On September 11th, Jonathan Zdziarski, Data-forensics expert will be guiding law enforcement personnel and anybody who wants to access the not-so-readily available data on an iPhone. This will happen through the process of bypassing the passcode lock security using a custom firmware bundle in 45 minute live demo on O'Reilly.com. This will enable users to "recover, process, and remove sensitive data stored on the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch."

Now the question arises what motivates Zdziarski, who was the first to open up the iPhone to 3rd party development to do this act? In this case we have to wait and watch to see whether it will merely be educational and supporting law enforcement on methods of gathering information, or is targeted for hackers who may or may not have a malicious agenda?

Wow there is every reason for all the bike riders to get enthralled as they often when riding their bikes at top speeds! Well check out this cool and stylish bike design for Polygon which is a perfect combination of standard bike and music player.

With music becoming the lifestyle of today’s generation (everyone prefers it while driving, gym, work and on the streets as well). Keeping this in mind this bike (ipod dock) comes with an amazing music player attached with the adjustable steering which can turn the energy of the bike into power and automatically store it in the battery which can be later used for light at night and brake light. Now this is what style and attitude is all about.

Garmin’s smooth and completely free ride (free live traffic information for life on its new nüvi 7x5 and 2x5 gps navigators) isn’t that easy as it is supported by ads.

According to PC Magazine, its review unit arrived pre-loaded with ads for BP, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo, which always appear at the bottom of the screen when you access the traffic menu, and occasionally pop up on the map view screen (but not when you're in motion). A single tap of the advertisers' name will perform a POI search for nearby retail locations. Unfortunately, you can't disable these ads, but it's likely that they help Garmin offset the cost of the live traffic information that it offers free.

Well those who are already fed to the gills with these promotional tactics how much are you willing to pay to get rid of them? 

According to MarketWatch Samsung is reportedly looking to acquire Sandisk – the flash memory cards and multimedia player’s behemoth. Seems to be a perfect time as Sandisk has lost 50% of its market capitalization since June 2008.

SanDisk stock price has plummeted from $56 to just over $13 per share since this time last year and hence it looks like an ideal premise for a bidding war to the investors.

Samsung is already a flash memory behemoth and with Sandisk, it would acquire a great brand, an amazing patents portfolio, additional revenues and much more. Certainly not a bad deal for either of the companies at this price.

The Pea Speaker system concept has been grabbing the attention of viewer since its inception. Each pod holds 7 wireless Bluetooth speakers which can be placed anywhere you like, assuming you don’t get out of the connection range. Each sphere is powered by a lithium ion rechargeable via induction when placed in the pod. One of the seven holds the ability to control the master volume and each speaker pod can be charged when placed in the pod through the magic of induction. The system doesn’t do surround sound since it can’t separate channels, but it’s a good way to fill a large area with a mixed stereo track.

You can start saving now onwards as this doesn’t seem to be easily affordable. Till date no information available on pricing.

Mio has unveiled a new Leap K1 phone featuring a concept similar to SPH-M620 (Sprint Upstage in the U.S) – On one side is a decent cell phone while on the other it features a built-in GPS. The dual-face design surely seems to be an innovative concept.

The Leap K1 phone is an ideal one for those who want two functions namely phone and GPS in a compact format. What’s more the phone isn’t expensive either. At the moment, the K1 is available in China. Some of the basic features to watch out for are:

• Triband Network (900/1800/1900MHz).

• Built-in 20 channel GPS receiver with pre-installed MioMap 2008 software.

• 2.6-inch excellent touch screen.

• A 1.69-inch OLED display screen on the other side.

We know that you are already well known about Sony’s SOCOM PS3 Bluetooth headset getting official but here is one more mystery which I am sure you would be unaware of.

This headset will be offered in one retail version of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation this October and the device will be launching this fall as part of the SOCOM: Confrontation bundle for $59.99. Also if you just loathe the whole SOCOM series, you can pick it up all by its lonesome for $49.99. I know it’s a bit tough call indeed!

The Eton P’9120 is a Porsche-designed Eton iPod dock packing an alarm clock and XM satellite radio antenna. This is not just any clock radio. This Etón P’9120 has that Porsche name on it, launching it into that brand and price stratosphere that makes you think you’re really getting something exclusive.

Including docking up with your iPod, It does a lot of stuff like waking up you and the missus with dual alarms, hooking up with your XM satellite radio antenna. This down to earth looks pleasantly strange and minimalist with its three speakers and subwoofer nestled underneath. Wi-fi connectivity for Internet radio is missing. Remote for some strange reason, includes a flashlight as well.  

Porsche tries to assuage its ergonomic guilt by building in a flashlight. Odd. Still, we’re slightly enchanted by Porsche Design’s engineering on this one.

While we quake in fear of its $600 price, it still might be a worthy addition to the playboy’s nightstand.  

Well although many GPS manufacturers seem to be engrossing in the tactics to get the extra honey out of the minor feature updates and monthly subscription fees, Navigon is certainly going for the jugular with the new 2200T.

What’s more the 3.5-inch-screened nav device offers up free real-time traffic updates for life (a service that usually will run you $10 a month) in addition to fun stuff like Reality View Pro (3D images and actual road sign text), Lane Assist Pro and text-to-speech, all for a meagre $229.

Three years of map updates will cost you somewhere around $80, but the built-in maps for US and Canada should get you pretty far. No word though on when this will hit stores, but it seems it will pretty soon.
