BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion has just signed up with the Wireless Power Consortium, which is an organization trying to establish open standards for (you guessed it) wireless charging called Qi. Although the Palm ( NSDQ: PALM ) Pre gets all the love for wireless charging through its inductive battery door, RIM has been including charging contacts on its devices for a long time to use with charging pods – it’s not quite the same, but the sentiment’s there

After being open for barely 2 years, Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) is going to shut down their Flagship Store in London because it has “not been as efficient or as profitable as we’d have liked it to” said a Nokia spokeswoman. The decision was a tough one and has “not been taken lightly” she added, saying that the store didn’t allow to bring the company’s services services “to life”. Word of Advice: Don’t blame the terrible state of Ovi for the terrible state of your store

Google and Microsoft have joined the I3A ( International Imaging Industry Association ) and more importantly the CPIQ ( Camera Phone Image Quality ) Initiative. What does this mean to you? A 3rd party organization is going to give star ratings to camera phones and then slap them on retail boxes in the hopes that consumers actually pay attention to their newly developed metric instead of going “OMFG 12 MEGAPIXELS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN 8 MEGAPIXELS!!!”

If you think adding a crazy SLR (single lens reflex) lens to an iPhone’s camera is going to turn your smartphone into a Frankenstein-ish cameraphone to be envied by all, think again. Sure, and an SLR lens has vastly superior optical quality, loads more light-gathering ability, and optical zoom capabilities that would make an iPhone cry, but none of that is going to help you take better photos with your Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) phone. Don’t believe us

When it comes to courtroom justice on the Nintendo DS, Phoenix Wright is the judge, jury, and executioner.  All terrible court jokes aside, Capcom’s Mobile Contents Head Takeshi Tezuka announced earlier today they’ll be bringing Phoenix Wright to the iPhone during a talk session at the Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) Store in the Ginza district of Tokyo, Japan. The title that started it all, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, will be the first title in the series to be given the iPhone treatment.  Takeshi-san told attendees to expect more than just a simple port, saying the iPhone’s ‘flick’ input when selecting different commands to input.  No word yet on a release date, but we’re told it should be out “soon”
