| Video: Samsung Alias2 E-Ink Samsung Voodoo says Ozzy Posted: 23 May 2009 04:00 AM PDT Ozzy Osbourne is no stranger to promoting Samsung mobile phones, and the latest from Sammy and Ozzy is a video of the Samsung Alias2 and E-Ink technology. In the video, Ozzy is seen cowering away from the Samsung Alias2 when shown the E-Ink function and calls it black magic, and some kind of Samsung Voodoo. The video is only 51 seconds long, but you do get a clear view of the Alias2 and E-Ink technology in action, along with Ozzy's bodyguard zapping a Samsung tech with a tazer which is kind of funny in a cruel way. You can view the video below so hit it up and enjoy. |

Apparently in the first 6 months from launch only 127 iPhone 3G handsets were sold and if this rate continues the total sold over the next 18 months will amount to around 550,000 leaving a figure of between 2 and 2.5 million iPhones unsold when payment comes due. |

| AT&T iPhone 3G stock running out resorts to refurbished handsets Posted: 23 May 2009 01:50 AM PDT The word from appleinsider is that Apple iPhone 3G carrier AT&T is running out of the popular smartphone. New reports show that AT&T iPhone 3G stock is dwindling, and if fact low enough so they need to resort to offering refurbished iPhone 3G units. One could presume that strategically AT&T could well be clearing out stock of the iPhone 3G in preparation for the new iPhone as we approach WWDC on June the 8th. It has also been reported that iPhone distributor for Australia, Brightpoint has only a few weeks inventory left, while the 16GB iPhone has already been discontinued. However, AT&T denies any shortage of iPhone 3G handsets. |
