 This is a tricky one. I'm sure many of the iPhone owners won't even think about getting something with “Vista” word on their beloved device, like ever. However, I have to say they should think about this beautiful theme…
VistaPerfection is a Summerboard compatible theme, created by Spec Works. Features include over 90 icons, boot and restore images, sliders and vista login/logoff (unlock/lock). The screenshot on the left is there to help you realize just how cool this is. Yeah, you might hate the Windows logo and I have the ability to comprehend that, but the icons are gorgeous.
The problem, though, at least for those interested to try out the theme, is that at the moment it isn't available via Installer.app. Rather, you'll have to manually go through series of steps in order to make your iPhone feel the power of Vista (start hating me here, please). If you're that confident in your abilities to do so, or just want to give it shot, hop over to ModMyiPhone forums for detailed instructions. Good luck!

 Qualcomm isn't going to let the European Commission block them out of the mobile Television market just because the EU is officially backing DVB-H mobile TV standards. To that end, Qualcomm has just snatched up a 40Mhz swath of L-Band spectrum in the UK for $16.3 million. The purchase will apparently let Qualcomm test their MediaFLO network in the UK in hopes of proving to the general public (and government regulators) that MediaFLO can hang with the DVB-H standard.
The push to bring MediaFLO to the UK is significant, even though no where near what Qualcomm is investing in to the US mobile TV market. Qualcomm is putting up $800 million to build out their MediaFLO network in The Says, with Verizon Wireless and AT&T on-board to use the mobile Television network.
Still, the buy of spectrum solely for MediaFLO could help Qualcomm bring MediaFLO to the forefront of mobile TV service in the UK. “Could” being the operative word here.
“Acquiring this spectrum will enable us to develop, test and explore a variety of innovative wireless services and technologies that’ll benefit European consumers and the wireless industry as a whole,” stated Andrew Gilbert, executive VP for Qualcomm.

 Windows Mobile Live Search fans will be glad to hear that Microsoft has just updated their popular Live Search application with expanded features and Windows Mobile 6.1 support. Live Search should be installed on all Windows Mobile phones, in my thought. So it's good to see that WM6.1 is now fully compatible with the integrated search tool.
The new Windows Live Search takes the tried and true local search, maps, driving directions, traffic info, gas prices, and movie times formula and has added:
- weather information
- Web search
- an archived search function
- Windows Mobile 6.1 compatiblility
- Bluetooth headset support speech-recognition
Grab your copy of the new Windows Live Search from http://wls.live.com.

 While South Korean companies like Samsung enjoy all the good graces of the South Korean government, outsiders have typically had a hard time breaking into their market due to regulations governing the entry of foreign manufacturers. For example, RIM has been shut out from the South Korean market, leaving push-email junkies in the country unable to get a taste of the CrackBerry craze that's swept up corporate types around the globe.
Well, following RIM CEO Jim Balsillie's recent visit to South Korea's Organization on Economic Cooperation and Development's Ministerial Meeting on the Future World wide web Economy, the South Korean government has relaxed its stance on RIM's presence in the country. RIM has been granted entry to the high-tech market via corporate BlackBerry sales. That means RIM will be, for the first time, granted to sell corporate fleets of BlackBerry handsets and service to businesses looking to keep their workforce continuously update and in the loop with real-time push email. It should be interesting to see how well RIM does in South Korea, given that most companies don't issue mobile phones to their employees. Perhaps the BlackBerry craze will change all that.
There won't be any sales to individuals, but if your South Korean company's IT department sees fit, you can grab a BlackBerry sometime around July or August. Welcome to the BlackBerry craze, South Korea.

DreamSpring released a new version of its popular contact management application for Symbian UIQ phones - DreamConnect 3. The version 3.60 is primarily enhanced to make the application more accessible using fingers, hence it's best for those owning the Sony Ericsson W960i smartphone.
Gesture support providers quicker and more convenient access to contact details. Users can simply swipe their finger or thumb either to the left or right to scroll through contact details or up and down to scroll through the contact list. On the upcoming Sony Ericsson G700 and G900, this even takes advantage of their accelerated scrolling feature.
Additionally, all commonly used commands are now put on the list view's toolbar to further reduce key presses, hence eliminating the need for a stylus.
Finally, DreamConnect 3 v3.60 enhances scrolling performance for about 66%, and also adds “Key Match” to the existing range of search methods.
The application costs 24.95 EUR and the new version is available as a free upgrade to existing DreamConnect 3 owners… More information is available on DreamSpring's website.

Swisscom secured the rights to carry the iPhone in the land of watches, cheese and banks. It's the first-gen version which many of you already own, and not the rumored 3G version with GPS, mobile TV and video conferencing.
Similarly to SingTel's or Vodafone's announcement, Swisscom isn't saying anything but “we got the iPhone.” You can register to be notified when they start selling the device and that's about it. I would anticipate them to begin selling the iPhone sooner rather than later. After 3G iPhone is officially out and hacked, I doubt many people will still crave for the old one…

 It's cool to have a single number to ring all your phones, but if you're a savvy user, you also want you voicemail converted to text. Guess that's why voicemail-to-text and visual voicemail services provider, PhoneTag (former Simulscribe), decided to collaborate with the Google-owned service.
Prior to this integration, consumers who wanted to experience unified communication had to choose between PhoneTag, which automatically transcribes and delivers voice messages as text and Google's GrandCentral service, which rings all phones at once. GrandCentral does not offer voicemail-to-text to its user base, nor does it deliver a .wav file of the original voice message. Now consumers can have all their numbers ring at the same time and, if the call goes unanswered, be able to read their voicemail through PhoneTag.
What's else to tell. By combining PhoneTag with GrandCentral, a killer app is born. You'll still be able to choose a single number for all your phones, while at the same time, being able to read your voicemail!
Full release is available on PRNewswire.
