Apparently, during one of the WWDC evening parties, an iPhone engineer responded, “Yeah. There will be” to the question of “are there going to be third party Cocoa apps on the iPhone.”

The Mintpad – A digital Wi-Fi enabled Post-it

The Mintpad is a Post-it like digital tablet that lets you write directly on the screen with a stylus instead of using a keyboard. It does not recognize handwriting, but it will send the original note, in full color to other mintpad users via Wi-Fi.


It’s a cool feature for a neat portable media player/Web browser/camera with 4GB of memory. In other words this product may have serious potential with school going kids who may fancy passing notes to friends and worry about the teacher confiscating it like they do with cell phones now a days.

Sony Ericsson launches the MBS-900 Wireless Stereo Speakers and W705 Walkman phone

Sony Ericsson has announced its new W705 Walkman phone, together with the MBS-900 Bluetooth 2.1 speaker.

The Bluetooth speaker supports 2.1 channels with integrated stereo speakers and subwoofer.

Modded Gameboy-sized NES portable is a total killjoy

Totally agreeing with Kotaku on this one, this Modded Gameboy-sized NES portable is a total killjoy. For one, it sports a bad design, and two…it sports an even worse faceplate. Sized like a Gameboy but based off of a Super Joy III Nintendo, the console hosts 72 built-in games. I don't the modder should gloat simply because its an NES that he's modded, aesthetics and functionality do matter.
