YouTube is also offering a free Java application to give mobile phones an alternative to accessing YouTube videos. Details in the full article.

We found this new video over at YouTube claiming that UK publication Stuff Magazine has finally revealed the elusive PlayStation Portable Phone, a long-rumored collaboration between Sony's PlayStation department and Sony Ericsson.

The owner of the video mentioned that he was unable to read the contents of the article so what he did was just took a quick and short clip of the page. The video and a few reminders after the jump!

Well, it looks like it's official - Google will reportedly unveil early next month the details of its new operating system for smartphones. Exactly what the new development will be is still kept under wraps.

What was previously speculated as a new brand of mobile phone to be produced by the Internet giant was instead a foray into the software aspect of mobile phones. According to reports from Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the company will be bundling familiar Google service software along with the new OS, such as Gmail and Youtube, and will also be open to third-party developers.

While the "Gphone" software won't need a specific device to run it, there have been rumors of Google supposedly talking to HTC and LG, as well as wireless service providers like T-Mobile and Orange, about producing specialized units for it. It was however confirmed in a follow up article by WSJ that Google is already in "advanced discussions" with Verizon Wireless and Sprint on the new mobile units.

Hoping to break into the already established mobile operating system market, Google will be squaring itself off against other acknowledged open platform operating systems, including Symbian/S60, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, and Palm OS. Hopefully, we'll be hearing more concrete news from the Internet search giant in the following months to come.

The mobile market won't see a Googlephone for now, but Google is still bent on making an impact on the mobile industry. The internet giant will be trying to develop easily accessible applications on mobile phones, and provide an open-source mobile phone operating system to let third-party software developers go crazy in making applications for Google-optimized phones.

Google already approached a number of mobile phone manufacturers and conferred with them about the production of handsets specifically made compatible for the use of Google software, like the ever-useful Google Maps, Gmail and YouTube, among others.

However, since the internet mogul is planning on releasing an entirely open platform mobile operating systems, there is the issue of privacy as well as data security - two pressing matters that should be addressed.

Will Google be able to push through with their ambitious project? Only time can tell.

The iPhone has sparked a trend in the phone industry with their widely popular touch screen - and not to be bested, the new Nokia S60 Touch Interface will also sport a touch screen that covers almost the entire face of the phone. The product was demonstrated at the Symbian Smartphone Show today.

The S60 Smartphone will have a "complete" Web video experience, featuring support for Flash videos integrated into the browser. This means you can browse YouTube videos on the go. A new toolkit for developers will also ensure third party programs will enter the S60 Touch scene.

It's to be noted that the iPhone and iPod Touch have also been advancing in their web tech. The Nokia S60 phone will be available probably sometime in 2008.

A lot of videos have been floating around the 'net about people finally cracking the mystery surrounding the iPhone code, making it work with any sim card inserted into it. However, unlike most anonymous videos regarding the subject, geohot and his group have found a full hardware unlock for the iPhone and made a careful documentary of it in a video on YouTube and on his site.

Geohot has even gone as far as detailing the steps on how to unlock it on his blog, with the standard disclaimer that doing so may inadvertently brick you phone, so do so at your own risk. Even now they are working on a software unlock for the iPhone as well, telling everyone to stay tuned at their site when more updates arrive.

The "legendary" unlocked iPhone was even put on sale at eBay at a starting bid of US $540. So far it has received up to 10 bids and has risen to US $1,575 as of today. The items in the eBay auction bid include: the phone, the serial dock accompanying it, as well as the official unlock switch depicted from the blog.

While this sort of practice may not exactly be something that Apple may approve, it just goes to show that no matter how fool-proof the technology claims itself to be, the industry itself is an ever changing and ever evolving process that people will continually surpass and even improve it when applied properly.

Hats off to Xerox for this tip!

Hacking the iPhone's EDGE connection for your laptop's net-surfing pleasure? Nate True over at the cre.ations blog points this out as an interesting proposition with the srelay application, which when properly uploaded into your iPhone, turns it into a SOCKS server. Before interested readers can get cracking, however, the hack requires that owners run their iPhone through the Jailbreak app, and have had the phone tethered to their PC.

The instructions should be available in the read link, although readers are warned that using the iPhone's EDGE connection for their laptop may get them into hot water with AT&T terms of service agreement. Furthermore, the instructions that will be provided for were done using Windows only - the author has yet to test them on a Mac. And definitely no word if this may conflict with the previously detected Vodafone exploit.

To give you an idea of how the whole hack will look, we'll also provide for this similar YouTube video we picked up, posted by buzzert1.

Will the iPhone blend? That is the question.

The crazy folks at Blendtec have pulverized almost each and every sundry item under the sun: make-up, toilet flushers, Transformers, torches, video cameras, and - with a touch of normality - a can of EZ Cheese. With the can.

Not satisfied with all of the outrageous things already submitted to the ultimate test of blending, fans from Youtube egged Tom Dickson and the rest of the Blendtec team  to try and see how an iPhone will hold up to the ultimate blenderizer tool, just in time for the current iPhone craze. From what we have seen in the video, we can safely say that the iPhone does have some durability built into it. Our bleeding hearts still couldn't get over the sight of the iPhone getting violently chopped, though.

So, will the iPhone blend? Check the video to find out.

If you know your basic internet culture, you probably already know that the question on every other person's mind online is "what insanely innovative stiff will Google come up with next?" Today, we have the answer for you: Google-owned YouTube is coming to mobile phones soon.

The most popular video sharing site in the world has signed a deal with the fifth-largest mobile handset maker in the world today, LG Electronics of South Korea.

At the core of the agreement is the development of a mobile phone which can access the YouTube server and deliver streaming clips on the go. It's never been done or attempted before, but LG says a working design could be seen as early as this year. "LG Electronics will unveil a mobile handset that fully supports the YouTube service for the first time in Europe in the second half of this year," said the company in a statement.

Right now, YouTube has around 100 million users worldwide, driving up the demand to have it in every appropriate medium. It has some 70,000 user-created content which are readily accessible and are steadily on the rise.
