13 Nov 09 Kicker’s ZK500 can be upgraded for Zune HD
It seems like iPod/iPhone docks are a dime a dozen, but docks and speakers for the Zune are slightly lacking. Fortunately, Kicker has a solution with firmware for its ZK500.
Unfortunately, the user is required to ship the system to the company in order to have the firmware installed. That upgrade/installation runs about $40, but the company will pay for the shipping. By the way, the ZK500 costs about $249.

13 Nov 09 Haier America Video MP3 Player: It’s pretty decent
Yes, there are a lot of MP3 Players out on the market, and yes, it is odd that the ones that get the most press start with the little “i”. I think we all know that there are a lot of MP3 Players out there that are just as good, maybe even better, and are lower in price.
Like the Haier America Video MP3 Player, for instance, which is just as good as the iPod Nano, really. The 4GB version costs about $45, and the 8GB costs $55.

13 Nov 09 Eneloop Stick Booster for your mobile devices
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of eneloop batteries, but, according to the company, they can be recharged more than 1,500 times and are more effective than dry cells because “they don’t meet the current requirement of some devices”.
Two of these batteries come with the Eneloop Stick Booster, a USB device that can charge them up for about an hour and a half. This Stick Booster is made from aluminum, is 5.8 inches long, and will be sold in Japan for about $35 starting December 1st.

13 Nov 09 Dell to bring their Mini 3 smartphone to Brazil and China (at first?)
I’m not certain why Dell is planning to release its first smartphone, the Mini3, to only Cina Mobile and Brazil’s Claro, but the Chinese version will use OPhone, China Mobile’s version of Google Android. It won’t have Wi-Fi in China, just like the iPhone, but it is planned to have it “soon”.
I’m not certain of the Wi-Fi in Brazil. My source was also silent on if this Dell phone was coming to America. Considering all the Android phones we’ve seen in the past few weeks, is there a point to be made by bringing the Mini 3 here?

13 Nov 09 AT&T to Launch Snapdragon-based Lenovo Smartbook?
AT&T is apparently going to launch a smartbook soon. The device is made by Lenovo and it’s going to sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. There are no specs available at this point as the smartbook in question has been showcased by CEO Paul Jacobs during an investor meeting in New York. Neither Lenovo nor AT&T cared to comment on the device but we’re probably going to see the smartbook at CES 2010 in just under two months from now.
The question is do we really need smartbooks too? We have smartphones, there are plenty of netbooks to go around and let’s not forget that the tablets are coming. What do you say?

13 Nov 09 New iPhone Virus Could Harm Jailbroken iPhones
It seems that there’s a new iPhone virus on the loose and this one is targeting jailbroken iPhones out there. The first one was almost a harmless worm which targeted jailbroken phones in Australia. The worm was programmed to scan the 3G IP ranges of Telus, Optus and Vodafone networks. As soon as those jailbroken iPhone were found the worm would change the wallpaper of the handset to Rick Asteley.
The worm we’re talking about today is based on the one we have just shown you. And you won’t like this second version worm. In fact you’re probably going to hate it as this worm, dubbed as “iPhone/Privacy.A” will send all your e-mail messages, SMS messages, calendar appointments, contacts, photos, music files, videos and any other data stored by your iPhone apps to a third party.
Of course in order for both worms to work your jailbroken has to have the default root password in place. Once you change that, you’re going to be safe for the time being.

13 Nov 09 AT&T Fights Verizon with Its EDGE Network
By now you certainly know that AT&T has decided to sue Verizon Wireless after Big Red aired all those commercials from its “There’s a Map for That” campaign. AT&T is definitely pissed off as Verizon is making a mockery of AT&T’s 3G network. AT&T alleges that Verizon is falsely advertising the capabilities of their 3G networks and consumers get the impression that AT&T lacks any services in those areas on the maps where 3G connectivity is not available.
So what does AT&T do to defend itself? It brings its EDGE network in:
With both 3G and EDGE coverage, customers can access the Internet, send e-mail, surf the Web, stream music, download videos, send photos, text, talk and more. The only difference – with some data applications, 3G is faster than EDGE.
Sure AT&T’s EDGE network is definitely comparable with Verizon’s low-end EV-DO Rev. A network but that’s not really what AT&T should tell its customers right now. What they want to hear is that AT&T’s 3G network is going to get even better. Which means no more dropped calls, better coverage, and all the web surfing at 3G speeds they want. And while we’re at it, Verizon should also upgrade its 3G network to LTE as fast as possible.

13 Nov 09 Motorola MT710 OPhone Is the Droid of China
Motorola has a hot phone for Chinese customers too. The MT710 is a handset meant to deal with China Mobile’s Android-based Open Mobile Systen. This OPhone will offer a 3.7-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen display and TD-SDCDMA support and that’s about all we know about this Motorola OPhone. It looks like the MT710 is the Chinese version of the Droid and people say it’s going to lack keyboard support. They also say that Motorola will launch seven Android phones next year which means that the Droid-like MT710 is just the first one of them.
