ARM vows Xbox-level 3D on phones late 2009

The mobile video standard is based on programmable shaders (effects instructi...
iPhone Multitasking, Where You At?
Apple's iPhone 3.0 OS and SDK promises much, except the ability to do more than one thing at a time.
Apple drops existing iPhone Bluetooth headset
Apple has stopped selling its official Bluetooth headset for the iPhone, Apple Store listings reveal. Though the product's page exists, and it can still be added to online shopping carts, Apple has newly marked the device as "discontinued."

Elgato Launches a H264 Booster Key: Turbo.264 HD
Elgato launched a new USB key able to speed video encoding, aka Turbo.264 HD.
As indicated by its name, it evoles from the previous version and now support an encoding booster function supporting video till 1080P (1920x1080 at 30 fps and 10 Mbits/s). the msot interesting function is most likely the transcoding of video from AVCHD camcorder and for example their transfer to an Apple TV. It is currently possible to perform such operation with iMovie, however it is rather long if you do not have a powerful hardware.
Among then other new features, we should mention the simple options for editing video files before being encoded, or the publish to YouTube included function.
Mac OSX update 10.5.7 nearly ready
World Of Apple bring back to the news that a beta build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 was given by Apple to the developers. If it corrects more than 80 items, there is only one thing that officially poses a problem, this is its incompatibility with the beta of Safari 4.
However the developers are requested to focus their tests on the Flash Player, USB storage, MobileMe synchronization…
If no major bug is found, it should soon be made public, which we await impatiently, since the delivery of Radeon HD 4870 is blocked for old Mac Pro until its release (it includes also the drivers for these cards, which are otherwise only available in a specific system of the new Mac Pro).

The revision is expected between late spring and early fall this year, with vide...

Mobile download cap to disappear with iPhone 3.0?
An arbitrary size limit on cellular app and podcast downloads could disappear with the release of the iPhone 3.0 firmware, a developer suggests. Although iPhone owners are currently able to stream audio and video podcasts without restriction, a 10MB limit exists on individual files obtained through EDGE or 3G, rendering all but the shortest podcasts inaccessible on the road. Using the iPhone 3.0...
