Nokia has responded instantly to the iPhone update-bricking fiasco by running a series of flyposter ads pointing out its own hardware and software is open.
While this is to be applauded, it’d be better if companies like this opened their products because they truly believed in openness, rather than to beat the competition over the head. After all, Apple itself used open source with OS X (kernel, web browser) mainly because they knew it would irritate Microsoft. Since that initial blow, they’ve been a lot less eager to promote open source.

It won’t downgrade the firmware, meaning so far you can’t re-unlock an iPhone that’s been 1.1.1, but it’s still 1.0.2 in all its third-party application glory.
The iPhone Dev Team folks are working on a way to downgrade the new firmware to let people unlock their phones again, but for now AT&T users sitting pretty, and non-AT&T folks can at least do the WiFi thing.

Palm Inc introduced its smallest smartphone on Thursday, delivers much of the functionality of a traditional smartphone with an attracting price tag.
The Centro will available in red and black, offers all of the features you would expect from such a device – a keyboard, a camera (1.3 megapixel), a decent display (320×320 pixel), Bluetooth connectivity, an MP3 player as well as organizer application. What is surprising, however, is that it also comes with EvDO wireless broadband capability, which should make the web browser and embedded Google Maps much more useful applications than they are, for example, in Apple’s iPhone.

Apple has shipped an iPhone software update for security purpose, also disable 3rd party apps and unlocking.
The mega which shipped today as iPhone v1.1.1, patches seven holes in Safari, a code execution and denial-of-service bug in Bluetooth, and two flaws affecting the built-in Mail service, which could allow malicious hackers to launch executable code, steal e-mail credentials or take control of the device’s phone-dialing capabilities.
Also, a post-update reactivation requires a genuine AT&T SIM. In other words, it looks like Apple may have just disabled thousands of unlocked phones around the world.

Official pics of the Samsung/Armani mashup.
Tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM, 3 megapixel camera, 2.6-inch 262K color QVGA touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, microSD expansion, full Internet browser, and support for H.263, AAC/MP3/WMA audio and MPEG-4 video. Fine and dandy but this little guy also features a haptic feedback user interface like Samsung’s SCH-W559 handset loosed long ago in China — “users can feel an immediate mild vibration when they touch icons on the display.”
