One hundred percent nonsense. That’s the only way I can describe the story going around talking about how teens are “getting high” while I-Dosing . I tried using I-Doser nearly three years ago , and let me tell you something: it’s bunk

What’s all this nonsense about I-Dosing? Your kids aren’t ‘getting high’ on digital music, so calm down.

If you’re using both hands to play a musical instrument, the last thing you want to worry about is turning the pages of sheet-music as you play. The traditional solution was to make somebody do it for you, or to quickly reach up and do it yourself

Panasonic has released five new compact point-and-shoot cameras, ranging from the $250 TS10 up to the $500 LX5, whose premature store listing we covered yesterday.

Apple has approved a flashlight application which contains a hidden function: Data tethering for the iPhone. The app, named Handy Light, appeared to be yet another flashlight app, but by working through some amusing network settings and then selecting the colors in the app in the right order, it lets iPhone users share cellular internet connection with another wireless device. Predictably the app has already disappeared from the store.

If you are stuck with an old iPhone but wish you had an Android device, there’s a way to combine the two, creating a smartphone with the body of the former and the brains of the latter. A recent hack shows how to run the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 2.2 aka FroYo, on Apple’s iPhone 3G. The mod still has a few bugs and isn’t stable enough for everyday use, but it’s a first step towards creating a hacked Android operating system for the iPhone.
