The blue-and-white unit is pitched as the best of both worlds and tracks all the core features, including actual positional and speed data as well as the estimated calories burned and amount of climb or descent. It can similarly pair with wireless sensors either specific to Garmin or which support the ANT+ for... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/garmin.edge.500/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/27/more.iphone.antenna.tests/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0808/iphonetestingstory.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Further testing of the antenna in the iPhone 3G appears to back up claims of its quality, writes the Gothenburg Post. In the wake of earlier comparative testing which found the iPhone within normal values, the newspaper says it received complaints, on the basis that the test unit may not have been representative of people having problems. The Post thus got in touch with two people reporting poor... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/27/more.iphone.antenna.tests/ Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/14/fix.for.iphone.3g.drops/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/iphone3g.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Unusual reception problems with the iPhone 3G are indeed attributable to Infineon's 3G chip, say two anonymous sources. Described as "well-placed," the individuals claim that approximately 2 to 3 percent of iPhone traffic is suffering from connection troubles, which may also include continual shifting between 3G and 2.5G networks. By comparison, the normal rate of dropped calls for AT&T is abou... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/14/fix.for.iphone.3g.drops/ Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/06/aki.mahjong.for.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/6-aki-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Ambrosia is currently adapting its first iPhone game, Aki Mobile Mahjong, and is running a closed beta test as it works to release the game. Little is revealed on Ambrosia's development page, but it has already said that it is making use of Core Animation to select between levels, as well as EDGE and WiFi to download new levels. Aki Mobile Mahjong will also allow players to pause the game to take ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/06/aki.mahjong.for.iphone/ Fri, 06 Jun 2008 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/08/mossberg.3g.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/mossberg-beettv.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Wall Street Journal columnist Walt Mossberg is claiming that his previous comments indicating that a 3G iPhone would debut in the "next 60 days" were based on the same, widely reported speculation to which other pundits have access, and that he has "no idea" when Apple will release the new device. Silicon Alley Insider reports that Mossberg said "If I knew when this date was, why would I announce ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/08/mossberg.3g.iphone/ Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/28/iphone.in.new.zealand/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/auckland.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />An expansion to New Zealand's cellular networks may open the way for the iPhone, a research firm observes. TeleGeography says it has learned from Telecom New Zealand's director of mobile operations, Martin Butler, that it is a "good inference" that the company will bring over the iPhone. It is in the middle of building a new, $300 million NZD ($241.2 million US) GSM/EDGE network, which should su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/28/iphone.in.new.zealand/ Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/nokia.siemens.edge.evo/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/nokian96.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />In an unusual break from its emphasis on 3G and 4G cellular data, Nokia Siemens Networks today said it had developed a method to improve the speed of 2G networks. Called EGPRS 2, the subset of the future EDGE Evolution format adds a second carrier to the data path and promises to dramatically improve the practical speed of the connection in both directions. Downloads can run as quickly as 1.2Mbp... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/nokia.siemens.edge.evo/ Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/wozniak.criticizes.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0710/woz-laptop.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The iPhone is still a flawed device in spite of achievements, according to Steve Wozniak. The Apple co-founder made his comments at the Broadband and Beyond conference in Sydney, Australia, where he specifically took his former company to task for not incorporating 3G broadband into the iPhone at launch. The device instead uses EDGE technology, often described as "2.5G" or "2.75G," and even by A... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/03/wozniak.criticizes.iphone/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/itc.hands.victory.to.nokia/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/nokian96-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />One final victory has been granted before the temporary ceasefire begins between Nokia and Qualcomm. The US International Trade Commission has affirmed a ruling it issued in December, which said that Nokia had not violated three patents relating to GSM, GPRS and EDGE technology. The case in fact backfired for Qualcomm, as the ITC determined that one of the patents was invalid.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/itc.hands.victory.to.nokia/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/3g.iphone.in.mid.year/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/iphone-o2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The 3G iPhone is coming in the middle of 2008 with technology supplied by Infineon, says an analyst with the investment bank UBS. Nicolas Gaudois claims his statement is based on various checks, and particularly an HSDPA design win by Infineon set to ramp up during the second quarter of the year. This might not be of concern except that Infineon is said to also be ramping down EDGE chip producti... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/28/3g.iphone.in.mid.year/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:45:00 GMT
