13 Mar 10 Qualcomm Files Patent for Multi-Fold Display Mobile Device
We are aware that there are a lot of foldable phones out there but it looks like Qualcomm has something up its sleeve. They have filed a new patent for a multi-fold mobile device which allows users to fold and unfold it resulting in a tablet-form like device.
The device features a processor that will execute at least one software application with a graphical interface and would respond to the folding configuration sensor. However, one fallback is that this device would be quite thick which may not really appeal to consumers going for smaller phones out in the market today. Give it time though as technology has a way to convert such things in transition.

13 Mar 10 Celsius X VI II Remontage Papillon Phone
The age of mobile phones has indeed become complex and for sure, the mechanical means of providing effective communication is something one would see in the past. But perhaps for the Celsius X VI II Remontage Papillon Phone, it is more of the design that becomes appealing rather than the mobile phone intent itself.
The Celsius X VI II carries a transparent look where you can see the mechanism operate. Influenced by the features of a tourbillion watch, this mechanical concept phone may not necessarily be ideal in today’s modern mobile phone age. A collector’s item would be the best thing this device could come but it doesn’t come cheap. Would you shell out $275,000 for a medieval running phone?

12 Mar 10 Flaboo iPhone and iPod Touch game is free today
Yesterday, I reported that Doodle Fly-Fly to the Moon, is available free for a limited time. There is a similar game available for free today only, called Flaboo.
You can see from the video how the game is played, which will allow the user to “tap, tilt and shake the screen to help Fat Chick bounce his considerable bulk off clouds and ever higher.” Get it while it’s free, or be forced to pay $0.99 for it.

12 Mar 10 HP’s new “Let’s Do Amazing” campaign
What you are seeing here in the above video is a new ad campaign from HP called “Let’s Do Amazing”. It is essentially a way of introducing the HP brand to consumers.
The man that you see in the ad is Rhys Darby, a New Zealand actor who appeared on the Flight of the Conchords BBC radio series. If you want, you can see him with Dr. Dre in the next video after the jump.
So, what do you think? Is this money well spent to promote their laptops and other products?

12 Mar 10 Unreal Engine, now on WebOS!
We have previously reported how the Unreal Gaming Engine was running on the iPhone, and it is now running on webOS.
So if you have a Palm, you might be able to run some really cool games in speeds of up to 1 fps. I suppose that this should give mobile gaming a boost, won’t it?
So what’s next for the Unreal gaming engine? A trip down iPad lane? I’m guessing yes. It will probably look pretty impressive there.

12 Mar 10 Make Jailbreaking easy with the iDongle
I realize that iPhone users love their jailbroken devices, and now, freeing your iPhone from the Apple code is even simpler with the iDongle.
The iDongle plugs right into the iPhone port, but it won’t jailbreak it just with plugging it in alone. It is “an easy hack”, but only available for the 3.12 iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 2G/3G.
Well, as you can see by its crude design, there is only a few of them available. The developer only has a few of them now, but is looking for more money to mass-produce these things.

The long wait may be finally over for the many people looking to get their hands on Apple’s iPad. And if Apple stays true to its word, pre-orders would be taken in today at 5:30 AM PST.

11 Mar 10 Verizon 4G LTE Handsets Coming in 2011
4G networks have been incrementally going up so the next thing that you would expect would be new 4G capable handsets available in the market. Apparently Verizon Wireless is making sure that they will not be left out, announcing that they will be unveiling their first 4G handset by the middle of 2011.
Verizon’s first handsets will use two chips to allow the device to operate on 4G and 3G networks. However one big issue that people would want to consider is the cost of data on the faster networks. Should this happen, it could signal the end of unlimited data plans in America. And on that note, metered pricing may come forth to cover new network installation costs.
