iPhone - iPodall items releated to Apple's iPhone and related equipment Plaintiffs ask federal judge to force Apple to hand over the iPhone 1.1.1 source code in Jailbreaking caseComputerworld has the story. A lawsuit that has been dragging on since the iPhone 1.1.1 update that bricked a lot of jailbroken iPhones got an interesting twist this week. The plaintiffs in the case are requesting that Apple reveal the source code of the iPhone 1.1.1 software so they can ascertain whether or not Apple maliciously bricked jailbroken iPhones or whether is was just a by-product of the new software code. Good luck with that. I can't think of anything that Apple would want to give up less than that source code, even if it is two years and iterations old. ( Filed Under: )
Gameloft Exec: On Android nobody is making significant revenue
"We have significantly cut our investment in Android platform, just like ... many others," Gameloft finance director Alexandre de Rochefort said at an investor conference. Rochefort said the company has cut back on investment mostly due to weaknesses of Android's application store. "It is not as neatly done as on the iPhone. Google has not been very good to entice customers to actually buy products. On Android nobody is making significant revenue," Rochefort said. Games for iPhone generated 13 percent of Gameloft's revenue in the last quarter. "We are selling 400 times more games on iPhone than on Android," Rochefort said. 400 to one isn't a good ratio for Android no matter how big a lead the iPhone has had.

Verizon Droids already dropping in price. Dell sells for $120
Verizon/Motorola have taken a different approach with their top handset. Merely a week after launch, the Droid has already lost $80 in value over at Dell who are selling it for $120 with plan. This follows news that the Palm Pre is selling for $79.99 at Amazon (Pixie is $24.99 - not even enough to qualify for free shipping - zoikes). Why are Verizon and Motorola so quick to discount the Droid when apparently it has been flying off of shelves?

Flip cameras to get Wifi, take on iPod NanosLatest word out of Cisco is that they haven't yet ceded the ultra portable video camera throne to Apple's iPod Nano. In fact, they have a Wifi update planned for the Flip line. The new Flips will be able to upload videos to (assuming here) Youtube and Facebook type sites for immediate sharing with friends and family. Still pictures should also be uploadable as well. Pocket-Lint is also saying it won't have a touch screen viewfinder and it should be an early 2010 release. Details are thin on the ground at the moment, but we've been informed by a Cisco spokesperson that the new model will feature "a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath" allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video. Overall, this leak looks like bad timing for Cisco. Having a new product outed the week before Black Friday isn't a good strategy. To celebrate, Amazon has marked down the current Flip models by considerable margins. And if you are into the Flip, you might want to check out the slightly more expensive but way cooler Casio Exilm EX-G1 camera. It is waterproof, takes 12 megapixel stills and wide format video.
