In case you felt the need to purchase a netbook with built in AT&T 3G (aka willing to pay at least $35 a month for 200MB or $60 for 5GB) it was recently made known that the Samsung Go has hit the service.
The Samsung Go for AT&T will run you $199 after mail-in rebate and a 2 year contract as detailed above. Sure, you’ll get a 10-inch screen, Intel Atom processor, 160GB of HDD space, 1GB of RAM and a net book weighing under 3 pounds but the fact that it’s powered by Windows 7 Starter makes it less than enticing.
Then again, you can also opt for the Acer Aspire One with the same specs for the same price, also with Windows 7 Starter.

Apple really has to get its act together. This concerns policies on approving apps. Take the case of the Bobble Rep-111th Congress Addition app. Supposedly under the developer license agreement, Apple forbids ridiculing public figures. This caricature app was originally rejected but later on approved since they deem caricatures as harmless. So there are loopholes as you can see in their policies but if this was the case, why didn’t they consider that in the first place before rejecting this bobble-head app which you can now get for $0.99 at the app store? A little consistency could really save them the criticism!

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.

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?

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.

Universal is planning to feature iPhone interactivity on some of its newest releases which include Bruno, Public Enemies, 9, and Inglourious Basterds“.
Universal is also going to offer exclusive content for iPhone users, something that is akin to the BD-Live program. Of course, that does give iPhone users a little bit of an unfair advantage, doesn’t it?
