Researchers at Stanford have developed a new method of using silicon nanowires in lithium-ion batteries. These new batteries produce 10 times the charge of existing Li-ion batteries. The silicon in typical batteries tends to pulverize during the expand and shrink process of charging and discharging. Nanowires avoid the fracturing problem due to their extremely thin shape which is 1/1000th the thickness of a a sheet of paper. This greatly enhances the batteries performance. The new batteries could be used in anything from laptops to electric cars.

This is a device not that different from the Samsun i760 but a tad smaller. The SMT5800 incorporates CDMA phone technology but does not include built-in Wi-Fi capability. Otherwise is almost identical to the HTC S710. This small candy bar-style phone hs a 12-key dial pad on the front of the device as well as a vertical QWERTY keyboard that slides out the the left. Also the phone comes with a 2.4 inch QVGA color non-touch screen, Bluetooth 2.0 and a built in 2 megapixel camera. However if you prefer touch screen device you might as well go for the Samsumg i760 or the XV6800.

There are some of us that need to save as much cell phone battery sometimes so here are a few tips. Some of this tips work also for laptops.

Turn off your phone’s Bluetooth detection and darken the screen display.

Turn off the phone when you’re not using it. Good to know for that 5 hour wait at the airport tonight.

Set the network speed to “slow”.

Disable any bluetooth lights, fun lights, or any unncecesary lights on your phone. Any external display or lights will continually wake up the CPU and power management controller which may drain more battery than the original function.

If you use bluetooth, set your phone to ‘hidden’ so it does not make it discoverable continuously.

Disable the screen saver. When this activates, it wakes up the screen using more power.

When you are in an area where you don’t have signal in your phone, turn it off or switch to airplane mode (disables all RF functions). It will continually page the network otherwise and completely drain you battery in 2 hours.

Color Rush is a cross between Othello, and Chinese Checkers. The board starts as a sea of colored gems. You start as the white gem on the lower left corner. The opponent is the black gem (some little player that lives deep within your phone).One by one you click on colored gems that stand adjacent to your white gem. Click it and it becomes white. But for every colored gem you click, your iPhone Gnome turns around his to black. The object is to have more white gems than black ones.

Here’s an interesting video about how to tell if your phone is being bugged.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog, source of much of the details behind The Great iPhone Hack 2007, brings news of the release of the AppSnapp installer, which bypasses Apple’s OS X 1.1.1 update in order to let iPhone and iPod Touch users put third-party applications on their devices. This appears to be one of the simplest jailbreak applications yet released for the 1.1.1 update; the others involved lots of complicated steps or additional scripts to open up the iPhone.

Until the expected release of the SDK, it’s very likely that Apple will have at least one more software update for the iPhone that could wipe out these jailbreaking efforts, and may once again brick the phones. If you go ahead and install AppSnapp, understand that you probably won’t be able to get service for your iPhone if you walk into the store with AppSnapp installed and a problem for the Geniuses. You might be able to do a factory restore to get AppSnapp off the phone and just install it after you’re done with the service.

Many fawn over the iPhone, while others ignore it, put off by the high initial cost and a ridiculous service contract. For many, Skype is the way to go. iSkoot has announced the December 2007 release of the White phone, the first Skype-dedicated mobile handset that uses iSkoot’s mobile Skype technology to place VoIP calls. You can make unlimited Skype calls and Skype chat directly from the handset for a monthly subscription fee. With iSkoot, you can view your buddy lists, make and receive Internet phone calls, and take part in instant messaging sessions with virtually any handset. The phones will be available in the U.K., followed by Italy and Australia.

The White Phone will be available in December on Skype’s website, www.skype.com

It may be tucked in your attaché, pocket or glove box and it should work fine. Bluetooth, however, is a short distance wireless protocol so you may not get too far from the phone before disconnecting.
