The Square card reader is a device that attaches to the headphone jack on the iPhone. When connected to the iPhone 4 it actually hurt the reception due to metal on the bottom of the reader contacting with the metal antenna of the iPhone 4. It seems that in some cases, signal could be affected by this.
Square has now launched a new model that gets rid of the metal contact at the top of the 3.5mm jack which in turn, prevents contact being made with the metal surrounding of the antenna. [Read more…]
Samsung has announced that the Samsung Galaxy S Android 2.2 update will be made available in November.

The software will not be an OTA update like on most other devices. Instead, a new version of the Kies updater app will be made available that you can download to your computer and initiate the update process through your computer. [Read more…]
Just a few days ago, Apple [AAPL] announced the new MacBook Air. Two new models were announced with the smaller one having an 11.6 inch screen. iFixit has done the usual and torn it apart to see whats exactly inside and let us know how easy it is to service the new laptop. Bad news is that its almost all propriety and therefore, difficult to put standard parts in to fix things or customise it.
Some highlights mentioned by iFixit include the scrapping of the IR sensor and sleep LED. These have been replaced by a USB 2.0 port on the right edge. Propriety 5-point security Torx screws are used to open it up although after that its all standard screws. [Read more…]

The breakdown of which versions of the iPhone were activated is not known although we suspect that it leans heavily to the iPhone 4. [Read more…]
With around $500 million being spent on their marketing campaign alone, you’d think Microsoft would let you see a little more of Kinect.
But staying true to their controller free gaming hardware, Microsoft wants it to be all about the player and from the video you can watch below, you can definitely see that. [Read more…]
