Time names iPhone "Invention Of the Year"

by Paul Miller posted Nov 1st 2007 @ 11:06AM

Apple's "love it," "hate it" or "hack it to pieces" iPhone is Time's "Invention Of the Year," following up last year's YouTube win. Nothing more to say about this thing that hasn't been said a million times, but don't worry, Time is careful to retread it all just in case you've been in a coma since January.

Daylight Saving Time update roundup!

Do DST Rule Change Blues have you down? Well buck up, kiddo -- we've got all (well, most) of the software patches you need to get the smartphone of your choice back into tip-top time-keeping shape right here. Though the changes -- which shift and lengthen the number of weeks we're pushed forward an hour -- should generally make us all happier, better, and more peaceful people, our phones stand to get a little confused about the situation without an update, and surprisingly, manufacturers seem to be doing a decent job in making sure those updates are available. As you find more, please add them in comments and we'll get 'em into the master list!

Pantech shows off concept mobiles

by Chris Ziegler posted Jul 9th 2006 @ 8:01PM

"Communications beyond time and place" is the theme for Pantech's round of concepts for next-generation mobile devices, and though we don't really know what that means, we like a lot of what we're seeing. Apparently "time" is a reference to the fourth dimension, which ties into the 4G services these phones are designed to support. No deets on a possible release for any of these; we're guessing we shouldn't be holding our breath, but if these serve as inspiration for Pantech's design direction, we're all for it -- especially considering these guys put together the rather unfortunate-looking Hero for Helio.
