Cute Furry Bunny USB Webcam Hides Your True Motivations

This bunny USB webcam looks just like a normal stuffed bunny at first glance (if you ignore the USB cable coming out of his ass), which is perfect for whatever clandestine recording opportunities you're setting up in front of your computer. Of course, there are much easier ways of secretly documeting things than putting a stuffed bunny on your desk or monitor, many of which our own Sean Fallon is intimately familiar with. Sixteen bones and shipping gets you this 1.3-megapixel furry creature—which actually looks more like a dog than a rabbit. [Sourcing Map via Shiny Shiny]

iGPS360 adds GPS to iPhone 2g and iPod Touch

[#2: Edit Options>MightyAdsense>Adsense Code]

Looks like the decision to hold onto the original iPhone has finally paid off. OrangeGadgets has just announced that they will be releasing a GPS device, the iGPS360 iPhone/iPod Touch Module.

This device will give GPS functionality to those who have gone without for so long. The iGPS360 will plug into the bottom of your iPhone 2G/iPod Touch making it a bit longer than most would like. The drawback is that your iPhone or iPod Touch must first be jailbroken in order for this to work because Apple has not given the OK for any device to access the OS though the dock connecter.

The device has an on-board back-up battery that will store GPS information allowing for a quick GPS lock-on after the device itself has been switched off. You can also charge both your iPhone/iPod Touch and the GPS device at the same time through a micro USB cable that comes with the GPS device. You can pre-order the iGPS360 right now but act quick, by the looks of things they will only manufacture 1000 units.

iPhone goes open-source – Linux ported to iPhone!

[#3: Edit Options>MightyAdsense>Adsense Code]

What’s this? An iPhone running on the Linux operating system? It was only a matter of time.

The most closed and controlled mobile development platform has been hacked to run open-source Linux-code! And you thought iPhone Dev Team members were just working to unlock the iPhone 3G baseband firmware…

iPhone Dev Team hacker planetbeing has announced on his blog that he and his team of intrepid iPhone developers have successfully reverse-engineered the iPhone’s hardware drivers, allowing them to boot the open-source Linux operating system on an iPhone. Booting Linux on the iPhone required that the team come up with their own iPhone bootloader, dubbed OpeniBoot, that’s capable of dual-booting into either the Linux or iPhone OS.

At this point, the Linux-on-iPhone team has managed to get a Linux 2.6 kernel ported to the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch. Unfortunately, driver support is limited. Linux isn’t practically usable on the iPhone until more interface drivers are released – unless UI-control via SSH through a USB cable is your idea of “practical” – but it’s still good to have a working proof-of-concept.

With this latest breakthrough in iPhone hacking, the iPhone community is on the verge of Linux-computing on their slickly-styled handsets. Most intriguing, however, is the prospect of running the highly publicized Android OS. Google developed the Linux-based Android OS as an open-source mobile platform for use within the Open Handset Alliance, and we saw Android’s inaugural launch in the T-Mobile G1.

Now, with the iPhone mere steps away from being able to run on a fully-working Linux platform, planetbeing has his sights set on porting Android to the iPhone.

If you fancy yourself talented enough to help out with the Android-on-iPhone cause, drop planetbeing a line and further the cause.

As a phone it has all the standard features that you might require. But although i-mate 8150 is a very powerful mobile computer with speed; it is not too glamorous as a phone. Its keyboard is stiff and thus hard to use. Its sound characteristics are good but it can be rated as being on the average size. Its more square like design is deemed as too militaristic by some people who like more curvier lines on their phone. However with its combined mobile computing power, I- mate should definitely be your choice in a PDA phone.

Bug in Android phone triggers reboot with 8 keystrokes

Bugs in anything are often annoying things, and rarely amusing. The recently released Android G1 phone wasn’t free of such (being a first-gen device), but I’m not quite sure whether I should file it under annoying or amusing.

A newly discovered bug in its software apparently makes each and every word typed on its keyboard “silently and invisibly interpreted as a command and executed with superuser privileges.” Put simply, this means that any user might unknowingly issue and execute commands before he or she even knows it. Might seem pretty lowbrow at first, but such a bug could actually result in a lot of backfiring. Such as when a user types in the word “reboot,” which automatically makes the phone reboot–no questions asked.
Go ahead, try it (if you’ve got a real phone, and not just an emulator). Type in the word “reboot.” Yep, every single keystroke, the eight of it. “-r-e-b-o-o-t-” Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

A report regarding the said bug has already been filed in the Android pages of Google Code, and here I’ve pasted an excerpt below:

“I was in the middle of a text conversation with my girl when she asked why I hadn’t responded. I had just rebooted my phone and the first thing I typed was a response to her text which simply stated “Reboot” – which, to my surprise, rebooted my phone.”

While the story of how this bug was discovered is funny, for some users the effect could be anything but. Imagine you were working on or doing something really important on your Android G1, and this happened. Woe to all the data you will have lost. And you.

Fortunately, this bug only seems to affect phones with firmware version 1.0 TC4-RC29 and earlier. So any phone that has received the latest firmware update pushed over-the-air by Google should be immune to it. Some users are also reporting that it only works for them while the USB cable is plugged in and the phone is in debug mode. In any case, this is definitely not supposed to be a feature, so it would probably be best if Google or T-Mobile worked to fix it pronto.
