If you’ve been following our sister-site iPhoneBuzz over the past few days, you may have been keeping track of Nullriver’s NetShare app for the iPhone. Intended to offer iPhone users a way to tether their handsets, via WiFi, to their laptops (for use as an external modem), the program initially went on sale through the Apple [...]
Given the ongoing Psystar legal tousle, you can bet Apple’s legal team are keenly watching EFiX’s nifty USB dongle that allows you to run OS X on good old generic PC hardware. However EFiX themselves seem to be having more fun demonstrating their setup than worrying about the potential legal ramifications; TeknoJunkie caught up with [...]
Vuzix’s iWear VR920 has been around since the tail-end of last year, promising virtual reality for multiple games. Of course, software tends to move faster than hardware does, and while the iWear’s compatibility list was pretty comprehensive back then, mid-way through 2008 and it’s not looking so hot. Perhaps I’m a cynic but I’d half [...]
When Apple sued OS X clone-maker Psystar earlier this month, some commenters suggested that multiple other cloners could spring up depending on the outcome of the case.

A secondary Linux OS, Splashtop allows users to quickly access internet, messaging and VoIP apps without needing to go through the hassle of booting Vista. [...]
Rating around “no surprise” on the predictability chart, Mac-clone manufacturer Psystar has just received some unpleasant legal documentation from Apple, alleging counts for violation of its shrink wrap license, trademark and copyright infringement. The suit, filed at the federal district court for the northern district of California, suggests Apple has been infuriated not only by [...]
Most people would say the frustrating thing about the MSI Wind is its shipping delay, but Microsoft MVP Paul O’Brien has taken issue with another aspect: its OS. Working on an Advent 4211 rebadge, Paul has stripped the budget ultraportable of Windows and replaced it with Apple’s OS X Leopard. The result is a 10-inch mini-MacBook.

Apple has the right to brag – it has sold over a million iPhone 3Gs during the first weekend (It was launched on Friday). The first generation of iPhone took over two months to reach one million sales number, but it takes only three days for the second generation to reach that pinnacle.
EFiX, who promise USB dongles that allow Apple’s OS X software to be installed on normal PC hardware, have finally been discussing availability and pricing. The device, which allows you to install OS X from a standard retail DVD, together with install any available patches and tweaks, will now be available in V1 or V2 [...]
