…but don’t worry, they’re available in the Mac OSX flavor as well. These OS Calculators recreate the experience of using your OS’s stock calculator app, even when you’re away from your computer. A Mintpass designer recently showed off these OS Calculator concepts. Both models similarly clones its OS counterpart. These calculators will almost certainly never exist, but hey, worth checking out anyway, just in case they do.

iPhone OS 3.0 is old news. How do we know it’s old news? One, everyone’s already talking about iPhone 3.1. Two, it has been released for more than fifteen seconds. So, with iPhone 3.0 out of the way, what are you looking forward to in the next major software upgrade? Here are some potential future applications, based on Apple patents.

Some sad news is abound. The iPhone Dev Team, the peeps behind all the jailbreaking software you use, say that with the advent of the iPhone 3GS, an unlock IS available but Apple is bound to break it with a software update. Not only that, but the team goes on to say that Apple will eventually find a way to keep them out permanently. So get your paws on a 3G or 3GS, post haste, before you actually have to...

Oh boy. This chart is just TOO GOOD not to post. It shows how long it took Apple to roll out 50,000 applications on its App Store (about 10 months) and compares that to Palm’s turtle-esque growth. After more than ten years, the Palm OS (not to be confused with the Pre’s WebOS) had only ~29,000 apps. What does that tell you? I’ll tell you what I think: Dinosaurs are dead. Move with the trend at a blinding pace or... Continue reading

Bon appetit, fanboys. Link

Dell is diving even deeper into the netbook market. In this video, a Dell engineer shows off the new 10v laptop running Ubuntu and the “Cupcake” version of Google’s Android OS. He calls it “snappy” and makes sure to note that Dell is not offering this as an option on any of its computers. However, it’s very possible to port it over to your 10v, so if Google’s mobile OS tickles your fancy, you better start coding. Link [via]

June is almost upon us, folks. There could be a new Mac or a new iPhone and the iPhone 3.0 OS is about to drop. Exciting! Even more so is that Apple is now having developers test its push-notification service. The Associated Press news app is the first to use it and if you have an ADC account, you can login and get a code that’ll let you try it out. Push news? Sounds cool and all but I’d have...

Rumors of an upcoming Samsung phone running Google’s Android OS were abound throughout the first quarter of this year. Now Samsung has laid those to rest and announced the I7500, an Android-powered phone that will drop in Europe this June and has already landed in Korea. What can it do? Aside from all your basic media playback bullshit (MP3, videos, etc.), it comes with a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, GPS, WiFi and 8GB of internal memory. The camera is 5-megapixels, but...
