Some more images of the upcoming Palm Treo 800w have been making their way around the Internet, the latest however are pretty clear, well clear compared to some previous leaked images anyway, and show off both the front and back side. The Sprint-branded Treo 800w, as if the “w” was not indication enough is clearly pictured running non other than Windows Mobile as the OS. Overall a slightly better looking Treo than previous models, but it seems that there is nothing much to get overly excited about.

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 5th 2008 at 7:02PM If there are two things Aiptek knows, it’s cheap and small. Along with Foxconn and Honlai, Aiptek is introducing a pocket-sized projector over in Taipei, and it’s being eloquently dubbed the PocketCinema V10. Reportedly, the device taps 3M’s miniature projection technology to shoot up a 50-inch image, and if you don’t have a bona fide source laying around, it can still entertain guests by reading from the 1GB of internal memory or 3-in-1 multicard reader.

If you’re an owner of the Samsung SCH-i760, then be prepared to upgrade its operating system to Windows Mobile 6.1 sometime this month. Hopefully the slew of 6.1 releases this summer will more than make up for the long waiting period which amounted to months last year where Windows Mobile 6 upgrades were concerned. Alternatively, you can always purchase a smartphone that already has Windows Mobile 6.1 running… Tags: speaker, gear, games, laptops (Read the full post about ‘Samsung SCH-i760 gets Windows Mobile Upgrade’…)

There’s no doubt that an iPhone update is imminent. But while nearly everyone has agreed on that, nobody knows anything definite about the specifics… except that the new iPhone will be compatible with the Microsoft Exchange email services. There’s a link on the main Apple.com iPhone page where you can apply to be a beta tester. In regards to the iPhone, here’s what we know today: Apple.com lists the iPhone as “Currently Unavailable.” Stock is so low that you can’t buy it. Usually a good sign that a new model is coming out soon. Apple continues to make iPhone sales deals across the globe. Netherlands, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Australia were all announced with the last few months. (Read the full post about ‘iPhone 3G and WWDC Announcement Predictions’…)

The most successful applications are usually created out of a great need. That was the story behind the creation of a new browser called the ZAC Browser. The browser was created as a computer playground for Zackary who was diagnosed as severely autistic back in 2005. The ZAC Browser was built through the work of Zackary’s grandfather, John LeSieur, who is in the software business. LeSieur is also behind Kidz CD, an Internet browser which has been written for children of all ages which is also available for free at the Kidz CD website. Upon playing with the first release of the Kidz CD browser, Zackary was found to have improvement in his violent behavior toward others as well as objects.

Basically, there hasn’t been a lot of information known about the Samsung i900, just spy shots and some other uninformative pics. However, recently a Chinese website has released some better looking pictures and some more information regarding the Samsung i900. So far, it is set to come with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 WQVGA resolution, a 5-megapixel camera, quadband GSM, 3G HSDPA with speeds measuring up to 7.2 Mbps, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 16GB of internal hard disk space. All of these specs seem to be really nice and high end, you can’t really find similar specs in normal, average GPS.

Microsoft has commissioned research into the current state of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and the results are not good. A poll of 1,000 office workers and managers concluded that 68% of them were suffering from some form of RSI including back, shoulder, wrist and hand pain.

The research also found that RSI is not getting reported because people are just not associating the aches they feel with their work. The blame for such injuries is being placed on mobile working, which sees many of us taking work home and using laptops a lot more.

The advice from health and safety experts is to ensure there is better education within the workplace regarding RSI.
