iPhone App Records Your Phone Number

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday regarding Apple’s iPhone. It seems that Storm8, the developer of iPhone games like “Vampires Live” and “iMobsters”, is going to be at the receiving end of a potential class-action lawsuit. The suit alleges that Storm8 created the games with a “feature” that automatically sends the phone number of each host iPhone to the developer. A Washington resident Michael Turner is suing on grounds that this is in violation of both the federal computer fraud and abuse act and also California state law, and he’s also busy pushing to turn it into a class-action suit, ouch. Maybe putting that kind of code into your app isn’t all that smart. What would you do if you found this out?

Smaller iPhone Coming To Verizon?

Spanner iPhone Coming To Verizon?

We haven’t heard an “iPhone Mini” rumor in a while, so the rumor mill has probably decided that it’s time to kickstart things again. According to the latest whispers, it seems that Apple has signed contracts to produce a UMTS/CDMA hybrid iPhone, which is planned to be released in Q3 of 2010. Based on the rumor, the phone will be built around a dual-system chip from Qualcomm, allowing this “iPhone Mini” to run on virtually any GSM/UMTS cellular network worldwide, and also on the CDMA2000 networks. Verizon has been said to be the target carrier of this new device. Further details include a manufacturer will be Pegatron, a subsidiary of Asustek, instead of Foxconn, which is currently the sole-source provider of iPhone hardware. Last but not least, the display is said to be 2.8-inches, making it smaller than the current 3.5-inch display in the current iPhone. Will this turn out to be true? We certainly wouldn’t mind.

LG rely on Snapdragon processor

LG is currently working on a new phone that will be powered by the Snapdragon processor while running on Google's Android operating system. No idea on further details, but we do know that this handset will roll out in South Korea first (as with most other cool handsets), although for that to happen, you still gotta wait till the second quarter of 2010. This will be the second Android attempt from LG as their first was known as Etna, a QWERTY slider.

Rogers could carry HTC Touch2

Rogers Wireless of Canada could very well be the first mobile carrier in North America to make the HTC Touch2 available to the masses, at least that's what some sources have pointed out. Word also has it that this Windows Mobile 6.5-powered smartphone will also feature several colors that won't be considered normal for the handset. There is still no word on pricing or a launch date, so do stay tuned.

White BlackBerry 8900 From AT&T?

We’re not sure whether you can still call it a BlackBerry or not, seeing that it’s partly white, but we’ll just go with the flow here. A leaked picture shows a white colored BlackBerry Curve 8900 being offered by AT&T. It might be down to personal taste, but it’s nice to see that the keyboard is still the traditional black, don’t you think?

Dell Mini 3iX Hits The FCC

You saw a picture of the Dell Mini 3iX over in Brazil a couple of days back, and now the Mini 3iX has taken the time to pay the FCC a visit (and get its approval). Sporting 850/1900 GSM and UMTS bands, the phone will also sport Wi-Fi, a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with 640 x 360 resolution, A-GPS, 3-megapixel camera and also support for Microsoft Exchange. There isn't any mention what version of Android will be bundled on the phone, but we're hoping that it's going to be at least Android 2.0.
