Wireless Sync For iPhone And iPod

Ultra Wideband (UWB) Peripherals.
Alereon, Inc., the Certified Wireless USB technology leader for Worldwide Ultra Wideband (UWB) WiMedia solutions, today announced the first demonstration of an Apple iPhone/iPod peripheral reference design based on the new worldwide, low power 90nm-LP AL5301 chip built at Samsung's 12inch wafer fabrication facility in Korea.

The demonstration consists of a small wireless USB peripheral connected to a typical iPhone or iPod's edge connector. The adapter enables any iPhone or iPod to both provide extra battery power/charging as well as synchronize wirelessly to iTunes whether on a Windows or MAC OS machine. Future enhancements will enable connectivity to HDTVs for displaying photos or videos.

"Our new AL5301, because of its low power consumption, allowed us to produce a small form factor ideal for use with Apple's elegant iPhone family"

New iPhone To Support HD Video? iPhone HD

iPhone HD
According to a post on Apple is consolidating it's Composite and Component AV cable in Simply Apple AV Cable, allowing connecting to HDtv and SDtv displays using the same cable, as the new cable will support both components and composite connection.
The phonenews is suggesting that the next generation of iPhone and iPod touch will have advanced HD display capacity on both the devices. Apple is likely to offer at least one version of the iPhone and one version of iPod touch with higher resolution screen, to attract users and would be users of Zune HD, HTC Touch HD and HTC Touch Pro2.
Current iPhones and iPods has 480i and 480p and the up coming devices are said to have 720p and 1080i like most video devices.
Perhaps this is Apple's new take on consumer video after lack luster response to it's Apple TV. Perhaps next Apple TV will be a entertainment hub to Apple's consumer video ambitions.
Phonenews.

iPOD Was Invented In 1979! By Kane Kramer.

image from Dailymail

Burst com that supposed to be holding a bunch of patents that people are calling too broad has settled with Apple out of court (Ha! Nice move, Burst!). This has come after Apple bringing out a British inventor, Kane Kramer, who sketched up developed a prototype of a very iPOD like device in 1979, as seen above. As we all know, iPODs has been used for other than music, like for VoIP with SIP for IPod.
A few companies like Microsoft had settled with Burst regarding these patents earlier. May thinking to get them on good bye patent! But there supposedly more fighting with Burst like apple. Burst in their case against Apple said iPOD was covered under a patent that was awarded in 1990!
