Before you go on and pass checking out the mobile device in the image above, this is not an iPhone. It carries the same looks and can deceive you in a sec, but it is really a PinPhone, another copycat to the famed Apple iPhone. It may cater to all the physical attributes of the iPhone but when it comes to accessing the iTune store, don’t bet on it. The PinPhone 3GS is living proof how the Chinese love to come out with their own imitation products and perhaps this gadget is meant to cater to people who can’t afford to get the authentic iPhone 3GS…for now of course.

Medical transcription can be a pain at times, especially if you talk about figuring out what the doctor mapped up when he sees a patient. However we have seen technology takes its course and now the iPhone is set to change all that with the IQSpeak app which takes down healthcare dictations from IQMax. The IQ Speak app has the ability to take down dictation notes on the iPhone which provides more flexibility to physicians when it comes to jotting down their patient findings and notes. IQMax has already developed interfaces into over 60 different systems in healthcare.

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?

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?

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.

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.

Samsung has announced its own open mobile platform the other day, bada, and now we have pictures of the first bada phone available. Samsung intends to reveal everything about bada at some point next month in December and that’s probably when we’re going to see the first bada phone made official too. The special event hosted by Samsung in London should also bring the bada SDK to developers but we’ll tell you more about it next month. For now we only have this leaked picture of the first bada phone so we’ll be looking forward to see some leaked specs and features too. What do you say, Samsung?

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.

One of the many phones that NTT Docomo is releasing this winter is the Fujitsu F-04B Separate Kentai, a phone that has the unique ability to split its keyboard from its display. The keyboard and display are synced wirelessly via Bluetooth, and I can imagine that will come in handy for all sorts of applications.

I have recently learned that the user can also attach a 854 x 480 projector in place of a keyboard. So, a detachable keyboard and a pico projector? What could be better? How about a 12.2 megapixel camera?

There is no word of price or availability, but it will probably be a Japan-only release.

TomTom has recently updated their iPhone app, and has made some welcome changes.

They have finally added text-to-speech (which is usually a staple amongst GPS devices) as well as graphic lane guidance (the feature that gives the user a display of highway intersections). There is also a help menu that offers a shortcut to emergency numbers and directions to the nearest emergency services. The update also includes a free map update and even a safety camera database update. Yes, the user will be able to receive a warning when approaching speed limit cams.

According to my source, this update is pending approval. It will be free for those who already have the TomTom app, but it will cost everybody else about $99.
