The folks behind Orb, the application/service that allows you to stream content from your PC to other devices, just announced the iPhone support. Now Apple handset's users are able to access all the content from their PC — including Television — to their shiny device. Naturally, iPod Touch is also supported but it is required, however, that both iPhone and/or iPod are jailbroken. And while we’ve nothing against that — on the contrary, we support iPhone being totally open — I'm curious to see how will Apple react to this. I guess Orb could argue this is just a temporary solution, until the new firmware with third-party apps becomes available. In the meantime, you can grab OrbLive from “Multimedia” menu in the Installer.app, or check out the short video demonstration of Orb in “iPhone action” after the jump.

Bell Mobility in Canada is set to add two mid-range devices to its portfolio. The first one, Samsung Ace, is considered to be the BlackJack's younger brother, boasting full QWERTY keyboard, Windows Mobile 6 Standard edition, 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth support. The lack of 3G and WiFi may be a dealbreaker for some people, hence they might ignore it on Might 12th when it officially hits the Bell's portfolio.
Other device Bell is adding targets feature phone users who search for a decent looking music-enabled phone. The LG Vantage looks like a Shine's clone, yet unlike the original device uses plastic instead of metal. The specs include 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD slot. The LG Vantage will sell anywhere from CA$225 on a three year term to CA$425 sans any contract. That's starting from May 16th when it becomes available.

The BlackBerry 9000 is the next greatest thing to come out of Waterloo. With loads of photos already circulating the interwebs and Blackberry 9000 specs already known, there's not much that we don't know about the curvy handset.
Good thing for us, CrackBerry has their own BlackBerry 9000 live and in-hand for an in-depth look at RIM's new user interface. The BlackBerry 9000 sports BlackBerry OS 4.6 and the video below shows off the new UI's slick aesthetic. Menu icons light up as you scroll over them and the display's 480

 While BlackBerry users are busting out emails in real-time with the BlackBerry push email service, iPhone users are left to deal with a few third-party applications to enable push-email over their Outlook Exchange servers. Oh, and there's also Yahoo's iPhone push email support, but that service has been notoriously unreliable in dealing with real-time email delivery.
So, imagine our surprise on hearing that the next iPhone OS update - the iPhone OS 2.0 firmware - will launch packing native support for push email. A new “Settings” pane under a new “Fetch New Data” category shows a toggle switch to enable push email. The screenshot below shows that push email is supported for .Mac.
It looks like Apple won’t only be bringing true push email  support to the iPhone 2.0, but they are also going to begin automatic email retrieval as “Fetch” email while referring to all real-time email as “Push” email.
We can't wait to get our hands on the final version of the iPhone OS 2.0. If push email turns out to be available through Apple Mail, Microsoft Exchange, and Yahoo alongside .Mac, the iPhone will be making a large push into the enterprise market.

The video starts off like an unassuming promotion for Windows' Live Mesh services. As cool as the prospect of a absolutely “connected life” is, the real gem in this video is a brief glimpse of the next-generation Windows Mobile.
Fast forward to about 00:32 (32 seconds) to get a sneak peak at the next major revamping of Windows Mobile - Windows Mobile 7. Compared to the sliding-pane view on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Today Screen (Home Screen), Windows Mobile 7 looks more like an evolutionary update. Whereas Windows Mobile 6.1 is more of a cosmetic refresh on Windows Mobile (aside from much-welcomed features like threaded SMS text messages), Windows Mobile 7 looks like it has built some more functionality behind the aesthetics. The sneak-peak is too short to really get a feel for WM7, so this is all speculation. But, from what we can see, it looks like the sliding-pane motif has been expanded on.

 DoubleClick recently announced that its mobile division, DoubleClick Mobile, is integrating with mobile ad networks — including AdMob, Google's AdSense for mobile content, and Millennial Media's premium MBrand network as well as its Decktrade performance network. The idea is to help mobile publishers fill more of their available inventory and earn more revenue.
Now, publishers using DoubleClick Mobile can sell mobile display inventory indirectly, through automated access to one or more networks of mobile advertisers. Publishers, of course, can continue to sell directly as they’ve always done. DoubleClick Mobile provides an accurate view of what inventory is available to sell, what has been sold directly and what has been filled by ad networks. By managing inventory across direct and indirect channels, DoubleClick Mobile helps publishers superior monetize their mobile web content.
Commenting on the announcement group product manager for DoubleClick products Ari Paparo said: “We believe that the ability to sell mobile inventory directly and indirectly will provide mobile advertisers with more options, ultimately leading to better monetization for publishers.”

Eidos will be launching the Commodore 64 classic game, Jupiter Lander, mobile game this June. Those that not remember, Jupiter Lander was released 25 years ago and since than it has been cloned for quite a few times. The storyline (if there is such thing in this game) is simple: It's up to you to steer a space craft to safety using only thrusters as directional controls and ease it on to a choice of landing bays.
Boasting ten challenging stages, the player begins each level with a limited supply of fuel which is depleted every time the ship's thrusters are engaged. As the player progresses, the level designs grow more fiendish with craggy rock formations testing the player's skills, while later stages add ever more hazards. Adding to the challenge are multiple landing zones located throughout the levels, with the harder to reach areas offering huge bonuses for the intrepid pilot.
You can play the original Jupiter Lander in what Eidos calls the “perfect recreation of the Commodore 64 game complete with eight-colour palette and retro visuals,” or as a polished contemporary version featuring all-new graphics, complete with particle effects and a zoom mode. Both game modes, though, retain the timeless gameplay of the original, with the simplistic controls perfectly suited for mobile phone use.
What can I state - I don't care about the new polished version. It's the old one that caused many sleepless nights “back in the days.”
