms messages.
I have illustrated the entire procedure to move your sms messages in single with a four step below.
How to do it:
Make sure that Messaging memory is set to Phone Memory (Messages -> Settings -> Other -> Memory -> Phone memory).
With FExplorer, go to E:\System\Mail and delete the whole dir. Not just the content, the whole dir.
Go to Messages -> Settings -> Other -> Memory and select “MMC”
Now you will be prompted if you would like to copy the messages to your “new” location.
If you found some problem in implementing the steps listed below leave a comment here i will be glad to help you.

In a interesting turn of events , Nokia has officially made a comment about the early N8 preview by Russian site Mobile-Review . Although they are explicitly mentioning about Eldar or Mobile-Review , anyone who has been tracking the blogs or twitter updates will surely know about the negative remarks of the N8 made by the Russian blogger after he played with a prototype handset
They admitted about the product leaks. and they are hunting down the source of the leaks.
This wasn’t the first time a Nokia product appeared online before it had been announced. This particular site openly flaunts its ability to acquire our property. Yes, we have to take a look at ourselves, and we are diligently hunting down the source of these leaks. Frankly, we pride ourselves on trust at Nokia, and someone has greatly betrayed that.
Nokia has posted that “One of our Children is missing” and they would like to have their prototype back
.
I’m a huge of fan of mobile-review but I think the recent n8 preview of a unreleased handset was pretty hard to digest considering it had early firmware.
The image on the left is the official image of the N8 and the image on the right is from Mobile-Review. We all know products look like really shiny stuff in Press material. But which one do you vote for ? The official image or the leaked image ?
