Samsung Omnia with tilt sensor

Spelomaniac over at Modaco.com has however managed to break this compatibility barrier by implementation atranslation layer which direct the accelerometer output from the Samsung Omnia through a fake HTCSensorSDK.dll, meaning many of the apps designed for the HTC Touch Diamond and Pro will also work on the Omnia (ignoring the differences in screen resolution and aspect ratio of course).

iPhone 3G under the hood

iphone 3g board under the hood

TechOnline has a report about exactly what makes it tick and they’ve managed to identify all the important chips on the iPhone’s mainboard to get some insight into Apple’s design choices.

Of particular interest is how many of the new wireless parts are from Infineon, while the main processor remains a Samsung part. Strangely, given Apple’s huge flash order with Samsung, the memory itself seems to be from Toshiba. Check out the original article for a fuller description of the new iPhone’s silicon underpinnings. There are also some videos of the teardown.
